Tlecān

Mezcalería · Mexico City · Roma Norte · Chef Eli Martínez Bello

Tlecān (Náhuatl for 'place of fire') is a Roma Norte mezcalería where every aspect transports guests to pre-Hispanic times. Designed by Anagrama with monochrome earthy materials and dramatic mood lighting, the bar features the iconic Disc of the Death clay sculpture. No commercial brands — only artisanal agave distillates from small producers, with particular focus on spirits made by female distillers.
