Where to Taste Mezcal at Its Origin in Oaxaca
"Set on the ground floor of the same building as Selva, this transporting restaurant sets the mood for romance with its spectacular open-air courtyard and charming staff that seems to be pulled off the stages of Broadway. Going on 20 years, Los Danzantes (Spanish for “the dancers”) recently earned a Michelin Green star. The chef uses seasonal Oaxacan ingredients sourced from the restaurant’s organic garden or small growers, following a zero-waste policy, and the restaurant produces its own mezcal. The signature dish, a deceptively simple hoja santa filled with goat cheese and smothered in warm tomatillo sauce, pairs well with a sample flight of single-species mezcals." - Lauren Mowery
