San Diego + mezcal = tropical paradise

March 16, 2018 | Max Garrone

Man, San Diego is a real trip. Warm weather, curvy coastline, ravines running through the middle of town. Oh and amazing people who love mezcal. Suffice to say that our inaugural Mexico in a Bottle San Diego was a slamming success. We have to thank everyone involved but especially Bread & Salt for such an amazing location. There’s an patio open to the sky as well as nooks and crannies filled with art. Here’s a photo gallery for your delectation. Special thanks to JR/davemillersmexico.com for taking the photos!
