El Catrin Destileria

Lively Mexican restaurant with a vast tequila and mezcal list

Address 18 Tank House Lane, Distillery District

A large, high-energy Mexican restaurant set in one of the distillery's old buildings, with a dramatic mural-covered dining room and one of the biggest tequila and mezcal selections in the city — several hundred bottles behind the bar. The kitchen turns out tacos, antojitos, and grilled mains a step above the usual.

The real draw is the patio, one of the largest and most popular in the Distillery District, packed on summer evenings. It can get loud and busy; book ahead at weekends. It is a good choice for a sociable dinner or cocktails in the heart of the complex.
