How to shop Moreno's

Go in with a question rather than a brand name. Tell them what you liked last — highland or valley, bright or earthy, blanco or aged — and let the counter do what a great specialty retailer does. The deep end of the shelf is where the small-producer mezcal and limited tequila releases live, and those bottles rarely make it to a chain store in this city.

We do not publish exact bottle counts unless they're verified at publication time. What's consistent is the depth and the expertise.
