Los Cántaros Mezcalería

People complain of being ripped off, or that the prices are higher than other places selling the same product but that is inaccurate. The cheapest mezcal, made from farmed espadin is 210 pesos for 750ml bottle. You can save 30 if you bring your own bottle. Liquor stores in town sell the same for 230. The have fancier mezcal made from tobala, cuishe, coyote and tepaxtate species of maguey(agave) which cost between 800-950 per 750 bottle. These species grow wild only and are a whole lot more work to collect, hence the higher price. They are delicious though. The coyote being my favorite. Prices are about the same, or slightly cheaper than other reputable mezcal makers around Oaxaca city, but it’s nice to get something local, and the value is far better than buying at the nearby Chedraui or shops along the attican. If you are hoping to have a tour of the facility with a helpful English speaking guide to teach the difference between plants and their tastes, this isn’t where to look, but if you want fair prices for excellent product, treat yourself to a nice bottle (you’d the same for a bottle of scotch after all).

If you are driving by, it’s definitely a nice stop for 10 minutes but don’t make the drive from town. No English when I visited and not much to see. The prices for their mezcal were Significantly more expensive than other places carrying their product. I would pass.

Great selection. Great prices.

1200 pesos for 3 x 375 bottles. I assume I was badly ripped off as a tourist. Not sure by how much, anywhere between 200% and 1000% . If you go there take a local with you

Variety and quality. You can buy mezcal in bottles or in bulk. They also have shipping service throughout the country. We loved the special: sweet and full-bodied. Winner!
