Oaxaca City
Belly up to the bar here and order a Mexican corn whisky, a small-batch mezcal or one of the innovative cocktails. Or simply go for a local craft beer, which pairs nicely with the outstanding tempura fish tacos topped with roasted pineapple and tamarind salsa. You can also delve into a six-course tasting menu featuring creative Mexican and international dishes.
Destilado's rooftop terrace serves tacos and tostadas from Thursday to Sunday.
