World #23 bar in Roma named 'place of fire' in Náhuatl, spotlighting female mezcal distillers.
Reservation Recommended
Tlecan is a mezcal-focused cocktail bar in Roma Norte ranked #23 globally on the World's 50 Best Bars list, helmed by former Pujol beverage director Eli Martínez Bello. Named after the Náhuatl word for 'place of fire,' it stocks 13 small-batch mezcals from non-exporting female producers. The space is dramatically minimal—monochrome earthy materials, sparse mood lighting, and an ancient-tomb aesthetic designed by studio Anagrama. Cocktails draw on pre-Hispanic drink traditions (try the Tascalate Sour). A cutting-edge mezcal experience.
Reserve ahead; try the Paloma Blanca and Tascalate Sour
