Eat and Stay at La Taberna de La Cofradia
The restaurant is an underground experience that takes you back to Tequila of former years past. The old tavern-like restaurant and bar features a variety of dishes and crafted beverages. It is located near the Matices Hotel de Barricas and Tequila Hacienda La Cofradia so you can enjoy a fun stay in a hotel with luxury suites or tequila-like barrel rooms before making your way on over to the vibrant underground restaurant and distillery.
Eat and Explore at the Merado de Comidas “Cleofas Mota”
You can’t visit Tequila without eating like a local. Now that you may have consumed a questionable amount of tequila, you have to visit the market to get your food fix. It is a market with various walk-up restaurants to satisfy whatever craving you might have. You will enjoy street tacos, homemade rice and other traditional dishes. And since the market is located in the middle of town, you can walk around and explore Tequila.
