Great selection of tequilas, friendly staff and reasonable prices. I only buy "additive free" tequila and they have an awesome selection - and in varied sizes that I haven't seen in the United States (see 375 ml in photo). FYI, El Buho is a few doors down from Nuestros Dulces on the corner - both have incredible tequila selections - but El Buho was more helpful. 5 stars for El Buho! read more

This is by far my favorite tequila store in Tlaquepaque, Guadalajara Mexico. The have a great selection and have a tasting area with some great samples. I've found rare tequila here that I couldn't find anywhere else. read more

Emilio at El Bubo is one of the most knowledgeable tequilaphiles I have ever met. We tried lots of samples and he continually steered us to the best, not the most expensive. Several times he recommended the lower price of two options. I also did get a bottle of Fuenteseca 5 yr. Extra Añejo - one of the finest tequilas in the world! Simply the biggest selection and best place to buy tequilas or mezcals in Mexico! Love this place! read more

Came here on the recommendation of the Tequila Matchmaker website, but didn't buy anything. They seem to have everything that a tequila drinker could possibly want, however. The star of the show for me was Pancha, the sleepy cat who napped in the middle of the store on a pierce of cardboard with her name written on it in ballpoint pen. read more

In Tlaquepaque they hold the Guinness world record from 2014 of having the most variety of tequilas. They do have some great selections and original bottles as well as some Tequila liquor. Prices surprisingly good being as Tlaquepaque is super "turisty". They also have a great selection of Mexican artisanal candy and even found some sugar free for my diabetic mother in law. read more

I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Fabulous selection of tequilas! The owner is truly passionate about tequila and will take the time to educate and inform you about the various types of tequila and the processes involved in crafting it. I'm a bourbon and scotch enthusiast, and my visit here really opened my eyes to the world of fine tequila. A well crafted bottle of extra anejo will stand up to the finest whiskey I've had. And the prices here simply cannot be beat. Please visit and ask for samplings. You will not be disappointed. read more

They really know how to cook tasty and unique Mexican seafood. Large portions and friendly welcoming service, especially our server Efren. They also feature some nice cocktails, some include their house raicilla. Nice ambience and AC is also a plus. read more

This is the place to come to for your tequila, mezcal, raicilla, etc needs. The owner is a true tequila enthusiast. The employees are pleasantly educated in the products they sell. They are great at recommending drinks for your taste and desire, and to top it off, they have quite a variety of open bottles so you can try many of the products before you buy, at no charge. Highly recommend this store if you are visiting San Pedro Tlaquepaque. read more

This was an amazing experience!! Emilio is the man! He is the connoisseur of Mezcal and Tequila! We walked in concerned we might not be well received judging from the types of bottles and price tags . But, to our humblest surprise Emilio approached us and enthusiastically began to engage us. He is absolutely fun to talk to and listen to. He speaks of tequila as though it's his only child, perhaps it is. But he makes you want to love and cherish tequila!! I'm NOT a fan (particularly because it's never sat well) I should say I have not been a fan but after Emilio, I might just be. He educated us on the types of agaves used, took us out back and educated us on the factors that characterized different kinds of Mezcal! Did you know the spirit itself is called Mezcal?! It's only called tequila because it is produced in a region/town called Tequila! If the same batch of tequila(Mezcal) is produced outside of this region it is tagged Mezcal! However, the popular drink of tequila is made with Blue Agave! Mezcal as we know it today is generally made with Espadin Agave! I know confusing but the defining elements of these drinks are fire type, agave type, location and branding. If you use an autoclave to cook blue agave you get what we know as tequila, if you use fire wood to cook blue agave, you get Mezcal- smokey flavour. There is an obvious branding effort going on to dispel this confusion and of course there is far more to it than I'm giving. Brown vs clear... Who knows, drink to your liking but look for 100% agave! Oh, and he offers sampling from his impressive open bar!! Free Thank you Emilio, Andy et Shirley read more

Excellent service the staff was very friendly and helpful. I purchased about 10 bottles and they wrapped each one for me. They have all sorts of tequila brands and they were very generous in the tastings as well. Would love to come back. read more

Cute store, good selection, prices seemed fair. The best part was the owner took some time to walk me through some more obscure selections and gave me some samples. Excited to take home a bottle people aren't familiar with that tastes great. I'll come back. read more

Forget the tourist trap tequila tours. We spoke to Emilio who was incredibly helpful and informative. He gave us great information in how to choose the best tequila and Mescals. He even offered some taste testing and knew all the limited stock and brands not found in the states or outside Mexico. All for incredible low prices compared to the US. read more
