Meet Hilarino Olivera Cruz. He’s one of the many rural mezcal producers of Oaxaca keeping the tradition as pure as it was centuries ago. The Hilarinos of the state pepper the villages and roadsides where tourists rarely venture. Their operations are a far cry from those of Benevá, Oro de Oaxaca, the brands of the Chagoya family, and the few designer labels vying with one another to corner the Manhattan sipping market. But they are crucial to the industry. |

El Tigre isn’t for everyone, but for those travelers to Oaxaca with a keen palate, looking for a taste of “the real Mexico” in a rural setting, this tiny roadside eatery shouldn’t be missed. It’s as safe as any downtown Oaxaca fine white linen restaurant, has no menu and in fact no electricity, and there’s sometimes a bit of smoke coming off the open hearth over which every selection is cooked. Fresh? Meats and produce are delivered pretty well every day or so. Mezcal? Since the owners also produce mezcal, it’s on the house. |
