The filling on these guys is a little bit of everything I love about vegan Mexican food: The raw ground walnuts add an amazing meaty texture and pair perfectly with the spices and sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
If you re wondering what exactly that is, it s a bar that focuses on mezcal spirits.
El Mero Taco owners Jacob and Clarissa Dries have transformed one side of their Cordova taco shop into a bar that hosts a large library of agave spirits. There are more than 28 bottles of mezcal alone, in addition to a selection of other agave spirits.
In partnership with Nashville-based cocktail consultants PourTaste, El Mero has imported a number of agave spirits to the city for the first time. The bartenders at this elevated cocktail bar not only make cocktails, but they also educate guests by walking them through the history and heritage of Mexican spirits and drinking traditions.
