La Capilla in the town of Tequila
I was grateful I got to meet La Capilla owner Javier Delgado Corona, who died at age 96 in 2020, during my first visit to the Jaliscan town of Tequila, Mexico, in 2010 with Fortaleza Tequila. In fact, he and his bar staff invited me behind the bar to teach me how to make his iconic Batanga cocktail (knife and all).
Always sweet to be back to this humble "church," a dive bar legend.
