Ticuchi

Ticuchi is an agave-driven bar-restaurant in Polanco by Enrique Olvera. Its open street-side kitchen, centered on a clay comal, signals a casual yet polished approach. The compact menu leans Oaxacan, with shareable vegetable-focused dishes meant to pair with cocktails. Standouts include the mushroom tamal with cotija and epazote and the chicharrón de arroz served with cricket-spiked chintextle.

Agave spirits are the star here, from tequila and mezcal to regional distillates like sotol and bacanora, offered neat or in balanced house cocktails. A young, stylish crowd and warm service round out Ticuchi’s contemporary, lively atmosphere.
