This trailblazing Bay Area restaurant just invented a new drinking culture
Flores' program establishes a new drinking culture, as El Salvador does not have much of a cocktail tradition.
...
El Salvador has an affinity for rum, and Popoca's list would make a tiki bar envious.Additionally, the restaurant has a one-of-a-kind bottle list full of deep cuts from Latin America, like Pox, a mixed grain alcohol from Central America and southern Mexico, as well as other Mexican spirits like gin and agave distillates like raicilla and sotol, made from cactus varieties.
...
I almost shrieked when I saw my favorite rum on offer: Camazotz ($13), a wildly complex Oaxacan rum, made in the agricole style with fresh sugarcane.
...
I think the mark of a great bar is one that compels you to return and learn more.
