Clavel

Baltimore


Celebrating agave is the stated mission at this sultry gathering spot, where mescal flights and a mescal library are on the menu. Complement that flight with a few of chef Carlos Raba's traditional Mexican tacos, expertly simmered and seasoned with moles, chiles and salsa. They may be the best in town.
