“From third-generation Mexican tequila makers, LALO Tequila is our fresh take on the art of blanco. We only produce tequila blanco purely crafted with no aging process and only three ingredients for a clean taste.”

We are thrilled to host LALO for another upcoming tequila dinner! Their blanco tequila will shine in four cocktails, paired exquisitely with an elevated, family style, Mexican feast. Chef Gabriel has created a one-night-only menu inspired by the flavor profile of LALO and his home region of Durango, MX.

Join us at El Encanto on May 9 for this exciting event! Book on OpenTable here. The menu is at below!

$150 per person includes four course menu and four LALO cocktails

Does not include tax or gratuity

“Eduardo “Lalo” González and David “R” Carballido have been friends since childhood. They grew up not too far apart in Guadalajara, the capital of Mexico’s famed Jalisco region where tequila was born.

Lalo’s father and grandfather were famed Mexican tequila makers, and David has spent his career working with Mexico’s top tequila producers. A toast at a family wedding with a specially made tequila blanco set the stage for what would unfold next.

This particular tequila blanco was made in the time-honored style of their storied ancestors, with three simple ingredients and nothing else. It became the talk of the town — and of all our friends.

So Lalo and David decided to create the purest expression of tequila and share it with the world. This means producing only tequila blanco purely crafted for a clean taste, with only three ingredients and no aging process to mask the natural flavor. They begin by using deep well water drawn from the heart of Jalisco. To facilitate the fermentation process, champagne yeast was selected to bring out the best in our fully-mature Highland agave.”

Chef Gabriel’s mother, Veronica Chavez, is hosting her very own chef’s dinner! Many of the dishes you know and love come from her. And now, she has a LIMITED EDITION mezcal in her honor. We are taking this opportunity to showcase her menu and toast her drink!

Join us for a multi course “Mama Chavez” Mexican dinner, each with a mezcal pairing (curated by Hugo) and take home a bottle of ultra special Dona Vera Mezcal.
