Mercado Del Mar in Popotla has a pretty awesome selection of every tequila there is (IMHO).

I'll vote for El Charro tequila. About 162 Pesos for a liter and the package comes with a 250 ml. bottle.
It is available at Licores Don Pisto in the Rosarito area. Calimax, and Commercial Mexicana grocery stores.
I'll also throw a vote for Kirkland silver, available both in the USA and Baja Costcos. Last I remember, it was REALLY reasonable.

This really is good stuff and the price for the quality is hard to beat.

I agree with you Shari about the taste... but the damn tall bottles!!! Have a couple shot and a couple doobies and somebody will knock it over and no
more Correlejo!

Correlejo is good, and second on the darn tall bottles. Used to love Chinaco for sipping but pricey and maybe not as good as it once was (or my
taste buds have gotten better). Eons ago our choice for the weekend Baja trip was a bottle of Orendain Anejo--came with a ceramic shotglass too--for
$3.50 it was pretty smooth. No idea what it costs now and probably not as good as I remember.

"La Catrina" Tequileria y Mezcaleria in the Soriana Hipermarket parking lot in Ensenada
Reforma and Delante - road heading south of town.
Same owner as Mercado Del Mar in Popotla. The Ensenada store doesnt have as good as a selection as the Popotla store, but honestly that would almost
be impossible to duplicate.
I've never seen a better collection of tequilas than Mercado Del Mar on both sides of the border. Id bet you would have to go to Jalisco to find
something comparable. Don Blas, the owner, is a great resource and can recommend to you something for your specific tastes.
---
Low cost mixing blanco - Purasangre Blanco Liter bottle. Something like $200 pesos. Best deal in town.
Best "blow your socks off" Blanco - Tapatio 110 proof
Best sipping Blanco for non tequila drinkers - Clase Azul, but not cheap
====
Great place in TJ for tequila and all spirits is La Playa chain's Tijuana store on Paseo de Los Heroes. Mexican version of Bevmo.

Triple dittos on Corralejo. It'll run about $24 (u.s.) a bottle in Baja, is $46 here in the States. A fine sipping tequila, I won't even put it on
ice. Buy the blue bottle, don't waste your money on the red one. Also a good tequila WILL spoil, so use in a timely fashion. If you want to mix or
do 'shooters' buy a cheaper brand.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Shari,
Thanks. Are the Super Ley markets all around Baja or is there a better place to get tequila? Mercardo or ????
