BEST Tequila to buy in Ensenada????

[SakeDad]

Going to Ensenada and the ONLY duty-free alcohol I'd like is some really great Tequila. Do you have any suggestions to brands and where to buy in Ensenada? Thanks!!!

There are many liquor stores on the main street in Ensenada. Tequila comes in all prices. The more expensive is for sipping. It depends on how much you want to spend and how much knowledge you have of the product. I will say that some of the bottles can make them collectors as they are very attractive. Prices from $10- $500 and more .:)

My favorite is Don Julio. Make sure you get the 100% agave.

YES! Don Julio in the squat round, brown bottle.

Other favorites of mine is Heradura and Tres Generaciones. These are all "top shelf" tequilas and won't be cheap (as in the rot-gut Jose Quervo); which I thought was pretty good - until my first trip to Mexico (Manzanillo), and got to taste what good tequila really tastes like.

The tequilas mentioned in the above post can all be purchased in the USA.Probably for less money.:cool:

Well, I'm going to go to the discount liquor store here and check all the prices, then I'll know if it's a good deal down there or not. I'll let you all know what I discover.

Make sure you look at the labels so you are comparing apples-to-apples rather than just price. Make sure the bottle has "100% agave" or "100% blue agave" on the label. Any real tequila that is not crystal clear will have "reposado" or "anejo" on the label.

I usually go to the Giante Supermarket that is just off the main shopping road to get my booze. They tend to be cheaper than the liquor stores on the main road. They have a pretty good selection of Tequila and other things like bottled water and soda. KY

I agree. I always check out this market. They have everything. Also, if you are lucky, the liquor lady will be there with her booth. Once a week, a tequila distributor comes and sets up a booth with all kinds of great tastes. You can get drunk for free at the market and never have to subject yourself to Papas and Beer!

Hi everyone! Can someone tell me how to get to Giante Supermarket? I will be in Ensenada in July on the Monarch and wanted to check out the Tequila prices. Thanks in advance.
