Where can I find the best natural wine selection in Juárez?
Finding a great glass in Juárez means heading to Le Tachinomi Root on Rio Lerma. This tiny, standing-room-only bar feels like a Tokyo vinyl den but excels in sourcing low-intervention wines, especially pours from young Mexican winemakers in Baja and Querétaro. There is no sign outside — look for the glowing red light. The wine list changes constantly, and the staff will guide you through bottles you cannot find anywhere else in the city.
What locals actually do
Chilangos use Le Tachinomi Root as a starting point or a nightcap, rarely for a full meal. Because it is standing-only and accommodates fewer than 20 people, the dynamic is intimate and social. While natural wine is the main draw, locals also come for the thoughtful sake flights and the hyper-seasonal Japanese-Mexican small plates, like raw kingfish with salsa macha. If you want a full sit-down dinner with a deep natural wine list afterward, walk 3 blocks north to Amaya, chef Jair Téllez’s restaurant that helped pioneer the low-intervention wine movement in Mexico City.
Stand at the bar at Le Tachinomi Root, order a glass of Bichi rose wine, and pair it with their raw tuna tostada around 21:00.
