About Our Partner 

Clavel was founded by Lane Harlan, Matthew Pierce, and Carlos Raba in the summer of 2015. Clavel is a minority- and family-owned taqueria and mezcaleria serving food deeply rooted in Sinaloan ritual and serving handmade corn and flour tortillas. The corn tortillas are nixtamalized in house from corn sourced from small producers in Oaxaca and Puebla, Mexico. Their mezcaleria honors agave distillates from the many states in Mexico. Clavel also offers Mexican sugar cane- and agave-based cocktails crafted collectively by the bar team, all of whom have been educated about palenques (distilleries) in Oaxaca and beyond. Clavel has been nominated in various categories by the James Beard Foundation five times.
