Dolores is a Mexican restaurant and bar in Bed-Stuy that describes itself as serving cocktails and comida chilanga, the food of Mexico City. The drinks lean on Mexican spirits and house ferments, with a Paloma finished with sumac, a Tepache Negroni Blanco built on mezcal and sotol, and a Mexican Espresso Martini on Pa'lante café rum, alongside guacamole, sopes and aguachile. There are no reservations, and weekend brunch runs from 11am.
