History

Cuishe (or Cuixe) is a wild agave plant that originates from the Karwinskii family and includes Madre-cuishe and Barril. It is often slightly smaller than Madre-cuishe and yields intensely flavored mezcal with high minerality and spicy notes.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Cuishe is a locally crafted Mexican culinary experience. Cuishe redefines the flavors of Central Mexican regions like San Luis Potosi, Jalisco, Veracruz, Mexico City and more. We would like to invite you to discover Central Mexico by delivering native flavors through our recipes, beverages and an intricately cured wine list. We focus on providing a full array of Mezcal and Tequilas from a wide variety of agaves. Cuishe introduces “Mexologia”, a unique way of incorporating traditional Mexican heritage and flavors into our spirits and cocktails Menu.
