The Lopez family put their roots down in Southwest Detroit 30 years ago, but the roots that matter most are the ones that come from Mexico -- and what they make from it is something they can’t wait to share.

Toma Detroit is bringing the taste of tequila from the fields of Mexico to your glass in Corktown thanks to the Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest. Host Tati Amare spoke to the owners of Toma Detroit, Eddie Vargas and Tony Lopez, who are part of a group that competed in the Comerica Hatch Detroit Contest and won $50,000 to invest in their business. Toma Detroit is owned and ran by a group of five friends who came together to bring the real taste of tequila to Detroit and highlight their Latin heritage. Toma Detroit specializes in tequila, mezcal, and Latin food. Toma Detroit Tequila plans to open a tasting room in 2020 with a large selection of tequila and mezcal.
