Expo Park mezcal bar Las Almas Rotas is the place to be for Dia de los Muertos. Los Nahuatlatos from San Antonio will perform, and there will be two pop-ups: an early one with Vaqueros Texas BBQ and a late-night pop-up out front from Revolver Taco Lounge. The Photo Wagon will record the night's festivities, and there are drink specials all night on Ilegal Mezcal and Espolon Tequila, along with ample mole and chocolate calaveras filled with mole mousse from CocoAndré Chocolatier. Come decked out in your Dia de los Muertos face paint or get your face painted on-site — there's even a tattooer in back if you're looking for something more permanent. Bring photos or offerings for your departed loved ones to add to the bar's ofrenda. No cover charge.
