Mezcal is just down the street from us and so we visit often. This makes me a perfect reviewer, because I have been able to gauge the restaurant's level of consistency - my review's based on many, many visits, not just one! We take all of our guests from out of town here, and on their return visits they always... more

I see that many here have posted that the food is authentic. I'm Mexican and I can tell you that while the menu is full of authentic food items it is NOT good. I have tried this place three times already but I have given up. I have tried the chicken mole, chile rellenos and a tilapia dinner plate and... more

Been there 3 or 4 times, friendly owner & helpful staff. I'm not a frequent margarita drinker, because too often they come from a mix: syrupy, too-sweet, vaguely chemical. NOT HERE!

Food was authentic Mexican and outstanding! Staff was very friendly and efficient, and the owner came out to visit with the patrons & make sure all was good. I will be back many times & recommend this place highly! more

I thought this was a really good authentic Mexican restaurant. The chips tasted homemade, and were correctly fried flour tortilla chips. The black bean salsa to go with it was delicious, as was the homemade mole. It's no longer BYO and their traditional margarita is one of the best I've had. more
