Food, service and ambiance was great! Will definitely be back! Food was fresh, service was fast and the our server was so friendly. Hard to find a restaurant that has all 3 of these things.

Food was decent I ordered take out that day. I am wishing I had the tacos in house because I had ordered the birria tacos. They needed some heat and they had gotten soft bc of the takeout box but they were really good. They had a nice strong beef flavor. I also got a chicken empanada and it was so tasty. I loved how savory it was. The service was decent but I had to go back inside bc they forgot my empanada. They were quick to get it to us and admit they made a mistake. The place looked cute from what I could tell although I didn't stay long.

What's not to love about Mezcal? Friendly and fast service, zippy cocktails, delicious food, and fun laidback atmosphere. Our waiter was very nice and checked in on us several times throughout our meal. As we were ordering, he input our order on his device and our Chips Trio came immediately! The guac was okay, but the queso really stole the show. I got the Ella Baila Solo, and the smokiness of the mezcal really showed through, while still balancing the other flavors of the cocktail. I was eating light that night, so I got the Mezcal Soup as my main. The chicken in it was a little dry but nicely shredded and the broth was super tasty. The menu was huge, so we're looking forward to coming back and trying something new!

We had the family dinner style where they bring out food to us. Chips and salsa were offered first, then beef tacos, followed by chicken tacos and pork tacos. We were very full by the time pork tacos came out and there were veggie tacos after which I could not eat anymore. All the tacos were delicious. Service was a bit slow maybe because we were such a large group. I will have to see this on another occasion. There also were desserts. Churros with vanilla icecream were very delicious! Everyone agreed churros were really tasty. Warm on the inside and crispy on the outside.

The restaurant has a modern Mexican vibe. Food great and the service is excellent. When they first opened the service time was very slow but I'm glad I did not experience that the second time around. The nachos are a must try!

Nice Mexican restaurant downtown. Very nice ambiance. The food was really good as was the service. Stopped here Thursday after 1 and it wasn't busy since it was after the lunch rush. I would definitely come back here. It's also right next to the parking garage downtown and across the street there's a parking lot you can park in for a small fee also. Which is a plus because sometimes parking can be a hassle downtown.

Excellent food and service here! We were seated and waited on promptly, even on a Saturday night. The birria tacos were perfect, with a rich flavorful broth to dip them in. I absolutely loved the Al Pastor taco with tender pork, pineapple, onions and cilantro. Probably one of my top favorite tacos now! All the food was flavorful, fresh, and nicely presented. The delicious margarita I had was almost too pretty to drink (but I did, haha) The drinks are excellent but pricey. I would have trimmed $30 off my bill without the two margaritas, and that's probably what I'll do the next time. As good as they were, I'd rather save the money. Nice atmosphere, with a cozy feel. Our server was excellent, and you can pay your check online, which I love because it speeds up the process. I'll be back :)

First, the food is super tasty and they have tamales which is not easy to find. Second, what a FUN place to go! They have dance classes, and it seemed to be free. It was lively, nice couples or singles just stop in to learn various Salsa dancing, etc! Tip: Make reservations if you are going on a weekend. Our wait was about 45 minutes, but it was a Friday night. We almost left but I am so glad we didn't. Everyone seemed to love their drinks, I had a delicious non/alcoholic Strawberry Margarita! The chips were homemade and the salsa was really good. The ambience was so fun, but you could enjoy a nice dinner with friends and still hear each other speak. I can't wait to go back with friends. We parked right in front of the Restaraunt, so very convenient. It was a fin time in the D!
