Mezcal Cantina

My husband and I came in 4 days ago. The food was ok, we bot had the skirt steak tacos and shared bean dip with cheese. The 2 for 1 margaritas were ok. The days that followed with gastrointestinal cramps, gas, and feeling to so good were pure hell. I don’t think I need to say it but will… WE WILL NEVER GO BACK!

Had dinner there the other night and the food was delicious! Very large portions so keep that in mind, I can never get close to finishing some of these meals. Our server Salvador was very personable and gave great service. The Margaritas were good, you could actually taste tequila. We will definitely be back.

Best authentic ceviche in town hands down. Authentic Mexican food and good service.

Mexican is my favorite food, so maybe my five stars is bias. Or maybe that shows the authenticity and amazingness of the place. This is now my second favorite location for Mexican food. (My first is Los Portales.) I’ve been here twice. Once late night after a comedy show for a beer and a chicken quesadilla. We came in thirty minutes before closing, so I was nervous about the welcome we would receive. Well, the staff is really nice! We weren’t rushed or anything like that.
Today we gave them a try for Taco Tuesday. If you ignore my mom’s margarita and our appetizer, we spent under $ 20 for 4 people to have lunch. 99cent tacos! $ 1.50 for my Miller Lite. The tacos were super simple, but that’s what I would expect for an authentic 99cent taco. The menu is huge! You should be able to find something you like on it. We also got a Mezcal Sampler appetizer. It was huge for the $ 10 something it cost.
My favorite were the beef tacos, but the chicken ones were really good too. Ma liked her watermelon margarita. It was $ 10.25 which turned me off, but she claims it was worth it.
I’ll be a new regular here. :)

Very busy but food and service was excellent !!! Prices are reasonable… one of the better Mexican Rest in the Area

Ate here for dinner this evening with another couple, two dishes were okay and two were horrible. In particular the carne asada was paper thin and burnt. Service was extremely slow, took 45 minutes to get our meals and only managed a couple of rounds of drinks in the two hours we were there. No surprise the waitor became prompt when it came time to pick up the signed check. Restaurant was not busy and the full chip basket that was dropped on the floor when we arrived remained for the duration. We wont be back.

The first two visits to Mezcal were very good. Thought it was a good restaurant but I was wrong. Went to dollar taco night this week and it was horrible. The beef and chicken were TOTALLY tasteless. No flavor at all, nothing. The Mexican rice had a weird color and was bland, no taste at all. The place was alittle busy but the service was super slow. Our waiter didn’t care about us at all. It’s a shame that the place has become below average. We won’t be back.

This restaurant is okay, but honestly the food was bland without much flare.
The restaurant is clean and bright with a huge bar — Probably a great place for happy hour! We ate a late lunch, so the place was dead, besides one other couple at a table & another family who came in mid-​way through our meal.
The server was really nice and the service was perfect. The chips were thicker than other Mexican restaurants, which I liked. I ordered a SUPER lunch which had one of seemingly everything — It was served on multiple plates (Go big or go home!). I could only eat a portion of the meal, but it didn’t matter because it all tasted the same. There was nothing wrong with the food — it was presented as expected & fresh-​tasting — but my YUMMY lights & sirens were not going off with each bite.
I likely won’t be back because there are so many other meal options in this area, but I’m glad that I tried it.

We went because I had a $ 3 coupon, but found out we can’t use it because I ordered a margarita and it was Monday… so had to choose between my coupon OR the 2 for 1 margarita. Ok that’s fine… chips were not my fav… too thick for my taste. (And deep fried it seemed) salsa was fresh and had great ingredients. But good salsa is no good with bad chips. House Margarita was $ 6.25! That’s a lot to me for jose cuervo. Kids meals were $ 5.99, too much for 1 taco, rice and beans so had them order off a la carte menu. I ordered just the Chile relleno, for $ 3.25…very good but obviously more of an appetizer or side dish. Hubby rates it a 3.5−4 stars… he enjoyed his combo plate of beef burrito and beef enchilada with rice /​beans. $ 8.50. Fun, clean atmosphere. Nice employees for sure… attentive, sweet. Just a little too pricey for Mexican food that is just average Mexican food. Was hoping for a slightly higher caliber at least since the building is very nice and large.

Greeted with a smile with staff very friendly and efficient chips and salsa immediately
They just came out beautifully smoking hot and delicious
Enjoying my meal tremendously
Looking forward to another visit

Always been good. Service can be slow, very so. but much better options then most Mexican. I just want to pay and leave, but dont see any servers anywhere. This three star can go to a the longer I wait. Most places do not give you pork options, Which is the best.

Not sure why the previous 2 stars for Mcantina. The Tomales are the best I’ve ever had. Chips and salsa were awsome and hot. Service was great. We will be back.

When I think of a meal at a Mexican restaurant, I think of fun atmosphere with quick and good food.
This experience was absolutely none of those things.
Let’s start with walking in the door. Hey hostess lady, maybe you’re having a bad night. Ok. Fine. But could you at least pretend that you’re the least bit pleased that we chose to dine at your establishment? No? Fine. Just throw the menus down on the table and walk away. No problem.
And then we wait. And wait. And wait. Finally, after six or seven various employees walk by, look at us, and then continue walking, a waiter sheepishly approaches the table and asks, «has anyone been to your table yet?» Sure Mr. Wizard, we ordered, ate, and were just waiting for our check!
No. Remained calm. Ordered two beers and the fajitas. Easy order right? They must make a lot of fajitas at a Mexican restaurant so should be able to get it out in a reasonable amount of time right? Right?
Wrong.
We sat down at 8:00 pm. At 9:15 there was no sign. Of anything. Waiter came by 1 or 2 times to tell us that he was checking on the food. That it would be out soon. That he had some nice beachfront property in Kansas to sell us. It didn’t matter what he told us. THERE.WAS.NO.FOOD.
Finally asked to speak to the manager. Some 12 year old kid came out and was very apologetic. Told us that it would be just 5 more minutes. We told him we were pretty skeptical. This asshat had the balls to them say, «well if you’re willing to stay, the waiter MAY give you a discount on your food.» Seriously? We’re rapidly approaching an hour and a half of waiting for some fajitas and we «may get a discount?»
We gave it five more minutes. Then five more. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
So we threw ten bucks on the table and walked out. How’s the food? Who knows? I could have flown to Mexico and had a meal quicker than this. If you do decide to go, and I would have to question your sanity for making that decision, pack a lunch, you may get a little hungry while you wait. Forever.

Not impressed weird rude lady bartender, terrible drinks and stale chips started the meal then went further downhill from there… A lot of staff but no one working it was a terrible place — dirty too

Went to late lunch mid-​week with spouse. Décor was nice — the typical bright colors of an authentic Mexican restaurant. We were seated immediately. Even though there were only a couple other tables of patrons service was slow. Not crazy slow, but slow. The salsa that came with the chips was good but seemed watery. The menu font and size was not the easiest to read. Menu appearance should be redesigned. We had the vegetarian quesadilla and chicken fajita. Both were tasty dishes and well portioned. Price for the amount of food was great. Overall a good experience and will try again.

The chips may not have been fresh and the service was ok, but the food was really good. The menu is very broad compared to most Mexican restaurants and I’d put the quality up there with Cantino Laredo.

We gave this place a try because we thought the wait would be a shorter wait than the other restaurants in the complex. 10 – 15 minutes to get a table, not bad, and an hour later we were finally eating. In all it took us 2 hours from walking in to walking out. Soooo slooooooow.
If you’re looking for real Mexican food versus the typical gringo style, keep on looking. My wife got Shrimp Diablo which tasted exactly like Frank’s red hot sauce with rice and beens on the side. I had the burrito loco, which was ok, but the plate was super hot unlike the burrito. All the other plates were just as hot while the food was just as not.
Overall not impressed at all and will not be going back.

Kind of disappointed. Started with the chips. They weren’t fresh. Perhaps from a bag?
Food was just ok. Prices were decent for a Sunday lunch. Maybe I’ll try it again sometime.

I have read the reviews and even been to the restaurant at the beaches. I like the one at the beach. This place is cool I really like the beam work inside but it was done by a friend of mine for the previous occupant. The service was a little slow today at lunch. The food however was really good. I also liked the salsa it tasted fresh and I can tell. I have made a few buckets of salsa in my days. I did order a Mexican Pizza with steak today. It came out good and hot with plenty of tender steak pieces. Now this isn’t your pick um up pizza this is a very light and crispy crust. It is almost like a crispy thin calzone. There was beans, peppers, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, steak, and what looked like a mountain of cheese. I really did enjoy the food but I was almost to full to go back to work. Thank God I own the company and I could go slow after lucj here.

Evening out with friends and decided to try this restaurant. I ordered hard taco with beef which came only with beef lettuce and cheese so asked for sour cream and guacamole. I got a soft taco. My friend ordered soft beef taco and rice and got a chicken taco. Now the side of guacamole was no bigger than a shot glass but sufficient amount to add to my taco. When I got the bill I was over charged for the taco charged 4.99 just for the small amount of guacamole and charged for the rice my friend ordered. Btw the cost of the guacamole was more than cost of a taco. It was overwhelming consensus to NOT return to this establishment
