Mezcal Taberna Mexicana Restaurant

Honestly, the food here was excellent. I was impressed. After growing up in California, it is very difficult to find really good Mexican food. Currently I live on Long Island and came down for a recruiting visit and this place doesn't compare to any place on Long Island with quality, authenticity, and price. The rice was actually Mexican rice and is how it should taste/look, which trust me is very hard to find. I ordered the Chile poblano "Chile Relleno" and it was incredible. Kind of felt at home in Cali with this surprisingly very good Mexican food. If you haven't tried this place, I highly recommend you do. And the service was excellent. Everyone was very friendly and the food came out quickly. Hope this review helps everyone!

One of our favorite downtown restaurants. Service and food are great. We love Manuel. He is the best bartender and server. Great place also to take the pups and sit outside.

Lovely, bright and clean restaurant with booths and tables and full bar. Our server was so nice and attentive. The salsa was flavorful (medium heat) everyone in our party liked it and chips were crunchy and fresh. The tropical salad was amazing!

Stopped by here for a late lunch and I was a little concerned that I was the only one in the whole restaurant. However my server was so sweet and attentive and I got a nice table outside since the weather was fantastic. I got a beer and the fajitas. Both were great and it will allow me for some leftovers as always. I love the location of this spot as it was pretty close to the town with east parking. I'd come back for sure!

I've been here a few times before but this was the first time I remembered to take pics. Stopped in for a solo lunch and grabbed one of the remaining seats at the bar. Service was quick and attentive and my order was taken shortly after arrival. While waiting on my meal, I munched on some tasty chips and salsa. Shortly after the chips, my order of elote arrived as an appetizer. It was good and fresh but I was hoping for a little char to give the flavor a boost. My entree, Pollo Yucatán, came soon after. It's grilled chicken breast, with sautéed onions, topped with grilled jumbo shrimp. Served with rice, lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes. The chicken was quite thinly sliced and a little over cooked but tasty. The shrimp was seasoned well. I didn't eat the rice because I had the corn but it looked the part. I'll likely be back on my next visit to try more.

Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Staff works hard to prepare tasty meals and a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Usually I find one thing and stick to it but in this case I am working through the menu to try as many things as possible. Fajitas are a solid win as are the enchiladas and burritos. The chicken tortilla soup is delicious and a favorite when I am feeling under the weather. Manuel is constantly in motion taking care of customers, making sure that they enjoy the meal or getting them something more to their liking. Price, portion and quality are all better than most. Restaurant is clean and cost when they aren't slammed by customers. Highly recommended, if you're in the area and want Mexican food, this is the place.
