" If you're looking for authentic Oaxacan food, Mezcal is the place to go! I had their mole chicken and it was divine! The depth of flavor and the way they made the enchiladas—served unrolled with beautiful, rich sauce—was something I’d never seen before. I also appreciated the personalized service; our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. There’s something for everyone, including plenty of vegetarian options. Highly recommend treating yourself here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Mezcal was an interesting culinary adventure! I tried the mole enchiladas based on a friend's recommendation and they were rich in flavor. However, a few dishes did fall short, especially the tacos which I found to be a bit dry. The setting was cozy and perfect for a date night, but I did have to wait unusually long for my food. If you're searching for Oaxacan dishes, it's a unique experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic dinner at Mezcal! The atmosphere was vibrant and colorful, creating a perfect setting for a fun evening. I tried the tamales and was especially impressed by how they were prepared—steamed in banana leaves, which added such a lovely fragrance. The service was attentive, and the cocktails were incredibly refreshing and paired beautifully with the food. I would give it an overall rating of 5 stars for their effort in bringing authentic Oaxacan flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Mezcal for the first time and was excited to try their well-reviewed dishes. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I found the mole sauce overly sweet, and the chicken in the enchiladas was dried out. The service was also lacking—the wait staff seemed overwhelmed. However, the atmosphere is wonderful, bursting with color and warmth. I think they have potential if they focus on consistency in their food quality and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Mexican cuisine, I find myself picky about where I dine. Mezcal was a pleasant experience, but I felt the food could be elevated. My meal was tasty but not as authentic as I'd hoped. The atmosphere was nice, and I enjoyed the decor, but some aspects of service left me wishing for a little more attentiveness. Worth a visit if you are in the area, but there are other Mexican restaurants I prefer. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance is charming, my experience at Mezcal was marred by slow service and a few misses in the kitchen. Although the tacos al pastor were tasty with a good amount of toppings, my partner's dish was a letdown. They ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, which they found too sweet and lacking depth. The attention to details like service could use some improvement, as we often felt overlooked. I may come back for a drink, but I would think twice before ordering food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my birthday at Mezcal with friends, and we had a wonderful time! The vibrant atmosphere was the perfect backdrop for our celebration. I highly recommend the enchiladas with mole; they were a highlight of the evening! The service could have been faster as we had to flag down our waiter a few times, but they were friendly. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy some authentic Oaxacan dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
