" My experience at Mezcal was decent but did not quite meet my expectations based on the reviews I read prior. The appetizers, particularly the guacamole, were pleasing in terms of freshness. However, my main dish lacked the expected punch of flavors—my enchiladas were well presented but somewhat bland. The atmosphere is lively; however, it can get a bit noisy especially during busy hours. Despite my main dish, I think the restaurant's commitment to authentic ingredients deserves commendation. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard so many great things about Mezcal, but I left a bit underwhelmed after my visit. The flavors presented in my dish were somewhat lacking, and while the atmosphere is designed well, I expected it to have the same level of creativity as their food. Service was average and the noise level was quite high too. Sadly, I’d need more convincing before I returned. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes going into my visit at Mezcal. The food was fresh, but I found it to be lacking the authentic flavors I was hoping for. However, the guacamole was fresh and vibrant, making it enjoyable. The service staff was kind and accommodating. The atmosphere was lovely, but the food experience didn't quite live up to my expectations. It may have just been an off day for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first thing that captured my attention when entering Mezcal was the stunning mural artwork on the walls. It gave such a warm and inviting vibe! I ordered the tlayuda with chorizo, and I found it to be flavorful and satisfying. It came with a nice side of fresh salsa, which complimented the dish beautifully. The service was attentive, and I am looking forward to returning and trying more authentic dishes on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Mezcal after hearing about it. The atmosphere is vibrant and filled with pretty art, making it a great spot for friends. I ordered the enchiladas and thought they were good but perhaps a little overpriced for what they are. The service was okay, a bit rushed due to the busy dinner crowd. Overall, I think the experience was enjoyable but I might try something different next time. " (*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*)
