" Was very disappointed with the service at El Mezcal. The food took longer than expected, and our waitress seemed overwhelmed. When the food arrived, the tacos were cold, and the guacamole was lumpy. I usually love this place, but this time was not up to par. I might consider giving it another try later, but not immediately. " (*Curated Review*)

" The authentic flavors at El Mezcal never disappoint! My favorite is the mole sauce - it's simply divine. The service is friendly, and the environment is often lively with good music playing. Every visit has left me satisfied and craving more. I genuinely recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very average experience at El Mezcal. The food was decent but hardly memorable. The service was slightly lacking, as we waited a bit too long for our meals. Perhaps I just hit a bad night. Not sure if I’ll be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mezcal is where I go to satisfy my cravings for Mexican food! The tacos are amazing, especially the al pastor. My friends and I often share dishes, but we always leave full. The margaritas are top-notch and perfect for sharing. The vibrant decor and friendly staff make it a great place to enjoy a fun evening out. I highly recommend planning a visit! " (*Curated Review*)
