" I’ve had better experiences at El MeZcal. While the environment is lovely and the service is often good, my recent meal left me unsatisfied. I ordered the shrimp tacos, expecting a burst of fresh flavors, but they tasted somewhat bland this time. The guacamole was great, though! I think I just picked the wrong dish—I’ll definitely give this restaurant another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to El MeZcal a couple of times now and the food never fails to impress. On my last visit, I tried the choriqueso dip and the flavors were just divine! It's rich, cheesy, and the chorizo was cooked to perfection. The chips that came with it were fresh and crispy. I can't wait to bring my friends here. Also, the margaritas are worth the hype! They are strong but well balanced. This is definitely a hidden gem in Defiance! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things about El MeZcal, I finally decided to pay a visit, and I was not disappointed! The ambiance is warm and inviting, perfect for a family dinner or a casual night out. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were fantastic—filled with fresh ingredients and served with a zesty salsa on the side. The staff was attentive without being overwhelming, and they ensured our drinks were always full. Overall, I would rate this dining experience a solid 5 out of 5 and I'm eager to return!

" Visited El MeZcal last week and was excited about trying their flan based on reviews. While the desserts lived up to the hype, I felt the core dish—my chicken taco salad—lacked flavor. It was a large portion and nicely plated, but seasoning felt absent. The staff was very courteous and checked in on us often, which was appreciated. I would recommend this place for trying desserts at least! " (*Curated Review*)

" Clearly, El MeZcal is doing something right. The food was fabulous, and the service was impeccable. As soon as we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. I tried the carne asada tacos and they were bursting with flavor. My fiancé enjoyed the shrimp quesadilla and just raved about it. Portions were satisfying and with reasonable prices. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my first visit to El MeZcal! I loved the vibrant atmosphere that set the mood. We started with the salsa and chips, which were fresh and crunchy. For my main dish, I had the fajitas - a mixture of steak, chicken, and shrimp. They were marvelous; full of flavor and very filling. The portion size was just right! I’ll definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I was in Defiance, I searched online for nearby Mexican restaurants and stumbled upon El MeZcal. Upon arriving, I appreciated the lively decor that truly embodies the essence of Mexican culture. I had their special quesadilla which was filled to the brim with cheese and flavorful vegetables. I loved how it came with a delightful salsa too! Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
