Mezcali Mexican Restaurant

I just returned to Mezcali for lunch. I had chicken chimichanga and husband had chorizo taco….muy bien!!!! Food very hot coming out of kitchen. Menu has great lunch specials. Service still great. This restaurant is a keeper. Mezcali just opened in the Food Lion Plaza off Gilead Road. We had lunch there and I believe with a few tweaks in the food, this restaurant could be a winner. Service great, restaurant really clean, the spicy salsa…really spicy. The regular salsa…good. The food was very tasty…I wish it would have been hotter. Too much cheese in chili Relleno but that could be personal preference. I look forward to going back and trying margaritas. I hope it’s freshly made. Worth going to this restaurant. I hope they make it!

Excellent! Not the best Mexican food I've ever had but very very good.

Did an order to go….The service is fantastic. The staff is super sweet and extremely attentive.

Restaurant itself was clean, bright and inviting. They did reuse the prior restaurant fixtures. However. They are all freshened. Paint, vinyls, table surfaces. All nice and clean.

Food. They have good flavors. Actually really good flavors. My fajitas were chicken mixed with steak. The meat flavor was great. The peppers and onions were super fresh. They forgot my flour tortillas.

Chips were nice fresh and again good flavor. Two salsas….chunky is very hot.

Burrito was tasty but wet…really wet. Had to eat with knife and fork.

Prices were acceptable. $30 plus tip for two without alcohol.

Wow, the food was way more than I ever expected. The place was completely remodeled from the last Mexican joint that was here as well as the menu. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here you never will anywhere else. Wife’s burrito was enormous and the Ultimate Dinner I ordered filled the plate and my belly! Really appreciated the flavor and spices. Guaranteed that we will be back soon!

We were long fans of chicos, and now there is an even better place to pick up the mantle! With good drink deals, awesome food and friendly staff this place is worth a visit! The asada and carnitas were so good we forgot to take pictures before we started eating. Salsa and chips are fresh, too. Met an owner john who was super nice and our server estaphanie was very attentive. Even the bar tender had great energy and suggestions. Can't wait to come back!
