I love this spot! Only issue is parking. Food was flavorful and the prices were reasonable. Wonderful lunch specials. I look forward to eating here again and trying some different things. I had the shrimp fajitas and they were scrumptious. Very excited about Mezcalito!

Antonio was the best server my family has encountered in a very long time. Today was our first trip to Mezcalito, but it will definitely be the first of many, many returns. We loved the Enchiladas Mezcalito, the coffee and coconut flans, and the lively and fun ambience. Not to be missed! And ask for Antonio!
