Review by Hollis Hintz

September 20, 2024

Mezcal Restaurant is a cozy little gem with some outstanding Oaxacan flavors! 🌮 We tried the tamales steamed in banana leaves - a fragrant twist on a classic! The mole was a deep, rich delight, perfectly complementing our meal.

The atmosphere is trendy and welcoming, making it ideal for families or groups. I especially loved the enchiladas suizas, bursting with flavor. Just a heads-up, the tables might be a bit low for taller diners. Despite a slight reservation mishap, the fast service and delicious margaritas won us over! Can’t wait to return...
