The food and drinks taste amazing! The initial feel and vibes were awesome. The reason I gave three stars is because the bartender was extremely rude to my friends and I. I don’t want to drop her name, but after interacting with her, it really brought the mood down for the rest of the evening. I understand people can have bad days and can take it out on customers, but she was rude to three people in my group three separate times. That’s just not how you do high quality customer service.

Mezcal Mexican Cantina was a great experience with amazing flavors in every bite. We ordered the pollo taco, bistec taco, and carne asada taco, and each one was excellent. The meat was tender, moist, and packed with flavor. Every bite tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. The street corn was also delicious and definitely something I would recommend trying. It had great flavor and paired perfectly with the tacos. One of the highlights was the Nachos Libre, which were absolutely amazing. The portion was generous and loaded with toppings, making it a great dish to share. The service made the experience even better. Our waitress was attentive and helpful with recommendations that turned out to be spot on. I believe her name was Andreana (I apologize if I got that wrong), but we truly appreciated her great service and guidance on what to try. Overall, it was a fantastic meal with flavorful dishes and great service. Definitely a place worth visiting if you’re in the area.
