This week we decided to try Mezcal for a late lunch. We have tried to dine here before on a Friday night but it was packed with a 1.5 hour wait. For a Saturday lunch at 2:00-2:30 it was still busy but we managed to walk in and grab a table for two.
There is a separate cocktail menu with some interesting mixed drinks but we stuck to our Collective Arts selection of draft beer. We were not adventurous to try some Tequila. The atmosphere is cozy with a long bar and mixed seating including some high and low tables and a few tables for two.
Taco selections are $6 each and Burritos are $9 each. Tacos are 3 for $15, but for lunch I only ordered two tacos. Dale had three! There are quite a few shareable dishes to start and we tried the Empanadas which look like miniature pockets with sweet potato inside. Very good! Served with sour cream and sprouts.
Tacos that we tried were the Squash & Kale, Cubano, Bang Bang Shrimp and the Monster Truck. My favorite was the Cubano with the ham and mustard. Really good! The tacos are served a bit different than at the Mule. Here they come out piled high on top of a double layer of soft taco shells. You need a fork to pick up all the yummy ingredients that get dropped....and you need a few napkins for the meal.
Totally recommend Mezcal but probably arrive when they open up for lunch or go for an early dinner to guarantee a spot. We loved everything we tried and want to go back and sample some of the other Tacos and shareable dishes.
