Our first time dining at El Mescal was nothing short of stellar. The atmosphere, the friendly staff, the amazing food. What an experience! Our very picky 5 year old asked “Can we go there again?” So you know it’s that good! Our server, Pablo, made us feel welcome and was attentive during our meal. He made sure we were happy with our food and kept our beverages topped off. The wife loved her Burrito Mescal and I had some of the best shrimp tacos. Aforementioned picky eater...

Ordered take out. The chicken enchiladas were very good, they had lots of flavor. The rice was undercooked and very crunchy, not good at all. And they also forgot to give me my drink that I ordered and I didn’t realize until I had already driven away. Maybe this was a one time issue, so try at your own risk.
