Their staple is chips with three types of salsas. Yummy

The waiter suggested the tamales which I ordered. They were light and tasty. The chicken one was topped with a tomatillo salsa which was not too spicy. The brisket tamale was topped with a Colorado sauce and both were drizzled with crema. They were unwrapped sitting on a bed of citrusy green rice. The brisket was a little muted in the sauce, but overall, it was a good recommendation.

Wow. All aspects of this restaurant knock it out of the park. Walk in to a beautiful, inviting interior, check the menu to see amazingly affordable prices (for what you get) and unique variety of menu options. The hot elote dip appetizer was one of a kind, and their chips are special too, they seemed freshly made. Our server Jorge P was incredibly knowledgeable on the menu and expertly explained anything we had a question about. Both of his suggestions (Picenha dish and the Tinga Enchiladas) were incredible. Unique flavors, beautiful preparations, not sure what else to say. This place takes no shortcuts. If you’re wondering whether to stop by, the answer is ALWAYS.

This is my second visit to Mez, and it wasn’t great. We felt not only rushed, but the restaurant was cold, which matched the temperature of our meals. They were warm at best.
We ordered a “fancy” margarita and received a water glass filled with ice…more ice than my actual water glass. The margarita was packed with ice. For $20, and being told it’s “fancy,” it’s not worth it. When we shared our thoughts with the manager, he was quick to provide an explanation of how it was measured properly, but no apologies for any misunderstanding or offering to make a new one in the moment. Instead, he came back to our table when our food was placed, and asked us in a passive aggressive tone if our food was satisfactory. At no point did anyone apologize or offer to make it right.
We were given to go containers within 5 minutes of receiving our meals. We will take the hint and not return.

This is my favorite fancy Mexican place in NC. Plenty of options and all of them I've tried are delicious. Wait staff is attentive, accommodating, and charming but not intrusive. Guacamole was outstanding.

Really enjoyed our group event at Mez. Drinks were great, appetizers were my favorite, and the service was amazing. This was a private event that was very memorable.
Quiet dim lit ambience. Very peaceful and easy to have a conversation. Service was fast and food was excellent.

Tried Mez tonight and I’ll be honest, I did not totally know what to expect from a “contemporary Mexican” restaurant. Maybe it just means it identifies as Mexican and keeps you on your toes.
First impression, the place is beautiful inside. It feels upscale without being stuffy. I’m already looking forward to eating on the patio when the weather improves.
Service was good and everything came out quickly. I ordered the steak fajitas and they were excellent, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and absolutely worth getting again.
A couple surprises: the fajitas did not come with beans or cheese, so I had to ask for a side. They brought black beans with cojita cheese, which was a solid save. Also, no complimentary chips and salsa. You have to order them, and you get three tiny cups of salsa… paired with enough chips to feed a small neighborhood. I guess for the price they had to splurge somewhere. Two of the salsas were great, one was not my thing.
Overall, excellent meal and good service. Shout-out to Roberto the bartender, he took great care of me. I’ll be back.
