Wanted to try it out after driving past it a few hundred times!!! The staff were very friendly, the place itself was decorated beautifully. The drinks were big, strong, and tasted great! The food was absolutely phenomenal. I was stuffed leaving there, my only regret was i couldn't finish my meal!!!! Definitely recommend and will be going back again and again. A+++

The food is way overpriced. The wait for everything was a little long also. The drinks are good and strong

The food was delicious. The atmosphere was incredible. Very clean and highly decorated in Mexican colors. Couldn't ask for better wait service. 4 severs handled the table. Made you feel like you were the only person there. It was packed

I cannot say enough good things about la mezcalita. The food, drinks, and desert were a hit! I highly recommend the Monterey fajitas they were the best I ever had ! You will not be disappointed just come here to have great food and a better time.

My son and I had a fabulous lunch today, but warning to everyone the mole was super spicy! That meant super good, but if you're not prepared to sweat then order the fajitas!

On a Saturday night, this place is THE local spot to come and enjoy music, friendship, and fun! A buddy said this place was full of cougars, but I didnt see any so I doubt that warning is needed; and there's not much chance of getting mauled. (Maybe they can get a game warden to swing by... for safety... who can say?)

So I ordered chimichanga with chicken. cery very bland and dry it is served with nothing drizzled on it the rice did not taste authentic. i make better spanish rice. the beans are mush. no flavor at all

i never got asked if i needed anything i had to track them down. they need to assign a person to you because they all must think someone else is helping you when in fact no one is.

when a girl came past i asked for dessert menu and she left it and never came back i waited ten minutes and then just paid and left

its a no for me and its a shame because im only a few mikes from there

We had a great experience at this Mexican restaurant. For appetizers, we ordered the Tostones Kabob, and for mains my wife chose the Mexico City Tacos while I had the Tacos de Birria. Everything was very tasty, and the portions were generous.

The waiter was friendly and gave helpful suggestions with our order. I also want to highlight the atmosphere—it felt very welcoming. The tables were clean (not sticky, which I really appreciate), and they even brought us free nachos with salsa while we waited for our food.

Overall, great food, big portions, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Definitely a place worth coming back to!

I live in Budd Lake but have never gone to this establishment. I saw the 4.6 star Google review & thought I'd give it a try. I went there for lunch. The restaurant was very clean & inviting. All the staff greeted me warmly. My waiter was very polite & professional. I ordered the guacamole, ceveche & lemonade. I'm very picky about all of these items & I wasn't disappointed. All were fresh & delicious. The portions were great. There was enough to take home for dinner. I took home the flan but haven't tried it out yet. I'll definitely go back for dinner. If you're a Mexican food fan & you live in the area, you gotta try out this restaurant.
