    There's magic in Mezcal's off-hours, when it's just a quiet little neighborhood spot for simple, traditional Tijuana street food in a comfy-funky atmosphere. Read more

    Great menu! Awesome tequila variety. Try the gran azul margarita, don't go with the house one, do so somewhere else. Come on taco Tuesday and have great platter of 5 tacos!

    Mezcal has an impressive 270 tequilas and mezcals, as well as over a dozen varieties of margaritas, including the smoky "Mezcalito" made with mezcal, lime, and orange liqueur.

    Everyone loves the duck confit tamal, but don't overlook the vegan tamal. Poblano peppers and caramelized onions stuffed in a steamed banana leaf.

    Best Brunch in Denver! $2 Bloody Mary Bar from 11 am to 3 pm. Great food too. I'm surprised they're not packed every weekend!

    They serve high end food for a low end price. I am a food snob and I highly recommend it. And while you're at it ask for Squirrel. She's their best server.

    Everything was awesome as usual! It was a problem with the 50% (up to $10), they couldn't put on our bill correctly.

    The vegan options are lacking some spice, stick with the guacamole though as it's heaven.

    Looks are deceiving, the only thing that was good was the Sprite!!! Not Mexican food, not Tex-Mex, more like fancy Taco Bell.

    Pay for chips? REALLY? The waiter looked at me like I had an eye in my forehead when I asked for a margarita blended...we only do rocks dude! Enchiladas horrible, but the carne asada tacos were good.
