MEZ Contemporary Mexican

I've been to RTP once a year for the last three years. I've stopped into Mez each time. The food, service, and atmosphere have always been great.This time I had a fresh handmade margarita and chicken fajitas. Everything turned out excellent.

Tried Mez for our Friday new restaurant. The menu looked reasonable promising, with some basic TexMex options. When we arrived the parking lot was busy, but the space is huge and was scantly occupied. We ordered drinks, I had the blackberry Mojito, it was bland, weak and seemingly absent of blackberry flavor. The chips/salsa/queso were just ok. We ordered a burrito and the mole enchiladas, and they were underwhelming. The mole tasted as if it hadn't been cooked long enough, too sweet with a strange aftertaste. The burrito was small, with too little chicken tinga and too much rice/beans. Flavors were middling. Our service was ok, if a little slow and disorganized. The ambience is ok, but the space is huge, and not particularly comfortable. There are much better options for Mexican in the triangle, it appears time and complacency have rendered Mez an unnecessary redundancy.

This was my first time eating at Mez. We had a company lunch 20+ people and they were able to accommodate us. Our server was very friendly, and prompt. We never had to ask for any refills he was always on top of it. The food was delicious and portions are large. Entire group was happy with the meals. I would definitely consider coming back here for another work event.

Haven't been here in a while. Met a friend for lunch, since it's halfway between us. While the parking lot is always full at lunch, that doesn't translate to being crowded inside. We were seated immediately at 12:15 without reservations. We were brought chips and chose one of the salsas, (traditional Mexican Corn salsa - fresh and tasty, but not very spicy. This will become a theme.)My friend had not dined here before and decided on a trio of street tacos with steak. I choose the carne asada tacos. They arrived quickly, three per plate, open-faced.The ingredients seemed fresh, but there was a distinct lack of flavor. We swapped out one each so that we could both taste the other's, and I found the same thing: they were just bland. Plus, the tostadas were flimsy and seemed not able to stay together enough to get the fillings to your mouth. Allen, our waiter, brought hot sauce and salt on request, but neither could really give these tacos any heat. I was very disappointed, and I think my friend now thinks I have poor taste in food.More "Meh" than "Mez". I'll try again, but it was disappointing.

Amazing meal with great service. Our server was covering bother the bar and bar area booths and did an amazing job. I believe her name was Hailey. Very comfortable space, great food, reasonable drink prices. Can't wait to go back.

I went to an alumni event at Mez recently, and had a great time. We had a food buffet, and I especially enjoyed their salmon and roasted vegetables. The space worked out really well, too. I've been to Mez a couple of times before, pre-pandemic. I'm surprised I didn't review before, but I do remember positive experiences before.

It had been a long while since I had been to Mez, but I recall it being much better. The food was tasteless and overall just blah. The service was good, no issues there at all. I wouldn't recommend it to others.

I made a reservation online for our anniversary and called to make sure we could eat outside on the patio. They had a table for 2 waiting for us when we arrived. If was pretty busy inside and outside on a Thursday evening. You could tell our server was super busy, we didn't mind since we were in no rush. All of the food was tasty. We had the salsa trio to start. The tomatillo salsa was so good and my favorite. I don't regularly order margaritas but I got a strawberry one on special that was good. I had grilled chicken fajitas for dinner. These were good, but some of the chicken seemed a little over cooked. My husband had the salmon over some type of lentils and he said it was amazing! We finished off our meal with Tres Leches which was amazing!Our server brought us the wrong bill, which was at least less than half of what we owed. We let him know and he quickly fixed it, but this just reinforced that they were super busy and rushing around. He apologized a few times, and we let him know it really wasn't an issue. Just a reminder to be nice to restaurant staff, many are struggling right now.

Wow! What a great dinner location! Ruby (our server) was fantastic, so personable and made our experience 100/10. Great drinks and unique food!

The steak tacos are not good tasted like food prepared in a crockpot , this place use to be better , margarita was full of ice bet little drink , the restaurant was pretty empty, I won't return
