I recently hit up an amazing Mexican restaurant in Durham, NC, and let me tell you, it was an absolute gem! From the moment we stepped inside, the vibrant decor set the perfect vibe--think colorful murals and cozy seating that made you feel right at home.We kicked things off with some fresh guacamole that was off the charts--creamy, zesty, and just the right amount of spice. It was the ultimate starter! Next, we dove into the elote, and wow, it was grilled to perfection. Each bite was bursting with flavor, and I couldn't get enough of that savory goodness.For the main event, I went for the arroz con pollo, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was so tender and packed with flavor, nestled on a bed of perfectly seasoned rice. My friend opted for the shrimp ceviche, which was a refreshing explosion of zesty flavors--definitely a taste of the coast!Overall, this place is a must-visit. The combination of fresh ingredients, killer flavors, and a super cool atmosphere made for an unforgettable dining experience. If you're in Durham and craving some authentic Mexican cuisine, do yourself a favor and check this spot out! Service is also excellent and paid close attention to us and helped us make some epic menu choices.

This place is your classic Mexican restaurant. Huge menu with really tasty items with portion sizes perfect for sharing. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed sitting outside. The tables are picnic tables so it was a little tall for me but other than that, great for large groups! Our waiter was attentive and was knowledgeable about the menu.The house margaritas was great! Very large so one drink was perfect for me! The glass is heavy so I had to use 2 hands to pick it up but the straw made it easier to drink.I enjoyed the enchiladas Suizas but subbed the chicken for beans and cheese. It was delicious! This isn't your authentic Mexican restaurant but definitely hits the spot when you're craving Mexican food. Overall, this place is great! Lots of vegetarian options as well!

Went to this place on a first date and was very pleased with this choice! The food was phenomenal! Well seasoned and delicious. The waiter was very helpful in helping me make a decision. I got the Carne Asada which I thought was cooked to my liking (medium rare) and was very filling. I couldn't even finish my meal. MyDate got the King Burrito which he let meTry and it was also pretty good although it's not something I would order for myself. One thing I loved about this spot were the many options for cocktails. They had a very creative variety of drinks. I opted for the Mangonada and it was massive but I finished the whole thing. If I had stayed longer I probably would've tried another drink but instead I will have to return with friends and try a few more.

This was our first time here and we were very impressed with the venue. Huge, expansive restaurant with a fun, colorful decor. We had the house margarita, which to be honest wasn't very flavorful. The hubby ordered the pineapple jalapeño one which was big and he enjoyed. We weren't planning to eat (it was 5pm) but ended up ordering the guacamole and the lime ceviche. The ceviche was also a very generous portion and tasted fresh. The service from our waiter was just ok but everyone else was very friendly. Cool space with lots of options, definitely recommend.

My coworkers and I went for a work lunch and it was perfect! The lunch menu has great options and great prices to match, I got the pescado tacos and it was light and flavorful. The music was great, service was even better - our server was very attentive. The only thing is they sat us near the fan in the patio part of the restaurant so it was a little chilly but other that it was great!

My friends and I went for an early lunch so we did not have to wait for a seat & our food came out quickly. Staff were welcoming & personable & our server made sure we had everything we needed. From the patio to the bar to the dining area - it is a total vibe! I liked the aesthetic & there are several photo opportunities throughout the restaurant. There are a ton of seating options for couples up to large groups. The food was phenomenal! We were craving Birria & tacos when we were in Durham so we searched for a place & decided on Mezcalito. Everything was exactly what we hoped for in terms of flavor & portions & we would recommend either dish.

This spot had great food, great vibes, and great drinks! I would definitely go back on another trip to the Durham area. The Birria tacos were so good both in the restaurant and as leftovers the next day. The drinks were strong, especially the mezcal old-fashioned which was my favorite.

I had been following Mezcalito on social media for a while and drooling over their gorgeous and elaborate cocktails, namely margaritas - my favorite! When a friend recommended it, I decided to go for dinner before a show at DPAC.I was a little worried about getting a table due to it being Friday night and its close proximity to the Durham Preforming Arts Center. This place is HUGE! We didn't have any wait for a table around 5:45. We were seated outside in the covered/heated patio. There is a bar out there, so I wouldn't say it's a true patio, but it fits the patio vibes. I really liked this area, but my only complaint was it was SO loud, like hard to hear the server and people at your table over the music. Speaking of server, ours was Pablo and he was GREAT! I know sometimes it can be hard to be extremely present on a patio, as the servers have to run to the bar, kitchen, and back to the patio, but Pablo did an awesome job. He was very personable and he went over the specials with us. He sold me on their Margarita flight which they had a new featured Margarita they called the Barbie. First of all, I love a flight of everything! It's so fun to sample, and the presentation on these drinks was completely Instagrammable. The fruit that was used to garnish was neatly cut and placed, and it was very fresh. They were fairly sweet, but they still packed a punch! They have so many fun flavors and options. I really enjoyed this, I can't wait to go back and try more!We ordered the chicken rolls as an appetizer and I really enjoyed these! 6 sizable rolls, this dish is perfect for sharing. The chicken was flavorful, the tortillas were perfectly crispy and the sauce was delightful! Chips and salsa were really fresh as well.I got the Tiras de carne as my entree. It was listed on the menu as Tiras de pollo, but they happily subbed the chicken for steak. This was DECADENT! The steak was nicely charred and paired with a chipotle sauce sent straight from sauce heaven. This came with rice and beans and tortillas - they have flour and corn, I chose corn! All food and drinks came out in a very timely manner with excellent presentation and temperature appropriate. Everything so so efficient and smooth, especially for such a huge place with a lot of moving parts. Portions were sizable and the drinks are so fun and delicious. .6 miles from DPAC!
