El Mezcal Mexican Restaurant

Fantastic food! I was overwhelmed by the flavors and rich seasonings, the service was great! The ambience was hopping with folks which means the food is awesome. The price is great for the amount of food you receive. This is the place for me to come back often.

We ate here for lunch. We were seated quickly, chips and salsa the minute we sat down. Food was amazing.Restaurant was clean, tables were clean. Now the Negative: so they have a guacamole cart that goes to every table, cool idea, we were served a good sized portion. So Im smart enough to know Guacamole is never complimentary, but there were no prices but a small sign that said " I work for tips"Ok no problem. But then when I got my bill it said fresh guacamole $9.99. The item is not even on the menu, just would of been nice if they were up front.But I still highly recommend this restaurant. 100 times better then the one in the center of mount dora. But -1 star for not being up front about the price.

I wanted to give it a try and met a friend for lunch this past weekend. It sure was a delicious! The restaurant is inside a plaza and there is plenty of inside seating and some outside seating. We were greeted right away and sat right away on a busy lunchtime rush. We got chips and salsa before we were even seated abd our server came right away to take our order. We had to tell him to give us some time since we had not looked at the menu yet from how fast service was! We ended ordering the same thing and it was our server's suggestion Camarones (shrimp) al Mezcal, they were delicious! They came with broccoli, spinach and a light cheese sauce with a small side salad and rice. Those came out pretty quick.The staff is friendly, attentive, taking care of tables on a busy time and checking on people often. We will definitely be back!

After attending a powwow my friends and I decided to head to El Mezcal on a recommendation of a friend who went there for lunch the prior day. Apparently this place is a hot spot to hang out and eat as when we got there they were busy inside and out but luckily they had a table that could sit all of us. We used the other entrance door and immediately sat down. The place was bumpin'...music, basketball game on over the bar, dozens of wait staff running around. Seems cool so far.I got the Perfect Margarita to drink (Hornitos, Grand Marnier, Amaretto, Sour Mix) while the others got water and tea. Yup, I ended up looking like the drunk. The drink was good. I needed to stir it up as all the liquor was on the bottom. It started to hit me fast so I ordered quickly. For food I chose the Enchiladas Chipotle (1 chicken, 1 beef, and 1 cheese enchilada, with melted chipotle cheese on top, rice, tomato, lettuce, sour cream). I ate their chips and salsa while waiting on my food and I really liked their salsa verde.The enchiladas were good but I think I should have gone with the tacos. My friend beside me got the Tacos Al Pastor and while they looked simple, they looked so much flavorful than my enchiladas. Maybe when I come down here next year I'll stop in and get them.

We were seated quickly as a party of seven. The decor was cool lots of paintings. The service was good but it took a few minutes to get the first round of drinks. We all ordered different items on the menu and everything was so tasty. We will be back.

Came here on a Friday evening. Sat down immediately. There's a table side guacamole cart going by if you want to order fresh guacamole. We didn't get any but thought it was pretty cool. We ordered some margaritas and beers which came out quickly. After we ordered food. Arroz con camarones and the steak torta. These came out super quick. Plates were nice and hot. Both plates were good. I also had a side of beans which was a humongous portion however they were not our favorite. This place was an overall good experience and we will return again

This place seems okay for family get together and Mexican food fix.It's decorated nice and the employees are nice. The place is clean and serves alcohol and has a big menu! Only thing it's kinda of weird to complain about but there is absolute no cell phone service there, which if ur eating alone can be annoying. Food: we'll have I had better? Yes I had worse? Yes.... This place is good for what you get and the price, is it the best Mexican food I have had? Nope but I would go back. I got the fish tacos which are okay.... Got the steak asada tacos which are ok.... Got the chills rellenos, that was terrible.My family got other stuff and enjoyed it.... I would go back.

My hubby and I wanted to try a different Mexican place so we decided to try here. The service was on point, the place was somewhat packed for a Sunday (which is a great sign) and the food was stellar! They also have combinations on their menu which the usual place doesn't have so my hubby is happy about that. As we were eating my hubby kept raving about how good this place was so it looks like we'll be making this our go-to spot now.

My Mexican dad said that this was the best Mexican place in the area so of course we had to drive the 40 minutes when I came to visit to check it out. The drinks are MASSIVE, alcoholic and non alcoholic alike. The horchata I got was the size of a German Beer boot. My mom got the mango margarita and while it was also huge, I wasn't that big of a fan. To eat I got the texicana fajitas which could easily feed 2-3 people. The shrimp was especially delicious, too good because it didn't leave room for dessert. My dad got the chori pollo and my mom got the carnitas.

Thought it could've been a ton better, my fajita burrito was all peppers and onions, the shrimp were undercooked and the flour tortilla fell apart immediately. The rice tasted like the yellow sazon packet. Nothing special at all.
