We couldn't help stopping here. They had 1/2 price apps from 4pm to 6m. 1 word: DELICIOSO the nachos have beef and chicken, not greasy at all. Perfect for about 2-3 peopleWe also ordered a steak quesadilla... wow the meat was seasoned just right.We ordered the aguas freacas - horchata. It was very sweet and well worth it ... and you get free refills... not a lot of places do that for the aguas frescas.Service was awesome. Our mesero or server was excellent. Super accommodating and we were outside and even the cook came out and asked if everything was good.The place is nice inside but we loved being outside for the atmosphere and the music is varied not all one genre.Loved it!!!!

Wish I could give a 3,5 -- First the staff (Daniel) are very good. Knowledgeable of the menu and good recommendations. And very engaging and responsive. Food: Con Queso with Chorizo took me back to my childhood. This was the chorizo we used to cook at home. Tasty! Ordered the fajitas - meh the steak was a little tough maybe it was cut. Charro beans are black beans not pinto soup beans and I'm sorry but they tasted tlike canned black beans. But the Rice was like we made at home GOOD!! If you like spicy order chili de árbol. It's disappointing they charge you for it but it's worth the extra cost. Margaritas! The house marg with flavor are good enough. Jalapeño Marg is fresh and Great! Tried La Flor (don't order) but the Qaxacanite very good! If I come back it will be for the cocktails and queso. Maybe I'll try the Mojarra Frita or Molcajete Cabo! Oh and the MUSIC is great, it's a good mix of Mexican and Tejano.

Mezcal Cantina almost earned 5 stars from me if it weren't for a few mishaps that took place during my visit. There's a lot to love about this spot! I really enjoyed the food and will definitely be back to try more items on of the menu. However, a few service mishaps kept it from being a wonderful experience. Here's my breakdown of my experience: EnvironmentIt's a lovely space with lots of character. They have both outside and indoor dining space plus a full bar and plenty of seating. My only critique: the chairs in the dining area were quite small and really uncomfortable. Other than that, the ambiance was great and felt welcoming. ServiceThe service had room for improvement and is the main reason i deducted a point. A miscommunication around the Taquitos order left us disappointed. The menu described it as "2 chicken, 2 shredded beef," so we assumed we were receiving 4 taquitos. However we only got two and when we asked for clarification, they argued bit that it was clear and then admitted that it was a typo but didn't offer any resolution aside from a quick apology - no discounts or additional taquitos, nothing. This response was underwhelming and put a damper on our experience. I included a picture in my review so future diners can know what to expect. Aside from this, the service was fine, but we were hoping for a little more attention to customer satisfaction. Food and DrinksNow the food was amazing! I had the chicken quesadillas and they were filling and delicious. I will definitely come back just for them and will definitely try other items on the menu. We overall enjoyed the food and are excited to see what else they have to offer. The drinks were fine and i would love to explore more of the cocktail menu to find a standout favorite. OverallMezcal Cantina offers good vibes and really delicious food. With some improvements to the service and menu clarity, they could easily earn a full five stars from me! I'm excited to return and try more of what they have to offer.

Food was okay. Guac and margs were great but they were unfortunately very understaffed and messed up my order 3 times. Could be a great spot. Just need to work out the kinks!

Fairly expensive - but it's DC after all, so maybe not their fault - with food that was good, but not great. I liked the chicken dish I got, but most everything else was't anything terribly special. Very friendly staff which I appreciated - and the interior is really nice looking. They have a nice patio outside which is always popping - seems like people like it overall!

I came here for happy hour with a few friends. Overall this place was fine. My friend's drink tasted off to the point she needed to get a new drink since we were worried it wasn't good to consume. The food was ok, we got quesadillas that were nothing to write home about. Some good points are that the portions were large and the ambiance was nice. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Recently ate here with a friend while on a trip. Service was great! Food was decent. I ordered the three taco meal, all carnitas tacos. The ambiance was chill. I would recommend to others.

I would say that there's nothing particularly special or awful about this place. This salsa was OK but exceptionally mild. We asked for salsa refill a few times and then when it did come, they brought the sugary mango salsa but my partner's diabetic so we ended up having to toss that out. Vegetarian options are very limited, and it is extremely loud at least when we were in there. On the upside, the food is pretty tasty, the guacamole was delicious and the weight staff was friendly enough. Also, they have individual bathroom stalls with their own doors so that's nice.
