To be honest, I lived in Texas for a few years and my hopes for Memphis Mexican restaurants were not high. However, I’m pregnant and I was craving authentic Mexican food really bad. I looked at photos of every Mexican restaurant in Memphis to try to find the one that looked like the most authentic atmosphere and I landed on El Mezcal. We showed up on Saturday night at 7pm and were seated immediately. The second we were seated, they already brought us chips and salsa and were asking for our drink orders. We unfortunately didn’t catch our server’s name, but it was her first day and she was absolutely on top of it. We ordered nachos with chicken, Burritos Azteca, and Fajitas. I don’t remember the type of fajitas, but it had chicken, shrimp, steak, and cactus on it. All the food was absolutely phenomenal, large portions, and by far worth the cost, which was only right under $60. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, definitely the best experience I ever could have hoped for. Thank you!

Had a great experience at this restaurant.
We indulged in the Veggie Quesadilla and the Chile Poblano, and they were both super tasty dishes paired with quality service.
Very affordable and worth visiting. I have frequented both the Union Avenue and the Trinity Commons locations.

I was there for the first time today, got the chick fajita and cheese quesadilla lunch special with rice and beans. Quite delicious for the price. Restaurant was very clean and well decorated, the staff was knowledgeable and attentive, would definitely go back and try a full dinner.

There are several El Mezcal’s in the Memphis area, but this one is by far my favorite. The food is always great and very hot. & the servers are very friendly and tentative. Highly recommend this location.

Jorge our server was the best!! The food was fantastic alongside that, and make sure you get a lime on the rocks margarita to go with your order, you won’t regret it! Will definitely be returning to try the rest of the menu!

Unfortunately there is nothing I can rate higher than a 2. Sitting at the bar meant I didn’t want service because they had the person waiting tables and they were never available. Jar spinach and queso blanco would have been better. They try to jazz it up but it had no flavor. Margaritas are on special but I had to order a shot to go in it to make it as good as any other area restaurant on N. Germantown I’ve had. Tacos were basic and needed salsa to make them at least ok. The side of black beans were dry and shots are overpriced. Just go to Tekilas or La Hacienda instead.

We’re in town for work. Wanted something different than fast food and decided to try this place. The gentleman at the front, who took my to go order was extremely polite and helpful. I ordered the nacho cheese flautas and they were absolutely delicious! I ordered my husband steak and cheese quesadillas and he said the steak was well seasoned, probably one of the best quesadillas he’s had from a Mexican restaurant. Highly recommend this place. Also the queso dip and salsa was really good too!
