    Good ice tea
    Tiva W.

    My friend selected El Mezcal for our monthly lunch get-together. The food was good, not fantastic, just good for the price. Service was great. Our waitress stopped by often to see if the food was good or if we needed anything. Cudoes for service. El Mezcal was decorated in authentic Mexican style. Very colorful and vibrant. I would have liked to hear authentic Mexican music playing, but we were entertained. The regulars began filling the place up shortly after they opened at 11:00. I recommend you give El Mezcal a try. The food is plentiful and delicious. The prices are very fair for the amount of food you get. Very clean, friendly staff. Plenty of parking, easy access for handicapped parking, seating and restroom accessible. If you like Mexican food, give them a try. I think you'll enjoy El Mezcal.

    Taco, chili relleno and salad.
    Dina T.

    I visited on a Saturday, early afternoon. I ordered the #1 lunch with a taco and chili relleno. They were full of beef. The salad was plentiful, including a large dollop of avocado. The relleno was too spicy for me and served lukewarm. My server, Antonio offered me a substitute. I said, I'm OK and I'll pay the full bill. He then asked me if I'd like dessert instead. I could not resist the flan, which was very good. This is the kind of place that deserves high marks!

    3 out of 4 of us ordered theses burrio (?) tacos and loved them!

    We Love this place. Great chips and salsa, Food was hot and fresh!! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Only down side but not bad, I love refried beans, theirs are more a pinto bean, not mashed probably healthier for you!

    Staying at a local hotel and they recommended. It's a standard Mexican place with booths and tables located in a strip mall. Takeout service was quick but not helpful in making suggestions. Ordered the pollo ranchero which didn't have that much flavor. Came with rice also not much flavor without salsa. Also came with corn tortillas. Take out margarita was best part of the meal and kept it from being 2 stars.

    The Food and Service is still amazing. We've been here at least four times for dinner and found it to be exceptional. The service is always excellent greeted with a smile very nice. The restaurant was also very clean not seen in very many places anymore. I highly recommend you go there and try it out.

    Fried shrimp chimichanga

    The margaritas were amazing. Very surprised by the house margaritas how good it was. Iguana margaritas which was good. The chicken taco shooters were delicious and well seasoned. The guacamole you can tell was freshly made. My only disappointment was the fried shrimp chimichangas. It was not fried enough and they were stingy on the amount of shrimp. It was also salty. One of them only had 2 shrimp and all vegetables in it. The service was great. If it wasn't for my shrimp chimichangas I would have given them a 5 star.

    Had to heat up my own tortillas and still only ate 2 tacos out of the 4 I ordered just because how soggy and disgraceful they were. $20 for four tacos. It wasn't worth 5 bucks.

    Carne Asada, chips & salsa, and taco salad
    Melissa N.

    This place was amazing! Service was excellent. Food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. Save room for dessert! Not shy on the portions and they were delicious! We had the street corn as an appetizer, oh my goodness I would go back just for that! Taco salad for my auntie and I hade Carne Asada. YUM! Order two desserts to be shared. When they came out of the kitchen, my eyes about popped out of my head! We had Antonio as a server, he was super friendly, accommodating, and had great recommendations . The ambience and atmosphere, super fun! If you're not in this area, they have other locations in Ocala, Homosassa, and Mount Dora. The restaurant was so clean! The seating and decor made you feel that you were right in Mexico dining. I especially loved the seating, it was black trimmed with navy vinyl and large diamond like tufted rhinestones.

Moments later he came over then took our drink order. By the time he brought our drinks over, we were ready to order. Our waiter explained a few things on the menu. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, my friend ordered the burrito. My meal came with rice and beans. The lunch special was very reasonable, $11.99. The tea was nasty $3.99 and a bottle of water $2.50! I admit, the food was delicious. The lunch special was small but filling. The music was great but there was no Mexican ambiance. There was left over Christmas decorations here and there. We wanted to order the churros. I practically had to go to the back of the restaurant to find someone. Finally he came out and took the order. He brought them out within 5 minutes. He asked us if we wanted anything else, we said no and we needed separate checks. He brought us a combined check. I told him we wanted separate. He told us if we wanted separate checks, we'd have to go to the counter. (A bit lazy) All in all, the food was good, the service just wasn't there. They might have more business if they took care of their customers better. Will we go back? Probably not. There are plenty of Mexican places to try.

There's a huge deck, overlooking the Gulf... and an extra tiki bar, off to the side (and who doesn't need an extra tiki bar?!) The food menu is tempting and extensive (grouper, stop calling to me!) and the drink menu is fun and fabulous (and also calling to me).

I'll just have to go back ASAP and get you the seafood and starters info you richly deserve. Sam's is right there on the waterfront, next to the picnic pavilion. The private parking lot is sort of small-but somehow I snagged that spot at noon on a Saturday. There's also street parking close by. I'll bet it's packed at night, though, when they have live music and it's sunset time. Come check them out. If you get there before me, please tell me about the food!
