I don't understand the popularity. My family and I went for the first time after seeing the Yelp…read morerating and it is a one and done. The positive first: The lime mojito was probably the best I've had. The salsa is close to the best in Goldsboro. My son raved over his birria tacos. That was it... 3 things form the entire meal. The wait time from order to receiving food seemed a little long since there was less than a handful of people when we arrived. The guacamole was edible but not as good as it should be. My younger son and I asked for no cheese sauce on the kids burrito and he got it anyway. Tamales are hard to find and to get them with questionable looking ground beef and beans dumped on them was disappointing. They were okay once I scrapped that off. The refried beans were terrible. The rice was okay and the black beans tasted like they came strait from a can. The deal breaker is when the waiter came and told me he made a mistake. He proceeded to tell me he gave another table my ticket and flashed a signed ticket and proceeded to show me their tab that was almost $5 more and asked me if I would just pay their ticket. He kept saying something about him paying the $5 but he was not saying how and I was put on the spot. I asked him to remove a $2 item on that ticket and agreed just to get it over with. He should have reprinted my ticket and dealt with the mistake behind the scenes.

We had dinner at Mezcalito while visiting Goldsboro mid-July…read more The restaurant is much bigger than it first appears. When you walk in, you'll see the main dining area, but as you continue through the restaurant there are additional dining rooms, bar seating, and a really nice outdoor patio in the back. It's a beautiful space with plenty of seating. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, and they were excellent. The shrimp was seasoned well and cooked perfectly, and the sides were just as good. My boys split the sushi and wings platter, and they both really enjoyed it. My daughter had the cheese quesadilla, which she happily finished. I also have to mention the avocado presentation! It wasn't my order, it belonged to my friend, but I had to snap a picture because it was arranged so beautifully. I've never seen sliced avocado presented like that before. It almost looked too pretty to eat! Service was friendly and efficient. Even though the restaurant was fairly busy, we were seated promptly and our food came out quickly. We didn't order drinks this time, but several cocktails passed by our table, and they looked incredible. One thing to keep in mind is that it can get a little noisy as the restaurant fills up, especially in the main dining room. Thankfully, we were seated in one of the back dining areas, which was quieter for most of our meal and made it easy to enjoy conversation. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with delicious food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend Mezcalito, and if we're back in Goldsboro, we'll absolutely be returning!

She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. The food was fantastic--the tacos were fresh, crispy, and packed with flavor, the rice and beans were delicious, and the queso was some of the best we've had. The salsa was fresh with just the right amount of kick, and everything came out hot and quickly. Joanna's excellent service really made the meal even better. She was welcoming, checked on us at the perfect times, and made us feel like valued guests. We'll definitely be coming back and will be asking for Joanna again. Highly recommend!
