    Skinny bowl

    What a hidden gem this place is. The food was as delicious as the pictures showed and had such a cozy and fun vibe. The owner was the sweetest and gave us the best recommendations and everything was sooooo delicious! Combination of ingredients made for the perfect burst of flavor. If you haven't stopped by, you gotta!!!

    Take it from a Bay Area Cali native: the carne asada tastes like home, the margaritas are some of the best I've ever had, and the vibes are immaculate. Seriously, this place is so good I went there two nights in a row, and the only reason it wasn't three is because my business trip ended. Go for the food, stay for the bar. You won't regret it.

    White melted queso

    We were eyeing Frank's Monster Munchies Cantina for lunch but we didn't make it before the 2pm closing. Instead we decided to come back later in the evening when they opened back up for dinner. The decor in this restaurant was so much fun and iconic. We were sat within minutes despite the fact that they were super busy. We were promptly greeted by a server that was so kind and genuinely seemed like she enjoyed being there. She informed us it was her first day. We ordered the following: Margarita Taquitos Chorizo & Egg Burrito Deep Fried Philly Melted White Queso The margarita was underwhelming so I ended up ordering a Corona. I didn't taste any tequila, just the margarita mixed they used to make my drink. The melted white queso was surprising. It's definitely not something I'm used to. The owner came by our table to check on us and she explained why her queso looks and tastes the way it does. It was not my favorite and I don't think I would order a queso like that anywhere. Now for the WOW moment of the meal. The taquitos stole the show. They were awesome! I would go back just for those. The filling, the crispness of the shell, and the toppings were perfection. My boyfriend enjoyed his chorizo and egg burrito and my deep fried Philly was so tasty. There were large chunks of steak and so much cheese! For dessert we decided to try the strawberry churro funnel cake. We devoured every last one of them because it was so good. This is definitely a gem and a must see if you are ever visiting the area!

    Gamechanger Krunchydilla Quesadilla

    Some unusual dishes. Everything on the menu looked so good that I really had a hard time figuring out what to order. I ended up with the Gamechanger Krunchydilla style quesadilla. It was amazing!!

    Fried cheesesteak burrito with fries-all very tasty
    Caroline J.

    What a yummy restaurant with a mix of delicious food! Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. The walls are covered with pictures and it's a casual style restaurant. We were seated right away and brought over water. We were also brought out chips and salsa. It was nice that the server asked if we wanted hot, mild or a green verde salsa. I can't handle spicy so he nicely brought out the hot and mild salsa. The salsa had great flavor! The chips weren't warm but no biggie! Just something I prefer. For mains we got the fried cheesesteak burrito and the chicken nachos. Hubs loved the cheesesteak burrito and he was born and raised in Philadelphia! The chicken nachos were also very good. I prefer a white queso but the queso on the nachos was still good. Also I liked the chicken a lot too! We got dessert to go and enjoyed the fried strawberry' cheesecake. Delicious! Overall a yummy place with good service and can't wait to go back to try more.

    Smothered burrito
    Ginory J.

    So if your looking for GREAT AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD come and visit. We had small nachos with chicken to start off with and they didn't skimp on the chicken! Wednesday is wing special 10 for $10 we ordered the sweet chili flavor perfectly fried and yall know I dont like slimy wings I didnt even have to ask them to be fried hard. Hubby ordered the smothered monster burrito with carne asada it was stuffed. Lunch is from 11-2 then they reopen for dinner their hours are correct on yelp. The waitress did a great job taking care of everyone coming in for that lunch crowd. Friendly staff, comfortable setting, and great music. They also will be expanding soon with a tequila bar I do believe next door. Will def be back. We had a great time thanks to Cholo and Theresa for having such a wonderful establishment.

    Our exceptional server Blair.

    First time here, we will be back! Three awesome bands ( favorite 'Wayward Brigade') and surprisingly no cover charge. Great food, great service. Met one of the owners- Charlie who was very accommodating and reserved us a wonder table. You can tell he treats the employees well. He interacted with many guests during the course of the evening and made everyone feel welcome. Relaxed atmosphere, they were very busy at times but but never showed frustration. Did not hear one customer complain about anything. Very clean restroom (important to us.) Can't wait to go back. A great experience I am glad we went.Our server Blair made the evening truly memorable took great care of us and other guests during a very busy night.

    Carne Asada Fries

    Great food, good people delicious fresh salsa and nice menu. I like everything I've tried here. Now when I'm craving Cali Style Mexican, I think of this place. The carne asada fries are incredible. It's worth it to drop by and check it out. Glad I did.

    Smothered Monster Burrito

    The food was so good! Pleasant atmosphere and wonderful service. Highly recommend! We enjoyed the Guacamole, Queso, Elotes, and all the food we ordered!

    Guacamole
    Courtney H.

    Not sure how this place has 5 stars. Food is subpar. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos and the fish looked and tasted like it was straight from the freezer section. The guacamole needed some lime and salt. The chicken wings were bland without any sauce (no salt, pepper, etc.) The food needs some love on the seasoning side. The staff and service were great. The ambiance was pretty chill. There are ceiling tiles with what appears to be mold on them.

    Food is phenomenal! The carne asada fries transported me to San Diego and warmer weather! The steak had that distinct, tangy delicious TJ/Southern Cali carne asada flavor. The fries were thick and crispy! The toppings were abundant and the fresh homemade guac and salsa were family run/mom n pop touches that I live for! Charlie's "hot" salsa was perfection! Runny nose, hiccups and all, beware if spicy isn't your thing, try the mild or green salsa instead. All the flavor with less heat. My friend had the skinny bowl and devoured the entire thing. I had the La Chingasa, a Mexican mimosa rimmed with Chamoy/tajin & made with Jamaica juice, delicious. The food was so good, the atmosphere is so chill and family friendly, the decor is fun and eclectic, music is on the radio, the staff is friendly and the owners personally come out and greet each table. It's a dream come true for this family and it's great to see them flourishing in their new permanent home after years as a super popular food truck! Congrats friends! Can't wait to come back.

    I saw the reviews and pictures on yelp and had to give it a try! If I'm ever back in the area…read moreI'll definitely be trying more!!! I got the tacos governador, they're shrimp tacos with grilled onions, bell peppers, and cheese. They were amazing. The shrimp was so fresh, plump, and perfectly grilled. The onions and peppers still had a little crunch to them, so all the textures worked beautifully together. I took my food to go and rated a 5/5, but I'm sure it would have been even better if I ate it immediately there if that's even possible. It also came with this special sauce, but it didn't really need it. They were amazing as is. I did like dipping my chips in the sauce. I also loved the chips and salsa. They're the thicker cut chips and can hold a lot. The salsa was fresh and no heat to it, but you could taste the peppers. The employees were very nice and helped me because I came in thinking I knew exactly what I wanted lol but completely forgot the name. It seems like a local restaurant because the employees were very friendly with all the customers there, and seemed like they knew everyone. If I have time before I leave, I'll definitely come back! Thank you for a great dinner and first proper meal in Virginia!

So, Sophia and I ate lunch over the weekend to see if the word of mouth held up. Let's find out, shall we? We were promptly seated when we walked inside. There wasn't a huge amount of people seated for lunch which was just fine with us. The restaurant isn't that big with a bad set up in the front and a dining area with tables. Mexican music was blasting through the system and TVs were showing sports and TV shows. And the staff was busy serving customers. All in all, a very good vibe. After a few minutes looking over the menu, the both of us were ready to order. We both ordered 4 tacos each (Sophia ordered 2 chorizo and 2 carne asada). I selected a birria, lengua, chorizo and carne asada. Everything was delicious. All the proteins were well-cooked and the veggies and available sauces helped with each bite. No real complaints from any of us. A wonderful lunch here. It's pretty cool when you find a mew place which will be on repeat. Till next time :)

On the menu, the kids meal says it comes with a drink. My daughter ordered a kids meal with a drink, but when I received the check, I noticed I was charged separately for the drink. I called the manager over and explained the issue. She told me that if the child is over 12, the drink is not included. I explained that nowhere on the menu does it say that. She grabbed a menu to show me, but after looking, there was still no wording explaining that policy. She then said, "We still have the right to charge you. It's not written, but this is our policy." I didn't like the answer, but I paid the bill and still tipped the waiter because this wasn't about the server. My issue was with how the situation was handled. I believe the menu should clearly reflect that policy, or the restaurant should honor what is written on the menu. Good customer service is about communication and transparency. This post is not to tell people not to go to Mezcal, because the food is still good, but I do hope the customer service improves and that customers are informed ahead of time when extra charges may apply.

Everyone can be seated comfortably. It is very large and filled with illusions of Mayan Ruins and a mild rainforest vibe. In addition to the interior redesign the menu is completely redesigned. Gone is the stereotypical Speedy Gonzales lunch special. The extensive offerings are replaced with such interesting combinations as a steak, chicken and shrimp burrito, described by my friend as "Delicious," and spinach enchiladas. We were offered tea refills and one to go. I had the spinach enchiladas and was not happy. The cooked spinach inside was served unaccompanied. There was a nice sauce on top but I was glad I swapped the rice for refried beans so I could mix up the beans, which were a bit too wet for me, with the spinach. Will not choose that again. Prices are higher as well. My lunch special and tea was $15 plus tip. Service was attentive although some mistakes were made and corrected, probably due to a language barrier. The improvements to Plaza Azteca have brought a more contemporary vibe. Good Mexican food and overall good dining experience.
