Juicy, seasoned, no drama -- just the kind of taco that makes you stop talking mid-sentence and nod at your friend like, yeah... this is it. The steak held its own too. Clean, savory, cooked with respect. The salsa was bright and fresh -- I just wish they had more than two options, because the food deserves a little more chaos on the table. No gimmicks. No complaints. Just good tacos, good flavors, and the kind of meal you leave feeling better than when you walked in. That's a good visit. That's a good meal.

As a newer restaurant, they're still expanding their menu (no rice and beans or queso yet), but the hostess was warm and helpful with recommendations for first-timers. Our horchata came first, followed by fresh chips and salsa. The horchata was delicious, not watery at all and full of flavor. They make all their specialty beverages in house, and you can tell! The chips were warm and fresh, and the salsa had a really great flavor to it, unique from other Mexican restaurants we've more recently been to. Our 4 year old daughter enjoyed the music and videos playing of Salsa dancers and other traditional Hispanic dances while we waited for our food. The quesabirria and carnitas tacos were both excellent - full of flavor and clearly made with care! We're already planning our next visit to try more of the menu. This is going to be our new go-to family spot.

Fifteen minutes later I'm buying a massive bag of NM red chiles in a parking lot, two days later I'm making red sauce using Jason's recipe and using it to smother enchiladas.

However, the issue is the consistency with the quality of the food and the margaritas. Sometimes everything is excellent, other times the food doesn't seem as fresh or the frozen margarita is full of large ice chunks. They also stopped giving sour cream and guacamole with fajitas or chimichangas which is annoying. I prefer the other El Mescal location for ambiance and consistency but this place is good when it's good. The inside of this location is kind of meh outside of the bar area. It's usually pretty empty inside. Service is always friendly but sometimes takes awhile.

It was Friday night and the place was starting to get busy but we were seated quickly. The hostess even apologized for our wait that couldn't have been more than 3 minutes. The place has a nice, friendly vibe. We were provided chips and salsa while we waited for our food which was flavorful and large portion. Great waitress and the food was fantastic. I didn't get photos but the 2 enchiladas with a hard shell taco was awesome. They had a gentlemen playing a guitar on stage and the staff would encourage him and hoot and howler which got the customers into it. It was a nice touch to a great meal.

(Yes, I ate it because I drove for about 10 hrs and even Hamburger Helper would have hit at this point) But, just call it was it is "camarones a la mid" we also got the Asada plate which my husband enjoyed, and I had to steal his roasted jalapeños.
