Happened upon this place when visiting some family. We were seated in about ten minutes even during an event for the local high school. Our chips and salsa arrived quickly, and drink order taken as well. My husband ordered the quesabirria, I ordered the carnitas and my uncle ordered the shrimp chimichanga. All our food arrived in a timely fashion! Although my husband's consume was on the colder side of warm, it still had great flavor. My carnitas were amazing. So tender and the plate had so many delicious options to make my tacos. The shrimp chimichanga looked delish, and if I get a chance to visit again I would definitely try it. The whole place was a bit loud, but I do believe that was due to the extra 30 teenagers helping staff for their fundraising event. It was not prohibitive of having a conversation. All in all, stop in! The staff is friendly and the food is good! read more

How does Merrill get a place this good, and authentic? There's no orange cheese or sour cream in sight. We were here visiting extended family, and this was the first place we came based on it being close to the hotel. I was expecting the Americanized food. It wasn't. We spent a week in Mexico City last month. You could take this place, drop it into areas near Polanco CDMX and it would succeed. The rice was above normal. The refried beans excellent, and the food itself was excellent. The esquites were a standout. read more

Good food, fast service, comfortable atmosphere. I would visit again when in the area.

The food was very tasty. I had the shrimp chimi special. The mojito had lots of mint and was probably the best I've had in a while. The service was quick and the ambience was great as well, clean and nice decor. read more

Amazing food. We had the mushroom fajitas and a combo tostada/enchilada meal. It was so good and their salsa is top notch. Highly recommend! read more

Not impressed. nothing authentic about anything. They were very rude to my mother who is a preacher.

Best mexican restaurant in North Central Wisconsin, between Marshfield, Medford, Wausau, this place is adorable Hidden Gem in Merrill! Delicious food, always a great quality meat, fairly priced. While the staff is friendly and accommodating they do get busy so service is sometimes not a 10. Atmosphere can get loud during busy times too but they do have a group room for parties. read more

Great service with a smile!! Food is great and Margaritas are perfect. I really like the Chicken chili Verde and all the Fajitas are delicious. read more

Was stopping by for takeout on our way up north for camping. I got the tropical chicken tacos. I must say they were amazing! Very very happy with them. Will definitely stop here again. Also, some nice margarita deals. Service was fast. And prices were reasonable. Salsa was kinda blah, but the rest made up for it. read more

In these Unprecedented Times® sometimes you just want to sit down and eat. Well that's what I did today at Los Mezcales and what can I say? It did not disappoint. These folks are fast, friendly, and freaking awesome delicious. I used to be absolutely terrified of chimichangas but today felt like the day to finally try one. I got the veggie chimichanga with no mushrooms because try as I might, I just can't bring myself to order mushrooms. Oh mylanta. It was incredible. I don't know what they did to those onions and bell peppers but they tasted insane. I was out of my mind when I walked in this place because I was so hungry and just came from an unsettling apple orchard and honestly, this meal was meditative. I'm a better person after eating here. Good covid practices too. Thanks read more

Food was really good! Had beef enchiladas with beans a rice, very tasty! I'd get food from them Again! read more

Poor service. Low quality food. We sat what seemed like forever to even speak to waitstaff. Finally when the waiter came we ordered everything only because we were afraid that we'd never see him again. We got our guacamole. It was obviously not fresh. The salsa was obviously out of a bottle. Our main courses were no better. Bye bye. read more

Great service! Food was excellent! The restaurant wasn't quite full, but staff was very attentive to our table! Recommend highly!

Los Mezcales is one of hundreds of Mexican restaurants scattered throughout the Midwest that offers standard, "Americanized" Mexican food, ranging from burritos to tacos and everything in between. Nothing here is special, but don't let that stop you from dropping in if you have a hankering for this kind of food. I was promptly greeted and seated. My server was very cheerful and attentive. It just so happened that they were changing half barrels when I ordered my beer. She apologized profusely and made sure I had some water to slake my thirst before the beer could be poured. As I always do the first time I visit a Mexican restaurant that I've never eaten at before, I ordered carnitas. Los Mezcales' carnitas were above average. A couple of chunks were a tad on the dry side but 90% of the meat was tender and juicy with just the right amount to seasoning and char around the edges. The Pico was fresh and tasty with a perfect amount of cilantro. The beans and rice were generic. I would have appreciated a dollop of sour cream. The tortillas, served on the side, wrapped in foil, were inedible (dry and tough). I rarely eat more than one tortilla anyway so it wasn't an issue for me and I just ignored them. If fresh, tender tortillas are important to you, be sure to send your's back to the kitchen should they be like the ones I was served. Despite a few mis-steps the overall meal was decent. There is just something about this type of food that is deeply satisfying even though you may not be able to differentiate one Mexican restaurant in Wisconsin from the next. And I'll take an average Mexican restaurant in the midwest over a franchise operation any day. read more

We are here for lunch. Very clean restaurant, including the bathrooms. We ordered off of the lunch menu (5 adults) and one kid meal. Very reasonably priced... our tostada lunches were $6.50. The food was good. The only request I would have is that they either get a more powerful hand dryer, or better yet, paper towels in the bathroom. But that's obviously not a huge thing. We'd definitely come again. read more

Excellent food and service. Busy place which speaks for it's popularity. Bit of a wait at the bar, but he was hustling taking care of tables as well. Carnitas were tasty and plentiful. read more

The food here is great! It is always super fast service and wonderful quality. The portions you get a really large and they are very reasonably priced. read more

Have been here twice now and the food has been great both times. Good portions and fast, friendly service. Was able to use credit the first time but second time they were only taking cash. I don't think it was a system outage but a business decision. read more

Bring a big appetite! Big servings of excellent delicious food! Service was great too

Food is good as almost always. We are lunch there today 7/2/20 and while the employees wear masks there is no social distancing of any kind. None of the tables are blocked off to distance people. The menu's are not disinfected before or after each use. They are wiping the tables down with a single rag and no spray disinfectant. To compare we ate lunch at Olive Garden two days ago and all employees wore masks. They had tables blocked off to keep social distancing. They use paper menus and disposed of them after each use. The booths, chairs and walls are cleaned with a spray disinfectant after each customer is done eating and allowed to dwell for the recommended time between uses. We ate a couple times a month at Los Mezcales in Merrill prior to the virus shutdown. I'm sorry to say we won't be back until the recommended precautions are implemented. read more

Excellent food at a good price. Staff is always very friendly. Great margaritas. Beautiful ambiance.

Get the guacamole! It says it has jalapeños in it but it wasn't hot. Just really yummy! Have you been to Mexican places before where you felt it was thrown together last minute with ingredients already prepared in the back? This is not one of those places. My food was lovingly prepared and it tasted like it. The margaritas are $5! Thank God I could walk to my hotel, conveniently located steps away from the restaurant. I'll be back when my travels take me back to the area! read more

Had mixed reviews of this place. Order the same exact entree every single visit because it's delicious when done correctly. Last 3 were not given enough cheese sauce or not enough protein. Also requested without beans and still received beans. Communication is questionable here at best when taking orders over the phone. read more

Stopped here on way back from weekend up north. Was a great surprise to find such good food, fast and polite service and the frozen lemonade varieties were loved by the two kids I had with. Burritos are massive, the salsa was great and the place as plenty of space inside and all were social distancing. When back in the area we will certainly stop by here again. read more

The food here is great every time we go. The service is always fast and friendly. One of the better places in Merrill to sit down to a nice meal. read more

Excellent is all I can say! From service to authentic Mexican food. Margarita was amazing! I will definitely be back! Did I tell you how amazing the service was, well if I didn't: it was fast accurate and all smiles! read more

Best Mexican food ever! Nice atmosphere & great service! We will drive the hour from home to eat here!

Carne asada about 1" thick, did I get the end of the batch or what? I'm so annoyed, probably won't go back. FYI: Tonight was a take-out order, I couldn't quite "tell the waiter" of the issue. read more

Wow, the reviews for this place are all over the map. All I can say is that I walked in, sat down at the bar, and had a massive and delicious Margarita in my face in about 3 minutes. I ordered the Carnitas and the pork was cooked perfectly. For 23 bucks I was one happy camper. Definitely recommend. read more

I had enchiladas and it was out of this world my girlfriend had a quesadilla that was of the same class, fantastic. I would go far out of my way to eat here again. read more

Road warrior sampling some great Mexican grub. It's not Tex-Mex, just great Mexican food. One of the only restaurants in Merrill that I have enjoyed. Clean, well lit atmosphere. Fresh ingredients, great, fast service. I'm only in town for 5 days, I'll be back a couple times. Enchiladas buried in pulled pork, covered with sauce. read more

Great authentic Mexican! Chips were bottomless and warm! Ordered the fish tacos and they were amazing! Special sauce was excellent. To a little longer than usual after our drinks were delivered to get our order placed but the food came vet soon after our server left. Great all around experience and restaurant. Highly recommend! read more

Very fast service with decent margaritas. I wish they had a more extensive beer tap list. The chile rellenos were delicious and portions were generous. Salads were good, too. The salsa left something to be desired, but overall, it was a good, affordable experience. read more
