I've had the pleasure of eating at Mezcal Grill many times over the years, both dining in and taking out, including at their Broadway location. The service and food quality have always been excellent. They have a huge menu, a friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels a step above a typical taqueria or fast casual spot, with solid table service to match. It's about time I gave them the credit they deserve because their food is consistently great. Historically, I've loved their enchilada plate, especially the mole enchilada. It's one of my favorites. Today, with the sun out, I was in more of a mariscos mood, so I ordered the shrimp ceviche and the fried tilapia plate. The ceviche is very bright and fresh, with mango mixed in, which adds a really nice layer of flavor to the traditional combination. It comes with freshly fried tostadas that are crisp and flavorful. I'm not personally a fan of the white crackers on the side, but they also bring complimentary chips and salsa, so once the tostadas run out you can use the tortilla chips instead, which works just fine. The tilapia was excellent. It's hard to go wrong with a well fried tilapia, and they do it right. The guacamole and pico on the side are great for building tacos, and the beans and rice are both perfect. You really can't go wrong coming here, especially with the variety they offer. Sitting outside on the patio is nice, though this particular location can feel a bit sketchy at times since a few odd characters often cut through the parking. It's mostly fine, but if you're looking for a more relaxed patio vibe, the other location might be a better option. That said, this spot also has a comfortable indoor dining area. read more

Fire Mexican food. Authentic dishes. Lots of items to choose from. Happened to be in the area so we dropped in for lunch. The restaurant is very clean. Lots of outdoor seating too. You order at the counter then are given a number. Picked up some complimentary chips and salsa and waited. The salsas here were pretty good. Particularly like the mild red salsa. Fresh radish and jalapeños available too. I loved my California burrito. I added avocado to it. The asada were meaty and plentiful. Fries were crunchy yet not greasy. My mom loved the beans here. That's always a big deal with Mexican spots. The chilaquiles were delicious. I'd order that myself on the next visit. We didn't care for their scrambled eggs on the plate, could've went a bit softer on the scramble. Overall this place is a great local spot for Mexican eats. Affordable while still serving big portions and awesome bites. Cashier was super friendly and patient. read more

Mezcal Grill - Mole Enchiladas Plate - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

I had written a few reviews for Mezcal but it had been awhile since hubby and I been able to get out and so we went back today. And once again, they delivered. It was just a simple bean & cheese burrito but it was delicious. I love the homemade tortillas!! The service team was welcoming and smiling and friendly as usual but it was cool to see the bright blue outdoor patio furniture and the new comfy chairs on the inside. So glad we changed our "pickup" order to a "dine in" and the new shirt motto is perfect! MAKE TACOS NOT DRAMA read more

A lot of parking available. There are homeless roaming around just be advised nothing too crazy. Waitstaff was friendly. We ordered Mole Chicken Enchiladas and Tacos Carne Asada and Pork El Pastor. I tried their Mezcal with lime and mint and it was good. They were playing world cup games on 4 different monitors. read more

Mezcal Grill - Agreed - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

We stopped by Mezcal Grill in South Natomas for dinner and really enjoyed our meal! My husband had the Carnitas, which had great flavor, though he wished they were a bit crispier -- they tasted more like they'd been slow-cooked all day. My daughter had a bean and cheese burrito and absolutely loved it, and we ordered micheladas that were perfectly balanced and full of flavor. I had the Caldo de Pollo, and it was amazing -- comforting, flavorful, and perfect for a cool night. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was friendly. Overall, a great spot for a casual family dinner with delicious drinks and cozy food. read more

The dip with chorizo was so good! Would get that again. We got a berry margarita and a strawberry mocktail margarita and unfortunately they did not have any flavor. They have an outside patio with heaters that were great. Great service! read more

We chose to go here due to the great reviews on Yelp, and as usual the Yelp reviews were accurate. We were quickly seated and chips, salsa and water were on the table so fast. The chips are good, but nothing particularly special. The staff was friendly, as were the other diners who offered unsolicited suggestions of their favorites, one of which my mom chose to get! We ordered a shrimp burrito, a mahi-mahi burrito, and the mole enchiladas. All three were excellent, and the portions (especially the burritos) were large. Highly recommend, and plan to come back next time we are in the area. read more

Per usual amazing service as always! We had friends visiting from Pennsylvania and last month all they asked was to please go eat some good mexican food. Immediately I told my husband let them know we will go to Mezcal. It's always packed here and you can't tell by the service. I let them know how much I love the chili relleno and one ordered it. The other ordered beef tacos rice and beans. I'm always getting the shrimp which is filled with great flavor perfect spice! I could take that sauce with beans and rice and have a great burrito from it. We ordered the chimichanga. Which hubby says was delicious. The guacamole Here is always amazing. The salsas and chips are great. I love all the open windows in the restaurant. We were able to catch up and have a great time. The chorizo queso is a must try. The margaritas great and modelo nice and cold. If you haven't ate here and are craving mexican please do yourself a favor and try it out. read more

Came here for lunch. Had the torta ahogada. The bread was crisp and the ingredients fresh. It was delicious. You order at the counter, seat yourself, and get the chips and salsa yourself as well. The staff were very nice and the food came out quick. The restaurant was clean with nice decor. Recommend trying it out. read more

Came here with a group. Inside and outside seating available. However they couldn't fit a large group so we had split seating. Didn't know the chips are self served. Not expecting it given there is a waitress and we paid 20% tip. Food was average. Not something to write home about. Tried their signature burrito with Mahi Mahi tuna. Came with red and green sauce. Appeared large in portion and size but the filling was less than expected and satisfying. Filled mostly with salsa and beans. Service was slow. We were told they could take two forms of payment and cannot split the bill. Wish we had gone somewhere else. Not worth a second visit. read more

I work near this establishment and this has been my go to lunch spot. I order a Torta de Asada with fries, and it always hits the spot. Mezcal's quality of food is really high in my standard, and if I want to impress people with a spot, I bring them here. The service is amicable and very fast. There are lots of great spots to sit indoor and outdoor. The parking around it sucks, but there's nothing they can do about that. Food price is good, service is good, and ambiance is good. There's nothing more I can ask of them as they do such a great job altogether already. This has the Dyllan Guarantee. read more

Mezcal Grill - Torta with fries - Mexican Near Me - Sacramento, California

I have been here a few times for drinks and it's always been very pleasant. The staff has been very nice and it's consistently checking in on you too. The last time I went there, I tried their new nopal taco plate. It was really good. I was so impressed. It's cactus instead of tortilla with some beans and the meat of your choice. I've tried their regular taco plate, butrito, and quesadilla. The food gennerally is ok, but the nopal taco plate was very good. I had their strawbery margarita which was very delicious, it came with a tajin rim. The restaurant is located in a plaza with other stores, including a grocery store- grocery outlet. So it does get busy. read more

This has quickly become one of my favorite and go to spots in natomas. Parking: its located in a shopping center, so there are no issues when it comes to finding a parking spot. Service: everyone here is super friendly and attentive! There is also plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. Food: the items I've ordered so far is their ceviche and chicken taquitos, both were amazing. Drinks: THIS is what keeps me coming back! They have a ton of different tequila and mezcal drinks and they aren't too strong or too weak! Love the variety of options I can choose from. I also love that when it is time to pay, they have a machine right on the spot. Rather than having to put your card down and wait for them to come back with the receipt. read more

Stopped by for happy hour and enjoyed their delicious chicken mole tostaditas, fresh guacamole, and their amazing bean and cheese dip made with chorizo, one of the best dips I've ever tried! Very addicting. It was a 10 for me, Everything paired perfectly with their corn tortilla chips. Great service, very friendly staff & the perfect little happy hour spot! read more

Found on my lunch hour tucked away on the corner West El Camino & Truxel in a shopping center near I-5. Private lot with plenty of parking. Lots of covered outdoor seating. Inside I was greeted upon entering. You order at the counter before sitting. Full bar, self-serve soft drinks, self-serve chips and salsa bar. A few big screens playing sports, spacious seating & seats at the bar. I enjoyed the two flour soft taco plate (asada) comes with beans, rice and small salad. Portion was generous! Loved that the cheese was melted on to the meat! Meat was flavorful & tender. Beans and rice cooked well and seasoned just right! Not too salty. I paid $14 and some change. Great price for a sit down meal in a welcoming and clean environment. Came in a little after 2pm- was quiet and got some work done as well. Will definitely return. read more

Been to Mezcal Grill a handful of times and enjoyed every dish and experience I've had here. Most recently came in with a group of friends for brunch on a Saturday at noon. Great customer service, very attentive with a large group! I got the chile verde plate ($18) which came with braised pork in a tomatillo sauce, rice, refried beans, romaine lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and tortillas. Everything was delicious and fresh! And chips and salsa are complimentary! read more

The food was really good. My first time experiencing Mezcal by accident, but I'm glad I did!! I'll be back.

First of all, the choices for Mexican Food is wide and deep. Many good choices out there, Mezcal is a great one. The food choices at the restaurant is great. The tequila choices are wide and varied. Being from Vegas, I wish I can find a spot like Mezcal close to me. I will be back and this will be my go-to going forward. The location is sketchy but so is every place is these days. read more

We stopped here after a visit with family and the environment was very inviting and the service was exceptional. They had a wide variety of cocktails including a michelada with a zero alcohol beer! I highly recommend the chilaquiles because they serve it with fresh made tortilla chips and the carnitas quesadilla was delicious. Price was very reasonable. read more

This place is near my apartment and I always drive by it. I decided to give it a try and came here for lunch with my friend. We both had tacos and margaritas. I ordered the shrimp taco and blackberry margaritas drink. The food was good but the drink was a bit disappointing, it just did not taste good. I decided to order a regular margarita and it was much better FYI. The waitress was really nice and the restaurant is spacious. Overall, if you're in the area this is a decent Mexican restaurant to try. read more

I lived in Natomas for most of my life and I have never visited this Mezcal Grill location - we usually go to the one closer to East Sacramento. We came in on a Friday at 8pm and the place was pretty busy, but we were seated right away. There was inside and patio seating and everything felt clean and modern. We ordered the Soft Flour Ground Beef Tacos and Crispy Chili Verde Tacos. The crispy tacos were not hot and neither was the rice and beans on either plate. The ground beef was super salty, to the point where I couldn't even finish and I like salt. Service was great and friendly, but I was not a huge fan of the food we ordered compared to the other location. I kept seeing other customers ordering the Molcajete so maybe we just ordered the wrong items. We'll give them another chance next time we're in the area! read more

Mezcal Grill is hands down the best Mexican food spot in Natomas. My family and I visited during the day and had an incredible experience with delicious food, fast service, and of course, a fantastic margarita. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed. We were seated right away, and within a minute, we were served waters along with complimentary chips and salsa. Our server was incredibly sweet and patient--especially with our energetic 2-year-old--and she was quick to take our order as soon as we were ready. The service was impressively fast, and before we knew it, our food had arrived. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled with their menu options. I ordered the quesadilla plate with Impossible meat, which was a pleasant surprise since it's rare to find meat substitutes at Mexican restaurants. The portion was generous, served with rice, beans, and guacamole. It was perfect for sharing--my son happily enjoyed the rice and beans while I devoured the quesadilla. An added bonus: you can substitute meat with Impossible meat on any of their entrées, which is a huge plus for vegetarians. read more

I ordered the nachos with carnitas. Their neck nachos are packed cheese (liquid kind) , guac, sour cream, beans (but I asked for no beans on mine) and meat of choice, which I got the carnitas. Overall pretty good. Think I would get their burritos instead. Husband ordered the wet burrito with carne asada and definitely enjoyed it cuz he finished it pretty quick. It's a pretty decent size, which would probably be good for two people. Love how they have a salsa/chips bar. Great service and friendly staff. The location of this place is in a shopping center, plenty of parking. read more

New favorite Mexican spot in Natomas! Looks fun and trendy inside! Complimentary fresh chips and salsa bar. Loved all 5 out of 5 salsas available. Service is attentive. Restaurant is clean and nice indoor and outdoor seating areas. LOVE all the food and drinks we've tried here: Mole enchiladas - YES! BEST IVE HAD! Chile verde Berry Mojito Margarita was huge! Taco de papa - perfectly crispy On the spicier side - shrimp taco, fish taco We've been here twice this week! Haha It's reasonable priced too, which is a plus! DO NOT SKIP THE CHURROS WIRH ICE CREAM!

Great find! Reasonably priced cocktails (I liked the $9 Chamoy'ita with a splash of Starry). My tostaditas were incredibly filling with generous helpings of chicken mole on top. Topped with avocado, they were very tasty. The guacamole wasn't all that flavorful but tasted fresh. We added some salt and hot sauce to spice it up a bit. Our servers were attentive and the ambiance was spot on...subdued lighting with some pretty accent lights, very clean and a TV to watch the game but with the volume down low so interested folks could watch without it interfering with others' conversations. We would definitely come back! read more

It's about time I update my review! We've been coming here for many years, and we have never had a less than stellar experience here. Service is always friendly and efficient, food is full of flavor, and they are always making changes for the better! Most recent change is the dining room, specifically the chairs. We went in to eat during HH today, and the seats were super comfortable! There have been some added menu items, like the Nopal "Taco" Plate! He ordered that with asada, and it was delicious. We will definitely be ordering it again. I had the shrimp taco a la carte & fish ceviche tostada, both were great and generous portions. Their chips & salsas are fresh and flavorful as well! Their craft cocktails are FANTASTIC! Today I had a watermelon margarita ($7 on HH). read more

Yum! As always, Mezcal Grill hits the spot. Happy hour is a vibe, opt for the bar or eat outside next to the blooming bougainvilleas. I tried the nonalcoholic Cordino spritz today, which was a spicy citrusy drink that has a bittersweet aftertaste. We ate taquitos and enchiladas while we watched ice cold margaritas being poured at the bar. 10/10! read more

Dined in at Mezcal Grill Natomas this past week with a coworker. I really like this place. Eat at bar counter or tables. When you walk in, you order and have a seat. Food is brought to you. It's an expedient process and the restaurant had customers but it wasn't crazy busy. I love the super chill experience we had. There's a chips & salsa bar. No pico de gallo but the verde and the red sauces were good. I don't need chips anyway. There were a couple of carrot slices in with pickled jalapeños. Grabbed fresh radishes, too. Tried the shrimp taco this time. It's good. I asked for my carne asada meat in my flour taco (must order, love the fresh tortilla) to not be cooked too much. It came out perfectly. The lovely plants on the patio dining were really cool. And I'm in love with the burro and handler giant photo on the back wall. read more
