My wife and I had our first dinner as a married couple at Mezcal in Old Bridge, and it couldn't have been better. The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was outstanding, and the staff really made it special. We started with the shrimp cocktail, shared the tomahawk steak for two with all the add-ons (incredible), and enjoyed the "No Bullsh*t Margarita for Two" -- easily one of the best cocktails we've had. For dessert, the pistachio martinis were the perfect finish. A huge thank you to our server Clemente -- charismatic, attentive, and such a pleasure to have throughout the night. He truly made the experience unforgettable read more

I had an incredible dining experience at Mezcal when I went on 3/21! When you walk into the building you can feel the vibe from the lobby. Very unique and one of a kind from all the great decor, which sets the tone for the evening. The staff is very welcoming and very professional. The Menu is unique and everything we had was cooked to perfection. Skirt Steak Tacos, the Spanish Octopus (best I ever had), Filet cook perfectly, and the Spinalis was perfectly cooked. The Chef, Chris, is amazing, the GM, Eddie Sunday, is very professional and the list goes on. Mezcal in Old Bridge is a must try and you will not be disappointed! read more

This establishment is nicely decorated... that's about it. The food was terrible, and horribly expensive. The food is tasteless. +$20 for a head of lettuce with Caesar dressing and cheese??? They could have at least charred the salad, present it on a smoky plate with an LED light underneath... at least make it visually appealing like the drinks! If this is upscale Mexican cuisine, why isn't the chef Mexican? The food doesn't taste Mexican inspired. It tastes like all the other products in Restaurant Depot. The cocktails were very good. Don't let that distract you. It's all smoke flavor, dry ice, and mirrors!!!! Will not be returning. Not worth the price, food, or service. read more

Best of the best... who says hospitality is dead?!?! The food, service and vibe is all a 10 of 10. Heather was our server and made the evening a night to remember. Also, so many cool details to find in the restaurant itself!! Eddie (the GM) was a pleasure to talk to. We will be back... again and again... read more

The food and ambiance were great, service and presentation top notch. But omg expensive (can't say it wasn't worth it though). Super special occasions kind of place read more

A 10/10. Amazing food! Drinks were phenomenal. The staff was so nice and shoutout to Sean for making our experience something to remember, he definitely deserves that vacation! read more

What a beautiful place! Nevermind the amazing, Xmas decor. I wish I had the entryway. A wow factor in spades. My husband and I have been in the resturant,bar,service business for 40 plus years. While he has a different career, I spent my entire adult life scooping ice! We had more than a few apps and some drinks. The well seasoned as well as restraint made me glad we tried so many things. I have a plan for my steak with crab Louie. My husband plans steak with lobster scampi. It's a smart menu. Our bartender, Nicoli, was a pleasure. He is interesting and interested. Peter DeLuca made us feel valued in the end of first visit. I will tell all my friends and can't wait to try more. Well, Well done! read more

First impression walking in: WOW. The atmosphere and ambiance are exactly what you need on a late or weekend night. You can tell this place thought every detail from small to large through. It's great for a first date or an anniversary of five years, you can go for drinks with coworkers, etc. It's a one stop shop. The food though is not even a question: it's fantastic. My boyfriend and I had the octopus and I am critical of my octopus! It was PERFECTLY charred and so delectable. We also got the guac and chips (which came with three salsa varieties for dipping) and I forced myself to stop eating so I had room for my skirt steak and chimichurri. I asked for the steak to be medium cooked and it did NOT disappoint. I felt like a broken record: "wow, this amazing" or "damn, babe, you HAVE to try this!" I highly, highly recommend on all fronts: atmosphere, food, and service, in summary, though I could go on for days. Please see pictures for reference! read more

Had high expectations. Seemed overpriced for quality of food. Decor was nice, service was ok.

Great experience. Danielle & Joe were great servers. Hostess showed us around before dinner. Management checked up on us. Drinks are definitely the highlight IMO. Great place for a date or B-day. Prices are up there but it's worth the experience read more

Food and service were excellent! The decor and vibe are really cool, drinks aren't very booze forward but very showy and fun.

Food. Service. Ambiance were all very good. Food was fresh with tons of flavor. Menu is more upscale so it's high in price and some is à la cart. The cocktail menu is a great mix of liquor and a unique presentation. Overall it was a pleasant experience with great food for a special occasion. read more

Brandon, Corinne, Kevin, & Peter, they are awesome! No bar has the personality that Mezcal has! We had the best time, food was amazing and the drinks were so so delicious! Amazing experience! Drinks - Sucasa Margaritas were fantastic! Highly recommended! read more

We are so glad we had the opportunity to dine in Mezcal this past Thursday. As soon as you pulled up into the parking lot, there were gorgeous hand drawn murals on the building to set the vibe. When you walked to the front door, they played electronic tribal music (best way to describe it) that we felt like we were entering a tropical resort. All the decor was on point with the tribal theme and the ambiance was on point. As soon as we walked in, the hostess Maryanne opened the doors for us with a warm smile. She gave us a little tour and kept telling us that if we needed anything, to let her know. She sat us at a nice round booth and brought us a booster seat for our toddler. The booth was extremely clean. Our server was Matthew for the night. He was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and really explained everything to us from the cocktail menu to the food menu. He let us know his recommendations and of course we had to follow his word. We started off with the trio salsa and guacamole and chips as well as the citrus pork tacos. Everything was so flavorful. We ordered the skirt steak and the spinalis ribeye cap steak. Both were so tender and fantastic. My toddler couldn't stop poking her fork in my plate to eat more. For sides we ordered the truffle fries which btw was a huge portion as well as the mesquite creamy corn. Everything was so delicious and fresh! The bartender Karl made our drinks and they were absolute delicious. He had a smile on his face the entire time he was working even with a busy bar. All the bartenders in fact were very happy and engaging to their customers. We loved seeing the presentation of each cocktail and seeing the servers push around a cart to do table side service of some of the drinks. It was definitely a little show and our toddler was intrigued. We wish we had enough space for dessert, but that means we'll have to come back another time to try! A little shoutout to the bussers who were super attentive and quick to clear our plates and package up our leftovers. They are the mvps! Mezcal is family friendly and truly an amazing dining experience. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you Maryanne, Matt, Karl and the rest of the staff for making our experience one of a kind. read more

The food was delicious, the ambiance and service were excellent, and there is plenty of available parking.

My husband and I had the best dinner here for our anniversary. Kevin S was our waiter and he went above and beyond to make our night special. Not only was the food delicious (especially the steaks) but the service was impeccable, we will definitely be back! Thanks for making our experience so special Kevin S., we can't wait to come back read more

Mezcal is not only a beautiful restaurant but it offers amazing food and exceptional service. Our server Dan made dining here an experience! His knowledge and professionalism was impressive. We loved it and look forward to our next visit and we will certainly request Dan. read more

We have been trying for a while to get a reservation for Mezcal for a while as the weekends seem to be booked into the next decade, haha, but my niece finally snagged one for her birthday and asked us to join them. As we pulled up the place kind of looked pretty unremarkable until we pulled around back to the parking area, wow what a difference, beautiful entrance and murals. As we entered we were promptly greeted and shown to our booth. On the way we were given a mini tour of the restaurant and even told where the restrooms were located. I told the hostess that I am very uncomfortable in a booth and was promptly given a chair so I could enjoy my dinner. Out server, Danielle, was working at the booth next to ours, leaned in to greet us and tell us that she would be right with us. Within a few minutes she returned with water and to take our drink order and see if we needed any help with the menu. We took a little bit to get our order together as we were trying to take in the space as it has a lot going on, the decor is beautiful, Danielle was very patient and accommodating. The drinks arrived with much fanfare and smoke, apparently a theme for this place. The drinks were excellent. As this point we placed our appetizer order. By the way, the chips and salsa are excellent and plentiful. We shared a few of the apps which were very tasty and actually better shared as they were almost a dinner portion. We then, after a lot of questions about the menu, ordered dinner and another round of the very tasty drinks. The drinks arrived with another "smoke" show to be followed by our entrees. Everything looked fantastic. Two of us had the rib cap, asked and received cooked to the proper temperatures, rare and mid rare, my niece had ordered Halibut but was informed that they were out of it and asked if they could substitute Monk fish, no problem and she thoroughly enjoyed it. My daughter very much enjoyed her whipped potatoes and filet mignon, again cooked to perfection. My wife very much enjoyed her brisket tacos and I had the best Scallops that I have had in a very long time. We shared fried ice cream and a volcanic display on an order of churros for my nieces birthday, and some us enjoyed some very tasty dessert cocktails. My only complaint is the check, I feel that that it was a little on the steep side, $1000 for six people. But then again you get what you pay for and we did have an enjoyable evening. Thank you to everyone that we came in contact with as everyone was very friendly and accommodating. read more

what an amazing dinner, the restaurant is beautiful inside and out. The staff went out of their way to ensure that we had a great dining experience and we did. From the decoration, the cocktails and the meal. everything was exceptional. I felt like I was in Vegas, what a great experience and we will definitely be back again. We made several reservations before we left. it's a must read more

Everything was absolutely amazing! Marilyn was so knowledgeable and kind. She took so much time to explain to us in detail about all the amazing things Mezcal has to offer. We will be back to see her! read more

Unique restaurant that delivers. First, this is really a steak restaurant because the steaks are the show. As for drinks, the menu is extensive, but Tequila is the main attraction. They cut your steak, personally, I like cut my own steak. The roasted corn on the cob is fire! So, in closing, the ambiance is top tier. The food was good. I would say this is a steakhouse with a Mexican vibe. Would I repeat? Yes! read more

grossly over priced food is not good , portions small nice Instagram spot for a pic, that's it read more

What an experience! We made a reservation in April (for June 27) which was pretty far out.. and the wait was worth it. First let's start with the ambiance. This place is absolutely gorgeous down to the last detail. The art and details around the restaurant sets the vibe right from the start. We came here for my husbands birthday, and every person we spoke to said happy birthday. The host, waiter, food/ drink runners, manager. It's the little things that make the experience that much better. Second is our waiter, Sean. He was absolutely fantastic. Knowledgeable of the food and drink menu, fun, and attentive. He really went above and beyond and it does not go unnoticed. Third is the food. We got the octopus and queso to start, filets for our steak selection and corn, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese for sides. Definitely comes with a hefty price tag, but is certainly worth it. Of course we had to have a frozen espresso martini for dessert and tried the corn cake. Everything was unbelievably delicious, I truly don't even have any other words. The manager, Eddie, came by for great conversation. We learned a little about the prep and hard work that went into making Mezcal the place it is, and i have to say all that hard work and planning that went into this place paid off. I am already planning our next trip. read more

Good food and drinks. Overpriced. The place took so long to open to get the liquor license and they are gunna cash out on that.

Really good experience. Everything was on point. Cocktails , food, dessert, decor, staff. Nothing negative at all. It takes you away like you're in Bali or Tulum. Definitely worth it! read more

I went here for the first time last weekend with a friend.. And let me tell you about my experience lol. So I walked in on a Sunday night thinking it wouldn't be crowded because it's Sunday... Come to find out everybody in town was there lol. I asked for a table, but it was a 30 minute wait. So then the waiter said we could sit at the bar. The bar was a wayyy better experience ! Shoutout to Nicoli and Kevin .. amazing service. I ordered the salmon, entrée, mac & cheese, and truffle fries. Everything was well seasoned, fresh, and taste amazing. The drinks were just as great. I also had a shot of the Ocho tequila which thanks to Nicoli recommendation was chilled. Was super smooth lol. I can't wait to come back read more

My friend and I arrived 45 minutes before our reservation (totally my fault), and while I was happy to wait at the bar, Alyssa (who was absolutely amazing) worked her magic and found us a table right away. Initially, we were seated in the first room near the bar, which wasn't quite the vibe we were hoping for, so we kindly asked if there was a chance we could move to the other side of the restaurant. Despite how busy it was, Alyssa somehow made it happen again--pure magic. She even offered us a tour of the restaurant, and without hesitation, we said yes--because why not? You can tell so much thought and intention was put into this space. Every single detail was stunning. You could really feel the pride the owner has for what they've created. One of my favorite moments was seeing the Make a Wish Foundation section lit with tea lights. That foundation holds a special place in my heart, so to see it honored like that brought me so much joy. It's a clear sign of where the owner's heart lies, and it made me even prouder to support this place. Now onto the food--exceptional. We started with the "No Bullshit Drink," which was not only delicious but had a presentation that left us speechless. We shared the poblano stuffed pepper, Caesar salad, and those incredible skirt steak tacos--so juicy and flavorful. For our main, we split the bone-in New York Strip with a side of carrots, and finished off with the chocolate mousse dessert. Everything was just wow. But truly, what set this night apart was the service--especially from Alyssa. She's a gem: warm, full of personality, and made us feel completely at home. She's the kind of person who turns a good night into a great one. I'm absolutely obsessed--with the food, the vibe, the aesthetics, and most of all, the incredible service. I can't wait to come back read more

The food was delicious. The drinks were great. The decor was beautiful. The service was superb. Although I couldn't get reservations, I was able to get full service at the bar and it was completely comfortable. Nikoli was awesome and Matthew was very nice. Mezcal is a must. read more

Great place! Awesome bar with two great bartenders, Olivia and Matt! They took great care of me and my friend. Explained everything we had and went above and beyond. Mezcal should be proud to have two great people working there. Thank you to them!!! Emily Anne Velez read more

from start to finish this new upscale mexican is top notch. i cant wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. the menu has a great diverse selection with some great cut steaks. the vibe is great with cool music playing in the background loud enough to enjoy and low enough to hear ur guests speaking. Priscilla was our host for the evening and she made sure we wanted for nothing . she has a great work ethic and brings soladarity to the mezcal team. this place is a must try if you can get in. read more

From the moment you arrive, you are absolutely blown away by the atmosphere, colors and design. The ambience is insane. The food, the service, the portions, absolutely hands-down, a 10. The spinalis steak was unbelievable however, the sides were just as good. The bartenders make an amazing drink and they are like a well oiled machine! Worth every penny, worth the wait to make a reservation and we cannot wait to go back. It's an absolute must. read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Mezcal last night. The food, the service, the ambiance, the aesthetic all 10/10. Our server, Brandon, was very personable, attentive & knowledgeable. We took all of his recommendations for drinks, food & dessert & were not disappointed. Even tried octopus for the first time! Managers were present and very pleasant! Will be back for sure! read more

If 6s was a thing, it still wouldn't be enough. The outside is ridiculously beautiful in itself. I didn't want to be a tourist which is why I have none of the outside. GO SEE FOR YOURSELF!! Walking in... you're still not ready for what you think you're ready for!! Gorgeous foyer that leads into something out of a magazine. And not a magazine that is like, "ohhh I love that idea" - but a magazine you flip through and envy every detail, design, color, texture, lightening. It'll blow you away. The staff are so welcoming, I wanted to give the hostess stand all hugs!! Professional, knowledgeable and incredibly sufficient. Now. The lead up. The food. I just don't know where to start. Bar - Megan had two margaritas (pictured) and enjoyed them!! They have an insane amount of tequila!! Apps - stuffed poblano pepper, shrimp cocktail, skirt steak tacos, pork taco, queso mexican caesar salad, grilled octopus (scott nor i tried that ) * one was better than the next!! Dinner * we all got steaks, obviously. It's a steakhouse, how could we not. Next time, I'm getting the halibut. Skirt steak with grilled shrimp - au poivre Filet - diablo (crab, asparagus, béarnaise) Tomahawk - garlic anchovie butter Sides * asparagus, esquites, Mac & cheese, truffle fries Barely any leftovers. The presentation was incredible. The tomahawk bone was stamped with the restaurant's name which I think is so fancy! The portions were perfect. I even for probably the first time actually squeezed my lime on some of the dishes and whoa... The flavors of every bite were just so magically amazing!! Dessert * stuffed churros, with a side candle Guys. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience with food that leaves you feeling full and with something to tell your friends about * this is the place!! read more

This was our second time dining at Mezcal. The team that brought you 618 in Freehold has opened a new restaurant in Old Bridge. Mezcal is a cross between a steak house and an upscale Mexican restaurant. It's tough to score a reservation, but you will be in for a treat. From the moment you are greeted by the hostess, to the wait staff, and the table side visits from one of the managers, you are made to feel welcome. Our waitress, Danielle, was friendly, warm, and knowledgable about the menu. There is a great selection of craft cocktails with interesting presentation. My wife had the Despacito and I had the Soon to be Famous. They were both outstanding. For openers we had the guacamole. It was fresh tasting and accompanied by 3 different salsas and a basket of tortilla chips. We also had the stuffed poblano peppers. They had a mild heat and were stuffed with chicken, corn, cheese, and were served with mango relish and a black bean sauce. There were too large peppers. For our entree we split the Spinalis steak. It was perfectly cooked to the desired temperature. For dessert we split the fried ice cream. It was served with chocolate sauce, dulce de leche, whipped cream, and cherries soaked in alcohol. We look forward to returning. read more
