Love this place I haven't found something I dislike yet. All of the dishes are very flavorful and they give large portions. It's a go to if you're in for a sit down meal and especially if you have a margarita flight. read more

Mezcalito - Padilla - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, North Carolina

This is always a fun place to go when I am in Henderson. The drinks are out of this world and the chips are my favorite anywhere. My husband had the wings and I had the Enchiladas de Camaron minus the radishes. The server recommended the Diablo sauce on the side because it does have some kick but I really liked it. read more

I had the rudest server today when I was ordering take out. I asked for a chicken quesadilla and an order of guac. She then begins talking to me as if I'm a child and saying she's going to take care of the order. I am an adult women that is much taller than her. She ordered me a small quesadilla with no vegetables. She ordered me large sides of rice and beans. A small side of guac and no salsa. This was not my order. I regret going here because I've seen the staff picking at their face. My quesadilla was also very soggy. I am a large woman. read more

Excellent food. Very economical, haven't seen 7.99 fajitas that's terrific and food was great. It looks very unassuming from outside but inside feel very nice mid scale restaurant. I think it is underrated. The service was quick on a Friday afternoon. We will stop by on our trips again if we get a chance. read more

Mezcalito - My sister (she did not like the food) - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, North Carolina

My husband said it was "the best burrito he's ever had in his life." I had one of their bowls with a trio of proteins mixed in -- it was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous enough that we had leftovers for the next day. The service was excellent and the place was immaculately decorated... lots to look at! read more

Went in for dinner and was very disappointed. I was with my gf and she's Hispanic, there is nothing wrong with that but when our server got to our table she only spoke to her and only looked at her. I find that very disturbing and disrespectful bc I'm eating out aswell as her. Made me feel very unwelcomed. I was the one that was going to pay and tip but not being spoken to and looked at ruined my appetite. We left but our Dr Pepper was good!! Do better ‍ muy mal make everyone feel included and welcomed that's what we tip for.. right? read more

Went twice got a bowl the first time, Mezcalito bowl with chicken, didn't like it at all, love the salsa and chips, it was the salad mix in the bowl, pico de gallo, not good, the chicken in the bowl barely Luke warm. Second visit had a chimichanga and I wanted it dry fried no oil, the waitress told me no, it was pretty good. I will not eat white pieces of chopped iceberg. I didn't like the salad part that came with the Chimichanga pico de gallo. I've had issues with that before requesting no frying my burrito with a Chimichanga, that's ridiculous. You put it on the grill or over gas flame cook it, or in a dry pan and heat it up. Why is that a problem for Mexican restaurants??? read more

I went there for the first time last Friday and when I tell you, this was short of being amazing. The food was so good and the server.Yajaily was amazing as well, the whole experience was something to tell about. I normally don't get on here, They deserve every star that I have given them and wish I could have given them more please go by and see for yourself ‍‍ read more

This was our first visit to a Mezcalito location and we enjoyed it. I knocked back a few beers while watching a soccer game and my husband and I split cheese dip to start. Next it was the lunch chimichanga for me and the lunch mezcalitas enchiladas for my husband. The food was really good and I liked being able to order from the lunch menu for the portion especially for the price. read more

Mezcalito in Henderson is fantastic. When they first arrived where the old Golden Corral once stood, I was curious as to how they'd fare. Henderson isn't the largest town and is quite saturated with many fantastic Mexican restaurants. Mezcalito didn't disappoint however and has become a staple for my family. Not only is the menu wonderful, but the chips and salsa served at every table are exquisite. On my most recent visit, I ordered the Burrita Al Pastor. The pork and pineapple beautifully complimented one another for a delightful meal. I'd also like to shout out my server Andrea who worked diligent to serve my very large party. We had a mini family reunion and she somehow managed to provide each one of use top notch service with a smile. I cannot overstate the quality of food and service for the price. I highly recommend Mezcalito for anyone passing through the Henderson-Oxford area. read more

Food was incredible the burrito was delicious and the enchiladas was great too. The meat was soft and it melts in your mouth. The services was great like always my favorite waitress his name is Moses, the place, always clean and the music is great, it feels comfortable and you can talk and have a good time and listen to music at the same time. read more

Holy smokes this place is incredible! Best Mexican food in the south. The Al Pastor torta was amazing I will drive two hours just to eat here. The atmosphere feels amazing and the bar has almost every tequila. The server we had walked out during our visit no clue what happened there so I'm not reviewing based on his service but that of the servers around me. read more

We've eaten lunch here many times. The food has always been great Tex/Mex grub. It has a lunch menu that is very reasonable. I love the ACP plates and my wife loves the Chimichangas.

Mezcalito - Shrimp tacos, I subbed the chorizo for mushrooms. Sorry I ate one already LOL! - Mexican Near Me - Henderson, North Carolina

Fantastic place, highly recommended, great food and drinks. Quick service, efficient online ordering

NOT IMPRESSED Walked in and was hit by a sonic blast- the music way too loud! The "greeter" stopped talking mid-sentence to answer the phone then reengaged and seated us. Chips and salsa were decent. We ordered the tiras de pollo and lunch carnitas tacos. The chicken was "stale". They obviously prep it by grilling off a bunch of chicken breasts early in the day then reheat them as needed. The sauce was unmistakably generic Velveeta, all rubbery and seriously devoid of flavour. Refried beans were so-so; definitely not made in house. The carnitas were decidedly bland. I opted for consommé as my side dish and regretted it. It tasted decent but consisted of 2/3 broth and meat and 1/3 straight up liquid grease. They opened a while ago and never seem to be busy. When we came in (noon on a Friday) there were probably 8 other diners. This place is part of a chain of restaurants and as such belongs in a shopping centre in a larger city. Prices are pretty high, the menu overly complex, and not a family friendly environment. I seriously doubt they last long in Hendo. Try Toros in Oxford instead- they are AMAZING! read more

Visited last night to check out their vibe. Lots of cars were in the parking lot, so why not. I'm no longer a meat eater (chicken & turkey was my daily loves).. Anyways. The wait was about 15 mins-like most, they take your number and text when they are ready. We went in, sat down, got the usual chips n salsa. The chip guy must have lost the salt shaker in the bin because my goodness - they were sooooo salty. I had to sweep every chip I ate with a napkin. I got tired of sweeping and cave up eating the chips. (Oh well...) . I ordered a chimichanga but with black beans only and plain lettuce, my hubby got the fajita plate. The fajita plate was pretty big! I'd say you get your $ worth on this one. On my chimichanga I opt out of no meat and asked waitress would it be a reduction in price? She said she had to ask... Came back and said, no. What? I'm only getting black beans though (ha). What about the protein bowl, can I have it without mean? Sure, but it will also be same price even if you don't get meat. Well dayum... ok, so I think they need better choices for non-meat eaters. Yes, there were veggie tacos, but I'm not find of tacos like that and besides if I wanted to substitute they wanted to charge me for swapping out ingredients- so weird. . The place seems to be a reasonable place for cleanliness. Our waitress was annoyed because I asked her for our straws the second time, after she said she would bringing them. She said - I'll get them after I take your order. I said - "No maam, I need them now please-you just said that and eating these salty chips, I need to flush badly." She wasn't too happy, but lady!! ....You forgot the straws and I'm here parched. Please bring me a straw please, and thank you. I didn't like the remaining of the dinner because she thought she was too "Preppy", and she didn't like me asking her to get me a straw. Like really. Her attitude was dry the remaining of our sit. I was about to choke! . Overall - food and vibe was ok. Will I go again while in the area... probably not because of the waitress. I'm no longer giving people "second" try's because they know better when it comes to being a waiter/waitress. I tell my employees this all the time.... "Leave your attitude at the door, you don't know if that's a persons 1st time visiting or their 20th time, help them relax and enjoy their experience- that's their exhale time." . I guess if you like to get your drink on/it would be a good place/the bar was PACKED! Also their marketing on the menu say "best drinks ever". I wouldn't know though... sorry, can't vouch for that. read more

Yes, yes, yes!! This place is SO great!! Let me back up, and say I may have never walked into this place based on how it looks from the outside. We camp close by, had to go to Walmart (right next door), and my son had actually been telling me about this place. His words were "you have to get the mahi mahi tacos and a margarita". That's what we got the first time and he was spot on. Second time around, I ordered the coctel de Cameron, best I've had in a while, and my husband ordered alambra ACP and he said it was delicious. The restaurant is beautiful inside and the bar is spectacular. So many great margaritas to choose from. If you're in town, definitely worth stopping in. Just don't let the outside fool you!! read more
