Haven't been to Mezcals in a while but came out with a friend to catch up, great vibes and service from everyone, the fajitas were delicious and ordered a pitcher of margarita great size for two 10/10, surely will be back read more

The food was delicious. Clean and very festive place. Service was excellent. Would certainly return

This is a small restaurant on a busy street with impossible parking. BUT the food is worth the effort! Delicious everything! The tacos melt in your mouth. The Margaritas are top notch read more

Reminds me of a much better burrito bar with more food options. Very small and people will wait for a table--that means something ya know. My best friend and I sat on the outdoor patio which is covered and heated as well. Service was great. Food was great as well. Tacos here were good. I ordered the Fajitas de Carne--delish. Wish the tables were a bit bigger just to accommodate the large plates. Parking sucks here, but park on Mann Ave and cut through the 7/11 to get to the restaurant. I'd come back for sure. read more

First and LAST time at Mezcals. We went there for the first time and just ordered some appetizers. Waiter asked if we wanted all at once or as they were ready. We said as it was ready. We got 1 of the 5 appetizers within a long 10 minutes. Then nothing for 30 mins. We were asked if we wanted more chips as we waited... We replied yes but we never got chips.. I tried getting the waiters attention 3 times but.... *sigh* A guy that sat down AFTER we ordered got his whole meal before we got our appetizers. Also, the super nachos come with chorizo AND steak for an extra $5 but they charged me $7 and would not relent even after I showed them on the menu where it says $5 extra. The female manager looked like she couldn't be bothered coming to the table to resolve. Paid for the 1 appetizer we actually got and left. NEVER again. read more

Mezcals Mexican Restaurant - Chorizo & Steak for $5 - Mexican Near Me - Staten Island, New York

New to Staten Island looking for a Mexican place. I liked the one in bayridge so thought I'd give it a try. I. Ordered online, they charged me items NOT ordered and when I showed them my order they said I was wrong. I left and then compared the order with my receipt only to find the charges me for items I didn't order and they didn't give me. I went back and they again told me I was wrong. Eventually I got a refund but not without issue. The food was just ok and it looks like a cute restaurant but I won't go back. read more

Perfect service. Ordered nachos with chorizo- husband loves nachos but it's not my fave. The guacamole on it was delicious. Two other appetizers, huge!, stuffed jalapeños with shrimp in cream sauce and shrimp Diablo-- not as spicy s as I thought it would be. The salsa that comes with the chips was spicier and awesome! But they charged extra for some more salsa. I hate that kind of "nickel and diming" Coconut margarita was delicious but weak. I'd like to go back to try more dishes; this place has a large interesting menu. Place looks like a hole in the wall. read more

Ordered a combo platter for take out. There items packed together all were mushy and tasteless. Hard taco shell fell apart. Burrito was meat wrapped in a soft taco. Wife ordered a burrito and liked it. Save your money read more

This is really funning today 7/24/23 We are here at Mezcals Mexican on Bradley Ave Staten Island with our friends. The food was delicious. We had the New Zealand mussels for an appetizer, and the guacamole, which is outrageous, and we all had different varieties of food which were delicious we had the chicken fajitas and enchiladas & chinameca , paella Marina .. the margaritas were delicious and the service was excellent read more

The pitchers are amazing and the food is wonderful. This is our place- you know you will get amazing food and great margaritas, highly recommend! read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years and I will never be back. I went in tonight and was ignored by the tall female manager when i asked for a pitcher of Sangriá. I was told i had to wait for the rest of my party to arrive and she rolled her eyes. I have done this before with other servers and they always got my drinks immediately. She also made rude comments the last time after she messed up our order and brought us the wrong smoothie. If this restaurant wants any success she should not be dealing with any customers. They have also decreased their portion size on fajitas and there was barely any chicken last time I got them. They are going downhill, look how many 1 reviews on the last few pages. GARBAGE! read more

My wife and I ate there 3 or 4 times, and every time something was wrong with order's. The most annoying part was the rice; it was always under cooked/raw. It was annoying cause you had to wait for a new order to be prepared, and that was an additional 15 to 20 minutes. So tonight, since we haven't been for some time now and raining as well, we decided to order takeout, our favorite dish, Chapala Rice it comes with usually 6 sizeable shrimps and 4 scallops'. WARNING: So usually, they serve you plenty of rice and the accompanied shrimp and scallops. Well guess what, the rice was worse this time around, moist but raw, and not very much of it, very hard to chew. The typical serving from last year, the rice was enough at times for 2, tonight it was just enough for 1, OK, now the shrimps, we received only 4 over cooked and only 3 scallops undercooked. Last year this dish cost $18 with beans, avocado, salsa and chips, tonight we added a small chicken soup, the BILL $37. Usually I call them and complain, in lieu of complaining I decided to WARN the public to eat elsewhere. I really don't appreciate having to pay more for less, so my wife and I decided to Abandon MEZCALS for good. NO me gusta mas. read more

Great margaritas, great staff, wonderful enchiladas, nice ambiance. Just wish that they delivered. I won't use third party delivery services, always a nightmare. I hope they will reconsider getting a delivery person... read more

Outstanding service Extremely attentive WOW for the food They take pride in their presentation and service It shows Shrimp stuffed mushrooms were outstanding app ! Fish tacos on special YES ! Work your way around the menu . Oh read more

I never write bad reviews but this was really disappointing. I wanted to take my mom out to dinner as we've been stressed because my father has been in the hospital for three weeks she wanted Mexican so we decided to try Mezcals. When we got there, there were no two tops so the hostess took our name as we wanted to sit outside. We went to the car to wait which was right in front. She called so we went right over. There was another couple that got there way after us that she asked if they wanted to sit outside so they got our table. Then she sat us inside right next to the door and said it would be 25 minutes if we wanted to sit outside. I said "weren't we here before them" and she said yes but she asked them first. It was a really uncomfortable table and dampened our night so we left. I've worked in some super high end restaurants and this is not good service. It was almost as if she knew them and gave them our table. Never again. read more

Says open on Monday drove all the way there for nothing!! Closed!!! Update your hours !!

Uggh Mezcal where do I start? Okay so I really liked the whole decor and outdoor vibe. The place is very small and only has room for a certain amount of people. Located and hidden in Staten Island I suppose the best way to hear about this place is through word of mouth. Which is how I heard about it. I had such high hopes for Mezcal especially since Mexican food is at the top of my list. We ordered some pretty cool "titled"plates. However, The mussels had no taste, they did have an after taste of the ocean. Uggh I hate that. They had no guacamole! What??? That alone threw me for a loop. Avocados are in season now please buy some! We ordered Enchilladas which were decent and had some flavor. It's so disappointing because They have a pretty extensive menu which leads me to believe they specialize in these dishes. However, it seems as if they invested in a menu but not a chef. Overall the food was tasteless, SO Mezcal is hidden más that's where they will remain. Sorry Mezcal I had such high hopes. Maybe keep your menu simple so the expectations are not that great. read more

Literally up the block from me if I dine in or takeout food is always DELICIOUS! If your on the island I MUST TRY !!!

While many other restaurants told us their limited outdoor dining areas were full on a Friday night, Mezcal's welcomed us in to their spacious, heated outdoor dining space furnished with unique and authentic Mexican decor. For starters we had the tapatios - mushrooms stuffed with shrimp in a spicy creamy sauce. Delicious is an understatement. It was perfectly cooked and the portion was big enough for two to share. Definitely ordering again Jalapeño margaritas were incredible. They were refreshing and freshly made - none of the mix out of a packet. Authentic and delicious. I had the manteca pork which came with rice and beans. It was another huge portion, and flavored richly throughout the entire dish. The food had an authentic, home style feel to it. One of the best restaurants on the island - and prices are a steal for what this place has to offer read more

I was interested bc of the reviews but as a Mexican I was disappointed with the food it was very bland and not worth it at all I left as soon as I took a bite I paid anyway for it. Service was good they just need a new chef or something read more

Delicious shrimp steak and scallops with the roasted red peppers and onions. Tortilla was home made and delicious. The rice n beans could use more flavor as tasted plain. read more

Been there a couple times before and the food was really good but tonight they not only took extra long but made me feel they were rushing us out and then had the audacity to charge a 20% gratuity for a table of 3? Smh. No bueno. read more

I love this place. Authentic mexican food and the absolute best margarita I've ever had

I had pork in Adobe sauce with a Margarita. The pork was overdone and got cold before I could finish chewing it. The margarita was OK, packed a punch and had a very pretty glass but wasn't refreshing. $30 for one person.. It was okay but I wouldn't go again. Also the parking situation is FUBAR.. I was asked to move my car, twice, during my stay. At first I was going to get takeout, because I was blocking someone in. Then I was persuaded to move my car so I could sit and enjoy myself, which sounded good.. Except I blocked in another person who asked me to move in the middle of my meal. If they reserved the inside row for staff only maybe that would help? Idk. read more

The wife and I came to Mezcal's earlier today for lunch. There are not many Mexican places to dine at that are not a chain in this area. They opened about 8 years ago. What piqued my interest was another establishment about a week ago in the same little strip mall. At that time I took a peek in and decided I needed to try it soon. For an appetizer we shared the Chori-Nachos. It was not a huge order but just enough to whet your appetite and bringing some heat with plenty of jalapeño. The Mrs. ordered off the appetizer menu having the Papanita. Which was a flour tortilla quesadilla stuffed with shrimp, spinach, jalapeños and melted cheese it was covered with a tomatillo sauce. I went with the number one combo which consisted of a beef taco, chicken enchilada and chicken tostada. It was served with a large plate of refried beans and rice. The service was very good though the prices were a little steep for Staten Island. Lunch was $45. But, we didn't leave hungry and still had something to bring home. Though at first glance at the menu $8 may seem a little expensive for a margarita it is worth it. Served in a large glass and definitely has a kick. It is a charming little place. Looks can be deceiving when you first walk in but the outdoor patio teleports you to a little cantina in Mexico, or perhaps Arizona. There are plenty of plants and artwork on the walls and Mexican music playing in the background. If it was Manhattan I'd go 4 stars. read more

Very good steak, great guacamole. Excellent service and an awesome drink menu. Brought my wife there for a date night and she enjoy everything just as much. 10/10 will go again read more

We love this place. Great sangria, fantastic service and delicious mexican food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended

We have dined here more often than at any other restaurant on Staten Island. The Mocambo is excellent. The Carnitas are also good and zesty. My favorite is the Mole Poblano. The Guacamole is mild but good. The seafood has a fresh taste. Their combo platters are great tasting and the portions on most their dishes are filling. Very Friendly staff. Relatively quick service. Nice selection of beers. Good Mararitas. read more

Omg the best Paella I've ever had!!! Its kinda soupy and hearty!!! Soooo good. Nice size and meaty lobster tail.

Nope never again - food had no flavor - soggy food - just a big no and a waste of money friends - make ya own Mexican - it will come our way better read more

Disappointing food for takeout. The quesadilla was soggy and greasy and wasn't prepared like a a quesadilla at all ! There was barely any chicken filling either. The taco salad was on a greasy taco shell with rubbery steak. The enchiladas' chicken filling was dry and flavorless. The order or rice and beans was a tiny scoop of rice with a small side of beans. Overpriced and disappointing. We will not be going back! read more

This is without a doubt, bar none the best authentic Mexican restaurant on Staten Island. Moises and his beautiful daughters and amazing staff will make sure that you get the most amazing food and drinks. Don't drive past this spot, pull over and eat. read more

I've been here twice before -- once with friends and once with families. This is hands down the best Mexican spot on the island. It's family owned and the service is amazing. It is a small place and parking is tight but the extremely delicious, fresh food makes it worth it. Definitely recommend the guac and chips and any type of fajitas they serve. Love this place! read more

Made a reservation for 7:30 last night, got there ten minutes early and the hostess told us she gave our reserved table away cause someone got mad, ok so we were three people that ended up leaving cause we weren't able to be told when we would be seated, the restaurant and the hostess really need to study what reservations are and how they work, the new staff is awful, not what is used to be at all! read more

A nice day place for Mexican food on Staten Island, I highly recommend it. They serve tasty burritos and tacos with nachos.

Absolutely delicious. Covered outside dining. Sangria is excellent. Service is excellent!!
