I know when I worked in the mall and had a long enough break, it was wonderful to pop in and grab a quick genuine meal before heading back to work. If you're looking for delicious, fresh, and authentic Mexican food, I highly recommend this place!

We've tried three times. The chips aren't fresh, the salsa is bland and plain, the tortillas are store bought, AND WHERE IS THE HOT SAUCE? Is anything homemade? It doesn't seem so. It's fairly pricey for what you get also. Definitely not worth another visit - but again, it's all there is. Shame though. Maybe the drinks are good?

Well worth the short drive from Ithaca.

Friends invited my wife and I out to El Mezquite over the weekend, so we gave them a shot. First off, did not realize until we got there that the place in inside of a hotel, so that was an interesting discovery. We were sat immediately, given menus, had our order taken & food brought to us in a timely fashion. My wife ordered chile relleno while I ordered tacos de diablas - three tacos with steak, chorizo, and a spicy red sauce. Most of my party was happy with their food. Mine was fine, although the meat was a bit rubbery and the red sauce wasn't very spicy, but I suppose my problem with El Mezquite is the same as most of the Mexican restaurants in the same area - I'm convinced they all just order the exact same stuff from the same place. El Mezquite's menu is the exact same as most other Mexican restaurants in the area, same offerings, even the rice tastes exactly the same in all these places, so I'm becoming less and less convinced there's any authenticity for most of the places in CNY. That said, the food was fine, our service was fine as well, but I don't believe we'd return for the simple fact that we can find the exact same dishes at other, closer establishments.

The only thing keeping this from being a 5 - star review was FOX NEWS on the TV Its not the vibe for a calm lunch. Something more neutral like the cooking channel would have been more fitting in my opinion but its not my TV :). Worth trying is you like Mexican.

Last summer, the dining room was so hot that people took their dishes outdoor to the picnic tables to eat. Tres Primos has good food and lots of it so it's often very crowded at dinner time. We were fortunate to have come for an early dinner and were the only diners on a snowy day. Service is with a smile and the people that work here seem to enjoy each other's company and enjoy serving customers. The tables and chairs are the best, colorful with beautiful depictions of Mexico. For whatever you order, be prepared to have it served on a platter that's fit for a king, or in my case queen. Food is good and fresh. There is plenty to drink, including a variety of beers and cocktails . There's nothing like drinking a corona to top off a Mexican meal. I ordered what is really a sampler plate with a little bit of everything. I had a Chalupa, a quesadilla, tacos, and a member of other things. Of course, this comes complete with rice and beans. Needless to say, I had a second meal with the leftovers the following night. P.S., they have very good salsa that is served as soon as you were seated with your chips. Don't be afraid to ask for a refill.
