Business associate meeting. Outstanding service and good food. I personally am a big fan of the Mole Rojo. As with almost all restaurants today, the noise level is pretty high

Food was great! Really enjoy the sides. My wife had the ribeye and was very pleased. The shrimp were very tasty. We like Mez so we’ll we were there celebrating our 43 anniversary. My favorite place to eat in the triangle!

Seemed like they were either trying to turn our table quickly, or move us out so they could go home. Either way, at 7:30p it was annoying. Rush, rush, rush... Margo's were ok, but expensive. The carnitas was ok, but nothing to write home about. Maybe for lunch it would be better??

Was on a girls weekend & chose Mez for dinner one of the evenings. It was delightful! Delicious wine & food. I asked for my quesadilla to be prepared without onions. The manager caught my meal before it was just about to be served and came over to me to apologize that my dinner would be delayed. And then didn’t charge for it! I thanked her profusely & complimented her on the lovely waitress we had. A class act establishment. I have been there before and will definitely go back!

We were seated very quickly, and the wait staff was attentive but not obtrusive. The food - grilled avocado salad with shrimp for me and tacos for my business partner - came out FAST. It was tasty as well.

Mez is a good Mexican door restaurant. I would not consider it the best or the worst. It's good. I'm glad I tried it because I had heard other talk about it. I might return but would not go out of my way to do so.

Great place for a birthday for adults who don’t want singing waitstaff and goofy hats. Lovely meal and a fantastic wait staff. Great with my gluten sensitivity too.

Food quality was worse than any fast-food joint. Nachos were too salty almost inedible. Beef tacos were cold we sent them back but the result did not change. They served tacos 5 minutes after the order which makes me wonder if they were frozen microwaved because the meat did not taste like grilled. They were nice enough to reduce the bill due to dissatisfaction but it Siri not make me any happier because this place was recommended and I was looking forward to a good hearty Mexican

My party of 4 was promptly seated with recognition of my open table reservation. Our server was very attentive and menu knowledgeable. Everyone enjoyed their respective entrees. Overall a good evening and a good meal!
