    The atmosphere was energetic, exactly what we were looking for. The drinks were great, however, the food itself was just ok. The taste of the food was too salty.

    Fortunate enough to be there during happy hour - awesome that they have happy hour specials on Saturdays! Waiter was good, food was good (we had ceviche, burgers and al pastor tacos) and cocktails were fun.

    Took forever for a server to come over and when she did, she put a carafe if water on the table and walked away but ended up saying hi before her. Odd. The mezcal Bloody Mary was not good. Too much spice and very bitter. It was t a good pairing to have with any food.

    The Margaritas are delicious, but I have a hard time getting excited about the rest of the menu.

    Mezcalito is always a mixed bag. We've had great service and food while at other times I wouldn't recommend ever going. Today we tried their weekend brunch for the 1st time. I had the Challah French toast and it was barely warm and very dry. My wife had a carnitas omelet that was not even ok. For brunch service they don't offer any espresso coffees nor they have decaf or ice tea. I would not recommend Mezcalito for brunch. Way to many other places who understand the concept.
