Ambience: 10/10.
The moment you walk into Mezcal, you feel like you’re anywhere but New Jersey. The atmosphere is incredible — they nailed it.
Drinks:
The cocktails are over-the-top, with a full-on performance when they’re served. If you’re into Instagram moments, you’ll love it. Personally, I’m more of a “just give me the drink and let’s move on” type.
Service:
Staff was super friendly and attentive all night. We never felt rushed, and everyone was genuinely welcoming.
Food:
You’re definitely getting what you pay for — high-quality dishes with high-quality ingredients.
I had the steak and pork tacos, the octopus starter, and we shared the tomahawk steak as our main. The steak came with chimichurri and cowboy butter — highly recommend adding both.
MUST ORDER: The corn. Seriously, it might be the best thing on the menu.
Overall:
I’m giving Mezcal a 4/5.
It’s a really cool spot, and the Mexican dishes are unique — but for me, it just wasn’t “Mexican enough.”
Definitely worth checking out once, but not sure it’s a regular return spot.
Cost: I spent about $400.
