Was in the area visiting family and we were looking for a quick, easy bite when we came across Casa Mezcal--our first time here. We stopped in on a Tuesday evening and were seated right away. It wasn't busy when we arrived, and while it did start to fill up, there was never a wait. The restaurant itself was clean and casual, and they do serve alcohol (it looked like they have happy hour specials as well, though we didn't try any). They brought out complimentary chips and salsa to start, with a note on the menu that a second basket comes with a charge. One thing to be aware of: the chips are not made in a dedicated fryer, so they aren't gluten-free. Service was a bit of a mixed experience. There was definitely a language barrier, which made communication difficult at times--our questions often had to go through multiple staff members before we got an answer. Food came out pretty quickly, which we appreciated since we were in a rush. That said, there were some hits and misses. I ordered tacos al pastor but was given steak tacos instead. I tried to explain the mix-up, but it wasn't resolved, and due to time, I just ate them. Unfortunately, the steak was overcooked and tough, and the tacos themselves were very basic--just meat on a corn tortilla, with extras like sour cream costing more. On the plus side, my nephew really enjoyed his kids' cheese quesadilla and fries (the fries looked crispy and well-made). Someone in our group liked the chorizo quesadilla, and another had the birria tacos and thought they were just okay--nothing standout, especially compared to other places. Pricing felt a bit high for the portion size and overall quality. There is a small parking lot, but we didn't have trouble finding a spot, which is always a plus. Overall, Casa Mezcal was convenient and quick, but between the order mix-up, inconsistent food quality, and communication challenges, it didn't fully hit the mark for us. I'd consider giving it another try if I were in the area, but with adjusted expectations. read more

Don't order takeout from here. Forgot my drink and my cutlery can't even eat my dinner.

Casa Mezcal advertises Margarita Monday, $6 for classic margaritas. Awesome. My husband and I are frequent customers of the restaurant, just usually on weekends. We went tonight as it is his birthday and $6 Margaritas? Win-win!! First, I asked for beans instead is rice with my meal. I got rice. Ok, no big deal. Then we get our bill...charged full price for the margaritas. So we ask the waitress. Apparently you have to TELL them you are there for Margarita Monday to get the reduced price. What? Why?? Are they weaker? All the waitress said was that she was "sorry," guess what you just lost a frequent customer. read more

It was our first visit. We were treated like family. The food was wonderful and the service was great. We will be back!!

No VEGAN options. They have a vegan section on the menu but the rice is cooked in chicken broth. And we spoke to several employees who made it clear that they 1) don't understand what vegan is and 2) don't care. The boss man said we are not a vegan place when I showed him on their menu that it says they have vegan section. It's okay not to have vegan options but don't advertise that you do is all. read more

This local gem was amazing! We were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The cozy cultural decoration was very inviting. The menu had many options and tons of drink/beverage options. We decided to go light with just appetizers. So we went with the chicken empanadas and the birria tacos along with my passion fruit frozen margarita. Everything was delicious. Our server was super friendly and made sure to check on us regularly. It was a pleasant surprise close to home. When in the mood for Mexican give it a shot. read more

When it first opened, the portions were generous and the food seemed more authentic than it does now. Once they became popular, the portions got smaller and it seems like they're cutting corners - even though the price has gone up. It's more on the side of fast food than it is authentic . The meat is frequently over cooked and tough. I love chicken enchiladas' and the last time I got them I barely ate them and picked at my husband's plate. read more

Authentic Mexican restaurant with Authentic service and cocktails as well as fare. Excellent quality and service. We felt the Mexian atmosphere while dining. Lovely little hideaway. read more

good service, great staff, really good food with lots of options though a little expensive, fair wait times

Second visit was even better than the first! Great food, fun atmosphere, nice staff - very efficient, everyone's order was correct in our party of ten, and the margarita was sooooo good! We enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, the guacamole and queso were a hit, and all entrees were enjoyed. read more

Really like the place. Food is really good. People are nice. But for crying out loud turn the music down to a reasonable volume. People want to be able to speak to each other when they eat. This is only an issue on weekend evening. read more

it's your soft opening n I have two suggestions easily fixable 1. do not sweep near a customer as they are eating ... takes away from dining experience 2. get rid of Fabioso cleaning spray ... it's so strong in scent that I could not smell the delicious food I'm eating all I smell is the cleaning spray ... find a non scent spray that cleans well food delicious Guac delicious I'll b coming back once you open ... hard! read more

Casagave - Delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Elkton, Maryland

The margaritas were strong! Just the way I like them! I order the burrito supreme which was delicious! After dinner I ordered a dish of Grier ice cream. I wanted coffee, but they had none. I then ordered Kula with cream, no cream! The restaurant was truly authentic. The food was delicious! I was somewhat disappointed with the level of service, average. The manager was more attentive than the waitress. So, I will return ! read more

My rating is a 3.5 amicably rounded up to a 4. food rating is like a 3/5 though. Drinks were excellent. Vibe was pretty cool. there was a chill uncle giving salsa lessons lol. I did not enjoy the food. the refried beans were good and the pico de gallo tasted nice and fresh. My plate of carnitas was lukewarm in the middle tho so idk how to feel about that. Bean nachos also weren't great for me. At every restaurant, certain dishes get more attention than others... I can usually pick that out but today I did not pick meals that were made with care lol i'll put it like that. Personally, this place will not be going on my list. I know how I feel about my lukewarm carnitas now. read more

This is the third time we've eaten here and the entire experience was a bummer. They give you a tiny bowl of chips and barely any salsa to start. Of course we asked for more because it is good stuff. Wife and I got our fajita plates and we had to ask for more sour crème because they hardly give you any. Also, who doesn't give shredded cheese with fajitas so we asked for some of that. Steak was chewy and had a lot of grisle. Stuffed jalepenos came with no dipping sauce. When we were finished eating and chatting the waitress, I guess because she thought we weren't ordering any more drinks, was no where to be found. I dont think we saw her for at least 15 minutes. Finally i had to stop her and ask for the bill. When we got the bill, we found that all the items that we shouldnt have had to ask for in the first place, we were charged for! $2 for a small dollop of sour crème! $2 for a small bowl of cheddar cheese! $1.50 for an extra bowl of salsa so we could finish our chips! Honestly we won't be going back to this place. read more

One of the first things you'll notice here are signs thanking you for your patience. The staff appreciates being busy serving others and promises to get to you as soon as possible! Secondly, the food is delicious! In addition to all the standard Mexican dishes, your taste buds will be delighted by the diverse and rich flavors available. Finally, the environment is welcoming to both large parties and smaller families. And I haven't mentioned the bar -so many options you'll need to see for yourself! read more

I love this place. The food,price and atmosphere are great. My go to wherever I get to pick.

When you think of a Mexican restaurant, this is what I see in my mind. The food was on point. My drink was great. A lil strong but I am okay with that. The service was great. Very attentive staff. I love the good vibes wall of decor. It's definitely a little hole in the wall but what an amazing find. read more

We came here after looking for a Mexican restaurant in Elkton on Yelp. The place is newer, well decorated and a great atmosphere. We were seated quickly. Our waitress, never gave her name, was very helpful in pointing out their special dishes. My wife had the Hawaiian Fajita and I had the Burrito Texano. We also had stuffed Jalepenos. The stuffed Jalepenos were the only low point of the meal. The cheese wasn't melted, still cold? Not sure if this is a cooking style or was a result of being a frozen food. The Burrito was perfect, with shrimp, chicken and steak. Meats were well seasoned and prepared. The Hawaiian fajita came out in a half pineapple and tasted great. The fixings were all fresh and tastey. The only other drawback was a 3% charge for credit. Bring cash read more

Very rude and not even close to worth the price nor inconvenient location. If you post hours open til 10pm you should be open and serving til 10pm... not 9:20.... Nope... won't get my money again! read more

This place has become a family favorite. The food is great and the drinks are really good too. I absolutely love the flaming margarita. They also treat us like family whenever we go. The service is top notch. Highly recommend! read more

Food and staff are always great. It is nice to have a spot that serves real Latin food. Cocktails are great too.

Juan our waiter was amazing, funny, providing great recommendations. Food was outstanding. Wife got the chicken fajitas. I got the Baritta tacos. We had empanadas for apps. And the chocolate filled churros were delicious end to the meal...oh and they put a FLAMING SHOT in a cut LIME in their house margarita!! Maybe we found our new Mexican spot! Will need to try the other dishes. read more

Casa Mezcal is so good. I've been twice in 3 days! The customer service is excellent. As soon as you arrive, you are greeted and they offer complimentary chips and salsa...it's really good. For dinner, I ordered the empanada appetizer (4) $12, but I chose 2 chicken and 2 beef empanadas. It comes with some type of cheese sauce on it, not too crazy about it but it was good. I also ordered a side of beans and rice. It's really good. The best I've had in a long time. For a cocktail, I chose the Golden Margarita ($13) it was good but kinda costly for a Mexican restaurant. I've typically seen margaritas priced around $8-$10. For $13, I'd expect top shelf or close enough. But no big deal...I'd still enjoy another one. Only negative thing about this place is parking. It's very limited. The restaurant shares its parking space with a gas station store, bank, etc. The shopping center is kind of small and located on a back road. This location has had restaurants come and go, this is probably the 4th or 5th restaurant I am aware of! But I think they'll be here for a long time. It just opened up and it's been busy. Parking lot stays packed! Also, the restaurant is pretty small so I wouldn't suggest a party of more than 6-8 people. I believe 8 is pushing it (tables small). Check it out, it's finally an authentic Mexican restaurant in Cecil County. read more

Wow! What a find! Awesome food, awesome service, awesome drinks! Can't wait to go back! Yes. It deserves that many exclamation points!! Especially our server Juan. He was super nice and helpful with our difficult table of 8 which included 2 vegetarians, 1 vegan and 1 gluten free/dairy free. We had a reservation to celebrate our daughter's graduation from University of Delaware today. It was a great choice. Casa Mezcal Margarita was tasty and fun. Comes to table on fire. Our daughter loved the Coco Loco - Juan said it was his fave. Our table ordered and totally enjoyed Veggie fajitas, Birria Tacos, enchiladas supreme, veg enchiladas trio, and Tilapia with shrimp. We have a reason to come back to Elkton now read more

I ordered the birria tacos, which were very good. The consumme was delicious. The dish came with rice and beans, a very small portion, which were both tasteless. The guac wasn't that great. Chipotle's guac tastes better. I also got a side of salsa, which was just ok - also bland. :( I'm not sure if the small portions were because I did a carryout order, but I was disappointed. read more

Decent Mexican food. It was kind of meh like most Mexican food around the MD/DE area.

Casa Mezcal is an authentic Mexican food restaurant in Elkton, Maryland. They have dine in and carry out. I get carry out orders. The tortilla chips are home made and the food is excellent from burritos, enchiladas, tacos and more. Atmosphere has Latin music in the background with a few TVs around the bar. Clean and service is good. One of my favorite spots in Elkton. read more

The food was great! The service was as friendly, attentive, and fast as any place we've ever been. Very highly recommended.

This business is off to a GREAT start! I entered for a meal shortly after 5pm on a Friday, was immediately greeted and offered my choice of seating section. I chose to sit at the bar. A young man who appeared to possibly be in a leadership role took my drink order (a classic margarita) and left drink & food menus for me. All of the staff was engaged & every one was smiling and productive. I felt comfortable and welcomed in the environment as a solo diner. Great job, folks! It's evident you enjoy working as a team. So good to see and experience!! I had fried chicken chimichangas and they were delicious! read more

Great new place, service was prompt during lunchtime. I had the shrimp tacos. They were very good, and came with rice and a small bowl of black beans. The menu is very full of choices and the bar seems perfect to watch a game at. read more

The food is hot and delicious here! Lots of wonderful drink options, including signature mezcala drinks. The booths feel a little cramped so I would try getting a regular table. This is a good roadside stop for any traveling family or individuals. I would say the one unique thing they have is taquitos, I don't see those too often out of the several resturants I've been to in the area before. Service is nice, the employees get things done and it's a very relaxed environment. read more
