    a table and chairs in a restaurant
    Donna M.

    I was taking a Sunday drive in the country & decided to stop @ El Mezcal. Two cars were parked in front @ 6pm. I immediately liked the layout & atmosphere, & the attitude of the employees. Then people began streaming in. By 6:20, the Main Dining Room was almost filled with parties of 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 in addition to booths & tables of 4. I ordered the San Jose' Special ~ Deep-fried shredded Beef Burrito, Shredded Chicken Taquito topped with lettuce, tomato, cheese, & sour cream, Served with Rice & Beans ($8.99). It was very good. I will return & try other dishes.

    Burrito San Jose w steak! Mezcal is a favorite with our family, both for dine-in and carry out. The food is consistent, always served quickly, tastes great and the service is always very good. Mezcal is a "tried and true" favorite in the Arlington area.

    Quick Mexico restaurant, cost effective with good quality of food. Had dined couple of times, enjoyed pan gilled beef and chicken, plenty of food with reasonable price.

    Food was very stale and service wasn't very good. Prices were very high. Would come more often if service was better .

    The food was good but the prices have went through the roof. 2 dinners and a large cheese dip was 47.75, we will not be eating there again.

    First time trying out Street Tacos and we were very impressed. The tacos were excellent. The chips…read morethat come with the tacos are freshly fried; crisp and delicious. The Mexican Street Rice was next level good. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, but it has a pretty cool vibe and the decor is nice. We will be back next time we are eating lunch out in Oakland.

    This is such a cool little spot to get good, hot and fresh food…read more We ordered the Volcano Chicken Tacos and the Veggie Street Rice with shrimp added. The tacos were delicious but the name is misleading. My husband thought it would come drizzled in some kind of spicy sauce given the name, but it was just chicken, cheese and onions. It was still really tasty though. I had the rice and while it was well seasoned, it lacked something else. I think a creamy sauce would knock this dish out of the world. If I ever order it again, I'll be sure to request a cream based sauce, or order a side of sour cream. The service was fast but we also came during a time where they didn't have crowd. If you're dining in, your order will come with a bottle of salsa verde and a bottle of spicy red salsa. Also, the music was great at the time we went, they were playing bachata and it took everything in me not to get up and dance. I'd recommend this place and plan to return. Oakland needs more variety like this little gem.
