    Sal S.

    This place is great love conking here and enjoy the food all the time. Can't wait to come here again

    Very friendly staff, homemade food. Restroom were the cleanest I've been in, very nice change. Ordered chorizo with eggs plate. Authentic except for the flour tortillas. Also had a soup called Carne en su Juego, which is steak, whole beans with bacon in a tomatillo broth. Delicious!! Must try..

    Great food great service wonderful people and food taste amazing. The burrito was delicious

    I really wanted to like this place. I read the reviews and I was excited to try it, we are always looking for good Mexican food. First off I have to say, the people working there were very nice... the 2 stars are for the service. The food... not so good. I asked if they taco shell was fried there like with a tortilla and she said yes. It clearly was a Taco Bell type of shell, pre-made. The chicken in the taco was cubes of chicken! I have never had a chicken taco with hard cubes of chicken. It's usually shredded and soft. Not what I would've ordered had I known. The tamale had little to no meat in it and a watery sauce on it. The rice and beans? Bland... little to no flavor. The rice did not taste like Mexican rice. I had to apologize to my hubby for suggesting we go there... we both felt like we threw our money away.

    Drive by this place all the time and finally decided to try it. The place was pretty busy, but the service was very fast and friendly. The Al pastor tacos and burrito were so good! While there we saw a lot of people coming and getting food to go. We will definitely be back.

    Very good food and excellent service. Walked in and was seated immediately, he was very happy and fun to talk to. Food was amazing. Had the chorizo and eggs, as well as the Al pastor plate. Would definitely go back again.

    Stopped by here after a weekend in Bear Valley celebrating the wedding of two friends. The groom recommended stopping here on our way home, so naturally, we decided to make the quick detour and see what El Mezcal was all about. I wasn't really in the mood for Mexican food when I set out to find a new place to eat that morning, but I figured trusting the groom's opinion was the least I could do, following a beautiful weekend and ceremony. He was absolutely right about El Mezcal, too, because the food was not only delicious, but also very reasonably priced! I opened up the menu and found myself unsure of what to get. Tacos? Probably. But a shrimp burrito sounded good, too. Wait, they have tostadas! It took a second to decide, but I ended up mixing and matching. Why not get a bit of everything? I opted for three tacos: shrimp, carne asada, and pastor, and a chicken tostada. They were all great! I'd like to say that I savored the dish enough to allow a perfect description of each bite. It was all excellent, but I'd be lying to you if I told you I took my time on this meal. I inhaled my lunch here, and it was absolutely worth it. With tax, the total came to $12 for everything. An incredible deal for how much food I got, but also the quality and variety I was given. If you find yourself driving through San Andreas after a long weekend in wine country or camping, make it a point to stop by El Mezcal and grab a taco. Or 4. Definitely grab 4.

    After living in the area for two years, I never ate here but drove by it all the time. Tonight I…read moredecided to give it a try. Walking in the place had a great vibe with some upbeat Latin hits playing on Pandora. The chips and salsa were ok, nothing special but decent. However to meal was very good as was the service. We ordered a tamale, enchilada, burrito and chile relleno to try the various flavors. The Chile Relleno was tasty. Huge poblano pepper, nice red sauce and the breading was a light spongy texture that has the right amount of thickness without being overly breaded. The tamale and enchilada, both chicken with verde sauce was excellent. The tamale was very moist unlike many that are dry. The tamale held together when cut rather than falling apart but that is just a personal preference as to how you like your tamale. The burrito was very large and extremely tasty as we ordered the super burrito. One of the tastier burritos I had in the area. The highlight was the flan. That was how you say "fire" or as I say SCINTILLATING! Nice thick custard consistency, not gritty and a perfect caramel color and sauce. I could eat this all night with coffee. All in all I can see why Angels got Best of the Best awards many years in a row. I'll be back for the fajitas and a few other tasty sounding dishes. 4.5 stars

    Food was excellent in a traditional restaurant setting. They were under staffed, but our waitress…read moredid a great job considering they really could have used another waitress/waiter. We'll be back again.
