I decided to sit at the bar since I was flying solo and just wanted a quick bite before going home. The decor on the inside is funky - almost like a club. The outside is absolutely gorgeous. I think they currently have it decorated to honor Dia de los Muertos and wow is it gorgeous. I grabbed a Diet Pepsi and just went with the first thing that caught my eye - the quesadilla bowl. Not sure what they're doing in the back but that Diet Pepsi was delightfully crisp. Like WOW. On its own it brought me back to life. And despite it feeling quite busy, they got my quesadilla bowl out to me quickly. Y'all - I am not sure what I was expecting. I mean, I read the description and it had me at shrimp, chicken, rice, beans, and guac, but this blew me away. I don't think I will ever stop thinking about how good this quesadilla bowl was. It had a ring of cheese quesadilla on the edge of the bowl! The flavors of the bowl were amazing, and it was plenty of food. I took some home and had them for lunch the next day. All in all, the meal was $25, which I feel is pretty reasonable for the amount of and quality of food you get. Definitely worth a stop in. I have heard people rave about Mezcalito for years and now you can add me to the list.

Overall good experience again! Tried some new things:…read more - Torta Cubana: Hefty sandwich with like 3 different meats (including sausage & chorizo), fried egg, avocado, onions, lettuce, tomato. A little salty, but balances out with the spicy salsa they provide. - Camarones Ala Mexicana Platter: Good if you want a lighter, healthier feeling option. - Quessabirrias: Honestly, felt a little too greasy for me & the consommé wasn't super deep in flavor. It was okay. - Pupusa con Pollo: I think the pupusas will be my favorite item to get here! - Horchata: Love their horchata; super cinnamon-y and refreshing. Fast service during weekday dinnertime; fine ambiance. 9/10 would recommend!

The veggies were tasty, but not super varied (some places have grilled tomato and summer squash, this was mostly peppers and onions with a tiny bit of mushroom and zucchini). The refried beans and rice were very tasty. The service was perfectly pleasant. The ambiance was nice- lots of comfortable booths and a family friendly atmosphere. Probably would not go back.
