I've been here a few times and always enjoy the experience. The chicken pozole verde is comforting and not too heavy, the chicken mole is good (though not the traditional style I was expecting), and the chocolate lava cake is a great way to end the meal. The atmosphere is beautiful, service is solid - definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

My friends and I visited Mesa Mezcal before a concert at the Toyota Music Factory and had a great experience. We started with the Dip Trio (queso, guacamole, and salsa roja with tortilla chips). The guacamole had large chunks of avocado that made it a little tricky to scoop, the queso was tasty but not really warm, and the salsa definitely had more of a spicy kick than I expected. I was surprised to see Penne Pasta with Shrimp on a Mexican restaurant menu, so I had to try it for my entree. The serving was huge, with plenty of shrimp, and the presentation was really good. The real standout was the guajillo cream sauce. It was rich, flavorful, and a perfect match for the pasta, which was cooked just right. The cotija cheese on top tied the dish together. I will definitely order this again if it stays on the menu. Bryan, our server, did a fantastic job making sure everything was smooth and quickly fixed the small adjustments we needed. Overall, Mesa Mezcal was a great pre-concert choice with good food, generous portions, and attentive service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Stayed at the hotel for a work trip and was able to try a few different times and services. Breakfast is great service and excellent food. Apple smoked chicken sausage and breakfast quesadilla were excellent. Avocado toast was good, but I would try something different next time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Happy hour: A good margarita for $6 and some other solid menu options I did not sample.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Evening drinks: We stopped by around 9:30 PM hoping for a quick nightcap, but were told they couldn't seat us due to being understaffed. From what we could see, the bar seating wasn't full and there were four employees behind the bar, which made the situation feel a bit puzzling. I do understand staffing issues can be tough. We ended up grabbing a drink across the street to wrap up the night. read more

Mesa Mezcal is your standard hotel restaurant to make sure you have food available throughout the day. Nothing too crazy, just standard stuff. I had the veggie burger and a side salad. The dressing came out in a plastic packet and I wasn't a fan of that. I know it's all the same thing no matter if it came from a bulk jar of dressing or individual serving, but when I'm sitting down to lunch with friends and a bottle of wine, it was just weird. The bartenders are very attentive. If you want to sit and chat at the bar and have drinks, they will take great care of you. read more

VERY greasy. I liked their chips and salsa and that's kinda the saving grace here. Elote, beans and rice on the side of tacos were good. The tacos are served deconstructed with tortillas on the side. It was decent but at $21 I would expect way less oil/grease on the plate. Server was friendly and always there when we didn't need her but gone when we did. Not necessarily her fault but kinda frustrating. It was very loud even though there weren't a lot of customers. I wouldn't be unlikely to return. read more

I stopped in with a friend after a conference at the Irving Convention Center. The entrance wasn't open from the outside so we walked through the hotel. We were immediately greeted and helped to available seats. We were just looking for a drink so we sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly and helped me make my decision. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went with the pear margarita. It was delicious![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did not try the food, but if all of their drinks are that tasty, I will definitely be back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Incredible service! My husband and I came for our anniversary, and I have never been received so well at a restaurant! When I arrived and said the name on my reservation, she immediately knew who I was and what we were there to celebrate, they even had a bottle of champagne on ice for us! Our waiter was great, the hostess was great, the experience was just GREAT! I feel like I haven't had service like this since before Covid and it is such a relief. Thank you for making our night special instead of just a regular dinner like any other night! PS I had the chili and it was super yummy with large chunks of steak in it read more

Had a new waiter, so service was extremely slow. Food was okay, typical tex-mex. I would have given 3 stars anyway for the slow service, but the server was nice - when he was there. Took off one star for noting we were celebrating 2 birthdays on the reservation, but no birthday desserts offered. Still it was a nice dinner, but what really put a HUGE damper on the evening was having to pay $12.99 to get out of the free parking garage! On the Mesa Mezcal website it states parking in the Westin garage is validated. When we got there, the parking attendant told us the free parking garage was across the alley at Toyota Music Factory. I knew this was wrong, so we drove around to the other side. There the attendant let us in, and when we asked about validation (paper tickets are not issued), he said he would be there until 8:00 to let us out. Finished dinner about 7:00, no parking attendant, but saw an employee from the restaurant walking in the garage. He told us if the attendant let us in, the gate should just open to let us out. NOPE! You're trapped with no way to get out except paying $13. Times THREE cars. Won't be back. read more

We stayed at the Westin for Texas Frightmare and spent several hours a day and every meal at Mesa Mezcal. The food, drinks and atmosphere were great- but it was the staff that made it magic! The bartenders were all great, but the employee who charmed us all was Greatful! She took amazing care of us and was so incredibly kind! We'll definitely be back next year- we hope to see her again! read more

I have ate here several times in the past for breakfast. Excellent omelettes. But this time I decided to stay in and eat dinner. Be advised they close mid day and reopen at 3 pm I think. I started with a draft beer. Cold glass and very good beer, I prefer domestic and it didn't disappoint. My meal, I ordered a burger with a side salad. Burger was good , not great. I did enjoy my dinner. Service was good. Restaurant is clean. read more

We popped in here this past Sunday for a friend's birthday party. The place is super convenient from just about any part of the city and has quick and easy free parking. We were there on a Sunday during the drag brunch, which was quite a performance. They had some very high quality entertainers who put on a wonderful show. While we didn't eat, they had a breakfast buffet and the plates our seatmates were bringing back looked delicious and nobody was complaining. We did have a couple cocktails, including one of the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had in my life. Highly highly recommended. The staff was engaging, fun and efficient. We'll definitely be coming back here for a meal at some point. read more

So disappointed. Checked online to confirm their hours before we tried to go to Mesa Mezcal for a late dinner. Website says open to midnight, but we arrived 10:00 pm today (Thursday) only to be told they had just closed early. read more

This is a very nice restaurant located inside the Westin. I came in very tired and hungry because I was at a convention all day. Ozzie and Allan provided me with very friendly service at the bar. I ordered the street taco platter and a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. Both were very delicious. I'm staying at the hotel, so I will definitely be back tomorrow to try an espresso martini! read more

Incredible staff ran by an incredible management team. The chuleta pork chop is phenomenal! Bar team is very knowledgeable and attentive.

This place is in Westin hotel and you would expect a reasonably well run restaurant. Outside they advertised their Happy Hour deals and on Tuesday it was $2.00 Tacos and $5.00 margaritas. Apparently the had changed the price to $4.00 but didn't change the sign. Someone with an attitude wouldn't honor the price which was ridiculous and then i have an attitude because integrity is a big deal. Business 101 is if a price is posted wrong just honor it. This 2 BUCKS! A manager in training honored the price which is why she is a manager. That said the tacos were fair at best. I wouldn't return. read more

This is review is for happy hour. This is a beautiful restaurant located and the westin hotel. They had great prices for happy hour and it doesn't end until 7pm! The food was ho-hum; some traditional items but they mixed they Latin flavor mark.They could have put more Latin inspired drinks on their menu to go with the food and maybe that would have made-up for the food Also, they didn't have any latin music playing, well if they did, it was so low we could hear it. The restaurant was empty and it didn't make you want to come back. They need to spice it up A LOT read more

This is the Westin Hotel restaurant (dinner and breakfast). While it has a very high-end look with lots of wood, exposed rebar and large, comfortable tables, the food and service are lacking. The food is very limited. Breakfast potatoes are squares and and not well fried. Clearly not from scratch (IMO) and just baked here. There are no fresh juices (a must for a modern hotel in this Health world). My potatoes were served without the condiments (came 5 min later) and soon were cold. The portions were nice. My avocado "masa" toast had great guacamole on it, and was well seasoned with lime juice. My fav item out of 2 meals. For lunch I had chips & guac, house shredded cabbage/corn salad and smashed black beans. Loved the salad, it was like a Fresca slaw. The beans were whipped and dry, not smashed. Sadly, all the salsa have mole in them which is just not my flavor profile. To be honest, the guacamole was at least 2 1/2 cups. There was no smaller order which was frustrating. The salsas were in tiny cylindrical containers making it impossibly messy to get a tortilla chip in. All the wait staff were nice but at lunch the wait for a first visit was noticeably long and the hostess came by twice to give me updates on the server. This menu needs about 3-5 more healthy, vegan, items on it. And the breakfast needs a more American standard option in addition to the Southwest Mexican foods. Mediocre to okay. I'd not come here if I weren't staying at the hotel. read more

Good food, but took 10 mins for someone to seat me (no line) and after eating it took 30 mins for someone to bring me the Check.

The mole chicken dish was good, but we had a weird experience; our waitress asked us not to order our entrees at the same time at the appetizers as it would inconvenience her. This was a first for us, and it's prevented us for going back. The chips and salsa should be free at a Mexican restaurant... read more

I was at the Fiberfest at the Irving Convention Center, this place is right next door. So I gave it a try. I wanted lunch at 1pm, silly me. They only have brunch selections until 3pm. And when I say brunch, it's more like breakfast. But I gave it a try. It was ok. I had the croquettes, they were a little sweet. The chip were decent. The salsa was green, I like the green ones. So I ate a lot of the chips and salsa. Good thing, the main meal was only so so. My companion and I were able to have a nice conversation while we ate, so that was good. I do have to hand it to our waiter, he was very good about getting us in and out as soon as possible. We had told him we only had a limited amount of time to grab something to eat. He is the only reason this place isn't getting only two stars. read more

Very convenient location when you are going to the convention center. Clean area, friendly staff. We went for the breakfast buffet. While the home fry potatoes were bland and cold, all of the other food was great! read more

A friend and ate here on a Saturday afternoon. The food was good. We had the queso fundido, Birria tacos and chicken pozole. I also had a spicy margarita which was fine. The place was clean and well decorated. The complaint I have is that when my friend tried to get our bartender, Maxwell's, attention he said "give me a sec" and made us wait until he was finished texting. Probably a minute or 2. Then said "oh it was work related." There were 2 other people sitting at the bar. Not one person at a table. read more

Food was excellent, but they seemed understaffed. Your waitress was super nice but she was trying to handle the whole restaurant. I had the tacos and it wasn't what I expected but delicious. The happy hour queso and salsa was really good, huge portion of both, highly recommend. We would go back, but hopefully they will be better staffed. read more

Great bar and restaurant in the Westin. The street tacos were really good. Highly recommend. Excellent service as well.

The service was good. The vibe was good. The Burgers were delicious. The drinks were wonderful. The Friday Flight was a real treat.

In these times I usually leave a 25-35% tip and tonight is the first time I have ever left a -0- tip. Service was an absolute zero. There was maybe 3 tables and 4 people at bar. The hotel is great, but would never eat here again. read more

Located in the Westin in Las Colinas this Tex Mex restaurant has great food and cocktails. I was able to get a sneak peek of their new brunch menu items. The Chicken and Waffles with Cholula syrup is so delicious! The nachos are meaty and cheesy and they are served in can so it's fun to have the waiter lift up the can and drop the nachos onto your plate. They also have happy hour 7 days a week! read more

Only reason I am giving a 3 and not a 4 or 5 is because of the customer service lacking attention and detail. I am currently handicapped using crutches. I came in from the back side entrance since my friend who drove could not find parking and it was only 4:30pm before any rush hour started. I waited inside on a seating area next to the bar that's like a round couch. I was waiting for my friend to find parking as I waited inside. I had 4 different waiters pass me by regardless if I'm just seated, no one even gave a look of acknowledgement that I even exist. Get you in mind the place was super empty. I did not get a hello, can I get you something or even offer a table. If I have to find a seat on my own when my friend finally got inside that already screams disaster on customer service. If we chose to eat and drink here out of all the other places in that plaza that has great choices and we chocks had chosen and this is how you are ignoring people even when they come in. Then there is a problem. Especially since it was empty. Now only reason I gave it an 3 star and not a 0 star is because they have a nice deal with tacos Tuesday. Each taco is $2 or get 3 for $10 or get 3 tacos and 3 tequilas for $15 So of course I got the combo. I got the chicken, carne asada and pork tacos. The chicken to me was the best because it was very flavorful and the sauces were the best. The pork taco tasted good but the pork it's self had no real flavor the ingredients gave it's little something but it was also dry. Rule one with pork do not let it get dry! If not it's like eating stale meat. The service once seated. On my own was what ever. Waiter left us a bottle of water and chips and only came back to hand out checks and take the plates. On top on that although I had ordered on my own and my friend as well we got charged 18 percent service group free. We ordered our food and sat alone for over 30 plus minutes. I was even done with food and a few other Co workers sat by us and the service charge put this in. Even though I was there way before they came. I get it you have to make money on groups but I was not even part of it either. So I did not appreciate that If there is other locations I will go visit those. But did not care about the lack of attention and detail in this location in Irving. read more
