I really enjoyed Mezcal! I could tell that I was in an authentic Mexican restaurant, eating…read moreauthentic Mexican food. The service was very good, everyone that we interacted with was kind & helpful. The aesthetic is super cute. Online menu prices were a little different in the restaurant. My husband & I started with the chimichanga bites which were yummy & had chunks of shredded chicken! I had the chicken fajita nachos with a sangria margarita & a pomegranate margarita. I would recommend the nachos, keep in my extra condiments are an additional price, including jalapeños. My husband got the California burrito & enjoyed, along with the blue pacific drink & the Napoli (I think that was the name but it's the drink in the cactus glass).

As soon as we arrived, we were seated quickly in a booth. We ended up not liking the spot because…read morethe light from the front window was shining directly on us, so we moved to another table. The owner should really consider adding a window filter. We ordered the steak fajitas and the pork burrito. To our surprise, the meat was high quality and very delicious. However, the rice was disappointing--very dry. The pork burrito didn't come with black beans, so I had to order them on the side. It's odd that they don't include them with the burrito. The black beans also weren't blended, so they came out chunky. The service was top‑notch, and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxing. The restroom was very clean but extremely cold due to the lack of heating--I can't imagine how customers tolerate the freezing toilet seats. Overall, we enjoyed our date.

You simply will not find better food for the price in Maryland. I had the chicken with mango salsa,…read morewhich was cooked fresh in front of me. The mango salsa was sweet and tangy, offering a pleasant contrast to the chicken which had been prepared with a light crust of seasoning. The Spanish Rice was bright, and offered a buttery note to tie the dish together. The dish was served with a side spring salad and a strawberry vinaigrette that was almost good enough to drink. The staff are kind and patient, and the restaurant's decor is industrial but inviting. This is a hidden gem, and I wish I'd found it sooner.

But a quick search for restaurants and they popped up. There are tables and bar seating, and the menu posted on the wall when you enter, with specials and taco options on the chalkboard below.

This new location is spacious, clean, and has great food. I got the quarter chicken platter with white meat, brussel sprouts, and yucca fries. Each platter comes with sides and each side looks so good you'll definitely have a hard time deciding. I also got some green sauce and white sauce too. The chicken was super flavorful, moist, and fell right off the bone. It was sooo good! The brussels had a surprising kick to them and were nice and tender. The yucca fries took an extra few minutes to come out since they were frying them up fresh for us and it was worth the wait! They have several locations but the food doesn't taste like a chain, if you know what I mean. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone craving some delicious Peruvian style chicken.

Oh and I also got plantains (which they initially forgot but thankfully I checked the bag before I left.) Bf liked his bowl. He's been here a couple of times before and always enjoys.

How does one fry unripe plantain :-( :-( :-( I might, key word MIGHT, try again.

It's so nice this gem is in Towson and add some cultural variety to a very pizza/burger heavy town. Also the owners are absolutely lovely and the kitchen was impressively clean. 10/10 recommend. Take out only. Easy parking.

The stove is right behind the counter and there was no ventilation in the restaurant. It was hotter inside than outside which made it unbearable to eat there. That's why we took our food to go. The quesadilla itself was not special. I wish they gave more sour cream. The pupusas were better than the quesadilla but I feel like that doesn't say much.

I'll have to hurry back during season and try the Arctic orchard mule with Red Bull winter, vodka and ginger beer or the Jack Frost Margarita!

I got delivery and my order got to my door fairly quickly and food was still a good temp. I ordered the short rib tacos with a side of rice and chorizo pinto beans. It was bland and the two tacos for the price was not it, very small tacos with bland short rib. The salsas carried it and gave it flavor. The rice and beans: BLAND! Where is the flavor, how are chorizo pinto beans bland???? I see why the place has iffy reviews. Can't speak on the atmosphere or service because again it was delivery. I will pass on this place moving forward.

I asked how much each of the options that I was interested in cost and most of them were $5 or more for a single taco. I ended up ordering the al pastor. The tacos were small (4in) and light on meat. The al pastor was actually pretty good but definitely not worth the almost $10 I paid for two.
