Service was somewhat slow on a Saturday but, the place was packed. The ambience was good but the level of volume of the music could be toned down.. read more

This Mezcalito used to be an Applebee's, I believe. They've done a great job keeping the bones and renovating the place to fit their needs. They even have a cute to-go window, where you can order and take away without having to enter the restaurant. So cool! I came with a group of 7 people on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy! I was shocked - it was probably because of Fifa but I couldn't be certain. That being said, we were sat and attended to quickly. After we all ordered our food, it took no more than 5 to 10 minutes for it to get to us, and it all tasted fresh and delicious. I cleaned them out of chips and salsa, and also ordered their steak tacos. I just love a steak taco, and theirs was very good. Definitely worth a stop in if you're in the area! read more

The food here is melt in your mouth heaven on a plate. The atmosphere is open airy bright and festive! The staff is friendly and very available especially for questions on the menu. Speaking of the menu I think you could possibly hover your finger, close your eyes and put it down anywhere in the menu and you would find that you had stumbled on something delicious! Additionally it is so obvious even if one has no knowledge of what is traditional cuisine that the food is authentic in both preparation and presentation. We chose the Trey Leche for dessert and I look forward to trying all the rest! They have cocktails and various drinks available and they are also able to make mocktails out of just about anything: I had a mocktail piña colada. We are going tonight and I can't wait to try something new and flavorful from the menu. read more

We just stumbled upon this place after Dave and Busters and wow what a great impromptu dinner! The atmosphere was cute inside and outside. Felt clean and the service from Isabel was really great! She was super kind and attentive and did a great job. The food came out promptly and was soooo delicious. There isn't as much meat as other places on the fajitas but the quality of the meat was outstanding! We tried both the corn and the flour tortillas and definitely preferred the flour tortillas as the corn was too overpowering flavor wise over the fajitas. While the garnish for the Marg was beautiful!! The frozen berries was a bit disappointing because they were too hard and cold to enjoy, so it feels wasteful. Whoever does the photography on their menu needs to be acknowledged because it made me want to see everything I saw. Great experience overall and will be back. read more

They've done a great job renovating this former South of the Border location. Lots of fun margaritas, and we saw several birthday celebrations parade from the kitchen - they make celebrations a pretty big deal. We came mostly for drinks. Ordered a tower and the Mecalito sampler. The tower was a lot of fun - we got 12 margaritas out of it and it was casamigos tequila for $100. The sampler was a mix of American bar food (wings and fries) and Mexican, and the table enjoyed it. read more

Mezcalito's you have my heart! Great drinks, great prices, and amazing service that was attentive despite a very packed night! Plenty of free parking and the decor inside is so fun and bright which matches the vibes perfectly! I tried a few things and genuinely loved them all. See below for a little more detail: * Guacamole w/ Chicharrones 10/10: crispy chicharrones and super limey guac which I loved! Also a little chunky which I prefer. * Elotes on the Cob 8/10: very tasty, extremely hot as far as the temperature, just would have to wanted a little more mayo + cotija * Spicy Asada Tacos + Consommé 9/10: the steak was spicyyy, just like I like it! Consommé was rich but not oily! * Jolly Rancher Drink 100/10: GIVE ME A MILLION OF THESE read more

This was my first time here. I loved the atmosphere (we sat outside), the cute lights, the music, the openness and the vibes. 4/5 because I liked the drink, I didn't like the taste but it sure did the job!! The fruit in it was good , too. The food was delicious and the energy was great. Our waiter was polite and could've been a bit more attentive, but they were busy! I WILL be back and do recommend! read more

Finally made it to Mezcalito in Cary. When we walked in we were automatically in awe of all of the live greenery, it made the place look so homely. It made me feel so peaceful. The menu is a bit much but when I finally made my decision on the chicken rolls, I'm glad I did! The chicken was juicy and the house made sauce put the perfect amount of spice on them. I usually don't add an adult beverage to my meals because of the ridiculous prices nowadays but since my rolls were $10.99 I thought I'd treat myself to a Bahama Mama and it was delicious. My husband had the chicken tacos and to be honest, when I saw them I wish I had ordered them as well. Next time for sure! I didn't try them but he left no crumbs so it's safe to say he loved them. The chips and salsa were probably my favorite. The chips were on the thicker side, which I love, and the salsa was not too spicy to enjoy. Definitely going back soon. read more

Always an amazing time there. The food is awesome and so are the drinks. You will not be disappointed. A must check out!

We had a great time at Mezcalito last night. There were so many people there, we were afraid we wouldn't get seated. However, we were seated immediately and the staff were so kind and attentive. Our orders were taken quickly and our food came fast. I ordered the enchiladas suizas. The price to portion ratio was great, and the quality of the enchiladas were delicious. The rice and salad were fantastic as well. Would definitely come back again! read more

Mezcalito is a fantastic addition to Cary. We were drawn in by the holiday lights and will come back because of the delicious food, extensive menu of things we want to try, and great service. Anything with al pastor is a winner. We got a queso smothered burrito that was fantastic but the al pastor quesadilla was the winner. The fries are nothing to rave home about, and the drinks are HUGE, maybe a bit too bit, especially for a lightweight like me. Dying to come back for their lunch menu and Mexican Espresso! read more

Food was so delicious. Flavors are spicy smokey and sweet. Services was a little bit on the slower side but they were really busy. I already forgotten what we had. But I had the Asian ACP and my husband had the Tropical ACP my kid got some kind of burrito and my uncle got some kind of bowl. My new favorite Mexican restaurant. I dont think the flavor profile is Tex-Mex at all. The place was all lit up with lights. Must be really nice at night. We will definitely come back. read more

I had one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant here. The menus smelt strongly of plastic and when I opened them up, gnats flew out. The gnats never went away throughout the whole meal. Our server just didn't seem interested in us at all and she put a shared app on my tab without asking who would pay or if we could split it. Once our food came out a spider crawled out from under my plate. Another male worker came up to our table and tried flirting with us and when we were walking out he did it again. It made us extremely uncomfortable. The food wasn't horrible but the whole experience made me not want to eat anything. Also my quesadilla had basically no cheese in it. Based on all the other high reviews, this must of been a fluke experience but I'm too scarred to go back lol read more

Excellent atmosphere. Great food. Reasonable prices. Excellent service and attentive staff. We have been here 4 times since opening. It's been a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Shrimp fajitas were good. Guacamole was very fresh. Birria tacos were great. I've tried a few things so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It's a great place for families. Music can get loud at night inside. We love going during lunch hour and early evening. We enjoy the outdoor patio in nice weather. read more

I was driving a group of 8 guys to the airport from a 5 day trip to Pinehurst. We wanted to get lunch on the way to the airport and Mezcalito was located perfectly right off of the highway before RDU. Every single man enjoyed his lunch. Enchiladas were stuffed with meat. Fajitas was sizzling and smoky. Everything was absolutely delicious. I'm from Texas so I am very familiar with good TexMex. This food was more authentically Mexican and was the best meal we had on the trip. Service was good and food came out piping hot. Ask for the spicier salsa and enjoy those freshly fried tortilla chips. It was a great end to an epic golf trip. read more

I would have given a full 5 stars because everything was amazing EXCEPT the Birria Quesadilla! I had such high hopes for it but I kid you not, my friend and I were pulling FULL bay leaves out of the quesadilla. And I am not talking about one leaf per triangle cut of the quesadilla, but full leaves AND half leaves, quarter leaves! It was crazy how many were in each cut of the quesadilla. We even asked our waitress if this was normal and she went on about how they love to season things but bay leaves are supposed to season and then be REMOVED. They are dangerous to eat so it baffled me that we would have so many in one quesadilla. Outside of that - we had the steak queso and could not shut up about how good it was. And the 6 taco plate where it is 3 of one kind 3 of another was fantastic. For that we did the steak/chorizo on the corn tortilla and the Chipotle chicken on the flour.....delicious! Really my only complaint is that awful quesa birria! read more

I had been to the one in Apex awhile back, so when I saw the one in Cary closer to our home was open I couldn't wait to try it. It's surpassed all my expectations. The place is beautiful I love all the greenery ! We had the steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas. OMG! Mind and taste buds blown! We also tried the ACP Fries. Just Wow! Michael was a phenomenal server. He was personable and very knowledgeable. We were shocked that place was only open for four weeks because everything was just outstanding. read more

My Mother and I were so excited to try Mezcalito tonight! The inside decor is fabulous. I couldn't get over how great it looked compared to the worn decor of the previous tenant to the property, On The Border. Mezcalito has done a fantastic job of transforming the inside. Tearing down walls and installing a beautiful bar at one end of the restaurant. My Mother and I both thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. I had the Chicken Fajita Quesadilla and my Mother had Steak Fajitas. My Mother also had a churro dessert martini which was excellent! We finished dinner with the Tres Leches which was very yummy. Our waiter Antonio was very attentive and so polite. He was prompt with whatever we asked for, refills, extra napkins, boxes, etc. Mezcalito has only been open for two weeks and everything seemed very polished. We will definitely be going back! read more

Mezcalito Cary is at the top when it comes to well prepared Mexican dishes. It has been easy to enjoy anything on the menu without disappointing.

If you like this genre of food Mezcalito Cary is a must try so stop by! read more

The food is good (churros are WONDERFUL!), outdoor seating is plentiful, an interesting array of cocktails, and the indoor decor is cool (lots of live plants). The reason my review is only three stars is because the music is so loud. It's like a nightclub, not a restaurant and impossible to carry on a conversation. I asked both the waitress and manger to lower it. They both had to ask me to repeat myself because they couldn't hear me (see?!) but after saying they would, nothing changed. I won't go back because of this. read more
