What a nice new Mexican spot in Rolesville! Place is huge, which is a good thing cause they were doing quite the huge business when we showed up for a Sunday lunch. Luckily we didn't have to wait for a small table, and were given three menus. Drinks, food and dessert. Lots of choices! We were immediately brought some excellent chips and salsa. Drink prices are crazy high. I wanted a skinny margarita and was shown one called El Jefe in the Shaker section for $19.99. When it arrived, I could see why it was so expensive. The whole shaker comes to the table along with a glass of it. So it's a lot of liquid, although not in a boozy way. Very refreshing. I got the Chicken ACP which was very tasty. I've had something similar at other restaurants that came with pineapple in it and that would take this dish to another level. He got a quesadilla bowl which was a large amount of food. One of the rare times he's brought leftovers home and lots of it. We were both impressed with the nice quality. Staff here are excellent. We had numerous folks who checked on us especially when His soft drink was low. Very impressed. We will be back!
This is a vibing restaurant with great food and great margaritas. This was our first time here and they did not disappoint. The margarita options and cocktail choices are some of the most extensive in Raleigh. Definitely everything we want in a Mexican restaurant. The flavors were bountiful and cooked to perfection.
My friend was raving about Mezcalito so I decided to try it out. I did carry out instead of eating in. I requested an extra bag of chips since there was only one small bag with my to-go oder for the dip trio and was charged $5 for a "large" bag which is insane. When I arrived home and opened the take out bag, it was missing my dip. I had already driven 20 minutes round trip and wasn't going to make it 40 so I called and asked for a refund on the dip. They said it would be back in my account within 3 business days. It's been 2.5 weeks now and still no refund. The food is really good and if it weren't for the price gouging on some chips and forgetting the $10 dip I paid for and not refunding it, this would have been a 5-star experience.
One of the most modern looking and upscale Mexican restaurants we've ever been to. The food choices were better than the usual fare. Portions were generous. Prices a little steep, but then again that's true everywhere lately. Service was good, however this was the longest we ever waited for our food after ordering at a Mexican restaurant. Usually, food comes out in 5 minutes, this time it took over 20 minutes.
VERY busy but honestly SO GOOD! They told us a 45 min wait... we were sat within 10 mins. Parking can be tricky because it's in a busy shopping center. There's an inside or outside. You can wait at one of the bars while you wait for a table. It's got lots of plants and lighting inside so very cute. My husband ordered guac and chicharon because he's keto. Came out a little later than expected but still he loved it and said he will order it EVERY time. Chips are good but have a salt lime flavor. I got the birria tacos. One thing I loved about their drink menu is there were TONS of photos. We didn't order one but maybe next time!
Tried out the new Mezalito in Rolesville. It's a good Mexican spot, worthy of a try. The restaurant is divided into 2 sections downstairs, with an upstairs patio for when the weather warms up. The music is LOUD, so not the spot for an intimate conversation. The menu is standard Mexican/American fare. All the usual suspects are represented. Mixed drinks choices are plentiful and portions are large. Service is quick and attentive. Time from order to service less than 10 minutes. Warm chips and house-made salsa brought to the table with the drinks. Tried an ACP (Arroz con Pollo) with a sampler of chicken, steak and shrimp. It's priced ala carte this way, but couldn't decide on a protein. It's a nice-sized portion, with plentiful helpings of proteins atop rice and vegetables. Of the 3, shrimp was the most tasty - nicely spiced and cooked just right - crisp crunch on the outside, firm and not mushy on the inside. Definitely will order this again next time - maybe with one of the other options. I can't say that there's much that's unique about this spot. But the service and food are good. Prices are reasonable, and it's close to home. Definitely a keeper. Welcome to Rolesville!
Mezcalito is something different for this area and it works! The building itself is unique amongst the surrounding businesses, and walking up to it you just feel like you're in for a fun time. Inside was more simply decorated than I expected, with white walls, black booths and lovely greenery hanging from a high ceiling bar. The open space is nice, but be prepared, it's loud (music and echo). But we're here to see how the food tastes. They do serve chips and salsa upon sitting down. Chips are warm and salted, and the salsa is a bit smokey - I really enjoyed it but wonder if not all would. The menu is large, with lunch specials on the back. Of note, the specials are available on the weekend! I got two steak tacos and chicken soup as my side instead of beans and rice. I love Mexican chicken soup and theirs is fantastic! Chicken, rice, tomatoes, cilantro and onion make for a light but filling combination. The tacos were so delicious! You can get flour or corn tortillas. The steak was cooked perfectly. There are larger plates good for sharing such as their meat platters - which I'll be back for. I ordered a oaxacan old fashioned to drink and it was very good. Mezcal based, smokey, with a cinnamon stick. Most of the drinks (from the look of them on the menu) weren't my style but could be good judging from my cocktail. I found the service attentive and welcoming. The place was buzzing on a Saturday afternoon. Parking in this newer area is ok, we had a little trouble finding a spot but did come at a popular time. Try it out! This could become a favorite!
Great food and service. A lot of bang for your buck! The front room was cold and seemed very "industrial" The back room was warmer And more inviting.
Service was amazing!! Our server Itzel was welcoming and very personable. She made our experience feel like we were visiting family instead of going to a restaurant. She cared about our experience and was constantly checking on us. Food was great. If you are looking for great ceviche definitely try the Ceviche Frescura. Amazing flavors!!! Mescalito is definitely our favorite Mexican restaurant since our move to North Carolina.
The restaurant was clean, spacious, and welcoming, with music playing at a comfortable level. The aesthetic was beautiful, with flowers and greenery adding to the vibe. Service was prompt, getting us seated right away. The food, specifically the tostada shrimp, was flavorful but PACKED with spice - a surprise for me, but still delicious . My husband ordered the enchiladas delish and the horchata was so good it had an authentic flavor and the right amount of cinnamon.
I've been to the new location Mezcalito opened in Midtown Raleigh twice this month. The environment is amazing. It gives boho, tropical vibes with natural wood finishes and an incredible wall of beautiful live plants. I was impressed! Staff was super helpful and friendly. My burrito bowl was so good! Protein was moist, flavorful and very well seasoned. The portion size is also worth mentioning, super generous protein and garnishes in the dish. They served a crunchy fried tortilla that was a nice touch to the overall experience. Their drinks also look so good! I'll have to come back to try them.
This place was DELICIOUS!!! We received exceptional service and the ambiance was laid back. Would definitely recommend if in the area!!!
Delicious meal with consistent service every time we go. The first time we went it was a weekday, which was slower. The food was OUTSTANDING and our drinks were delicious. The second time we went was a Saturday night and it was packed, but the service and food were still top notch. Would definitely recommend.

Yes, it's loud. But it's a Mexican restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is even better. Ask for Kayla on the weekends. That's apparently the only time she works, but she is literally the sweetest and most amazing server. read more

Beautiful presentation across the board, food and drinks both. Not only beautiful but the food was delicious as well. They have large menu with something for everyone so there is no issues there. It is relatively new so wait times have been long during peak hours. I am excited for warmer weather when the upstairs outside seating / patio will be in use. read more
We stopped by here after a visit to the new Downtown Rolesville Farmer's Market store in Cobblestone Village. This place was hopping for lunch on a Friday afternoon. They have a lunch menu until 3:00, so I ordered the chicken lunch fajitas. The prices on the lunch menu are very reasonable for the portions that they serve. Everything was fresh and flavorful! The chicken was very well seasoned as well as everything else that was included on the plate. Service was also top notch! Looking forward to eating here again soon! read more
