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. read more

From start to finish, this place has given life! It began with our bartender, then extended to Ansy. ANSY ANSY ANSY!!! Tip top service from her tonight. Tip your server, cause she's everything! read more

Great service from Sesar. Table of nine served in under 45 minutes. Great food. Great atmosphere!!!

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. read more

Mezcalito - Mexican Near Me - Rolesville, North Carolina

After hearing so many great things about the several Mezcalitos in the area, we finally stopped into the newest one in Rolesville. The space is awesome...a big, high ceiling dining room with a fantastic rooftop dining area/bar upstairs. Good service and a friendly/lovely vibe. Where they lost us was the food. In a word...mediocre. Muted flavors, gristly beef, salsa that tastes more like ketchup, house margarita that's way too sweet. Basically (and I know these are fighting words around these parts)...Mexican food for NC palates. I love y'all...but you just don't know good Mexican food. And Mezcalito's popularity seems to be proof positive that I need to get my Mexican food elsewhere. read more

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! read more

Mezcalito - Chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Rolesville, North Carolina

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. 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

10/10! I LOVE this place. Can't wait to become a regular! They just opened, so be patient. Food was SO FLAVORFUL and their drinks are *chefs kiss* Absolutely stunning and delicious. Really cool for a girls night out spot. I love their drink menu, lots of large options to share (or not lol). The vibe is fun. I love that Rolesville finally had a cool Mexican restaurant that isn't typical. Clean, friendly service, great tasting food and drinks -- what's not to love? My fave drink so far is the watermelon jolly Rancher (I think that's what it was called). They use real fruit puree and make their own marg mix! What our waitress said anyway :) read more

We have visited this restaurant 3 times now and every time it has been a pleasure. We usually get mojitos and Fajitas and nachos and everything has always been delicious. The staff was always friendly and personable and even when the restaurant was busy and full we never waited too long for a table or our food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and plan on becoming a regular customer read more

Food was very good, great variety of very large drinks ,and great service thanks especially to Cesar

Went there with three friends just to get chips, salsa, and queso. We each got a sweet tea and the total was $26.00, keep in mind the chips and salsa is free so that was just from 2 small bowls of queso and drinks! Very expensive in my opinion! We got a second bowl of chips and they were very stale. After getting home me and one of my friends got food poisoning we believe and were sick all night! They did give me a refund and were very apologetic so I did appreciate that. read more

Came here to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. They couldn't hold a cake we had specially made to be brought to the table as a surprise. I've never had an issue with any restaurant in my entire life with this request. We have 6 teenagers and have done this at multiple restaurants throughout Raleigh, wake forest, and knightdale. It was explained to me that it's due to cross contamination. The cake is in a sealed container. I wasn't asking for it to be opened in their kitchen. read more

3 out of 7 meals the protein were overcooked and extremely dry. The service was not good. Let me say that again! It was not good. The noise is so loud you couldn't hear the person next to you. Not sure we will go back. read more

Beautiful restaurant, tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Being vegetarians they made any idea we wanted a vegetarian version. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks. The bar selection was enormous and prepared expertly. So glad we found this place. We were told other locals come back often. read more

We went on a Saturday night and had to wait 20-30 minutes. We were seated by the bar where it was pretty noisy between the music and people. When asked about drinks, I ordered the house margarita. Only later did I see that they had a more extensive drink menu, which makes sense with how extensive their liquor options are. The food was good. Our group tried a few different dishes and were pleased. The portions were decent sized. I would return to this location or another Mezcalito, but I would like to try other options from both the drink and food menus. read more

Amazing food! Have the Tropical ACP every time we go there. Always packed to the door, Liquor Selection is very good. Presentation of bar is top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mezcalito!! read more

Nice place. Great food, great ambience and really decent pricing. Definitely our new go too. Be prepared for a wait line.

We ordered the spicy steak tacos & the 3 taco entree. The rice & beans were barely 3rd place. Literally all of the tacos lacked flavor. Mushy tortillas and tomatoes. Disappointing. 4 stars is crazy. read more

I really wanted this place to be our new spot. My husband and I went for dinner on a Saturday to try it out and see if it would be a good fit for our large family in the future. There was a 30 min wait, no problem. Then the hostess let us know we could not wait on their bench at the entrance as it's reserved for take out only and we had to wait upstairs in the outdoor area in 32 degree weather. Heaters or no heaters that is terrible customer service. The bench is large....there was no one sitting in it and there were only two of us. Plenty of room for another party to sit or take out to wait. Will not be back if that is how they treat their customers. We will stick to Los Tres Magueyes down the street where we are always welcomed and the customer service is great. Very disappointed read more

Delivery: Well packaged, good presentation, good pricing, excellent flavors. One of my favorites only better than the local competition - Fried Chicken Chimichanga. read more

We had a great family dinner. Caesar took great care of us. Food was delicious. Glad to have this restaurant in Rolesville

Food deserves 5 stars. Great size servings. Food very fresh. They lose a star because it was very loud in there (we had to shoot to hear each other) and the booth benches are very short front to back - felt like we had to lean back to make sure we didn't fall off. read more

First time dining here. The service was great and we were seated quickly even though it was very busy. The food was alright, but we were seated near the bathrooms in the back and there was a very strong sewage smell, which made it hard to enjoy the experience. read more
