I can only comment on food quality since I ordered this as delivery. I ordered two fish tacos and…read morewere amazed to find that the fish was chopped up into tiny pieces, not one whole piece of fillet like a usual taco... that was the first sign. But then I bit into it and it was oddly soggy, separating from the breading, and then I knew it - this place is chopping up fish sticks and serving them as fish tacos for $3.00+ apiece. I'm spoiled because I'm from Los Angeles, but come on! Literal fish sticks! I also ordered the chilaquiles and was surprised to find them in a plastic storage container that most establishments put soup in. Chilaquiles are normally crunchy, freshly fried and then tossed in salsa - the tortillas instead came absolutely drenched and soggy in a very salty consommé with the salsa on the side. I mean, this was delivery, so slightly soggy chilaquiles are to be expected, but I almost don't know if they accidentally gave me a tortilla soup instead of chilaquiles.

Service and ambiance was good, but, it could not make up for the extremely poor meat quality…read more I was told this BBQ restaurant had some of the best BBQ in the area - absolutely not - the meat I was served was dry and old. Very disappointing that this was acceptable for this restaurant to sell. I Purchased: * Chicken wrap: very good. Freshly made. * fried deviled eggs - very good. * fried pickle chips - very good. * cheesy potatoes- a bit grainy. * cream cheese corn - good. * Onion strings: very good spice/flavor and texture. * burnt ends: very old - not just a day or two - these were multiple days old. * sausage: very dry, poor taste. * turkey: extremely dry. Probably the worst turkey I have ever received from a BBQ restaurant - basically inedible. * ribs: multiple days old - old and dry - old ribs have a different texture than fresh smoked ribs. Suggestion - please do not slice meats until the customer orders the meat (except burnt ends).

Avocado salsa was good not what I was expecting it was more salsa-y and less avocado-y it wasn't creamy if that's the image that comes to mind when you think of avocado salsa. Chipotle crema was good, liquid-y but good. I'd come back might need to order something else tho I'm still hungry lol. Service was good, pay at the counter. Vibes are cool it's a tight fit with a menu board. Nice little spot.

What happened to my favorite wrap spot?!?! I'm so very sad as we just had lunch at JB's and it was…read moreawful! We always get 2 different wraps that we split and typically we finish full and happy... I ask again, what happened that everything changed?? I'd say it was the prep person, but the ingredients were off too. We got a crunchy tofu Thai wrap and a kimchi fried rice burrito. I didn't even eat my half of the Thai wrap as it literally consisted of dry cabbage and 6 pieces of tofu that were the size of peas! I had to take a picture because no one would believe my description otherwise. The rice in the kimchi burrito was dry and greasy, but I managed to eat most of that. I'm really very sad as it was the kind of bad that I won't give it another shot because it was both different and bad. The size was easily half what we used to get, way more wrap than filling. I hope the owner uses this review to train or assess the changes made. It really was our favorite lunch spot in town

I usually get the taco salad which is very delicious. What sets this restaurant apart for me is their service. It is exceptional. I am now on a first name basis with Jose the host. They have accommodated all my on-the-side requests. They don't roll their eyes when I have a carload full of dogs and need carside service. They have an extensive menu but I keep ordering my favorites. Don't we all do that? lol. The prices are reasonable and inline with other similar restaurants. The restaurant is easily accessible and there is ample parking. If you are looking for solid Mexican food with exceptional service, El Mezcal is the place.

Everyone raves about this restaurant and I've been curious for awhile about the fare. Today a…read morefriend and I decided to go for lunch. I am not going to be one of those who raves. They have a vast menu and they have breakfast service. The food was good, prepared to order and served timely. There is no table service. Your order is prepared and they call your name to come pickup at a window. The restaurant is easily accessible and there is ample parking. Everything looked clean and neat. The problem I have with this restaurant is the price and overall pricing structure. This restaurant is very pricey. Nothing is included, either. Fries aren't included with a cheeseburger, for example. You would think that the price they charge, they would throw in an extra or two. I know they don't give free fries at large franchise places but this is another type of restaurant. So by the time you order main item plus a side plus a pricey fountain drink, this is a costly place. My cheeseburger didn't feel cooked all the way through. No one comes to the table to make sure your order is okay. It just felt empty against the hype backdrop. I'll give it another try but I'm sure prices won't have gone down.

I don't know if abuela left but I think she would be disappointed in how this restaurant served us. Firstly, the food had no flavor. I'm sorry but you're a restaurant.. isn't the whole point to eat food that has flavor? Like not even salt. Also the tacos were so greasy they made us gag. I'm not even kidding like it was bad. Once we got our food we waited 15 mins for silverware. So that kinda sucked too. And then it took us 5 years to get the check. Also there were extremely racist white old ladies sitting at the table next to us. The customer isn't always right. Anyway though, we were really disappointed. Lawrence does have great Mexican food. I was excited to bring my boyfriend here because it used to be one of my favorite spots. They also don't do free queso anymore. At least the place was clean. There are better spots like Lulu's or Los Guapos. (Rip cielitos). I'd maybe try again in the future but for now I wouldn't go back.
