This was my husband and my first time to Norfolk, NE. And we were visiting some people that had…read morejust moved here. We wanted to take them out for lunch and asked for their recommendation. Of course, being from California, we LOVE Mexican food. Just didn't know you could find it so far up north in Nebraska. We were five people and they seated us at a large table which was very comfortable. Almost immediately, they brought us a 2 huge bowls with chips and salsa. Very generous portion. I don't remember what all others had, but everyone's food came piping hot to the table and was flavorful and not too spicy (which you can choose). My husband and I are not big lunch eaters, so we decided to share a meal. We had the chimichanga plate. I must say, El Mezcal quality did deliver. We loved our enormous plate of food; but were glad that we were sharing. The chimichanga was stuffed to the brim with very flavorful meat and just the right amount of spice, covered in stringy melted cheese... yum! Accompanied by rice and beans, this plate totally hit the spot. Service was friendly, but didn't interact much once the meal was served. Didn't bother me enough to deduct a start. Highly recommend this place.

While service was good, they never brought out an item I ordered after numerous visits to the table.read more

The al pastor were a little bit too spicy for me (but I'm really sensitive to spicy foods) so don't take my word for it. The carnita tacos were really good. A lot of flavor and had a large portion of meat in them, and they use corn tortillas which are my favorite. The fajita mixta is also a big portion.

Birria was flavorful and served hot with delicious tortillas. Salsa was good not great.

We had a warm welcome and got a nice big booth. Menus are easy to read and prices seem reasonable but we're from East Coast so... Service was okay; our waiter seemed to have a lot of tables. QR code checkout didn't work.

We were visiting and this place is our fams fave. The dips…read morewe started with were actually very tasty, bean and queso both were delis. They came with two different chips, flour and corn which I haven't seen anywhere. Pretty kool. Drinks were forgettable so I won't even mention. We went a day after Christmas so they got busy, we didn't really see our server but when we did she was nice and pleasant. Couple of tv-s around to watch some sport if you wish. The room we sat in was warm, fam said other rooms are cold so I'm glad we didn't have to experience that. Was around 20 degrees outside so that was more than enough to deal with. There are so many places to try and so little time. Can't wait to go visit again and check more out.

I try to mention in my reviews every time this happens but when you walk in you just FEEL dirty…read more Very musty, very cluttered. The food is about as good a you can expect from a Mexican restaurant at this location but I do appreciate that they have tamales on the menu. Staff was fairly friendly but our server was mostly nowhere to be found. Truthfully I'd scout a different Mexican food spot next time.

The seasoning is authentic Mexican and their salsa is pretty tasty and spicy just how it should be!

The absolute BEST Texas Fajitas I have ever had in Nebraska. These are most definitely ranked right up there with my home state of Texas without a doubt. Working away from home and missing home cooking this rates right up there as home cooked fajitas. The Texas Fajitas order has Shrimp, Beef and Chicken and they are The Bomb dot Com!!! Their margaritas aren't bad either. I'll definitely be going back.

Awful. Will not go back again…read more Went for lunch today. Was there an hour and a half. They were busy when we arrived so had patience when taking our order About 15 min in. We were a party of two and ordered the same menu item, one without tomatoes. After a half an hour (and the table of six coming in, ordering, and receiving their food) the waiter brought one of our two plates out. Two people=two orders, two plates. We waited for the second plate for the second person thinking he'd be right back with it. A half hour later we asked where the rest of our order was for the second member of our party. By this point, the restaurant was nearly empty. The waiter shuffled thru some papers and said it was on the grill. Be out shortly. We waited yet another half an hour, the restaurant now nearly empty, for the second plate. The person with the first plate had not ate her meal waiting for the both parties at the table to be served. She asked if her plate could be warmed up as it was now cold. The server treated her like she was crazy for requesting such. Ive never left a one star review before. But After an hour and a half, the second person was never served and the warmed up plate not returned. We went elsewhere and I recommend you do the same.
