   We opened the meal with a lime-forward, homemade guacamole topped with pico de gallo. It was addicting and worth every penny. It comes with a red chipotle, salsa verde with a bit more heat, and the most ethereal tortilla chips we've ever eaten. The Elotes, a quartered corn cob topped with a masa crunch and queso fresco chamoy, is every bit as good as it sounds. The reposado flight featured Wild Common, Agave de Cortes, and Carabuena and is served with palate-cleansing orange and jicama sprinkled with sal de chapulines. Aguachile Verde, a vibrant, beautifully presented ceviche of red snapper, cucumber, and Serrano chilies served in a mildly spicy tomatillo sauce. I craved more acidity, however I can also acknowledge that, coming off of the guacamole, my tastebuds might have needed a reset. The Chuleta Asada, with Berkshire pork, snuggled into a salsa de queso, combined with the rice made for an exceptional bite. Caramelos de Carnitas was served on a wheat tortilla that was flaky and the carnitas were seasoned like their Abuela taught them how to do it. Flauta de Papas came presented stunningly and were promptly dispatched by my daughter. The Chile Rellenos’ exterior crust was so expertly fried that it retained its crunch until the last bite. When you cut into it, the queso Oaxaca oozed out so beautifully. The Tres Leches, with Chef Tavel's signature salted cream, coconut, and Jamaica sauce was the favorite of the night. Chocoflan isn't the classic cake and flan dessert but an actual flan that sent my eyes rolling to the back of my head in ecstasy. The apple sorbete was topped with thick, homemade chamoy, and sprinkled with Tajín. I highly recommend Mezquite!

   I really enjoyed this place. I had heard a lot of different views but it was delicious. It’s NOT traditional. It’s a take on a cuisine. The flavors are really savory and well paired. I had the elotes, aquacates tacos and a paloma. Tres leches for dessert. Enjoyed every bite of every dish.

   Great food and drinks! The decor and ambience is really cool kind of feels like you’re in Tulum/Mexico city. The lighting is kind of weird but depending on what table you’re sitting at. Otherwise great spot for friends or a date.

   It took over 20 minutes to get a margarita delivered. Service was very slow and food wasn’t up to usual quality

    This is the second time dining here and I experienced the same issue that I experienced the first time. Service… there were two guys working the host stand, one person pouring water, two others bringing food out, but ONLY ONE waitress taking orders and closing out tabs for 10 tables. I spent more time looking around trying to get my waitress’ attention than I did actually enjoying dinner with my family. Searching for, and waving staff down is the last thing I want to do at dinner. It’s not the waitress’ fault, rather whoever is managing the staff.
