"Decided to give this a place a go as we'd been to the Mexican next door and thought it was okay but not amazing (and despite the £2 tacos offer, actually turned out way more expensive than you'd imagine) We arrived at 5 in time...for happy (2) hour(s) and got stuck into two for one margaritas whilst waiting for a friend, who didn't show up til quarter to seven, so we were pretty trashed by the time we came to order food, but I stand by my conclusion that the food was cryworthy, easily the best mexican food I've had in London. Portions were great and I was particularly impressed by the use of (loads of) small local prawns in the tacos rather than a couple of large battered ones, which, though more likely to be used within spitting distance of the gulf of mexico, don't really turn up fresh here, so always end up being a bit disappointing cos it's not an american shrimp taco. Honestly, I'd take the lots of little shrimp' version over that any day. Super nice. My second favourite were the cactus tacos, which I guess used pickled cactus, they were a bit much for my girlfriend's taste but I loved em. The waitress was super nice, and noticed that it was my gf's birthday and brought us free shots and did the whole it's yr birthday so you get to wear these sombreros' thing, which was hilarious and excellent. Definitely going back! BTW this place has moved back to Kingsland Road, Dalston, but there doesn't seem to be a page yet."

Popped in for dinner one Sunday evening. The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The prices were typical London prices. The service was great with really friendly staff.

Mezcal has great food, a lot of genuine reviews I read on Facebook about this restaurant came from people who had a good visit and enjoyed food. In my experience, their tacos are awesome.

I have been there a few times and I walk by it quite often. There is always a nice ambience, with live music sometimes. The service is super attentive and the margaritas delicious. I had better mexican food in London though.

Wow! I did not expect to find such a gem in Mexico City. The food at this restaurant is absolutely incredible. The subtle and sometimes not so subtle spices are amazing. The drinks, like the margaritas and mezcal, are excellent as well. Many thanks to Gemma and Cesar for a wonderful dining experience. Voir le carte

I visited Mezcal with friends and were pleased with the great atmosphere and music at the restaurant. However, we waited for an hour for our food, only to be told that our order had been lost. We were then informed that the kitchen had run out of certain ingredients, such as prawns, which they had to buy, so the wait was not worth it. The tacos we eventually received were terrible and the rice we ordered on the side was subpar. Unfortunately, we were not offered any compensation for our disappointing meal and had to specifically request a round of free tequila. This was a very disappointing dining experience and I do not plan on returning to Mezcal.

No wonder there are so many different reviews it's such a varied place. Loud lively music, and clearly Latin families having a lot of fun! Excellent cocktails and bottled beers (short South American list and Mexican spirits.But... had to wait ages to be served. I mean really ages. I mean if i wasn't being plied with exceptional booze and lively music, I probably would have left, ages!Then when the food came it was pretty meh to be honest. Okay, but not as good as the surroundings (there's a nice atmosphere there or aforementioned drinks.But I've still given the 4 out of 5 because I had such a nice time there. If only it was a family friendly bar with snacks, rather than a (misfiring restaura...

Although it was a busy Friday night, the service at this restaurant was incredibly slow. We ordered the nachos, but the first serving was cold and the cheese was not melted. After politely asking for another serving, we encountered reluctance from the waiter who explained that the restaurant was busy and they were working as quickly as possible. After some back and forth, we received a second serving of nachos that was marginally better but still below average. The tacos were dry and poorly assembled, falling apart as we tried to eat them. I would recommend avoiding the fish and prawn tacos. When we asked for the bill, another server inquired about our experience. After explaining our disapp... Voir le carte

I've never written a one star review before, but I am really disappointed/angry with my experience here. Visited with a friend as we thought it looked quirky and fairly busy. It took ten minutes for our order to be taken. Ten minutes later the waiter came back as he'd forgotten the order and our wine wasn't available. We were annoyed but these things happen. We ordered two large starters to share, nachos and tacos, which took 50 minutes to arrive. Both average. The toilets had no where to dry your hands and the handwash was watered down. This is OK for a household but it makes me question the cleanliness of a business serving food. Upon receiving the bill I requested the service charge to be...

It was a cold evening and I fancied a spicy, hot meal ... and Mezcal caught my eye, just across the street. Staff were welcoming and I was able to sit anywhere as the place wasn't very busy. The food and drinks menu is fairly typical of a Mexican restaurant. As soon as I ordered, two young children at a nearby table started to play up, shouting and jumping on chairs. The parents were hopeless, presumably thinking their children have a right to spoil everyone else's dining experience. The children then began running around the tables, shouting and screaming. The older child pushed a younger child over deliberately, but still nothing said by the parents. While this is not a fault of the restau...

"A friend and I stumbled on to this neighbourhood restaurant by chance; no research, no booking, no expectations. We were then blown away by the quality of the food: wonderfully fresh fish, beautifully cooked. The service is also exemplary. I've always enjoyed calamari, but this was by far the best I've ever had: truly succulent and juicy. The mussels were almost as good, and the sea bream kept up the standard. The spiced quince with ice cream made a nice change from baclava in a Turkish restaurant (they still threw in some baclava). The owner, Tony, provides excellent recommendations — make sure you take them! He knows what's fresh that morning, and how his wife cooks it. The bill comes hand-written, and Tony forgot to include the wine (obviously I corrected him). I can't remember the last time a restaurant bill made a mistake in the customers' favour! No service charge is included, and it deserves a lot more than the usual 12.5%. This is a wonderful, old-fashioned restaurant, run by a charming old couple, committed to maintaining old-fashioned standards. The food is more than great and the prices more than reasonable. Service is personal, honest and responsive (providing Tony turns his hearing aid on). Tony warns you if anything you wanted was bought in, rather than home-made. Why don't unassuming but wonderful restaurants like this get Michelin stars?"
