★★★★★ 5.0 Zack Jones · Mar 2026

We weren’t sure where to get food. We had actually planned on Asian food but then last minute did a switch. Instantly we felt like we had made the right choice. Every bite was delicious. My partner said “I feel like I need to meet the chef.” Our waiter, Henry, was fast as lightning and had the best energy. Before I knew I could do a review I paid and tipped and left something like 40% for Henry. Good stuff Henry. Keep up the good vibes!

Absolutely incredible! You have to try this out! The food is perfectly seasoned and cooked! The birria eggrolls are the best I’ve ever had. Fajitas for two are perfect for date night and the margaritas are strong! And the cutest cat cup!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kushal Patel · Dec 2025

I stopped by Mazcal Cantina and was really impressed with the food and drinks. The veggie burrito was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and satisfying — truly one of the best I’ve had. The jalapeño margarita was also amazing, with the perfect balance of spicy and refreshing. The only downside was the service. I had to seat myself because the host was in the back chatting with the chef for about 20 minutes, which made the start of the visit a bit frustrating. Once I was settled, everything I ordered was fantastic, but a little more attentiveness up front would make the experience perfect. Overall, the food and drinks are outstanding — definitely worth visiting, and I hope the service improves because this place has great potential.

If you want to listen to great music and authentic Mexican food, this is the place. Noah was great, helpful and super friendly. We also met Carlos, the owner! We truly recommend this restaurant. Loved it!

★★★★★ 5.0 Anthony Bustillos · Feb 2026

Food and service were awesome! Came here to have some lunch and a drink, Johny guided me through the menu. Carne Asada was just great! Not to mention the drinks he prepared, right to the spot 😉 definitely coming back and bringing some friends 😀
