★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ned’s Eats Detroit · Jan 2026

Mezcal is more hip than the average Mexican restaurant, but the food ultimately misses the mark. The chips trio and esquites are decent starters. As for the entrées, I’ve tried the birria tacos and the hamburguesa de pastor, which is no longer listed on the online menu. The pork itself was fine, but the concept of the dish was puzzling. It was essentially an al pastor taco served on a hamburger bun instead of a tortilla. The fries it came with were over-seasoned. The birria tacos were spicier than they should have been. This was my favorite part of the meal, though that isn’t saying much. For dessert, my wife and I shared the pan de elote (Mexican cornbread), which has also been removed from the online menu.

Excellent experience! My friend and I went without making a reservation. I was exceptionally impressed by the service we received. The drinks and the food were delicious and served with care and expeditiously! The manager of the restaurant is dedicated and attentive to his pattins. Thank you!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Josh Walker · Dec 2025

This place is so slept on and the vibes are immaculate!!! They show genuine care in the details and it is always worth it. Probably some of the best drinks in the city and the food options are actually delicious. The chicarron ribeye and the ribeye tacos go craaaazy. Its not like small pieces of steak but like someone actually cooked a ribeye and sliced it into tacos. Also server was Jose full of suggestions and good vibes. Very welcoming and me and my lady will 100000% be back.

This is my favorite place to go to downtown Detroit for Mexican food. It is authentic. It is delicious. The food is always fresh. It is season two perfection. I have yet to be disappointed. I work in the nearby hospital community and I recommend this place to all the patients all the visitors, any guest all my coworkers I want to revisit this review to add that I went to the location in Ferndale. I ordered a nachos because someone said it was huge. It looked like mush. I and for the rating that I gave it and I will continue to go to the one in Midtown Ferndale. Please do better.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sierra Sibert-McLeod · Mar 2026

I loved this place. Janeth’s service was amazing and made this experience 10x better. Didn’t have to wait for her to come to our table. Didn’t have to ask for napkins. She was wonderful. And the burrito I had for lunch was perfect. Especially with my favorite part, the queso! Will be back soon!
