What People Are Saying About Mezcal

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – A bargain hangout on bustling East Colfax, Mezcal attracts a following of ultrahip urbanites, concertgoers from the nearby Bluebird Theater and neighborhood regulars. The decor is bold and overflows with kitschy Mexican knickknacks. The highlight is the generous servings of no-nonsense Mexican fare: steaming bowls of posole with all the trimmings, soft corn tacos brimming with meats, and seam-busting burritos blanketed with piquant green chili.

Save yourself the time, money, & agony

by AndreaE

Oh my gosh... where do I begin? My whole experience with the folks at " m inc" has been awful to say the least. I recently threw a party for my husband at Rockbar and had Mezcal "cater" some appetizers for my guests. Based on my experiences in the past I was expecting a quality result. BOY WAS I WRONG! When I arrived and saw what was passed off as food I was dumbfounded. I had two cold trays of soggy "quesadillas" and one bowl of chips and guac to feed 30 people (And if I tell you how much they charged me per person you would be dumbfounded too!) Though I should have seen the writing on the wall as the "planning" process left a lot to be desired. From the beginning I could not lock down specifics from the girl that apparently m inc has employed as their key contact for events/catering. Not only did I not receive what we had agreed on in writing but there was a complete lack of follow-up on her part.

To say the least I DO NOT recommend using the folks at m inc for ANY of your event planning/catering needs!! Not only was my food cold & soggy I was rushed out of the area that I "reserved" at Rockbar... this was after purchasing 2 bottles of Mad Dog for what was to be their "bottle service" the only service I got out of the folks over there was a swift kick in the backside as they shooed my out the door because they told me they were expecting 300-400 people for the evening! Being good natured and noticing that my friends were having a good time on the dancefloor I allowed to them the space.. I can tell you I left at 1:00 a.m. and the space that I previously occupied was never used. Seesh!

  • Cons: See details!

Disgusting Food and Very Average Service

by bagelles

Went to Mezcal last night. Service was very, very average. Nice waitress, but average. My husband and I ordered a vegetarian combo to share and it came out with chicken in it. The toastata was stale and the food was by FAR the WORST Mexican food I've ever had. On top of it, Mezcal is insanely overpriced. A complete waste of money and we came home to eat after we left.

I highly recommend going anywhere but here. This place should just serve their over priced drinks and give up on the food.

  • Pros: They serve beer (that is thankfully not made by in house)
  • Cons: Food is barely edible
