I was really disappointed with the food at mezcal. I would say it would be a good stop for drinks and appetizers but then head somewhere else for the main course. also it's expensive. more

We ate here for dinner on a Sunday night. The chips (super salty!) and the guacamole dip was excellent. For dinner I had the steak and substituted the rice for jalapeno mashed potatoes both of which were excellent. My wife enjoed it so much she returned for dinner with a friends a few days later. I highly recommend. more

When I saw that Worcester was getting a niche Mexican restaurant with over 100 different types of tequilas and mescals, I couldn't wait to have a place that finally knew how to make a traditional margarita. I was completely disappointed. The server had no idea what a traditional margarita was, any of the incarnations of it, and when she asked... more

One of my favorite restaurants in Worcester, located in the middle of Shrewsbury Street (where you'll have zero shortage of places to eat). I highly recommend their "flight" of guacamole (3 kinds made fresh... classic, crunchy, & tropical) and the pitchers of house margaritas are excellent for the value. Fun atmosphere, great food, nice venue for a date night or... more

This was very disappointing--don't try the gourmet guacamoles--stick to the traditional, which is made fresh for you and very tasty. The other items I tried: fish and chile rellenos were greasy, and even the nachos were unappetizing. more

I've been to Mezcal twice now... once in March of 08, and once just the other night (Nov 08). Our drinks were great, but the food quality in general went way downhill between visits... hoping it was just an off night? Guac was fabulous, as always. We tried a sampling of stuff from the menu, but when asking for a... more

Probably the best Mexican in Worcester. Great selection of Tequila. Food was ok, but not the best Mexican I have ever had. I have been there 3 times, and every time: The Gaucamole is fresh, but there are WAY to many chunky onions. There are always flys (even right now in late October.) It takes a while to get refills.... more

Very nice, higher-end Mexican food. Guacamole is made fresh to order and there are two new varieties with almonds .and cashews (but I'm a purist). The place was busy, the wait shorter than we were told (always a nice bonus) and the staff friendly and attentive, just like several other reviewers said. It is noisy. Definitely a place the 30-something... more

We were looking forward to a decent Mexican place in Worcester so we tried it. The guacamole was definitely excellent, as was the salsa. Unfortunately both our meals were overcooked and bland. I had the chili cumin rubbed pork tenderloin and my wife had the red snapper. Considering the price for the dishes ($18 and $20 respectively) we have no... more
