First time here, just passed by and seen this place.
Cocktails are good and really friendly and attentive service.
I’ll come back again.

Ensconced away in the middle of Dalston this genuine Mezcal bar is a cosily decorated oasis to wind-down with great, legitimate cocktails and delicious Mexican snacks.
To the uninitiated, Mezcal, a spirit which, like tequila is made from cactus albeit through a different process is considered by many a mystical drink, because of its great feelgood powers, purity and strength. And whilst you are unlikely to get the real thing at a pub , owner Cesar will ensure you do, here, at his precious business.
The service is second-to-none.
I will definitely be back.

Yummers! After my meal, I was knocked into a food coma. The waiter did an excellent job. Easily earned their 5 stars! It's very authentic Mexican food, and as the name implies Mezcal is on the menu! Worth it!

Proper Mexican food. Good service. Cocktails are delightful. Sensible price. What's not to like?
E. H.
Delicious Mexican food and cocktails! My friend and I tried their vegan menu; it was very well thought-out and loads of choice. Amazing service, lovely people running the restaurant, we really enjoyed it and were absolutely stuffed afterwards!
K. E.
Incredibly delicious.
We were looking for a restaurant where to eat authentic Mexican food and we found the perfect place here in Mezcal.
It really was a surprise. Good atmosphere and good music.
The food and service was excellent.
I recommend you as main courses: Cochinita pibil and Alambre with chorizo, delicious both.
We drank a margarita and a michelada.
100% recommendable. We will return for sure!

If you want REAL Mexican — with wonderful service — this is your place. Growing up in the US, I never thought I’d find authentic, heart-warming Mexican food again since moving to London. I was wrong :) Enchiladas, tacos and margaritas are not to be missed.
I. E.
Everything was super good, food and drinks. staff was very nice too, felt like I was in mexico. Definitely recommend!!
D. C.
Lovely place with cool vibes. Amanda served us with extraordinary passion and kindness. Margaritas are top notch I recommend the Smokey one, and for food try the enchilladas. The owner stopped by our table and explained the difference between Mezcal and Tequila offering a free shot to try the difference, such a great experience, will be back with some friends soon.

Absolutely terrific, best Mexican food I've had in London. We arrived bang on five just in time for happy (two) hour(s) and got stuck into two for one margaritas whilst waiting for a friend who turned up at quarter to seven, by which time we were pretty trashed tbh. Ordered shrimp tacos and a bunch of vegetarian ones including cactus, and they were nice and big, with great flavours. I was particularly impressed by the shrimp ones because instead using a few massive gulf of Mexico shrimps, that just don't exist in the UK, they've used a big pile of smaller local ones, to great effect.
The waitress was super nice, noticed that it was my gf's birthday and brought free shots and gave us sombreros haha... would totally go again

I was in this restaurant last weekend. This restaurant was recommended to me and the truth was that they hit. The food is very good, we tried many things of the menu and it was very nice. As for the attention it was attentive, friendly and pleasant. They had great music and cocktails after dinner. And the atmosphere was very good ... Without a doubt I would go back.
J. H.
I love this place.
I have been here a few times with friends and family.
There is a happy hour for drinks, amazing cocktails.
The food is incredible, you get so much for your money, the steak fajitas were so good! A little spicy but good!
Fun music and upbeat atmosphere.
I cannot fault it.
N. S.
What a great place! Exciting cocktails and equally exciting food. Traditional Mexican dishes rather the standard burritos. The tostadas were exceptional. Even if you're not going to eat here, it's worth looking in just to see the neon graffiti on the walls and the multicoloured shrine to the Virgin Mary.
T. A.
I love this place :) I've always had good service and the food is always tasty. Portion size is rather big, so be aware if you decide to order starters and mains. Even though this place is not renowned for it's steak... I have had one of the best steaks at this place... 1 inch thick, and cooked to perfection with enough sides to shake a stick at.
S. G.
Popular Tex-Mex bang in the middle of trendy Dalston.
We visited during a busy Friday night and had a faultless experience.
Even through lots of our indecisiveness the waitress was friendly and patient. Once ordered the food was surprisingly impressive.
Worth visiting for dinner for two or parties. Definitely the most atmosphere in the area.
K. R.
I live near this restaurant and love it! As an American who loves Mexican food, I was thrilled when it opened last year: Authentic, delicious Mexican food in a fun and unpretentious venue, right at my doorstep. Nachos are yummy and super affordable. Drinks delicious too!
O. A.
So far the best authentic Mexican cuisine I’ve tried in London. Very delicious food accompanied by amazing Margaritas!
Very good and quick service, along with a gentle staff. 👌🏾
S. R.
Really enjoyed our lunch here. The food was fresh, tasty and plentiful. And our smokey margarita was delicious! They even provided crayons and a colouring book for our toddler. Will definitely be returning!
J. G.
Incredible place! Amazingly friendly staff. The food is beautiful and the margheritas are to die for! Will definately be coming back. The owners clearly care a great deal about their customers and it shows a great deal. Perfect for parties, dates and everything in between ❤❤❤
R. M. S.
After 2.5 years in London, I can say that this is the best Mexican food I've found so far in the city. The tacos are delicious, they have a black bean dip that goes along with the chips and guac, and a generous happy hour every day.
G. A.
Its Friday afternoon, you know what time it is? Burrito time.
I'm trying out this whole vegetarian thing (yes, I watched that Netflix doc) but I have this other thing for burritos - the ones full of delicious tender and juicy beef and chicken. So, I was keen to find a Mexican place that does good vegetarian burritos to fill that much missed meaty hole.
The place was quiet and lacking in atmosphere but the guy behind the bar was friendly and keen to help.
For £6.something you get a large wrap filled with fresh roasted vegetables full of flavour, guacamole, sour cream, refried beans and all that other tasty stuff as well as a soft drink and nachos.
Great price. Tasty food. Make sure you pop in!
S. L.
One of the best Mexican places in London imo. Mexican food by mexican people gives it authenticity.. good food, drinks and service value for money and so far when i have been there it has been consistent. they are new so take the negative reviews with a pinch of salt and definitely give em a try to see for yourself!!
S. T.
After many negative reviews I've seen I just felt I had to write on here. Both the food and service were excellent! Really tasty and authentic. Margaritas were great too. Will most definitely return!
I. S. Y.
A true Mexican place.
Good Food, Good quantities, very reasonable prices and a very friendly staff; they will make the most of your lunch/dinner and recommend you the best Spicy sauce to go with your food.
My Favs: Drinks, Ceviche and quesadillas.
Better to go when is not crowded.
J. P.
Awesome. Really friendly, relaxed and the food is quick and really nice. Do not hesitate to ask if you do not know what to order especially drinks, they have lots on offer. We will go back for sure. really cool to find a nice local restaurant full of character, tasty food and great owners. GO GO GO.
I. K.
Went there just for a drink... Ended up having a blast. Had lovely food and of course few shots of tequila. After eating we danced the night away. Good atmosphere and staff.
T. P.
Very friendly and helpful staff who know their history of Mexican art.
The nachos are delicious! Full enough for 2 or 3...
The all day breakfast is delicious also!
E. V.
The best homemade triplesec margaritas, friendly staff, family running restaurant and the food amazing highly recommended place great atmosphere just the best 5*
j. r.
Food is not particularly good, service is friendly but very slow (even with the place almost empty due perhaps to a table with two out of control children running around screaming while their parents are oblivious). White wine is warm. Just not impressed.

We came here for my boyfriend's birthday and I would definitely recommend it for a night out with a big group. Great cocktails, traditional Mexican dishes like pollo con mole - a little on the heavy side for my liking.
s. a.
Amazing new mexican in Dalston!
all the staff are from Mexico and even the chef! who ( rumor has it) also is the chef for the Mexican ambassador in London! SO YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH THAT!!!!
Burritos and Enchilladas are amazing,
cocktails are superb! ( try the Tequila Sunrise)
service is spot on and the atmosphere is great!
S. R.
As a native Mexican, would definitely recommend! Very authentic flavors, was amazed to find it tucked away up in Stoke Newington and not in Borough Market or Soho. Definitely one of Stokey's best kept secrets.
O. B.
Good food, shame about the service! As other reviews have noted it takes a long time for your food to come. Also I've been here twice and they've got my order wrong both times. Still it's a fine enough place to hang out and have a chat and the staff are very friendly.
J. C.
Authentic food with nice service. Drinks are great too with a wide range of Mezcal. Fun decor with a great Dalston feel. Second time here and love it.
M. D.
Best non-chain Mexican/Tex Mex restaurant I've encountered in London. Lunch specials, friendly waiters and authentic programmes on the tv. I wasn't disappointed and don't think you will be. Also, those Margarita's
A. S.
Good range of food from across Latin America. All tasted great and reasonably priced. I also liked the artwork on the walls.
R. S.
The best margaritas, the cocktails are to die for. I preferred it when it was purely a cocktail bar, next to former restaurant, Mercado. But so glad the spirit of the old places lives on here.

Viva México! We were so happy to find the authenticity and the flavor of Mexico in the hearth of Dalston. Great space, music and FOOD! Thanks to all the team at MEZCAL!! And honouring its name: bests best shots of Mezcal ever, try the pechuga one, arriving directly from Mexico once a month. Love Mezcal @ MEZCAL
E. R.
Great to have them back, love this place
R. A.
Very authentic Mexican food and lovely people! The owners of the place are great hosts and the food is very tasty. Recommended place to get REAL Mexican food. They have a great pozole on the weekends. Thoroughly recommended!
J. S.
AMAZING SALSA AND NACHOS
Extremely friendly staff. And great management who were very generous in giving me extra salsa to go away with, because its so good!
p.s also makes a great alternative to chutney ;-)
J. G.
5*! best nachos I've ever had over here!! Better if you have a mojito as well. The staff was also very kind and helpful.
L. G.
Absolutely love this place! The fish tacos are incredible, the margaritas are divine, the hibiscus drinks are delicious and the owner and staff are so welcoming.

I’m so happy this Dalston staple is back in its original home! Best food, amazing selection of mezcal based cocktails and most run by really friendly people.

As a native Mexican, would definitely recommend! Very authentic flavors, was amazed to find it tucked away up in Stoke Newington and not in Borough Market or Soho. Definitely one of Stokey's best kept secrets.
