    From the moment you step inside, this restaurant captivates with its striking ambiance and confident menu, one that doesn’t just play it safe but dares to take bold, rewarding risks. My wife and I have dined here four times, and with each visit, we leave equally impressed and delighted, continually discovering new layers of creativity and depth in the cuisine. On our most recent visit, at José’s recommendation, I ordered the ribeye, a dish I typically reserve for only fine steakhouses or my grill. To my surprise, it was among the best I’ve ever had: expertly prepared, richly flavored, and paired ingeniously with a bacon-wrapped banana pepper stuffed with mozzarella. The combination was unexpected yet utterly harmonious, a masterstroke of culinary balance. The house salsa deserves special mention; it ranks among the best I’ve tasted anywhere in Michigan, vibrant with freshness and just the right heat. My wife is partial to the elotes bowl and queso, both consistently excellent. As for me, I find childlike joy in deconstructing the empanada, peeling away the crust and dipping it into their velvety guacamole, an indulgent, flavor-packed ritual I now look forward to each time. The bar program mirrors the kitchen’s confidence with well-crafted cocktails and an inviting atmosphere that make it a destination in its own right. In short, Mezcal delivers not just a meal, but a true Mexican dining experience, one that celebrates bold flavors, inventive pairings, and genuine hospitality.

    Had a great time. Yum food, service was good, drinks were nice. Staff was friendly. The best part was the free salsa class. Highly recommend!!

    This place is a hidden gem! I had my first visit tonight, and my wife and I were blown away by the food and the value. Wonderful food, great service, and a excellent, convenient location. We'll be back again soon!
