Mezcal 2 Mexican Bar And Grill — Restaurant in Clinton

I have been to this location before and usually enjoy the food and the atmosphere however on today's visit I cannot comment on those things because myself and the rest of my party were served chips and salsa and 35 minutes later we had still not been given menus or asked for our drink choices. At that point we had watched two other tables who had just been seated have their drink orders taken and our complimentary chips and salsa were depleted so we left. It was not quite the dining experience I was hoping to provide for my daughter and her fiance. They were quite busy with a line waiting at the door. Myself and two friends went there two nights ago when they weren't busy and we were told that if we just wanted to eat that was fine but if we planned on drinking we would be asked to leave because they were slow and the owner wanted to let his employees go early that night which was quite odd considering I have been there a couple of dozen times and rarely order any alcohol at all. One of my girlfriends did order a margarita with top-shelf tequila and they proceeded to serve her a margarita with the cheap tequila and tried to pass it off as the stuff she had ordered. In the end the owner apologized for their mistake and offered her a substitute. My next visit will determine whether or not I am eternally done with this restaurant. This place has always been hit or miss but two bad visits in one week is...

We've eaten here several times with friends, and they dine here often. We usually dine about 5 pm on a weekend, as it can become crowded as the evening progresses. There does appear to be a steady turnover of diners though, so I have never seen people have to wait long for a table.

The food is always good, the meal is preceded by thin tortilla chips and salsa, the waiters are quick and courteous, and our dinner arrives quickly. The restaurant is clean, bright, well maintained, and decorated in bright colors.

They have a very large menu. I usually get the carnitas (roast pork) dinner, which is a very large portion of meat, and it's served with rice, refried beans, guacamole, and Pico de gallo salad, for a reasonable $10.75.

Others in our group usually get fajitas or quesadillas dinners for similar price points. Tonight one had a spinach burrito, which was huge and easily filled most of a large dinner plate ( the sides were served on a separate plate). She said it was excellent.

A huge mug of beer ( Blue Moon ) was $5, and tonight they had a similarly huge house margarita available for about...

This place is family owned and and the momma is the owner and boss! And she is sweet and fabulous too! 👏💕 We had to meet her after our dinner to tell her what a wonderful job she had done with the décor, but Especially the food! 😋🤤😋👌 lol. We had chicken fajita platters and they were the Best I've ever had! The Arroz, Spanish Rice that she makes, is the Best Restaurant rice we had ever had as well! They Even put up the construction of facades of Mexican, adobe type home fronts, Along with All of the other fabulous décor! The place is adorable! Since she took ownership away from their old boss-man that they actually had been Employed under here. And now She's the owner! Ooh wee!
