Urbana Mezcaleria — Restaurant in Grayson

UPDATE:

I originally reviewed this restaurant with 5 stars in July 2025. Did another visit on August 12 and had a different experience. The server is still great, however, the food took a decline. I would rate this restaurant 3/5, as the food is just average now. The cheese dip I raved about is now the typical thin cheese dip found at most Mexican restaurants. The tacos had less char, less flavor, less meat and less pineapples overall for the pastor. The asada was fine, I still think this is probably the best asada tacos in the area but the pastor took a major dip in quality. Whoever was cooking late at night on my first visit that prepared the food for that day should be brought back and become the supervisor of the kitchen.

Also this place may want to do some social media marketing because it is ghost town on Taco Tuesday.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

This location used to be a different restaurant called San Lucas. That restaurants food was HORRIBLE with all three visits.

Urbana street tacos are very good and they give you a big portion of the protein. Best street tacos in the Grayson and Loganville area by far.

The cheese dip is thick and flavorful. Again the best cheese dip BY FAR in the area. As it’s normally thin and flavorless.

I wish they did pork enchiladas, but the chicken enchiladas had good flavor and was prepared perfectly. I am just not a fan of chicken enchiladas but wanted to test the restaurant.

Our server was very attentive and friendly also.

Will definitely be returning and hopefully they don’t do what most restaurants do which is change suppliers and recipe several months...

Got the chips and dip as is typical at most Mexican restaurants. The chips were good. The dip was a little spicy for me and had an odd aftertaste. The espresso martini was good. I ordered the shredded chicken quesadilla. It comes with the typical salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. The grilled chicken quesadilla was brought to the table. I asked the runner if it was actually the shredded chicken quesadilla because that’s what I ordered. She said yes. I think she either didn’t understand, didn’t hear me correctly, or both. She said, yes. So when the waitress came over, I asked her and she said my order was mixed up with another table. I finally got the shredded chicken quesadilla. It was meh. Lacked flavor and was soggy. I didn’t get much sour cream either. I ate a few bites but was very underwhelmed. I won’t be returning. There is nothing special about this place and I had to yell across the table to talk to my company....

Absolutely loved everything about our experience at Urbana Mezcaleria – Grayson! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The manager Miguel is very welcoming and made sure we were taken care of. Our food came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—every bite was delicious!

We especially appreciated the thoughtful service and how knowledgeable our server was about the menu. The drinks were on point too—creative cocktails with bold flavors. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the overall vibe here.

Highly recommend for a date night, girls’ night out, or just a great meal with friends. Can’t wait...
