El Mezcal — Restaurant in Memphis

Went 2 days in a row (so I'm sure you are guessing that I enjoyed my meal the first day)..day one I was craving Mexican nachos where they actually use cheese sauce and not shredded cheese . While searching I came across a photo of thr nachos at this place. So okay. I'm trying them. Went at lunch. Warning, parking is.... a little difficult (or maybe not if there is parking behind the business. But since this was my very first visit, I don't know)..I was seated right away by friendly staff and my order didn't take long to come out.. GREAT.. I ordered beef nachos and a side of Pico de Gallo. Nachos were delicious and hit all the right spots. I left stuffed and satisfied. Day 2 my co worker was craving cheese dip. We go to another spot but there was a 20 minute wait so I suggest we head back to El Mezzcal. I decided to try the taco salad. Filling and very good (their shell was awesome). My coworker ordered the supreme nachos (I think it was called) only chicken.. She reported that it was very good.. came with veggies,, avocado slices and the works. Day 2 was great. Service and all mirrored day 1. I, for sure, will be back. AGAIN

Update 5/16/23. I have been back to this spot over 20 times since the first review. Can I just say that the food has been consistently great and the service always pretty good. Obviously this has become one of my favorite Mexican spots. Check out what my tastebuds experience. You won't be...

I just love this restaurant they never let me down. Great vibes true authentic Mexican style restaurant with great Mexican music. They have everything from steak chicken shrimp beef you name it. The spices the seasoning on every dish is amazing. I hope this review makes somebody hungry because if you are come and get it to me it's the best in town my favorite dish me and my mother order is that Pollo Jalisco it's a cheese sauce with shrimp chicken and mushrooms. You also get rice sour cream lettuce and Mexican style salsa. Along with 3 flour tortillas and unlimited chips and salsa. What more could you ask for it also has a great kids menu. This restaurant is truly my favorite and I hope it could be yours if you are in line foursome fine Mexican dining great atmosphere great music great vibes this is the...

The staff has always been courteous and friendly, but professional and not overbearing.

Food is always on point, on time, and I rarely don't clean my my plate. Ive had half the menu by now and never been disappointed.

The margaritas are sublime, and I dont even really like margaritas. Everything is reasonably priced for what you get, and you get quite a bit of it.

I'm not certain how the service is when they are busy, as I've never been here when they were, but I imagine they would run into the same problems any resturaunt would have. Get over it, people.

Personal favorite dish so far: Burritos and tamales with beans. It's a unattractive mess of "dude food" but pretty...
