MEZ CONTEMPORARY MEXICAN REVIEWS
Stopped by here on Cinco De Mayo to celebrate at little while in town for graduation and looked them up. Very nice spot not far from Homewood Suites. The steak tacos with black beans and rice were good and hot! VERY FLAVORFUL!!! I really enjoyed the Blood Orange Margarita also!!! I will definitely visit again!!
The food and atmosphere and service are all amazing here. From what I could tell, most of the clientele come here for food and drink after work. Definitely try the corn soup - it's so creamy and rich. The Mezcal old fashioned was also delicious, make sure to get a double. Mez is perfect for a dinner gathering.
Held an event and the staff was great. Food was so good we went back the next night on our own for dinner. Service was fantastic then as well.

NUVOTACO REVIEWS
This Mexican place is the bomb! Salsa is very delicious and being born in Mexico very authentic. Chips are freshly made and the good oil. You will find a table by host then scan the AR code to order in the app, and servers will come to check on more salsa and chips as you wait to get deliver to your table your order. You can keep adding more items as you keep using the app. Once you are ready to checkout just pay in the app and viola. You are all set.
Just WOW! What a great spot! One of THE BEST margaritas I've ever tasted! Connor was amazing! Jennifer is so personable and really appreciates all her guests. We had the nachos and street corn. DELICIOUS! Will return soon!
My wife got tacos and I got the cbd burrito. The flavor and spices were so great. We loved the chips and salsa. Definitely worth the visit and definitely worth coming back for.

UNCLE JULIO'S REVIEWS
First time here and I must say I loved it. The decor and ambiance is absolutely beautiful. They offer you free chips and salsa when you arrive and the salsa is damn good! I ordered the beef enchiladas and they were a smash. I will say everything has a kick to it the beans the cheese sauce the salsa so ask your server what’s hot and what’s not before ordering. I love spicy so everything was great to me. I will return and recommend!
I've been to the one by Crabtree Valley Mall and lived it. I was out in this location for a doctor's appointment and decided to try this location. Love this location too. Taco tray was very good. I liked how they refill your toppings. I will definitely come back.
Great customer service. No wait time (we did go earlier on the evening). Food came out great and speedily. High quality and delicious as always.
