This morning we stumbled upon this hidden gem! Absolutely the best breakfast I have ever had. The atmosphere, decor and music was upbeat and relaxed. The service was very attentive. We arrived when they opened and by the time we left the restaurant was filled with customers.
I don’t think I have had a margarita for breakfast before, but it was excellent and you could taste the fresh squeezed lime juice. The guacamole was soo good! My wife’s steak fajitas were very flavorful and my breakfast burrito was perfect. We plan to come back soon and highly recommend it!
Love this place. Nice upscale Mexican cuisine, excellent service, and intriguing art through out. Tried the trio cevice, trio guacamole, elote, and steak and eggs. Everything was delicious. Loved the coffee. Stumbled in on accident, will definitely return.
Absolutely love this place! I think this is the closest I've had to real Mexican food/flavor! I went once for a work lunch and loved their shrimp tacos & Paloma ! Today I took my boyfriend on a date and we had the traditional guacamole (super fresh and simple = delicious) the chips were fresh and crispy + crunchy. I had the salad (Joven & Dulce) I'm normally not a sweet in my food person but this was a great combo of fruits and veggies (not a fan of salads either). My boyfriend had the skirted tampiqueña steak and it looked amazing with an enchilada which was also great! Finally we had the lava cake or concoction and one of the best deserts I've ever had as well! I'm not too much of a chocolate cake/brownie fan but this is a must try. It comes in a tamal looking lead and simply delicious, soft warm and perfect! We ordered the Piñata drink minus the Chile and a great call as well. Tortillas tasted fresh and handmade. Salsas were savory also. Service great!
Plethora of Mezcal options do justice to the name but equally good food makes this place hard to pass when you crave a fulfilling Mexican meal. Got Elote Placero (Corns), Chicken Tacos (Tinga, Mole Poblano, Milanesa), and Pollo Com Mole de Pistachio Torta to share between 2. Corns were outstanding and Tacos delicious. Portions for Tacos were bigger than a standard size. Would definitely recommend.
Great ambiance, great selection and execution of delicious fine Mexican cuisine, great service. Eclectically decorated with unique art, furnishings, and fixtures. Mezcalina doesn't miss with the full experience of offerings to tantalize all of your senses. Definitely a "must do" for great Mexican food in Chicago.
Food was pretty good but portions were incredibly small, especially for the prices.
The food is amazing. You cannot go wrong. Drinks and desserts also hit the spot. 👍
Excellent food. Great tasting mole, ceviche and guacamole. They offer a huge selection of tequilas and mezcal.
Mezcalina is full of flavor. This Mexican restaurant focuses more on the quality of their meets and the flavor of their seasoning rather than the portions of ther dishes. Unlike other Mexican restaurants Mezcalinas serves adequate portions that make you fall in love with their deliciousness.

Food is hand made with care. The guacamole was fabulous. Great service, food and ambience. Hidden gem.
The brunch was amazing. The food items were almost simple looking but the flavors were outstanding. The eggs were nearly well done yet soft and filled with flavor. All fresh flavors work together and created a great experience.
I'm so glad to have found this restaurant. It is amazing to see the chef's appreciation for quality fresh foods, and their ability to bring all the natural flavors together perfectly.
The restaurant is bright and clean, it's an elevated experience with the high ceiling and all the nice art works even though I only had the brunch. The service was phenomenal. The server was very welcoming and personable.
Great service!! Every item on the menu is super tasty and they make fantastic margaritas too!

If you can make it when Roberto is in consider your dining experience automatically upgraded!
Just this weekend I recommended it to two colleagues from out of town and they said the same thing! Needless to say quality service is their standard and upheld as consistent as gravity on this earth!
