Mezcal Bistro & Bar

Quality Mexican food. I tried the vegan enchiladas and was kind of disappointed, they were really sweet, no spice added. However, I asked for a more spiced sauce and that was pretty good. The rest of my party really enjoyed their food. The inside of the restaurant was really nicely decorated and it was loud and bustling! Churros were really good! They could have saltier chips but maybe that’s just me

The restaurant is good with an excellent vibe. The relationship quality price is excellent. The mole negro is ok. The rojo is only Chile guajillo so don’t expect more. The mocktail is a very interesting combination between the sweet and the sour. Personally I believe that the chapulines had a lot of salt. But that is personal. You should give a try to this Oaxaca restaurant.

Excellent Oaxacan style Mexican sit down restaurant with amazing food, drinks, and a casual sit down ambiance. I highly recommend visiting this location if you enjoy Mexican food and enjoy a sit down higher quality food experience, and I’ve added it to my Google list of best Mexican restaurants in the Bay Area. Details follow: The highlight dishes here are mole based, which is a type of sauce that you can describe as chilis and dark chocolate - but you really have to try it to appreciate it. I suggest you ask to try the two types of moles and they will bring you a free sampler. There is free chips and salsa, but the guac is hand made and recommended! I suggest you either get the Enchiladas with Mole or the Mole and Chicken plate. Caution: the enchiladas are more traditional where you assemble them on your plate (pretty cool experience though) and don’t come pre assembled. Either way, it was still a fantastic mix of flavor and a unique experience that made me feel closer to traditional Mexico and less Americanized food. The cocktails here are fantastic. This restaurant has a dedicated bar. The drinks taste authentic, not watered down, and not full of artificial ingredients. Try the Mezcal here for a more authentic experience. Mezcal is described as a more Smokey tequila. If you want a margarita, they make a mezcal margarita. I tried it and it was amazing. There is amble indoor seating that is safely spread out as well as outdoor seating. There is an event area you can book as well. The bathrooms are extremely clean. The service is super friendly and well staffed! Parking can be tough but there is a pay to park lot nearby for 6$ an hour. Absolutely recommend visiting this place!
