Mezcal Denver
Mezcal is an authentic Mexican taqueria and cantina serving home-style Mexican food, fresh lime Margaritas and over 100 Tequilas and Mezcals. The restaurant’s award-winning house Margarita is made with 30-30 100% Agave silver.
Mezcal’s warm décor, with Moroccan lamps and Mexican wrestling posters, embraces both traditional and popular elements of Mexican culture. The menu features familiar favorites like tacos and tamales, as well as lesser known dishes like pozole and a savory lamb barbacoa. Chef Robert Diaz’s kitchen offers up many dishes that reflect his native Chihuahua roots while others are regional staples that draw upon the varied culinary traditions of old Mexico.
Tequila tastings, special dinners, and offbeat celebrations of holidays from north and south of the border ensure that the next party is just around the corner.

"The last few times we were at Mezcal, we weren't as impressed as we had been when they first opened, but they seem to be back on track. My husband loved the pork belly tacos, my posole was quite good. Service was very friendly and efficient. Glad to have some good Mexican food in the neighborhood again!"

"Didn't have a great experience at Mezcal. After being seated, service was slow. The order for one person was totally forgotten, the when their food finally arrived, the steak was extremely undercooked. No attempt to remedy the situation was made. I'd be skeptical about referring Mezcal to my friends."
