Mezcal in Glasgow City

Had a great time at Mezcal. We ordered both pulled pork loaded fries and chicken tingle burritos - both were delicious. Star of the meal was the frozen margaritas. Very tasty and will be sure to return.

Average at best. Dry, pretty bland food. Service is shockingly bad, staff seem like they can't be bothered and spend more time chatting to each other than serving.

Food was good but we were charged for our 17 month old Grandson which put a real damper on the day. He only had a few chips and £8 seems excessive for such a young baby.

Loved it. Food was amazing and the margarita with mezcal is a must try. Plenty of choices and well cooked. The courses were quick to come out and the staff were excellent. My 11 year old son loved the fish tacos and was keen to try everything. Definitely worth dropping in.

I expected chilli ordered in a mexican restaurant to actually have chilli in it & not have to add shop bought chipotle hot sauce to it !! Fish tacos were ok but pretty bland hence the bottles of hot sauce on the table. The service was pretty poor but not the staffs fault very understaffed for a busy Saturday afternoon & had no time to ask if you were enjoying your food or not. Toilets were a mess & females do not want to use communal toilets after a table for 12 guys have been eating mexican food drinking beer for several hours. I have been in this restaurant before only a few weeks previous & food & service were much better but very disappointed in this visit.

Came here for a quick bite before the cinema at about 5pm. Service was excellent. We both got the tacos as were not too hungry and they were delicious. Want to come back again and try more things!!

food was bland, staff were rude, will not be back

I've been a couple of times for lunch when visiting Glasgow and each time I've had the same impression - well cooked, simple mexican food that's really tasty. The lunch deals are very good value.

We loved our deelish margaritas and kids menu was a big plus!

We ordered the birria tacos, which not only were they not birria tacos, I’m 90% sure they didn’t even use lamb for the LAMB birria tacos as it tasted exactly like pulled beef. Was extremely bland as well so even if they got the order wrong, it still was unpleasant. The waitress serving us had sat us in a dingy corner of the restaurant and then completely forgot about us for 15 minutes after already taking ages to give us the drinks menu. I also never got any chorizo in my beef and chorizo burrito which, again, hardly constitutes good service. The straws were also dirty and looked half chewed. Will not be coming back. Very disappointing experience for a restaurant that is meant to be excellent. Go to Topolabamba if you want a Mexican meal.

they saved me today! running late for a train and only had a few minutes to get takeout, yet they were able to have burrito in hand in that time i’m eating it now and candidly its the best veggie burrito i’ve ever had (i’m from vancouver) shoutout to the staff for helping me out (and also filling my water bottle 🙏)

Very good food & the staff were happy and very helpful which is very rare to see . Well Done and everyone should try there food 👍 .

Busy and bustling on a Saturday night in Central Glasgow. But, quick and attentive service. Superb food and drinks at very reasonable prices. I'll be back

Awesome food and great cocktails.

Great food and service. Will be back very soon x

Visited before seeing a show at the Hydro, the food was very good and the portions were a very good size. The steak burrito was immense. The service was also very good will be back!

Came here as it was recommended by a friend and we really enjoyed it! The food was really good and we were pleasantly surprised by the price we paid for what we had. Taquitos were a good size portion, did feel full after it and the cheesy chips were a really good size portion too Can’t fault the food however the service maybe could’ve been a little bit better - staff were pleasant enough but did feel a little like the bear minimum service being given to get the job done Personally it didn’t put us off though, would definitely return!

Nice atmosphere and lovely staff, but food was a little underwhelming.

Restaurant has a modern, youthful character. Music was playing and might be too loud for some, but it fits into the ambience of the restaurant. Food and drinks come very quickly.

Good food but a bit over priced and over salted, music is also very loud. Service was exceptional

Order the chorizo and potato sopes, very stodgy and lacked flavour. Didn’t eat very much of it. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to feedback to the waiter as he took the plate without asking how our meal was! My cocktail arrived with foil in it too, staff refunded us for this. Some of the staff were pleasant and chatty. Other half had a burrito which was delicious. Overall, a meal of two halves!

Extensive menu, friendly staff and great margaritas.

I had the Mezcal mule and chorizoypollo quesadilla. Forgot to take a picture but it was good!

We tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago! We cannot wait to go back. We turned up randomly and were accommodated very easily, which was lovely! The decor and the vibe were great! We had one staff member who was fantastic, very friendly and cheerful, the other staff members however, were much less so and we had to wait 30-40 mins for our plates to be cleared and the bill to be brought over. We didn't mind this too much as we weren't in a rush, and the food was fantastic. According to my partner, the Beef Tacos were delicious and the so were the Pork ones. the Vegetarian Gorditios and the Spinach and Potato Tacos were fantastic. We also had the tortilla chips and dip to start which were lovely. As for the margaritas, they were very tasty, if lacking in alcohol. I can't wait to go back!

My friend and I had king prawn and duck tacos, then shared the lamb quesadillas with consommé, all of which was great with the lamb option being particularly delicious. We both had a passionfruit frozen marg too which were delightful. The place is also very central (right next to Central in fact), had great service, and lives up to its reputation. Will definitely be back soon.

Great little place. Authentic Mexican food and drink. Service was so good and the servers were so helpful explaining menu. Would definitely be back.

Delicious food, great cocktails and the service is friendly and efficient. Third time eating here and will definitely return.

Decent food but I’m not sure what the paper on the plates is all about. Mine turned to mush under the wet food and I’m sure I ended up eating some. Seems quite unnecessary

We have eaten here several times, the food is tasty and consistent & reasonably priced, they have a lunch menu that runs til 3pm which is really good value and includes a drink costing < £12. It was quiet when we visited this week, the only thing I wish they do is turn the music down.. it’s distracting and you can’t hear each other.

3.5 ⭐️ Reasonably priced. Food was quite good - the margarita was okay, but I probably wouldn’t return for one The service was pretty slow but friendly.

Ate here last night. Good food , good service and good atmosphere.

Quaint little Mexican restaurant in a central location with nice food 😋

Pretty average food and the guy who served us was pretty blunt verging on rude. It isn’t expensive though so probably fine if you just want a quick bite before a gig or something. Just hoped for a bit more.

Food is easily 10/10, best Mexican you’ll find in Scotland. Great cocktails and amazing hot sauce selection too! Arriba! 🔥

They never answer their phone. Food is relatively authentic. Price is wayyyy over the top. As an American that lived in San Diego for years I know that this kind of food is nowhere near the right price. What you pay £15 for here you pay $7.00 in the states and you get better food. Way overpriced. Save your money and vacation to Mexico or the states and have a real experience

Great place, great staff and amazing food. Highly recommend

Great mexican food, but really let down by price. You don't get a big portion, while it is lovely food, it is very over priced and difficult to recommend compared to other offerings. I had beef chilli while my partner had a burrito, while the food was great but it was surprising how little food we got. The quality of the food was sadly overshadowed by the price versus portion size.

So being new to Glasgow, the greasy hair dude with the red shirt working on the 2nd March was so rude. We walked in asking for a table No booked Ok is there a chance of booking No Look at screen ignore us trying to the ask about take away Looked like a nice place to eat, but after this chap was rude, won’t be spending my cash here

Went to Mezcal tonight, the staff were rude and made us feel awkward that we had the 5pm deal. The food was great but staff didn’t ask if we wanted any more drinks and also didn’t come back at all during our visit and did not offer us the dessert which was part of the deal. I loved the food but will not be back due to the staff.

Fantastic all around... had carnitas tacos (delicious and fresh), birria quesadillo (superb and ridiculously rich), and guac. Everything was spot on. Nice relaxed spot, loads of hot sauces to try on each table, quick service.

TASTY food!!! Poor service, staff obviously on off day. Order a few plates to share. Unfortunately, waitress had no interest in us/helping out. We left hungry as we were a later booking and was told kitchen was closed after we ordered our tacos each. I think if we were told about the menu we would’ve ordered more and tried more but felt a bit disappointed and dismissed. What we did order was amazing so please give it a try but order a few plates! (Maybe we’re extra hungry who knows…) We will be back, hopefully a better experience and will order more delicious food!

Absolutely 10/10. Service, atmosphere and taste. Number one Mexican in Glasgow

Great food, served quickly. Decent lager on tap. Cocktails were okay but a bit expensive. Food was pretty cheap though. The corn and the chorizo taquitos were delicious. Staff were friendly and professional.

My waiter, Andy, made it a really welcoming and enjoyable experience. I would come back again in a heartbeat.

Came for a birthday meal and had a great experience. Was served by a lovely guy named Andy who was super friendly and was going above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Food and drinks were delish and service was fab

We were in last week for dinner and the food was great, thanks to our server Caitlin for being so attentive! Will definitely be back!

First visit yesterday, won't be our last. Staff were fab and friendly. Margaritas to die for what more more do you need!

Food nice and tasty. I will be back - although hopefully nearer the back away from the draughty door.

Highly recommended. Great food & service.

Me and my partner were dining at Mezcal a few times and we thought it's the best Mexican place in Glasgow until tonight... Mostly becouse of the female Server which presumed to be a Manager. From the very start she haven't even pretend to smile, just dropped off the food in a hurry to sit down back to her laptop, when it came to payment I was literally counting cash to pay for the bill as she asked me twice if I need a card machine. Me and my partner both work in hospitality so we always tip well and we were considering to leave a personal tip for the male server which was constantly closing the door for the draft not to come to the restaurant which was very much appreciated, but we were unsure if he would be able to keep it. As he was very busy serving most of the tables we didn't had a chance to ask him if it is a possibility and the "Manager" lady was so pushy to get the money we decided not to bother, put our jackets on and leave when she came back to slam the change back at the table. First but very big disappointed, it's gonna take us a while to come back.

Drinks were class. Food was class. Our server Caitlin was amazing. Definitely will be back.

Really enjoyed our visit The lunch deal was great value and vegan options were tasty. Excellent customer service too. Will definitely visit again and recommend.

Caitlin served us for my friends birthday and went above and beyond with a candle for us. We were there on a Wednesday so not super busy. Food was very colourful and came out really fast. Overall pretty good but lacked seasoning for my personal tastes.

Caitlin was the best. Great food!

Love it here been a couple times and each time the food has been amazing, so quick to come out. Had the chicken y pollo quesadilla and the birria tacos with consumé and omg, delicious. Highly recommend getting rice as a side with your birria so you can pour the remainder of the consumé in the rice it's so tasty and doesn't waste a drop 😂 Strawberry mezcal cocktail is the ONE. The churros are also amazing 😍

Service was poor, they got the drink orders wrong and we ordered food to the table that never arrived even though we asked for it. The table wasn’t cleaned before we sat down and had pieces of beef, sauce and was sticky from previous customer. The dirty glasses were not taken from the table so much so that we had six sitting on our table by the end of the meal. We were left with an empty table and dirty glasses but nobody asked if we wanted any more food or drinks or cleaned our table. We sat waiting for a dish that we ordered that never came out for over 20 minutes until we gave up. This was the first time we have been to mescal and will likely be the last which is a shame because we were celebrating a birthday, therefore this definitely damped the mood.

We just had a lunch, very tasty beef tacos, average giacamole nachos and good kids chicken nuggets.

Great find for Mexican food in Glasgow. I was pleasantly surprised by the decor of the place, uniquely curated artwork from South America/ Mexico. One of the few places I’ve visited that has a wide range of hot sauces, only making the meal more memorable. I had the pulled pork burrito, which was outstanding, but give the menu a shot, I’m sure they will impress!

Honestly have no words for how good the food is! The service from the moment we walked in was amazing the selection is perfect! Only issue is the pitchers they’re VERY pricey for the amount you get but other than that it’s an incredible little place to try and we’d happily come back again because there’s nothing to fault in the place the beef tacos are honestly one of the best we’ve ever had! ❤️

Fish tacos are not good, good choice of drinks, nice burritos and great atmosphere. Good manager who compensated for a member of staff.

Great atmosphere with delicious food 😋 I will definitely back there

Absolute gem of a place, we were all impressed with the quality of the food. Portion sizes just right. Staff lovely and happy for me to take away what we couldn't finish

Loved it so much we went back for another round! Amazing service and food!

Incredible cocktails (definitely try the mezcal versions!) And really good food, big portions and amazing flavours. Great value for money. Service was also great, friendly staff (especially the guy behind the bar) most of the menu is gluten free and menu items are indicated if not gluten free which is amazing!

Second time here. First time was years ago just for drinks and had poor but adequate service. This time we had food and it was delicious. Again, service poor. Went through the motions and got our food with no problems, fine. No check backs, no offers of more drinks…pretty basic. Enjoyed the food so much that we told the person clearing our plates (who I sadly feel may have been a/the manager) and he literally said “yeah yeah yeah” with a hint of a smile. Take the praise. Will return but might return the compliments or tip (that we weren’t thanked for).

Great location and different enough to succeed with Mezcal as a spirit growing in popularity! We had a pretty disappointing experience. We arrived for drinks only to a pretty empty restaurant and were served by a waiter who didn’t like or know anything about mezcal! Which is fine in most cases, but I feel like a base understanding of the menu and what was popular would’ve been helpful. We ordered a couple of drinks and got a water jug but the glasses it came with both had unwashed bits of lime all on the inside which the dishwasher just likely had not got out! We didn’t then see a waiter for 30 minutes to ask about new glasses or the an update on drinks so eventually left. There was a general sense that the staff were mostly students who didn’t really care about the establishment so Mezcal felt like a lost opportunity. We never got a chance to order food so no comment on that front.

This was an itison deal. The frozen margaritas were delicious in particular the lime. The guacamole was decent but there wasn't enough of it for all the nachos. The loaded fries were cracking. Loved them! The birria had a great flavour but the meat was a bit chewy. The carne asada was as I expected, good flavour & texture. Tacos did fall apart somewhat as others have said. Staff were a bit hit & miss. Didn't offer the ice cream which was supposed to be included as a dessert option. The churros were unfortunately a disaster, very oily & greasy which is not how they are supposed to be. With a few tweaks this place could be great though. It definitely got the right sort of colourful Mexican vibe. It was Friday, the 18th of August from just before 5pm.

Service was poor. Upon arrival and during our visit, the staff were not welcoming. My wife spoke to a member of staff when we arrived. The staff member walked away when my wife was still talking to ask her question. so rude! However we've heard great things about the food. The kitchen clearly doing a great job as the food was excellent. we had the Taquitos and Luch Libre chicken burrito. we also had a mountain of Tortilla chips with not enough guacamole. cocktails very over priced.

We went in for food with my friend and the food was absolutely delicious. The prices were reasonably good and drinks were so nice. The place was also stunningly. Definitely will visit again soon.

Really great experience. Fantastic food and fun atmosphere. We were served by Brandon who was fantastic the whole way through. Especially enjoyed the one winged bat hanging above the hot plate.

honestly when we came here yesterday we knew the food was going to be amazing just by looking at the chefs’ faces in the back and it didn’t disappoint, this was our first time trying this place out and it’s certainly my new favourite mexican restaurant, strongly recommend the chilli cheese fries, chicken tinga enchiladas and the pulled beef burrito!

Myself and my partner arrived at our reservation which we thought was at 7.30pm, we arrived on time but were then told that our reservation was actually booked from 7pm, so a mistake on our end. However we felt that the waitress that showed us to our table was visibly annoyed that we had shown up late (again, our mistake) but then sharply telling us that we had only 45 minutes to sit down, order, eat and go. We were made to feel slightly uncomfortable by arriving late, and therefore we very quickly decided what to eat and drink in a few minutes to avoid any more comments from the waitress. The food was great, no faults there! Overall a slightly ruined experience based on the service from this waitress, who might need to work on her people skills when serving customers as we were made to feel awkward and uncomfortable and as if she wanted us to leave. We would have let the staff know about this at the end of our meal, however when we asked for the bill, at no point did the waiter ask us how the food was or if everything was okay, and again when he delivered the bill, we were not asked how everything was and were just hastily presented with the card machine with no questions asked. We could hear the couple behind us also complaining about this waiters lack of customer service as well so we were not the only ones with this experience. Won’t be back in a hurry which is a shame as the food is great!

Been wanting to try this place for a while, It didn't disappoint. It was completely full when we got there but the food still came out rapid which was impressive. All the food was great and I'd never tried sopes before which were nice but the lamb tacos are absolutely bananas good! Also there's a a good variety of gluten free options which was extremely handy.

A great wee dinner stop, with friendly service. Have the home made guacamole and tortilla chips whilst you're waiting for your meal to arrive. Our mains were a decent size, full of great ingredients. I'd recommend using all the sauces to add some 'ooomph'. The frozen Margherita was lush, and whilst the beers are small (schooner size), water is provided at the table. I'll be back to try the loaded fries. They looked too big as a side for one, but enough for two to share.

Didn't send half of the order then tried to blag they were doing deliveries

Absolutely amazing food. All of our dishes were so tasty and the margaritas and sodas too. Really reasonable prices and lovely chatty, friendly service. Good came really quickly. Super-kitsch décor. We enjoyed it so much.

Absolutely 100% authentic Mexican tacos. Thank you for bringing Mexico to Scotland. Mexican approved! (My wife). I only wish they played Banda or reggaeton on the speakers 😁

Food is good. Pissed up family in the middle of the restaurant ruined the atmosphere but not the restaurant fault. Service good and friendly.. imagine there’s a phrase between DECENT and AMAZING.. Mezcal is that.

Service was nice and quick, food was amazing and fulfilling. I am really happy i walked into this place! Keep it up!

Great Mexican food. Frozen margaritas are great also

Ate veggie - overpriced and pretty unimaginative

The food was ok nothing special, but the service was horrible

Very good service, food was served quickly as I requested. Ordered the chorizo tacos and it was watery. A pile of mashed black beans and liquidy chorizo on top. I was hungry so ate in a rush and left. I was feeling ill the rest of the day. Vomited in the middle of the night. Something was not right with the food. It was on Friday, 14 July 2023.

The staff at Mezcal are so friendly and attentive. I went there on a Saturday night, around 8pm. So, it was busy. The atmosphere was lively. The margaritas were amazing. I had mezcal subbed because its smokey and good! I had a classic and a mezcal mule. The food came out super fast and was absolutely delicious. For starters, tortilla chips and quac, then for mains I had the birria quesadilla and OMG, it was fabulous, im still thinking about the food!! Will definitely be coming back soon😉

Not for romantic dates. But the food is great.

Tacos came soaked in water, disintegrated in my hand when I picked one up. Guacamole was bland, tasted as if they just stepped on an avocado and forgot to season it. After 40 minutes just as I just finished eating, I was handed the bill without asking for it in a “polite” way to telling me to get out.

Great wee place food was fab, a tad slow serving drinks overall great dinner.

Great Mexican food, the quesadillas are a 💯

As soon as we got inside it literally had such an authentic Mexican smell, the food was absolutely amazing. I've never had such good tacos outside of Mexico. Cocktails were also spot on. Highly recommend the mango and basil margarita.

Food was okay but the service was diabolical! Firstly, they got my order wrong and brought something completely different to the table and didn’t even apologise or acknowledge the mistake. Secondly, they prepared my correct order and left it under the lamp for 5 minutes whilst the staff were stood around it chatting to each other and not bothering to do anything. the restaurant was completely empty so they had no excuse. When I asked for the bill at the end the staff member, who looked to be a manager, didn’t even communicate with me as if i’d done something horrifically wrong. Will not be returning! 😡

The food service and staff are all fabulous.Tastiest Mexican we have ever had . Totally authentic

Very nice place, the birria and the pastor taco here do resemble the Mexican flavour, which is usually absent in most burrito joints in Glasgow. Props to the kitchen!

Awesome food in a nice and clean atmosphere. Good music. Love it!

This was a great experience! The food was so delicious and authentic Mexican. The young man who served us was so friendly and never stopped smiling. Great place, lively atmosphere and great value!

Had tacos and the flavors were fantastic! Only downside was that the tortillas didn’t hold - probably because they were sitting too long to be served. Other than that, it’s a really cool place and the frozen margaritas are delicious!

Amazing tacos and margaritas 🤤 plus cool place and friendly servers. I would come back anytime. Very authentic Mexican. We had the guac, pineapple pico, carne asada, lamb birria, and street corn. We drank the mezcal classic marg and pineapple chili marg, both were top notch. Everything was amazing. Do not sleep on the street corn!!!!

The food is amazing and pretty reasonably priced, I was entirely satisfied. Also really glad they take short notice bookings through their website!

Laid back place with sun trap in the evening. Fantastic staff, great drinks, decent food (choose tacos over sopes)

Asked for a fajita, got a burrito. Asked for hot salsa, got no salsa. Asked for guacamole, got no guacamole. Had to get burrito warmed up as it was not hot inside. I requested salsa, and got a watery version of spicy tomato ketchup. There was no trace of coriander/cilantro. Owner needs to get back in the kitchen and give staff training and ingredients to make Mexican food. I didn't get Mexican food. Wish i could rate it negative stars.

The list authentic Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico! Margaritas are beautiful, service is great - they catered to a large group of us for my boyfriend’s birthday with ease. Good value as well. Can’t wait to go back!
