This was our first time eating at Mezaclito. We visited the Durham location to celebrate our 15th anniversary. Maria Belen B was super nice and patient as a hostess. She answered all our questions fully and with a smile. The queso was good and the salsa was not spicy. We ordered the tropical ACP and the Enchiladas Mezcalito. Order to table time was about 20ish minutes. The atmosphere is very calming and relaxing. The decor gives way to a modern boho vibe. Would definitely recommend and return for a second visit. -
Came here with friends and had a really good experience. We ordered the veggie tacos and veggie fajitas, plus a few chicken entrees for the rest of the group. The food was fresh and tasty, and the mint mojito was especially good.
Service was also great. We were seated quickly, and they brought out chips and salsa right away and refilled them without us having to ask.
Nice ambiance, good food, good drinks, and friendly service. Overall, a very enjoyable Mexican restaurant and a place I’d happily visit again. -
The place is beautiful and has a very pleasant atmosphere. The food was beautifully presented and had great flavor. However, my steak was undercooked, and the cut was extremely fatty, with most of it being fat. It also took quite a while to arrive around 30 minutes.
On the other hand, the cocktails were delicious and very generous in size -
Walking in to this place during their cempasúchil decor is like being back home in Mexico! I wish I could I say the same about the experience but honestly the moment you walk in the staff did not greet us and instead felt like we were inconveniencing the staff by telling them we had a reservation. Our server truly ruined the experience even more. We got sat at 12pm and did not receive food until 2pm. I had to ask another server about our drinks since our server had forgotten about our entire party of 12. It took 30 minutes to get drinks and another 20 to order. I ordered the camarones à la diabla and was disappointed that they were not spicy at all and was missing flavor. My friends ordered other dishes like aguachiles which were delicious! The appetizers were amazing, the drinks were great. I wish I could say I’d come back but after traveling an hour just to be disappointed and met with unpleasant service, it would be a waste.

First time coming here to celebrate the day of the dead. With incredible and beautiful scenery, which felt like I was in Coco…I loved it, will definitely come back. Only 5-10 minutes to waiting for a seat. Definitely gets busy and the parking is crowded.
