"El Mezcal Cantina is one of our favorite places in the city for tacos, aguachile, and mezcal cocktails. And judging by the crowd during Happy Hour, we’re not alone. But another reason you should visit the colorful Point Breeze shop is for their crispy slices of Mexican perfection. Our go-to pies are the Huasteco—topped with poblano peppers, corn, and chorizo—and the Carnitas al Mezcal—a stunner that comes with a massive hunk of tender pork in the center. Show up for a casual meal, stare at the wood-fired oven until your pizza comes out, and choose from the dozens of tequilas they have to round out your night. " - candis mclean
