El Mezcalito Mexican Grill

$87 meal. Not a single dish was edible. The steak a la Mexicana is described as a grilled ribeye with onions and tomato’s and came as chopped up meat inside of an exceedingly spicy stew sauce. The tacos were sitting in a pool of grease. The enchiladas irked into complete mush, one big pile of mushy ingredients, and the guacamole was FULL of onions. I called and asked for a refund and they said I would have to bring back all of the food to get a refund. They were so good when they first opened but now the food is awful, and expensive.

OH MY MEXICAN FOOD!!! Had this place on my list for a long time and so glad we stopped. The guacamole was amazing as well as the queso AND the salsa! Had the al pastor tacos and they were amazing! The arroz con pollo was extremely tasty as well! Will definitely be back!

Food and service were excellent! Henry took great care of us and was an amazing server! Our food- the Mexican street corn, shrimp ceviche, Hawaiian Salmon, and chicken fajitas- was delicious! We will be back!

I have been here several times and Mezcalito is always a good choice for Mexican food. The chips and salsa is so tasty that sometimes I fill up on that before my food arrives. Service is typically quick to get food to the table except on Valentines day when it was packed and the food took an hour to arrive but every other visit has been fine. Chicken and steak fajitas is my favorite and they always taste good. I got the Carne Asada once which was good but I like the steak in the fajitas more. My wife got the Nachos supreme (beef and chicken) which she likes a lot. I always take guests from out of town here and I always hear praise about it. 5/5 stars I will come back but maybe not on a holiday.

Way overpriced. I ordered Chilaquiles. This were not on the menu so they made them for me. $24 for this plate is unheard of. The most you are to pay for this breakfast type of Mexican plate is $19 even in today's economy. The server was nice, so customer service was alright. I won't be going back, too expensive for the quality of food.

OMG...This is the most delicious Mexican Food. We went weekday, lunch, great food, great specials, great prices, and great service from Austin. We each brought home enough food for another meal. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Me and my family went tonight & food was delicious. Very large portions. Very fast service! Very nice waitress. Food was very authentic . Great price & we really enjoyed the Birria tacos, empanada appetizer, and fresh chips and salsa. My children normally do not like going out to dinner however they now request to go here every week! Best rice I’ve tasted. Will be our new favorite Mexican restaurant . We got pictures after eating half. So gooood. Definitely a must when craving Mexican food.

We've been there several times and the food is usually good. Our server Henry was really nice too but the last time we came the boss was hidding beer cups and drinking like customers wouldnt notice, but we do. he was also yelling at his employees in a innapropiate way. It made the the whole place feel uncomfortable even though the food and service were good. I dont usually write reviews but this one is necessary. Definitely never come back.!

This has become my new go-to Mexican restaurant if I'm craving something delicious. Their alcoholic drinks are good, the wait staff is friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious. I've tried multiple things off the menu at this point, and it is always good, and they have very good vegetarian options for those that are vegetarian.

While in the Palm Bay/Melbourne area, I met up with a friend and we decided to try El Mezcalito and we are glad we did. Our server Henry Giovanni was really attentive and provided excellent service making sure our glasses were full and all questions answered. The food was really good and excellent value via the lunch menu. It has all of your expected Mexican fare dishes and offered a kids' menu accompanied by coloring sheet and crayons to keep the younger ones patient and entertained while the food comes out. It was not a long wait at all and our selections were delicious- see pictures. I recommend this spot and they do have a variety of drink options!

I finally found a Mexican restaurant in this area with decent food. The decor is what you would expect from an American style Mexican restaurant, colorful flags, piñata and stuff hanging from all parts of the ceilings and walls with a large bar centered in the room so typical yet fun! Fresh chips and salsa are placed on the table as you are seated. We were immediately approached by our server who was friendly and very polite. We ordered margaritas which came beautifully decorated with flowers and fruit as garnishes, they were delicious strong and well priced. We started with ground beef nachos which were well prepared but perhaps a bit greasy. We had a Mexican shrimp cocktail, one of my favorites), which was a meal in itself loaded with tons of shrimp and avocado in mildly spicy cold broth to be eaten with a spoon like a soup. We also chose to have a Mexican rice bowl with grilled chicken also well made and delicious. The menu here is extensive with over 100 items so come hungry and ready to eat.

Experience: Came here for a late lunch on a Thursday at 2:00. Facility: it's a nice little place with booths and tables and chairs. It is located in a strip mall. Service: We were seated right away. The waitress was very nice and checked on us a few times. Good came out very quick... not enough time to finish the appetizer. Food: the salsa was VERY good, but the chips were not. They had an old, harsh flavor. It's too bad because I just loved the salsa. We ordered the stuffed jalapeños for an appetizer and they were absolutely amazing!!! It was stuffed with goat cheese and on top of a balsamic salad. The spicy, sweet, sour, and rich flavor combination was a hit! Both of of just raved about that dish. Then I ordered the carnita, and they were good but not great. Some of the meat was a little too dry. The rice was good too. My friend ordered enchiladas and said the same... good but not great. Overall: I will 100% be back for the salsa and stuffed jalapeños!!

Enjoyed lunch at this Mexican restaurant today with my daughter. We ordered cheese dip with jalapeños. The brought a side of jalapeños that we had to cut up ourselves and throw in but the cheese dip itself was not very warm. The cheese quesadilla was good. The chicken chimichanga lunch special was very good served drizzled with hot melted queso along with rice and lettuce, guacamole and sour cream. The establishment was very clean and colorfully decorated. The service was very prompt. My daughter has to send her sweet tea back as it did not taste good. Other than that I recommend for a good meal. We will be back. The salsa was refreshingly delicious.

Love this food! The atmosphere is so Mexican... Happy flags, Mexican music, and bilingual servers. We love the Nenas enchiladas, the Street corn, and the guacamole Fresca. Absolutely delicious.

We always love our food when we go. Nice atmosphere. Every other week they have a Mariachi band. I wish it was consistent though because it does change when they come. I will say, that the earlier you are, the more "off" the service is. But when we come for dinner it's always amazing.

14 stars Got sit right away the best server is yachtsue drinks as soon as we got sat. Did not wait a hour. Was not canned tomatoes that a relief. That queso was the best one ever I saw the light of heaven after. Dude I have to tell you to order the steak taco and I tell you omg the best ever the manager is the best I'm coming back

Food was very good at a fair price. The service was fast and friendly with some suggestions made and questions answered. Even though it may be somewhat loud and noisy, we enjoyed our dinner there.

I love!!!!! This restaurant. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by a few items: their salsa, chips, guacamole, queso, and their tacos Al pastor. These are basic items in any Mexican restaurant menu that should be consistently good. This place met all the check marks and then some!!!! The food is authentic and diverse. Everything I have had here has been amazing. From their guacamole maya with bacon to their queso fundido. Their choripollo is outstanding. Of course the tacos Al pastor rock!!!!! I love the jalapeño margarita and their pineapple margarita with a little jalapeño thrown in. I come down here for work and this is my reward. In addition I bring Togo plates home to my hubby and son. This place is in a small strip mall and does not look impressive from parking lot. Please walk in and treat yourself to authentic, delicious , Mexican food and margaritas. You will make excuses to be on this side of town just to eat here!!!!

Eli was our waiter tonight and he was absolutely phenomenal! Despite them being extremely busy he accommodated us so well and made us laugh and had a wonderful time! The food was amazing and this place has the best salsa I've ever had! Margaritas were so good too! 10/10 we will be back!

This is one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area. Food is fresh and plentiful.margaritas are affordable and staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

I had Nenos Enchiladas from the lunch menu and a Diet Coke. The food was terrific. They brought plenty of fresh hot tortilla chips and salsa to begin, and lunch was pretty prompt. Staff was friendly and always had what we needed near to hand. My enchiladas were amazing. The mole was so good! The atmosphere was casual and the price was very reasonable for the quality and amount of food. Highly recommended!

10/10. The goat cheese stuffed jalapeños are a must. Get your own order! I went out on a limb and ordered what I thought would be a smallish dish of raw or cooked in lime seafood. What I got was the absolute most delicious tower of seafood that was as big as my head. It was full of spice and lime. Wow. Just wow. Probably the best Mexican food I have had between Alaska to Florida!

Good service, food and ambiance . Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures. I definitely will be back.

I thought a side of guacamole at 3.99 was a lot until I realized they gave me this huge container. I'm in love

Yum! Some friends recommended this place and I had passed it many times but never gave it a try. The food here is really fresh and delicious! They have a wide variety of options on their food and drink menus. The chips and salsa seemed freshly made. All of our entrees were a large portion size and so good! I had a mocktail and it was very tasty just as a frozen treat. My friends had margaritas that looked and tasted amazing. I look forward to trying them. The staff was attentive and kind even when we stayed all the way up to closing and they were cleaning up. We had no complaints. Everything was decently priced for the amount you're given. I'll definitely be returning.

I really enjoyed the quality flavor of the steak. The service was excellent and enjoyable. The restaurant is clean and quiet. Highly recommend for authentic, flavorful food.

SO happy with the new tortillas they're using! The quesa-birria is so much better and genuinely helps the craving of some good Mexican food out here in Florida.

Came back and it is still the best Mexican food I have ever had got different tacos and they were amazing

If 10 stars was avaliable I would leave it. Yachtsiri was the best, friendly waitress I've ever had and I'm 64. Queso was the best, chimichanga was the best. Everything we had was th best. I've travel all through Mexico & Texas and tasted food this authentic and delicious. But hands down yactsiri was the best. She needs a raise. We will be back soon Hopefully next week

Get ready to enjoy THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD!! Not a joke. Why haven't we been going here?! We will, for sure. It just moved to the top of our favorite Mexican food restaurants. The service was perfect. And it felt welcoming. It is definitely a winner. The portions were large and delicious. Stop in and try it out

Fabulous AUTHENTIC Mexican cuisine! Wonderful selections and flavors!! I really enjoy and definitely recommend the Carnitas in Salsa Verde!

Let's start with the food: Plentiful and sumptuously prepared. The prices are more than reasonable. Don't assume a low price translates to small quantities or quality. Example: The "Sopes" are 10.99 and consist of 2 Sopes. 1 Sope was enough for one person. Service: I ordered via DoorDash...preparation and delivery was fast. Ambiance: No clue! Order was delivered. Try the burritos and Sopes!

All the food was very good, the chips, salsa and guacamole were very fresh. Margarita was good, should of gotten a second pitcher. Chimichanga was good, although tacos were not the best, not sure why they put guacamole and pico on the side of the tacos? Other then that good restaurant, we will be back!

Best margarita I have ever had. I got the pineapple margarita. It was so good and tasted so fresh. Taste of alcohol was subtle - not overwhelming at all , but not a weak drink either. Will definitely be coming back.

1st time here and we will be back! Martin & Austin were amazing and took great care of us. We only had margaritas and an appetizer but we will have dinner next time! Smells good and was clean. To go margs as well people!

Stop in for lunch, restaurant wasn't too busy and was seated immediately. The water wasn't good so ended up getting a Mountain Dew. They do offer pretty good lunch deals with great portions. Of course there is complimentary salsa and chips. I order the one entree item that came with rice and beans. I chose the chicken enchilada. The rice and beans were really salty and it was hard to enjoy it. The chicken enchilada was good though. Great service with attentive waiter.

I moved to Palm Bay one year ago and friends encouraged me to Try El Mezcalito. The foot was delicious and authentic Mexican. Server was friendly and efficient. I'll be back.

The second restaurant I was treated to for my birthday was El Mazcalito Mexican Grill. I will admit I have eaten here before, but it seems their menu was overhauled. Before, their food was very similar to that one Mexican restaurant just west of Melbourne Square Mall, the one that is not El Chicos. Starting with the ambiance, you can still see a lot of what the restaurant used to be still present in the space. For those who don't know, the space used to be Outback Family Steakhouse. That changed when the restaurant moved west on Palm Bay Rd. to a more visual location. The booths, tables, floors, and even setup haven't changed much, but there are touches of decor added, showing the place is a Mexican restaurant now. The wall mural is definitely a nice touch. Service was very good and our waiter was very kind. He was able to give us a decent amount of attention as it was a Sunday night and at that time, I would assume most people would be getting ready for the following day. Finally, the food was your Tex-Mex fare but it was all delicious. Two of us ordered a Pick-3 Combo in which I ordered the chile rellano, burrito, and tamale and my mom ordered the burrito, quesidilla, and enchilada. As for the rest of the family, we ordered a chimichanga and a special dish known as steak Americano. We even indulged in a dessert too. Apparently, my family had some kind of churro that blew their taste buds so they thought they try the one here. It was delicious and the presentation was fancy, but it was your typical churro. That's not bad but it didn't stand out compared to other churros you can find sold by street vendors. Overall, a solid outing at a good Mexican restaurant. I don't think it really stands out right now as my first time was far more interesting. Still, if I want some good Tex-Mex and this restaurant is nearby, I will drop on in.

Numero Uno in my book! I've been searching the Space Coast for a full roundup of flavors and this place delivered. My baseline measurements are salsa, guacamole, Chimichanga and that white queso cheese sauce. When comparing to other Mexican restaurants, that's how I judge. My search is over now! The El Mezcalito salsa is loaded with goodies and packs a lot of punch. The Chimichanga was awesome! Give me MORE of that delectable queso cheese sauce, as it blends all of the Chimi flavors together. The guacamole was the PERFECT blend of chunks and spices. Delicious. Bottom line? El Mez is on top! My new go-to Mexican place. The service was excellent. My server, Eliseo, was friendly and certainly made me feel welcome. Thanks!

We came here because they had a California Burrito although the off brand one. There's no French fries and there are beans. The waiter said that we could put fries in the burrito, and we could put queso, then put the beans on the side. Well, this did not get relayed to the kitchen properly. When we got the food, there was only steak and fries inside the burrito, and nothing else came with it. So we had to ask them for everything. He was very nice about it. When we got the bill though we were charged for a full queso, and a full order of French fries. This was a bit over the top. We didn't say anything but we were a bit taken aback when we found our burrito to be over $20 in the end. We also got a kids quesadilla, the spinach and chicken enchiladas, and the enchilada supreme. All of the food was delicious in the end. Unfortunately the waiter seemed to be overwhelmed and our waters/soda glasses were left empty for the entire meal. We also asked for more salsa and we never received it. It also gets very loud. We were in a booth and for some reason they sat 6 adults (2 in chairs at the booth) right by us and they were very loud. We couldn't even have a conversation with each other. There was a table they could have sat them in the middle of the restaurant so it was a bit weird. We will definitely be back though and will update my review. The food is great. I think we just caught them at a bad time.

Food was amazing. Waitress friendly & patient. Large portions, definitely worth the prices. The margaritas were enjoyable & tasty. Our food was fresh & flavorful. Complimentary salsa & chips, delicious as well. Clean restaurant w/ plenty of seating. Spacious bar area as well. They do charge 4% for not paying cash. I can't wait to dine here again. Wonderful experience.

Grew up in California, and wife and I have had a hard time finding authentic amazing Mexican food ever since leaving back in 2004. The search is over. This place is amazing, authentic and delicious! BTW if you want hotter salsa than what they put on the table, just ask. All made in house. Haven't found anything on the menu that I haven't loved, and have been coming here since they opened!

This place is probably in my top in Fl. Great Mexican food And you won't be disappointed in the serving. The grande burrito is as big as a football. I really enjoyed this place and my wife and sister loved the wine prices and margaritas!

Pulled into a parking space and the first thing you notice is the smell of the food! YUM! The entire parking area has amazing aromas of grilled Mexican food! The place is accessible and the dining room spacious so you don't feel like you are on top of each other. Very clean and welcoming! Chips and fresh salsa was delivered immediately and the waitress was very attentive throughout the entire meal. The owner/manager (not sure which) named "Gustavo" stopped by to ensure everything was good twice! I really appreciated how attentive he was! The food comes out on large platters. I got the 2 item combo just to try a variety of food. A beef race and cheese enchilada. The enchilada was amazing but the beef taco was "American" style and although I loved the thin warm taco shell, it lacked flavor. I would probably order it next time with less toppings and more authentic. I asked for black beans (normally you get the combos with refried beans) and they were more than happy to accommodate. My family member got the chicken and steak fajitas which also looked impressive. He asked for white queso cheese on the side and it was delicious! The place got busy just as we were leaving due to the fact that it was 6pm. They have a bar and HUGE margaritas as well as a mariachi singers on Sundays. Overall I really enjoyed this place and thought the prices were good. We will be bringing the entire family back very soon! Thanks for an excellent meal! I am happy to find a great Mexican restaurant with attentive staff close by! They also have a military discount and a 4% discount if paying CASH which I thought was wonderful!

Real authentic Mexican food, tortillas made with real corn, adult beverages (mojito and house marg) were perfect (not too heavy, not light). They have MOLE! And it's sooo good. Server knowledgeable on how the food tastes, very respectful, always made sure we were good. Music playing matched the wall posters/paintings. Don't let the entrance fool you, it is an amazing place. Real authentic Mexican food spot. Will definitely make the drive (1hr 15mins each way) to eat there in the future.

Wow just wow ! I had chimichanga and my friend had the burrito grande. The food was so fresh and hot that i will make this a regular place for Mexican.

Just go! Some of the best Mexican food I've had. From the chips, to the salsa, to the guac and the margaritas--just amazing. The main dishes were large, and tasty. They had mariachi's which was entertaining. Our food came out fast, service was friendly and helpful. Will absolutely go back.

Our go to Mexican spot! The margaritas are delicious. The food is delicious and has generous portions and the service is excellent ! We even pick it up to go.

Went there Saturday for lunch. Wonderful. I had the Mezcalito salad and if you like steak mushrooms and arugula this is your meal. My daughter had Nenas enchiladas and she loved the mole sauce. Churros for desert were light and warm. Great food

We came here because they were the only Mexican restaurant in the area with 5 stars. I guess my hopes were up for a delicious eating experience but that wasn't the case. We ordered the queso cheese dip, nachos supreme, and enchiladas supreme. Everything was just barely "ok". Nothing great, flavor lacking and just a bunch of food heaped on the plates swimming in a bunch of juice/liquids. In comparison to other places we've been to in Palm Bay, I would rate this on the low end. We won't return because we have had tastier food elsewhere. Servers are polite and attentive but unfortunately that doesn't make up for taste or messy plates. I guess plating does matter LOL!

Came here due to all good reviews. Service was slow. Never came back to check on us. We needed more drinks and tortillas. A different waiter noticed we needed drinks and let our waitress know. The place was not busy. Food was okay. Large portions but flavor was nothing to brag about.

Stopped here on our way back to town. The service is as great as it was the Mexican ambiance. Their Margaritas were really good as it was their food. We shared steak fajitas & queso. They were both really good!

Great service, great food. The guacamole was super chunky and was an amazing starter along with the chips and salsa. The Molcajete, which was more than enough for two was the bomb... absolutely amazing and filled with pork, chicken, steak, shrimp and scallops not to mention a whole bunch of other things like a roasted jalapeño, bell pepper, onion, cactus... so so good. Service was top notch. Thanks El Mezcalito, see you again soon!

Absolutely love this spot, the staff is fast and friendly and they have some of the best Mexican food in the area. Be fore warned as the portions are huge. I love approximately 20 miles east and it's well worth the drive. They also make killer margaritas y las cervasas are muy frio

the service was amazing our severs tried to help us and get our food to us as quickly as possible considering we had a lot of people.It took a like and hour and a half to get our food but there were also other people in the restaurant so I could understand that. The food wasn't the best for it to have taken an hour and a half to get our food but as of right now I don't think I would go back but considering I don't really like Mexican food I wouldn't be the best person to tell people that they shouldn't come eat here.

I frequent this restaurant and can't believe I haven't taken a single picture! I most recently had their steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas with corn tortilla and they were delicious. I have tried several of their menu items and never leave disappointed or hungry! The Guacamoles Frescos is absolutely AMAZING! Service is always wonderful and compliments the casual, laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Ordered for takeout, and the food was phenomenal. They have interesting takes on some dishes.
