Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Visited this restaurant with my parents on w Saturday morning around 11:30. There was only one other table occupied when we were there. Our food came in five minutes but was cold. Then the waiter did not come back and offer more chips until we had finished our meals. My mom ordered a flan and it clearly tasted freezer burned. We do not plan on returning.

This place is a candidate for Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares" tv show! Service: waiter asked if we needed menus. What? Who asks that? Gave us menus and stood there asked us what was our order. Told him we needed a minute, he disappeared for 16 minutes (I timed it). Food: NEVER trust a place where your food comes out within 7 minutes of ordering it. Everything and I mean everything has "cheese sauce". In other words, nasty cheap canned cheese sauce instead of Chihuahua cheese. Even things on the menu that didn't MENTION the "cheese sauce" had...you guessed it, that cheese sauce! The quesadilla had lumps of what tasted like grandma's roast beef stew in it. Chunks. And the squishy sauce.... The chimichanga, supposed to be deep fried, was simply a burrito in a stale wrap. If that's what Alton-Bethalto calls "authentic Mexican", yall need to come a bit further north and taste REAL "Mexican" food. Bathroom: lock on handicapped door broken (unable to lock). Lock on regular stall LOOKED unbroken, but I was locked in for a good 7 minutes until I whacked it a few times with the heel of my shoe. Summary: taco bell is more authentic than this place. And I bet you wont get locked in bathroom, either!

I just ate here alone for lunch at 130pm on a Tuesday. I was driving by and thought I'd give it a try. It looked a lot better on the inside than it does on the outside. My waiter was friendly and gave the right amount of attention. The complimentary chips and salsa, pretty standard for Mexican restaurants, were really good. I ordered the Burritos Supremos, a common dish at Mexican restaurants that I've had many times at many places, left a lot to be desired. It came out about 2 minutes after I ordered. The beef and the chicken filling undoubtedly had been prepared earlier for the lunch rush and had sat there for awhile. They were both dry (the beef really dry) and didn't have much flavor, and what flavor they did have wasn't the greatest. Everything else about them was good, but was all underwhelmed by the meat. If I return here, I will choose something that needs to be cooked to order. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you plan to come during peak hours when the meat is freshly cooked.

I've never went to El Mezcal and left without a reason to give 5/5 stars. Very courteous staff, very quickly prepared food, and a relaxed environment. Win-win!

Locally owned Mexican restaurant. Real homemade mexican food. Not your typical

Service was good food was ok. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants that will not only leave you full but will give you that authentic Mexican feeling, this is not one of those restaurants. I had the Enchiladas Mezcal while my boyfriend had the Burrito Mezcal. The sauce was good but the texture & the steak filling of the burrito left a lot to be desired.

Carna Asada was nasty and found a hair in my food. It wasn't my hair. Management handled it well and took care of everything. Can't blame them too much for the hair because stuff happens. I did try some deep fried ice cream another time and liked it.
