Amazing food. Tortillas are served warm, which was such a pleasant surprise. We ate vegetarian dishes. Food was very tasty and enough quantity. The best was agua fresca ( pineapple), which everybody (kids and 2 of us) liked. The price is pretty cheap for the quality they offer. There was music on and a vendor visited us all with colorful trinkets to sell – best atmosphere I would say 🙂 Local gem I would say.

You could go to Mexico, but it’s easier to come here, and just as delicious! A must is there homemade corn tortillas, and though everything here is excellent, I can’t resist the tacos and sopes 🙂

I called in and tried to order a food item based on the menu they provide to only be told they dont sell the items i was asking for since it a old menu. SO be careful they might not have what you want even if its on the menu. When asked if they will update the menu they laughed and said no.

A small, cozy restaurant. We were returning from Yosemite and were really hungry. We were in the mood for Mexican food and found Mexcal on Google. We were not disappointed at all. Everything from the location, staff, menu and ambience looked authentic. Since the menu didn’t have a description of the dishes, we were searching on Google to understand what they are. I ate the Chili Verde (and, I highly recommend it!) which is one of the top dishes of this restaurant. I loved it! It was delicious. The pork curry had the right amount of tanginess (I usually don’t like really tangy food) and everything else on the plate complemented it perfectly. The Indian in me was happy to eat this dish. The rice portion is small so I ordered extra. Sadly, I couldn’t finish the pork curry as I was full by then. But, if I’m ever in this part of the world again, I’ll definitely eat here.

Great hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant. Their English was weak and my Spanish is weaker, but good intentions triumphed. I am vegetarian so I requested a breakfast burrito with no sausage, just eggs, cheese, beans, and rice, with some salsa. The result was succulent, juicy, heavy, and tasty, the warmest comfort food you can imagine. Truly nourishing. And at a great price too. Highly recommend.

I’ve lived on the Peninsula for 25+ years and Mexcal is our go-to place for authentic Mexican cooking. When you enter the restaurant, you feel like you are being welcomed into your grandma’s home. Regulars are greeted by name and every order is taken with the utmost warmth, care, and attention. Prepare to wait about 20 minutes for your food, but know the wait will be worth it for these delicious made-to-order dishes. For us, the star of their menu is the sopes. Great with chicken, al pastor, and carne asada. Plus fantastic barbacoa on the weekends! No hay lugar donde preparan la comida con tanto amor como lo hacen ustedes- ¡mil gracias!
