   Several dishes that distinguish the menu from the everyday — the different aguachiles (ceviche) and the pollo a la parilla (pipian very good). Service was standard—attentive but not over the top. Restaurant was loud—but that’s the Pearl too.

   Terrific meal! The food is great. The tacos rival anything you get in El Paso where the greatest Mexican tacos are found in Texas. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and the experience.

   We opened the meal with a lime-forward, homemade guacamole topped with pico de gallo. It was addicting and worth every penny. It comes with a red chipotle, salsa verde with a bit more heat, and the most ethereal tortilla chips we've ever eaten. The Elotes, a quartered corn cob topped with a masa crunch and queso fresco chamoy, is every bit as good as it sounds. The reposado flight featured Wild Common, Agave de Cortes, and Carabuena and is served with palate-cleansing orange and jicama sprinkled with sal de chapulines. Aguachile Verde, a vibrant, beautifully presented ceviche of red snapper, cucumber, and Serrano chilies served in a mildly spicy tomatillo sauce. I craved more acidity, however I can also acknowledge that, coming off of the guacamole, my tastebuds might have needed a reset. The Chuleta Asada, with Berkshire pork, snuggled into a salsa de queso, combined with the rice made for an exceptional bite. Caramelos de Carnitas was served on a wheat tortilla that was flaky and the carnitas were seasoned like their Abuela taught them how to do it. Flauta de Papas came presented stunningly and were promptly dispatched by my daughter. The Chile Rellenos’ exterior crust was so expertly fried that it retained its crunch until the last bite. When you cut into it, the queso Oaxaca oozed out so beautifully. The Tres Leches, with Chef Tavel's signature salted cream, coconut, and Jamaica sauce was the favorite of the night. Chocoflan isn't the classic cake and flan dessert but an actual flan that sent my eyes rolling to the back of my head in ecstasy. The apple sorbete was topped with thick, homemade chamoy, and sprinkled with Tajín. I highly recommend Mezquite!

   I came here while on a bachelorette trip and we really enjoyed our experience! Our server was kind and took the time to explain the menu and specials, which was appreciated. I had the carne asada nachos and my only critique would be that the chips seemed to be slightly over fried. Other than that, all of my friends enjoyed their meals and if we are back in the area we will dine again!

   I really enjoyed this place. I had heard a lot of different views but it was delicious. It’s NOT traditional. It’s a take on a cuisine. The flavors are really savory and well paired. I had the elotes, aquacates tacos and a paloma. Tres leches for dessert. Enjoyed every bite of every dish.

    Great food and drinks! The decor and ambience is really cool kind of feels like you’re in Tulum/Mexico city. The lighting is kind of weird but depending on what table you’re sitting at. Otherwise great spot for friends or a date.
