El Mezcal Iii Mexican Rstrnt - Topeka

What can you say about El Mez here in Topeka? They 've been around for a LONGGGGG time. They don 't do anything spectacular and yet I 've never felt like I had a really poor meal. Most folks probably frequent on their cheap margs days (up to $1.50 in 2023) which are served in small plastic cups. Veterans like myself order them two at a time and they go well with their decent complimentary chips and salsa. Having sampled much of the menu, my go-to entree is the Tacos de Carne Asada which comes with 3 generous sized tacos, pico de gallo, a roasted pepper salsa and a side of refrieds. They are well known for their Mexican cheese sauce that they smother many of their dishes with. This prompted a dear Hispanic friend of mine to label the whole establishment El Mez Gravy. My daughter enjoyed MANY Vegetarian Combo B (two bean burritos smothered in that cheese sauce) during her youth!

First off they always welcome you to the restaurant. Always happy to see you and say hello. Salsa has a great flavor and has substance . Food is good and they actually have substantial sides for meals. The refried beans were fresh and had yummy cheese on top. Nice and clean They appreciate you being there whether it's your first time or your 47th. Go find your favorite menu item. I keep finding new favorites.

First impression was the place was dirty-food all over the floor and several dirty tables. Our waiter was nice but disinterested. Ordered a margarita and it was brought out in 2 small water cups because they were out of glasses. So odd. I ordered the Chile Colorado which had great flavor from the meat being grilled and the sauce was great. The meat was in larger chunks than I have experienced at other places. Solid tortilla served with solid rice/beans. I'd try again but there are other options.

I used to be a regular here back in my college days.... The taste has not dropped off one bit!! So I rate 5 stars! Yes this place does white cheese dip the RIGHT way. (As if I'm a professional chef) the family loved it. Ordering was easily done over the phone and lightning fast it was ready. Short drive to get it from the hotel... Still hot when I got it back. Had Pollo loco and it was delicious! I already know the leftovers will be just as delicious. Mask life was in effect. It was posted at the door..+2 stars The line was short (call in order) generous amount of chips came with our order. Ordered large cheese dip large guacamole also salsa had plenty to share. Their house salsa was flavor packed and spicy one I ordered...well the heat was there!!!.. Yummo. This experience was pretty delightful delicious. +5 stars I will go back for sure. They get a phenomenal review from me. The staff is friendly delightful as well. Keep up the good work. My monies were well spent! Glad to have leftovers Respectfully Bryan Yukon, Oklahoma

If I could I'll give it 0 stars, I mean , if you going to have a restaurant the least you can do it's learn how to cook , or pay for a chef even if it means you investing more. This is horrible anyway you look at it . Not ever coming back.
