Mezcal's

Tucked into Westerleigh, this neighborhood spot matches its wood-and-poster decor with traditional Mexican music and a compact, close-quartered dining room. The kitchen focuses on spiced, freshly prepared dishes, highlighted by a house salsa that visitors frequently single out. Sizzling shrimp and chicken fajitas share the table with fresh pina coladas and desserts like house-made churros and roasted bananas with ice cream. While on-site parking can be tricky, the draw here is a straightforward local joint with affordable prices and highly attentive service.
