El Mezcal Cantina serves Mexican cooking pulled from multiple regions of the country, set in Point Breeze. The menu runs through handmade tostadas topped with guacamole, aguachiles, tacos, and a rotating list of specials, with the grilled molcajete anchoring the larger dishes.
One dish stands apart from the rest of the menu: a brick-oven pizza that's built its own following alongside the more traditional plates. The bar side gets equal billing, with an extensive selection of spirits and cocktails and a happy hour that's developed a real following of its own.
Regulars point to the food and drinks as the consistent strength here, even as service attentiveness and wait management get mixed reviews from visit to visit.
