Reviews for Casa Mezcal in New York, NY
Love this spot! Reviews for separate visits: mezCALL me a cab after this happy hour @casamezcal has some great deals during... happy hour like their classic margaritas. And if you post them on @instagram while you’re there, you get a free shot! Not surewhat the blood red shot was but it was a sweet contrast to the perfectly tart marg. Plus the chicken tacos are pretty danggood! In queso you forgot… @casamezcal is the best Mexican restaurant around! I was invited for a dinner and mezcal tastingand got to try so many items from their menu I hadn’t before and each one was absolutely amazing! The staff took amazing careof us and they will amazing care of you too! Appetizers • Esquite - fesh corn, epazote aioli, tajin, cotija cheese (similar toan elote but off the cob) • Guac & Totopos - chips & guacamole • Queso Asado - grilled cheese, salsa verde, hoja santa, picode gallo Entrees • Azteca Cake - layered corn tortillas, grilled chicken breast, onion, covered with Oaxacan mole, sesameseeds, avocado • Barbacoa de Borrego - puebla lamb stew with chile guajillo, with house made corn tortillas, salsas MezcalTasting We got to try 3 of the 300+ mezcals that they have! It was so cool and informative to learn about them. Each one was sounique in both taste and history • @mezcalcasaantigua - the first of the artisanal of the ones we tried and probably myfavorite of the 3. I had a more mild taste than the others and was recommended to be used for cocktail mixing • @mezcalherodes- this brand was started by a French wine maker who moved to Mexico and fell in love with mezcal. It’s the perfect love story.This brand aged their mezcals in similar barrels to the wine which gives it the full bodied flavors • @mezcalrompecorazon -the only reposado mezcal we tried. It was fruitier than the others since this one is aged longer than the others in bourbonbarrels and absorbs the sugars, which is also how both reposado tequila and mezcal get its darker color. Also this is the firs Read more
First time visit for summer tippler drink but we had lunch. Very interesting place. The food was slow coming out but well worth... the wait. Very busy on a Saturday afternoon. Read more
Party that I attended here was so well organized and staff was very efficient and polite. Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of... tacos, but these were amazing! They made them differently and wow, i got to live and learn! Cocktails were excellent, especiallythe ones with gin and mezcal. I've been told they have a variety of live music and I'll be back for some dancing- for sure! Read more
Stopped here for drinks before a dinner reservation nearby. I wish we would’ve made reservations here instead! I loved the... decor and my spicy margarita was delish. Read more
Beautiful Mexican restaurant. Really loved the colorful and fun and atmosphere. We were surprised by the friendly customer... service our waiter was very nice and welcoming. We started our afternoon with margaritas and enjoyed happy houratmosphere. Will definitely return to try their food menu! Read more
"It is what it is" is now as common as "hectic" in our parlance. Here, it tells you that you are going to get a perfectly tuned... bar that specialises in mezcal and tex mex food. You won't be blown away, but you will be satisfied by very good margaritas andeats that will keep your thirst for these going. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, as you can expect most places inthis part of this town. Read more
Based on the other reviews and some searching on Google I perhaps had some expectations that were too high. Nice decor and good... food (presentation and taste). But prices still seemed a bit high based on the size of the plates and quality of service. Read more
This place was so underwhelming. Margarita was too sweet. The decor felt like I was in the Bronx, it was so dingy. (I'm from the... Bronx) Do not believe everything you see on social media. It's so out of place in such a cool neighborhood. The food had nospice for a restaurant claiming to be Mexican. I've never had tacos so bad as their hibiscus tacos. I don't know, but at leasttry to welcome vegetarians with flavor instead of whatever that was. Not even the happy hour prices are worth it here. My serverdidn't even care to ask why I left half my food untouched. Ugh I wish I could turn back time. Read more
