Best steak burrito I've had in a VERY long time and great service! Will definitely be back next time I'm in this neck of the woods.

Food was good and service was outstanding atmosphere was excellent, friendly staff and reasonable prices

Consistent food with great service. Large portions, and a free shot of crappy tequila

We were passing through Wausau on our way to Door County and needed to stop for lunch. From the outside, El Mezcal looks like any other Mexican-for-gringos restaurant. But it was just off the highway, making it very convenient, so we stopped --and prepared ourselves for another round of what I call "Mexican hot dish". Were we pleasantly surprised. The service was fast and courteous. The dining area is tastefully decorated, with none of the garish "Mexican" doodads found in so many Mexican diners. The owners are from the state of Jalisco, one of our favorite places in Mexico, and home to one of the many great Mexican cuisines. Fortunately for everyone who eats at El Mezcal, the chef has faithfully captured the authentic taste of Jalisco's wonderful cuisine. The food was absolutely delicious. The salsa took us back to our time in Puerto Vallarta, and the chips were warm and fresh. The Camarones Diabla was fabulous. Typical of many authentic Mexican dishes-- regardless of the regional differences-- this spicy dish was layered with flavors and with just enough "heat" to make it sparkle on the palate. I only wish that more Mexican restaurateurs would honor the best of their country's heritage by bringing to the United States the delicious variety of unique and flavorful food they are fortunate to enjoy. Hats off to the owners of El Mezcal. ¡Muchas gracias!

A nice local Mexican restaurant helping to spice up the cuisine in Wausau! The flavors and dishes are more on the Tex-Mex side of things than authentic Mexican, but I'm not sure the average customer in the area would want that either. The food is nothing fancy, but tasty and filling. I went with the chimichanga on my most recent visit, wanting something simple and filling to recharge after a day at Granite Peak. It hit the spot and I was happy with the friendly service, keeping waters and the complimentary salsa filled for our thirsty and hungry group. Everyone finished the meal happy and full and ready to get back out there! Definitely a solid spot for lunch in Wausau and we're glad we found them!

After a day of skiing, El Mezcal is a great place to warm up and slow down. The interior is large, colorful and showcases the titular beverage. I was famished and ordered the Special Dinner. It was a massive amount of food. The enchilada was great but the chili relleno was oily and did not have the crispy outside I expected. The mixed (chicken and steak) fajitas also arrived in a massive helping. The veggies were cooked well but there could have been more spice to the steak. And the chimichanga cheesecake! Wow, so good! Crispy and creamy with drizzling of chocolate and strawberry. Que bueno! Our server was friendly and waters were always filled. Even though it was busy, we never felt rushed to leave. I'd go back!

Hola! Senors y Senoritas! The décor, the ambience, the food! Muy Fantastico! So good, visited this place in Wisconsin, we are from Arizona, so we were not expecting a really good authentic Mexican food! It exceeded our expectations! Delicious!
