Denver, COBest Friday-Night Mexican
Mezcal is a fantastic starting and ending place for any Friday night. Why? For so many reasons. Let's start with the fact that the kitchen serves until one in the morning. The cheap tacos, which we've loved since day one, are just the thing to fortify you before you head out to whatever weirdness awaits you downtown — and work equally well sopping up that excess alcohol at midnight. And then there's the bar, arranged like an agave stockade — walled in by bottles of all the best and worst tequilas and mezcals on the market. A shot could be just what you need to prepare you for the night ahead — or make you forget whatever just came down. And if things really went wrong, you can drink here until closing, go sleep in your car, then come back in the morning for a nice brunch.

Denver, COBest House Margarita
Denver drinkers used to be content ordering snifters full of ice, cheap tequila, sweet-and-sour mix that made your teeth squeak, maybe a lime wedge, and all sorts of top-secret (and cheap) ingredients guaranteed to give them a big headache in the morning. If they wanted to get really fancy, they might even order their margaritas frozen so they didn't have to taste what was going to give them a big headache in the morning. But then Denver drinkers started studying tequila, differentiating the regional nuances, demanding fresh lime juice and margs served coin-style. While local bars increasingly focus on specialty drinks that quench the ever-growing thirst for better margaritas, they often give scant attention to the house marg. But that's not the case at Mezcal and its sibling, Tambien, which continue to turn out spritely, fresh-tasting, potent house margs that feature plenty of quality tequila, plenty of fresh juice, and just a spritz of carbonation to keep your evening bubbling along.

Male / 30 / Denver, CODollar Tacos (Pork, Chicken, Steak) after 10pm!!! and they now server Tortas!!! I've had the shredded pork torta twice now... first one was almost there... second one brought it home! Queso Fundido w/ chorizo is a must every time.

Male / 41 / Denver, COYou have to have a favorite Mexican spot
And this is it for Denver. The food is fine as it's hard for me to get too excited about twelve different mixtures of beans, rice, salsa and a tortilla (that's most mexican food, not a crack on the restaurant), BUT the drinks are excellent and the place is just plain fun. Great service every time we've gone.
