Great food, service and ambiance. Excellent selection of mezcal and tequila. Deserts made fresh. The choco-flan was the bomb.

What a wonderful dining experience we had at Mesa Maguey tonight. Started with delicious,sour margaritas accompanied by guacamole with three additional sauces. Of course there was plenty of fresh, crisp corn tortilla chips. We both had delicious enchiladas. I had two cheese ones and my partner had a chicken and a cheese. Sides included a well prepared portion of sautéed veggies, plus black beans and rice. Service was prompt and courteous. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming with a wonderful long bar. Highly recommended for dinners, appetizers and drinks.

We live nearby so I really wanted this place to be good AND IT WAS. Loved the happy hour menu. I got the carnitas happy hour tacos and a turmeric margarita and everything was sublime. My wife got a carne asada plate. The steak was perfect and I loved the rice. Didn't love the beans so much but I'm sure it's a personal preference thing. You might love them. I've heard great things about the watermelon margaritas but they were out of watermelon today. I look forward to trying one on my next visit. The service was friendly and efficient. This place is absolutely on our list. Great full bar if you just want to come in for drinks and a really inviting dining room as well. Just a fabulous dining option on a block that has several.

Probably my favorite Mexican food in the East Bay right now. Great service and great food. Habanero salsa is good. Happy Hour is where it's at. Tacos, Flautas, Nachos. Love the think crunchy tortilla on the tacos. I think the Nachos are probably the best deal. I did like carnitas on the tacos and chicken on the tacos. I would personally pass on the queso fundido. But everything else was so good it didn't matter.

¡Hola Mesa Maguey! Thanks for coming out of the gate fast when I dropped by for a late lunch, which happened to fall during your happy hour. I usually won't give out five stars on my first date with a restaurant, but you earned it. $10 for two tacos and the Carnitas was slamming? Done! I'm completely impressed with the happy hour here, in part because they have an excellent selection of tequilas and mezcal. Here's the deal. Happy hour 2-6pm Mon-Sun $9-11 drinks $9-11 for apps like queso fundido, 3 flautas, or 2 tacos. The bartender, Leo, was really cool too. I had the house mezcal, Amateco, for the mezcalina and it was completely tasty. Lots of seating, all indoors. There's a space in the back too. Not much as change from the Copper Spoon. But there's definitely a really nice Mexican vibe now, and the salsa tunes were awesome, super-fun mix.

Tried two tacos and the tamarind margarita. Very refreshing and tasty drink! The tacos were good too, but this is a great place for a date night or for mezcal aficionados.
