My favorite restaurant on the UES. Tacos de camarones - ay Dios. Everything is delicious. Service at the bar will seem efficient and impersonal at first, but make friends - they are great bartenders.
Meaghan SmithNovember 23, 2014Love love love this place. Great drinks, great food. More upscale Mexican (this isn't Blockhead's) but a must try on the UES. I usually get the fajitas but you can't go wrong.
- Polina WeitzAugust 16, 2020What a great spot! Delicious frozen margaritas, great tamales, and superb guac. Fantastic service and nice outdoor seating (during Covid-19). Will be back to try the fajitas!
Steven AlvaradoJuly 4, 2019Great food, the service is incredible, terrific. You must try the tamarindo mezcalitas. A great Mexican restaurant
Caroline FlanaganJanuary 3, 2014This place is amazing. Best mexican food I've had in the city and great service even on a busy night. Get the enchiladas!!
Great options here if you want Mexican but lighter, healthier options. Try the grilled shrimp tacos (so fresh and satisfying) and the tamales (delicious)!- Ladii DimplezzzSeptember 26, 2014Love their queso fundido with chorizo and huevos rancheros. And I recommend trying their classic margarita with grand Marnier.
Been coming to Maz Mezcal for over a decade and it never fails to impress. Best choice on the UES!
Terecille Basa-OngMay 9, 2016Moderately priced & delicious, especially enchiladas, rice & beans, margaritas. DON'T order nachos as it sounds bigger than you actually get
Jill McBainNovember 16, 2012Food and service were excellent! Fish tacos totally exceeded my expectations. I had the classic marg... It was ok, nothing special. Would definitely go back to try another dish.
Jonathan DavilaMay 3, 2014Amazing guac. Best refried beans I've ever had. Order the arroz con pollo and send me a thank you card.
- Definitely best Mexican on Upper East Side .... I've tried quite a few and we always end up back at Maz Mezcal!
Best mexican on upper east sides. Consistently good food. Prices have gone up in years but still not that bad. Get the combination platters
Emily HymesSeptember 20, 2011Service was great. The food was so good and I love how they refill your chips and salsa throughout your meal- BrookeMarch 5, 2012Loved the mango margaritas, guacamole and mole chicken. Beautiful sink in the damas bathroom as well.
Best Frozen Margaritas the Manhattan side of the Rio Grande! Also try fajittas and fish tacos!
Mike M.August 8, 2014Enchilada plate was a little underwhelming. Small and pretty boring. I would stick with the margaritas and the fajitas.
Kim MerrittMay 9, 2010Consistently amazing Mexican food! Try the chorizo quesadillas as an appetizer- incredible! The vegitariano combo is great-amazing enchilatas! I think the button on my jeans just popped...
Ben TannenbaumDecember 28, 2011Arroz con calamares is perfect. I get it every time. No need to mess with a good thing.
David SimpsonJuly 18, 2011The paella for one is more than enough for two and well worth it. Upgrade on the margaritas for a better drink.
- Fajittas, fish tacos and shrimps in red or green sauce are off the charts!
Rishi SatsangiJanuary 19, 2015Straight up Mexican place. You won't dislike the food but it's not like a standout or anything
eric stetsJuly 30, 2011Great service!!! As we sat down ice water, chips and dip were served. Refills on everything without asking.
Jody WMay 2, 20101 brazen cockroach! see past that, you get interesting artwork, uber-low ceilings, & the FUCKING most wonderful marinated chicken fajita anybody's mexican mother EVER made! beware aggressive hostess.
Ask for Steven. Or sit at the bar when Nemo is bar tending
If you like your food extra spicy, order your guacamole or other spicy dish with "fresh jalapenos" instead of the typical pickled ones.
Tom BurkaJuly 7, 2012Sloooow indifferent service. A couple came in after us. After waitin ten minutes, I beckoned waiter over so we could order. He looked at me and came over and took the order of the couple next to me
How To Make It In AmericaFebruary 5, 2010Fajita plates and margaritas as massive and immensely satisfying.
