Maz Mezcal

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 .

Love 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.

Anyone who lives anywhere close to East 86th Street is a regular here—and no one minds the high kitsch factor. Fajita plates and margaritas are massive and immensely satisfying. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

What 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 !

Great food, the service is incredible, terrific. You must try the tamarindo mezcalitas. A great Mexican restaurant

This 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)!

Been coming to Maz Mezcal for over a decade and it never fails to impress. Best choice on the UES!

Love their queso fundido with chorizo and huevos rancheros . And I recommend trying their classic margarita with grand Marnier .

Moderately priced & delicious, especially enchiladas , rice & beans, margaritas . DON'T order nachos as it sounds bigger than you actually get

Food 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.

Amazing guac . Best refried beans I've ever had. Order the arroz con pollo and send me a thank you card.

Get the house margs ! No need to add anything to them

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

The chilaquiles were delicious

excellent margaritas , good guac , and they have tamales !

Service was great. The food was so good and I love how they refill your chips and salsa throughout your meal

Still the best margaritas in NYC! No competition .

Loved the mango margaritas , guacamole and mole chicken . Beautiful sink in the damas bathroom as well .

Mojitos are great!

Best Frozen Margaritas the Manhattan side of the Rio Grande! Also try fajittas and fish tacos !

Good Mexican on the UES. Real good salsa verde .

Enchilada plate was a little underwhelming. Small and pretty boring. I would stick with the margaritas and the fajitas .

Try the Enchiladas De Pollo Con Mole - #nom #excellent #mole

Consistently 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...

Arroz con calamares is perfect. I get it every time. No need to mess with a good thing.

The guacamole was good and the place is really cute

The paella for one is more than enough for two and well worth it. Upgrade on the margaritas for a better drink.

The best chorizo I ever had!

Straight up Mexican place . You won't dislike the food but it's not like a standout or anything

Fajittas, fish tacos and shrimps in red or green sauce are off the charts!

Everything on the Irene is scrumptious

Great service!!! As we sat down ice water, chips and dip were served. Refills on everything without asking.

Great food and very reasonably priced!

I really enjoyed the Watermelon Margaritas !

1 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 .

Try the chorizos a la parilla! Amazing

If you like your food extra spicy , order your guacamole or other spicy dish with "fresh jalapenos " instead of the typical pickled ones.

Ask for Steven. Or sit at the bar when Nemo is bar tending

Sunday lunch with Steph

Everything

Mango Salmon

Avoid outside sitting while 86th St construction is going on

Sloooow 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

Good food but a little pricey

Ask for Mary. She's the best!

Most authentic Mexican food that I've had in NYC

Fajita plates and margaritas as massive and immensely satisfying.

Ask for a side of the mole
