I thoroughly enjoy the food and the ambiance. My date and I always seem to get the same table and that also feels special. I had the Mexican chicken soup. It was delicious and full of chicken and chunks of avocado and other vegetables. It was a meal onto itself and I love their margaritas. I highly recommend Maz Mezcal.
