    I’m a fan of Mexican food that’s not just the typical ordinary plate of tacos or enchiladas with rice and beans. Fortunately here in this part of California we have a lot of choices. More than 20 years ago I sometimes went to Mezcal even though in the big scheme of things it was not around the part of the Bay Area I was most often in. But I had nothing but good experiences then. Recently I was going to downtown San Jose and remembered Mezcal and decided to visit again. It was spectacular. Food, service, ambiance and margaritas. All first rate. And priced very appropriately. Now I just returned for my third visit yesterday with friends. Everyone enjoyed Mezcal. It’s on my favorites list.

    We enjoyed the two unusual dishes that we tried, the lemon grass stir fry with chicken and the Angkor noodles with shrimp. The jalepeno chilis in the lemon grass stir fry were a bit hot for our tastes but easy to pick out. The servers were efficient and friendly and the atmosphere pleasant for getting a meal before the symphony. The owners, who are the Cambodian chef and her husband were very welcoming.
