    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.

    The food was excellent. I had the salmon tacos, one of the chef's specials. I also had one of the specialty drinks for the month. Our server was very nice and came frequently to our table to ask if we needed anything. We were the last table to leave and they didn't rush us.
