Worcester Restaurant Week: Mezcal

Worcester Restaurant Week is a cool concept in which a bunch of restaurants in Worcester have prix fixe menu of a 3 course meal for $23.21. Its a great deal and it gives you the opportunity to have some great food. My friends Liz, Shoshana, and myself went to a great place on Shrewsbury St. called Mezcal. Its a great Mexican restaurant with a very large selection of margaritas, tequilas, and of course mezcal. Mezcal is a liquor very similar to tequila but smoky. Anyways, the food was pretty good.

For starters we ordered the house guacamole, which is the traditional guacamole consisting of avocados, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, jalapeno, and lime. 

For appetizers, My friend Liz and I had the seared sesame crusted tuna crudo with mango risotto cake, and wasabi tequila drizzle. 

My friend Shoshana had the jalapeno rice balls with chipotle lime aioli. 

For entrees, My friend Shoshana and I had the grilled bistro tenderloin steak with yucca mashed potatoes, cilantro lime mojo, and grilled asparagus. 

My friend Liz had the beef burrito with Mexican rice. 

For dessert, we all got the coconut crusted fried ice cream with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, ad strawberry sauce. When a restaurant offers fried ice cream, you know you are going to order it because it is just that good.

Overall, Mezcal is a great restaurant. If you like margaritas, this is a place for you. If you like Mexican cuisine, you should check it out. Enjoy!
