El Mezcalito

Really delicious freshly cooked meals. Several very good vegetarian choices. We ordered the chicken kebob meal and the veggie kebab meal. Enjoyed both very much. The veggies were fresh and cooked to perfection. They were nice big servings for the price. Friendly service. We’ll definitely be back.

We had fantastic take out from here, the food was fresh, delicious and portions were enough to have a second meal. We ordered the shrimp scampi, chicken kabob, a side of mixed veggies and cheesecake and everything was so well prepared and yummy. The staff was so nice and the prices reasonable. I'll be back in a couple of days to try the rest of the menu, can't wait!

Tacos chicanos carnitas were top notch, good portion as well. The ground beef chimichanga was delicious and the size of a large burrito. Very happy with a first go. Top Notch service, very patient!

I’m so happy I finally got to try this place out! Food is delicious. I ordered the Sirf & Turf, steak was delicious, potatoes super tasty, but the shrimp truly stole the show! The shrimp was beyond delicious, plump, juicy & perfectly marinated. Staff was great, all smiles & good hospitality. I will definitely be eating here regularly.

Great experience here, food was amazing, great music, very tex mex esque which is great because you get a lot of traditional options and some with flare, pricing was better than reasonable for this area, and over all the owners were extremely friendly, approachable, attentive, and kind. I truly hope this one stays and gets more popular as everyone would be glad they came here. It truly reminds me of the restaurants growing up on the west coast and summers in Chihuahua Mexico as a kid.

Very happy for this new, bright family-run business with hearty home cooked meals. I had chicken with veggies that was cooked to perfection (chicken fell off the bone) with herbs and a delicious buttery wine sauce that was scrumptious without being heavy. Very happy to see some vegetarian options and will look forward to trying veggie kebabs with rice next time. While there's enough space inside to eat in they seem focused on takeout business, so I pray they'll go all in on fully compostable eating utensils etc... or, better: encourage patrons to bring their own containers!

Great food! No frills spot but customer service was great the lady/cook is very sweet. Portions for the fajitas were huge! Me and my husband split them and didn’t even have leftovers

I’m usually not a fan of Mexican food but my husband loves it. We decided to try this new place in Rosendale….. well I’m now a fan. Such an incredible burrito and the portions were so generous it made 3 meals!! Will definitely be back.

Best Mexican food anywhere around !!!!!!!!!!! The owner is a wonderful talented cook who makes everything delicious and beautiful Generous portions and now open 7 days We are so lucky

The food is excellent! This has become a go-to place for take-out on nights I don't have time to cook. We love the seafood pasta, salmon with vegetables, eggplant with cherry tomatoes, and chicken kabob. Looking forward to trying more dishes.

The MOST AMAZING restaurant. I came here with a group of 7 people after a hike nearby and they accommodated all of us, moved a table to squeeze us in, and were so kind to us. The pineapple fried rice was delicious (and served on a pineapple!!), salmon salad was DELICIOUS (amazing lemons on the side), avocado chicken panini also amazing, vegetarian kebab was delicious with juicy lemon on the side. We were so impressed, the food is 5/5 and so is the service. Highly recommend!

The food at this new place is spectacular! We tried the hummus with cucumber salad, roasted eggplant with cherry tomatoes, and roasted chicken with vegetables. Everything was delicious! It's so nice to find a place with reasonable (as opposed to gigantic) protein portions, with an emphasis on Mediterranean style veggies. Note: be sure to order extra pita with the hummus. All that said, this is NOT a place to eat in. Talk it out! The few seats are very uncomfortable, and cold air blew on us the entire time (it was a winter day...). There is one cook, so if you are several people together, you might not be served all at once. I hope they do very well, and eventually expand into a real restaurant.

Not great vegetarian options, prices seem high for what you get. The cheese enchiladas were pretty good. Three veggie burritos, two quesadillas and one enchiladas was $100.

Ordered a chimichanga for myself and my s/o got a burrito. They were both very dry and bland. I tried adding some salt, but it didn't do it much justice when there weren't any other flavors. It was like any seasonings were completely left out. As for my boyfriends burrito, it was very dry and they left him a sprinkling of lettuce on the side. No sour cream, so he ate it as is to not waste the money. At least the other reviewers were right about their guacamole and chips because they were the best thing we ate. I am so disappointed because we were so excited to try the food based on all the 5 star reviews. But the other reviewers must've never had Bear Cantina because they're the standard.
