Probably one of the places in Milan closest to Mexican cuisine. Chips and guacamole has room for improvement however I haven’t found a closer taste to the one I had in Mexico. I had a Mezcal cocktail and it was perfect. The Argentinian steak was also well cooked. The service and atmosphere was excellent.

To be honest, there was nothing particularly special about the experience. The food was not very good; the ceviche was overcooked, as were the fajitas. The cocktail was also too sweet and contained little alcohol.

Great place for Mexican. It's very difficult to find good Mexican in Milan but this place is a good balance between atmosphere, food, service and price. All the dishes we tried were good and the service was very attentive. Authenticity isn't really something you look for when doing Mexican in Italy, but I can say that the flavor and atmosphere of the restaurant is great.

Mezca was one of the highlights of our trip! The food was amazing! Very flavorful and great portions. The restaurant decor is also inviting. Danillo provided excellent service and made the dining experience fun and inviting. This is first on our list the next time we’re in Milan

We visited this place during weekend for cocktails, so can’t say anything about food. The cocktails were good, though there are some better places for drinks in the area. Also, they offer free starters to your drinks

The atmosphere is stunning, love the details of this place. Staff friendly and pretty kind. The cocktails are quite special, definitely a place for someone looking for some tequila and mezcal. I would recommend the cocktail which ends with "diablo", smoky and chilli are quite a good match for a mezcal based cocktail. Definitely better vibe than the other posh places right in front of their entrance.
