My favorite restaurant on the UES. Tacos de camarones - ay Dios. Everything is delicious. Service at the bar will seem efficient and impersonal at first, but make friends - they are great bartenders.

Love love love this place. Great drinks, great food. More upscale Mexican (this isn't Blockhead's) but a must try on the UES. I usually get the fajitas but you can't go wrong.

Anyone who lives anywhere close to East 86th Street is a regular here—and no one minds the high kitsch factor. Fajita plates and margaritas are massive and immensely satisfying. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

What a great spot! Delicious frozen margaritas, great tamales, and superb guac. Fantastic service and nice outdoor seating (during Covid-19). Will be back to try the fajitas!

Great food, the service is incredible, terrific. You must try the tamarindo mezcalitas. A great Mexican restaurant

This place is amazing. Best mexican food I've had in the city and great service even on a busy night. Get the enchiladas!!

Great options here if you want Mexican but lighter, healthier options. Try the grilled shrimp tacos (so fresh and satisfying) and the tamales (delicious)!

Love their queso fundido with chorizo and huevos rancheros. And I recommend trying their classic margarita with grand Marnier.
Terecille Basa-OngMay 9, 2016
Moderately priced & delicious, especially enchiladas, rice & beans, margaritas. DON'T order nachos as it sounds bigger than you actually get

Been coming to Maz Mezcal for over a decade and it never fails to impress. Best choice on the UES!

Amazing guac. Best refried beans I've ever had. Order the arroz con pollo and send me a thank you card.

Definitely best Mexican on Upper East Side .... I've tried quite a few and we always end up back at Maz Mezcal!
Jill McBainNovember 16, 2012
Food and service were excellent! Fish tacos totally exceeded my expectations. I had the classic marg... It was ok, nothing special. Would definitely go back to try another dish.

Best mexican on upper east sides. Consistently good food. Prices have gone up in years but still not that bad. Get the combination platters
Kim MerrittMay 9, 2010
Consistently amazing Mexican food! Try the chorizo quesadillas as an appetizer- incredible! The vegitariano combo is great-amazing enchilatas! I think the button on my jeans just popped...

excellent margaritas, good guac, and they have tamales!
David SimpsonJuly 18, 2011
The paella for one is more than enough for two and well worth it. Upgrade on the margaritas for a better drink.
BrookeMarch 5, 2012
Loved the mango margaritas, guacamole and mole chicken. Beautiful sink in the damas bathroom as well.

Try the Enchiladas De Pollo Con Mole - #nom #excellent #mole
Mike M.August 8, 2014
Enchilada plate was a little underwhelming. Small and pretty boring. I would stick with the margaritas and the fajitas.

Best Frozen Margaritas the Manhattan side of the Rio Grande! Also try fajittas and fish tacos!

Good Mexican on the UES. Real good salsa verde.
Ben TannenbaumDecember 28, 2011
Arroz con calamares is perfect. I get it every time. No need to mess with a good thing.
Emily HymesSeptember 20, 2011
Service was great. The food was so good and I love how they refill your chips and salsa throughout your meal
Rishi SatsangiJanuary 19, 2015
Straight up Mexican place. You won't dislike the food but it's not like a standout or anything

Fajittas, fish tacos and shrimps in red or green sauce are off the charts!
eric stetsJuly 30, 2011
Great service!!! As we sat down ice water, chips and dip were served. Refills on everything without asking.

If you like your food extra spicy, order your guacamole or other spicy dish with "fresh jalapenos" instead of the typical pickled ones.
Nitzan BOctober 1, 2016
The guacamole was good and the place is really cute
Kathy O'SheaMay 23, 2015
Everything on the Irene is scrumptious
