This is located on the north side of the downtown area and is very popular for many reasons. The service is great even during the very busy lunch hours. Get there early especially when the legislators are in town. They can get you in and out quickly but you dont feel rushed. Tip: You can skip the credit card line if you pay in cash when heading out the door. I have the right change to cover the meal and tips so I can slide past the long line. They have one guy standing by just for the cash. Dinners are always too big for me. Take it easy on the chips beforehand or you wont have enough room for the main entree. You will get a lot for your money. Their margaritas are great and not the Koolaid kind you get in some places. If you get to sit up front, its fun to watch Topeka Blvd. and the sidewalk traffic. They have a good sized outdoor seating area on the north side (back} during nice weather. The booths are mainly up front with some in the rear dining area. The tables are in the rear dining area. Parking during the busy lunch time will probably be at the rear of the restaurant. Its a short walk to get in from there. Its easy to miss this parking area. If you liked Casa on south Topeka Blvd., this is a good substitute.

The service here is HORRIBLE. I thought the 21 & Gage location had terrible service but this one is worst. They forgot my daughters order. Took about 5 minutes before drinks where brought to us and 10 minutes before the waiter took our order. Never, did the waiter come and check if we needed refills or anything else. This was the first time, I ever, in all my memory, that I did not tip the server. The worst part is that they were not even busy.There were only 4-5 patrons there. Attn owners of EL MEZCAL. Your waiters need some customer service.

Good was good, however service was horrible. Waiter barely even spoke to us. Then my son spilled his drink we asked for a mop. He gave us a thing of papertowels and went an sat down playing on his phone. I dont mind cleaning up after my child but have never had a waiter not help. He played on his phone almost the whole time we were there. Another customer had to go find him to get a refill. Needless to say I hope he has a side business on his phone because he wont be making much money waiting tables if thats how he treats his customers.

Horrible experience, the waiter was terrible took our drink order brought half of it 15 minutes later after we had to tell him again, and never brought out the other half after, and watched him bring drinks to tables that order well after us, another 15 minutes went by still nothing got up and left and then had the nerve to ask us what was wrong then we were trying to leave, paid for our drink we got and then just tried to set our change down on the counter. He was extremely rude about us leaving.

Ordered some meals from them, they messed up the order, we called and told them about the mess up, we was told that since they were closing they would give us, the two that had orders messed up, a free meal the next day. Well needless to say, they are liars. When I called to get my free meal the man said, No, Im not giving out another free meal, I already gave out one. They have the worst customer service skills on top of being liars. Will NOT PATRONIZE them Again!

I am giving up on going to El Mezcal on Topeka Blvd. The waiters are rude and when they bring the food they throw it on the table. You can forget on getting refills or napkins. Also I suggest you check you bill as it is never correct. The cashier is a complete idiot. My dog has better manners than she does, and does not care what you think of it. The food is okay, but do not expect to enjoy it, because of the servers and having to go pay the bill.

Went to this restaurant at the beginning of July. The service is great, food comes out quickly, and is hot and fresh. There are other "american" chain restaurants that can not compete with the speed, service, and accuracy of my order. I have been there 5 times this month. I do not have a favorite yet, however everything I have had is excellent.

I came with my friend and her 1-year old. We were immediately greeted with a warm hello and asked if our party consisted of two and a quarter. Gave us both a good giggle. Our server was courteous and friendly. Small children can be loud and we understand the impact they can have on the dining experience. We had a great time. Well be back!

Excellent food. Love the chicken soup. I go here often just for that, especially when I am feeling under the weather. The service is good as well and I appreciate being able to call ahead and pick up my food as well, which is always served hot. Prices are reasonable also. I wish there was an establishment in Manhattan, KS as well.

Food was good here but the other location is better. Cheese dip was good but not as good as at Fairlawn and 21st. Less expensive at the other location as well. Another reason for the two stars is that our waiter Rico Suave couldnt stop winking and raising his eyebrows at my wife so much that it made her uncomfortable.

I love this place and this location! My favorite nights are of course the 99 cent margarita nights! The good is excellent, especially the cheese dip. They are a busy place and I noticed that our waiter was crazy busy due to having tons of tables by himself but the service was still great!

As always great food, awful service. Had to find my own higj chair as they never asked if I needed one. Once we got our food we were never checked on. It always feels like the wait staff is annoyed we are there. It feels like were bothering them by being there. Food is always good.

This is the second time Ive taken a business trip to Topeka and eaten at Blind Tiger. Its consistently rated highly on TA, recommended by lots of locals, and always totally packed. But I have to admit that I just dont get it. Their beer prices are really low, so thats nice.

Good service by HUGO :) Great food and ( lots of it ). Priced right especially for a family eating out. The drinks were nice and bubbly. I would definitely come again. We eat at a lot of Mexican restaurants in the four state area this is definitely one to remember. ;)

I was visiting town and saw El Mezcal as I was driving into downtown. I took a chance and came back that night with my 20 year old son. The food was authentic and all good. No problems for us with the service. The place was full - we sat outside on the patio. ☺
