Poncho`s of Ottawa in Ottawa

El Mezcal is a good Mexican restaurant near the town square in Ottawa, Kansas. The food is good, the service is fast, and the people are friendly. Overall, I would definitely recommend it. It's a somewhat busy restaurant, but not overly so. The decor includes pictures and scenes of old Mexico. However, it's all brightly colored and I found it a bit distracting. The prices aren't bad. They're slightly cheaper than other Mexican restaurants in the area and the service is better than the other restaurants in the area. We were immediately seated and our food was ready very quickly. The food is great. The only criticism I have is that the rice and beans weren't as warm as I would have liked. Nearly every dish is served with rice and beans, and many are served with guacamole and sour cream. The beverages are pepsi products and they even have a bar.

Very nice authentic Mexican restaurant with awesome food and fair prices. The staff is so welcoming and the food is delicious 😋 will return.

Excellent service and great prices

Didn't care for it...they put some kind of beef gravy over my enchiladas...not much cheese..not good. Great service though

Great food and typically great service. However, upon our last visit , we had a less that desirable experience. I had asked for fajitas with shredded chicken. What I received was grilled chicken chunks loaded with fat and gristle. I pointed out the error and our server told us that they dont offer shredded chicken. We knew this not to be true as we have ordered it before. He argued with us, and would not make it right. We then asked another server (Jana) and she was super helpful. Told us they do offer shredded chicken and was able to make it right. As the original server brought the corrected food to is, he offered no apology and rudely and aggressively placed the plate on the table and walked off. Other than this gentleman, the experience was good.
