    Delicious food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff, but the waiting time was too long. Over 30 mins for tacos is definitely too much.

    Some of the best and worst food all in one sitting. The guacamole was some of the best I've had. The "prawns" served with it were overcooked. The Pastel Azteca had awesome smoked refried beans, but the chicken tasted like salty canned chicken and the sauce was beyond salty. The "shrimp" ceviche literally had two shrimp. The lemonades were just concentrates added to water.

    Delicious food, great service and even better drinks. My husband had three local Balboa beers and I had as many spicy margaritas. We both had tacos and the guacamole appetizer. The food and drinks were amazing and close to our hotel. Very safe area and the atmosphere was perfect. English speaking chef and staff. A must visit for sure.

    When I found Mezcalito I was searching for a tacqueria and I wasn't disappointed. The initial service was great and the menu selection exactly what I was looking for. I ordered the arechera taco with chorizo and a side of guacamole. From the first mouthful the guacamole was delicious and was quickly followed with the tacos which are probably the best I've tested outside of Mexico. This was beautifully complemented by the salsas, the red salsa being the best I've ever tasted in Panama. The tequila cocktail selection is also something to test a delicious way to round out a spectacular Mexican treat. Without a doubt I'll be back

    Food was tasty, service was good and place was cost and comfortable. Only restrooms need a bit of a freshen up.

    Really cute place to stop for a quick snack. One customer raved about the Locos Tacos but we were just grabbing something small we thought. They would’ve gotten a 5* but one of the shrimps smelled really bad that came with the guacamole. The mezcal margaritas were yummy. The guacamole itself was delicious & it’s a good sized dish with real fresh avocados served with perfect tortilla chips. It was just the one shrimp that missed the mark. The service was fabulous.

    I should have taken a picture. The food and service were excellent. Prices were affordable and the food was delicious. My sangria was tasty too! I’ll be back on my next visit to Panama.

    The food here is amazing! I ate here twice in 2 days. So many flavors and textures. Guacamole de la casa was so fresh and so was the fish ceviche. The fish tacos are delicious and huge. Carnitas 3 chiles are divine, juicy and flavorful meat with a great spice! Tequila Margaritas I tried were La Yucateca, La Veracruzana, La Pipope & La Brasileña which was my favorite. Service was fantastic. Highly recommend this place.

    Tacos Locos were great. Fun, colorful vibe and atmosphere. We loved it!

  • 5/5 danielle h. 1 year ago on Google
    The margaritas are SO good. You don’t taste the tequila, but they are strong! They are done so perfectly. We came back a second time on our last day of vacation just for them. I also recommend the queso fundito. Such great flavor.

  • 5/5 Paulita T. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the fish taco and margaritas. We highly recommend the fish tacos. The portion was big and will be filling. We got two different kind of margaritas both on the spicy side and they were really good. They also had live entertainment which was great 👍. This is a good place for a night out to chill with friends.

    Excellent place to stop for a drink and bite to eat. We dined on the sidewalk excellent quacamole and prawns. Go for it for full meal or drinks.

  • 4/5 William M. 1 year ago on Google
    Guacamole and salsa were great. The salsa is more Panamanian than Mexican style. Shrimp was fresh and good. All servings were rather small.

  • 5/5 Andrej K. 2 years ago on Google
    After some three weeks in Panamá, Mezcalito sovereignly surpassed every one of our some very good experiences. And we had some! Pescado ceviche was just so nice, smooth and good, excelent. Tres carnes taco here... Can't imagine you'll find something better anywhere else. As a favor of the place we recieved nice donut like dessert flavored after cinamon and apple. So delicious again! You have to try when in Panamá. Muchas gracias Mezcalito Pub :)

👍👍 This place is great. Our server Dante was perfect. He recommended the popcorn chicken Mac & Cheese & it was ‘sooo’ good. The chicken is crispy, covered in cheese with the macaroni underneath. Every bite was sensational. The quesadilla is a must. It has fried chicken, fries & some ‘flavorful’ sauce...

👍👍 Best food I’ve ever had. And that’s saying a lot for me. Price matches the quality of the food. Quantity could be slightly better. Although for what you get, it isn’t too bad. Food comes out as its finished. So no waiting for all entrees to hit the table simultaneously. Which is a plus! Highly reco...

👍 The place was dark, the crowd was young. At the time some of the food selections were not available mostly reggaeton and reggae music. Reservations are a must. The food was good and well seasoned.
