Stylish modern Mexican in Astoria with standout birria and a hyped tomahawk special; creative cocktails and lively vibe, but automatic 18% service charge, upselling, and occasional service hiccups temper the value.
Mezcaluna NYC delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by standout birria tacos and lamb shank, paired with attentive service and vibrant decor. However, inconsistent execution—notably variable tomahawk quality and occasional cold dishes—prevents grade A territory, while moderate uncertainty around review authenticity tempers confidence in reported metrics. Worth visiting for creative cocktails and chef-driven flavors, though watch for automatic service charges.
One caveat: Automatic 18% service charge and occasional upselling; review your bill
