Ok, so that was a mouthful to say, but it was also a wonderful mouthful indeed! I LOVE mole sauce. Since I was a kid, my mother made what I would say is the best. I base all other mole’s off of it. I have to say that the mole sauce at Mezcal on this chicken breast was amazing. It was sweet ,spicy and thick with the hint of chocolate. Just the way I like it! In fact, it has around 35 different spices in it which makes it incredibly complex and flavorful.

The chicken was cooked just right and over the yummy polenta, it was a hit to me. Stuffed with the jack cheese and a bit of garlicky spinach to round it off was a tantalizing delight to my palette.

All I can say is that I’m excited to go back an try the other delights on their new menu of ESPECIALIDADES DE LA CASA or house specialties. I’m looking forward to it!

Duck Confit Chimichangas from Mezcal Tequila Cantina was rolled and deep-fried flour tortillas filled with mushrooms, onions, jalapeños and jack cheese, topped with salsa verde, chipotle aioli and creme, served with Mexican rice.

Mezcal is in a new location in worcester and it is looking good. Love the open space and the cool fabrics and stunning lighting. And it looked like the menu got an update too. We have frequented Mezcal in the past because every once in a while we crave the absolutely yummy guacamole they whip up there along side a few margarita’s and it all makes for a very nice evening. This trip I thought it would be nice to delve into some of the dinner options so I went with a duck confit Chimichanga covered in a melody of pretty sauces. It was crispy on the outside and stuffed full of goodies on the inside. The duck was my favorite part as it had a wonderful aroma and even better flavor. The sauces were warm and spicy, adding an additional layer of flavor to the mix. This was a very big size meal and I was not able to finish it all off. Overall everything was quite nice, including our friendly and knowledgeable servers.
