Reviews from Worcester Foodies I

It is the goal of Worcester Foodies to eat everything that Worcester restaurants cook and review it for you! Who are we to "rate" places?

Crispy Fried Boneless Chicken

Mezcal's Menu Description: Fresh breast of chicken with red jalapeno, caramelized onion, and sour cream mashed potato with a Mexican-style espresso gravy.
