Located on a quiet residential street at the Eastern edge of the Village, facing a playground, everything about Mezcla's situation and exterior screams \"neighborhood restaurant\" (hold your breath).\n\nAs advertised, the menu features a selection of Latin dishes boasting local ingredients.  However, what really shocks you here is the pricing.  With a few starters and mains breaking the $20 and $40 mark, respectively, the restaurant's \"neighborhood\" label is out the window!\n\nOur first time at Mezcla had its shares of ups and downs.  We may justify paying upwards of $100 per person before tip (no wine) for a ritzy setting or a world-class chef, and although the food tonight did show ambition and creativity, we did not feel the overall experience was worth the price tag.
