    Place was decently crowded on a Tuesday evening. We reached ahead of our reservation and were promptly seated. Food portions were generous but overall bland in taste. Service was extremely good with the server checking on us from time to time. Overall a good place if you are more interested in the drinks than the food.

    It was my birthday. I've been there before and food is usually really good so I wanted to have my family experience too. Food was just okay. And service was absolutely terrible. Wrong drinks were given. Some people weren't even given the drinks they ordered 2 or 3 times. food was wrong. She took soo long in between for us to even try to get anything fixed. Margaritas got switched between my mom and I which isn't really a big deal but still. Everything took forever. Asked for sour cream with tacos and took her until we were done eating for her to bring it. Brought us a pitcher of water after we were done eating. Probably won't be back again.

    I ordered chicken fajitas, the rice/ beans were cold, the veggies(peppers/onions) were overcooked and mushy. The igloo was dirty, dirty napkins all over the floor and the table didn't appear to be wiped down. Our reservation was at 6, they didn't turn on the heat in the igloo until after we got there. I'm thinking if there is a set reservation to have it already warm for the patron. If the patron doesn't show up after the 15 minute grace period then maybe shut it off. We sat there waiting for it to kick in, should've just sat in the restaurant. I had to ask for silverware which I thought should've been supplied while being seated. I won't need to visit this place again, not even to try something different.

    The food was bland, waited at front desk for 14 minutes before being greeted. Once seated it was another 8 minutes before a server even greeted us. We ordered the guac flight - zero seasoning and they all tasted the same. The fajitas were mediocre at best. The drinks we had were the Love Potion #9 and the Moscow Mule and they were okay - not great, and definitely would not order either again.

    Drinks were decent, but took a while To get. Our bill for two people, dinner, was $174. Our food was cold and the tortilla for my enchiladas was falling apart like it was old. The salsa didn’t taste like anything, was just extremely Cold. They were not that busy and the waitress just kept Saying the bar was backed up. Was so much money and not worth it. Very sad.

    I really enjoyed celebrating my birthday at Mesa. The margarita flight is fun and delicious. It is however a little pricey in comparison to other Mexican restaurants. The food was good. The service was a little slow for not being very busy yet but she was friendly. We will go back and give it another try

    Went for Taco Tuesday and Tequila and was very disappointed. The Fajita sizzling plate came out with no sizzle, my friends steak tacos came out cold, drinks were just okay; let’s just say I wasn’t Happy.

    The food was great but the service has gone down considerably since the pandemic. After ordering, we didn’t see our waitress again until dinner was brought out. She disappeared again after that. No, she was not over-seated nor did it appear that they were short staffed.

    Honestly didn’t have a great experience. Booked the outdoor igloo and they forgot to assign us a server. Moved inside to tell them and sat inside hoping service would be better but it was mediocre at best. Everything took FOREVER and there were maybe two other tables being used in the entire place. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. Also do NOT order the avocado black bean tacos — basically a massive blob of cold guacamole in a tortilla with a few veggies sprinkled on top.

    Food was just ok, but over priced. We got two drinks that tasted like zero alcohol was in them. Sat in the igloo but the ground was really wet and the table was dirty when we got in there, even though we had a reservation. There was a hole in the igloo that was covered with a napkin. Service was slow. Food came out at different times and i got the fajitas but waited another 5 minutes for the tortillas. Won’t go back.

    Our server Cammy was amazing. After seeing some not so great reviews I was nervous. The food was excellent too! My mom ordered the enchiladas that were great. My son and I have fajitas that we’d definitely order again. We travels about an hour to do the igloo dining. It was cold but cute. Will return.

    Other than our table being ready at reservation time, this was not a great experience. Our server was very nice when she came to the table, but she didn't come often enough. Our apps came before our drinks, half of our foods were cold, and it took a conversation with the manager to get some face to face with our server. Food was good, but not worth the menu prices.

    Food and margaritas were amazing! The sangria however tasted like Hawaiian Punch and didn’t taste the wine at all that was inside. Didn’t want to complain and perhaps we should have. But at $40 for a pitcher, I certainly would have expected to taste the wine.

    We had a nice time however, the food was just ok. The Guacamole flight or trio wasn't very good..way too much lime. I ordered 2 tacos, one being the shredded chicken taco Americano. The shell was so tough I couldn't bite through it. The drinks were over priced and mostly ice. And lastly, the menu...oh Lord! It looks as though it was put together randomly...no rhythm or reason at all, tacos mixed in this drinks, all mixed up to where you easily miss things like the Margherita tower that we would have probably ordered had we seen it!

    Came for my birthday dinner with friends. We waited over 30 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered. Kitchen messed up multiple orders. Restaurant was “out” of many things we wanted to order. Couldn’t even get one of their famous shakes for my birthday, out of everything. Overall a poor experience and will not be going back again. Extremely disappointed.

    We waited ages to be sat down even though we had a reservation. Then, another wait for chips, salsa, and water. The chips were excessively salty. Then another long wait for food. Our server didn't know which dish was which- and that was a problem since half our party was vegetarians. That was finally sorted out- BUT- they got the order wrong, and one of the vegetarians got chicken. No apology. With so many good restaurants in Royal Oak, we wont be visiting again soon.
