We were seated right away (had reservations) and greeted by our waitress quickly. The waitress was cheerful and had great suggestions. Food came out quickly but we were not rushed to finish and enjoyed the entire dinner. Highly recommend steak, shrimp, chicken or combo fajitas. We tried the combination fajita which was very flavorful and had enough to enjoy leftovers the next day. Several great drink options and the tres leches cake for dessert was delicious. There were groups of all ages including, couples, friends and families.
Food was better than any other Mexican restaurant I have eaten at, which is many! Service was excellent. Drinks were great. Music was great, a little loud for me, but I'm 58 years old.
Food, service and atmosphere were great here! Definitely would come again!
Taco Tuesday was the best. Delicious food and great music playing. We had a great time celebrating birthdays.
First of all- the food is always amazing. We got the table side guacamole, authentic street shrimp tacos (holy smokes) and chicken enchiladas. All amazing. No complaints. Little pricey but worth it!
Our server? -100/10. We had a reservation and were sat in the bar area at a table. Natalie was her name. I’m assuming she was a bartender as well because she spent most of her time behind the bar. Initial reaction from her was complete annoyance like “why are you here”. She rolled her eyes, hastily took our order, and not once came back to see if we needed anything. We had to ask a manager for more water, that’s how awful it was. For the price of the food- I expect better service. We decided that should we return- we will specifically ask to NOT be sat in her area. I can understand being busy or overloaded with tables but- her attitude completely ruined a lovely, much needed evening out for us. Your staff does make a difference!
My bf and I went to Mesita for Valentines Day and it was our first time, we absolutely loved it!! The food was incredible, the waiters were very attentive, great music, a lot of food per plate, and just a very great ambiance overall! Definitely planning to come back ☺️
Wonderful ambiance
This was my first time at Mesitas but not the last I will definitely come back at this beautiful restaurant.
First the music was great, lighting was just perfect, my waiter Tim was very nice.
The cocktails were delicious 😋
The food amazing.. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Celebrating valentines with my wife
All and I mean every single one of the staff is very friendly and professional
Went on Friday the 12th and was pleasantly surprised with a live Dj. I was expecting the salsa music which I love but this was nice and unexpected.
The Dj was great, mixing old with new and it was so good I just wished they had dancing 💃🏽. Felt like old times. Thanks mesita for a great pre valentines meal with music 🎶
Amazing! We love it here. The staff and owner or manager are always so amazing. This place makes COVID feel more normal with their awesome atmosphere and their delicious food!
Everything was amazing food is delicious and very friendly staff. One of my favorite Mexican restaurants by far
AMAZINGGGG! Food & drinks hand down.
Our waiter Eric was great and attentive. The food was excellent.
I was very displeased with the service of the security and management team. While I was visiting this establishment I as well as my guest was verbally harassed in which we defended ourselves but we were treated as we were the aggressors in the situation. They do not follow social distancing protocols within this establishment I requested that the security guard not get in my face to which she responded that he did not need to listen to me and respect the CDC guidelines of 6 feet.
As someone who has been patronizing this establishment for over three years I am extremely disappointed in this experience. I would not recommend anyone to service this establishment as they do not provide a safe and inclusive environment for all patrons.
Very satisfied
Food was great as always
Danny was our waiter. He was great! Best waiter at Mesita!!!
Ambiance, service music the vibe was everything. Wished they would clear the tables for evening dancing but covid took care of that idea. Definitely recommend this place
Place was great and awesome service
Great food, amazing desert, great service! Definitely coming back here!
The food was flavorless. The waiter was nowhere to be found. The restaurant was very loud and crowded. Not social distanced enough
The food and ambience was everything! Definitely going back with friends in the future.
Great experience and vibe !
The food was delicious. I ordered the steak tacos. They steak was cooked perfectly. There were 3 tacos. They were pretty big and full. The drinks are very good too. It’s a great place to eat. Service was great.
Great food and Awesome service! All COVID Protocols were adhered too. It was a great birthday celebration for my boyfriend!
Service was amazing.
DJ was playing random music though, I guess he was playing what was in his heart at the time lol.
Drinks are amazing & a creeper.
Food is good.
Would definitely go back, it was a great vibe !
Made reservations, was about 15 mins late but was able to sit down right away when arrived. We were allowed to sit down although everyone in our party was not there at the same time. Waiter was very patient as we waited for our friend to arrive. Food & drinks were really good. If you love Mexican food and margaritas I would definitely recommend.
Food is delicious, service is friendly and quick- will definitely be returning to try their brunch !
Wonderful date idea. Food is great. Prices are a bit higher than the usual Mexican spot but it’s expected because of the pandemic. Parking is hard to find and the place is very busy. Overall, had a wonderful time with my date. If you’re planning on saving money, get the Parillada Mexican. It comes with steak, churizo, grilled chicken and shrimp. Serves 2-3 people. We had to pack our food to go.
Has a great socially distant 21st birthday for my daughter.
Food was great and the service is fantastic!
It was my first time here and I had a good experience. We went on Taco Tuesday. We had a reservation and only had to wait a short while before we were seated. We were seated in the party room in the back, but we were happy with it. The food and service were good. Although the actual prices were a bit higher than what was listed on the website, the food was still cooked very well and was a good value. I want to go back to try some additional dishes. I would recommend this place overall.
Great restaurant for all occasions
Great time as well
Eric was super nice
Had a great time here. I’ve had a few brunches here in the past but wanted to introduce my family to this nice spot. Brunch food is amazing. I love the variety of choices you get to have... I would say everything is my favorite but my go to breakfast is their Mesitas French Toast. Getting their guacamole is a MUST. It’s a good shareable size of guacamole for a party of 4-6. Servers are great. I enjoy their bottomless memosas too.
Great food at very reasonable price. Portions are generous. Table side guacamole was awesome! Great margaritas.
It was a special occasion and the staff was sooo nice and they accommodated us.
Wonderful time. Staff is attentive and very friendly
Great service and great food.
Loved the environment...will return!
Highly energetic and enjoyable and crowded. From the moment we arrived—make reservations—and greeted by Eric and a most friendly staff, we had a great time. Great margaritas and appetizers—msin course good but not up to the total experience. Dessert Muy bien tambien.
