   Outstanding service. With the reputation for always being busy and having exceptional food, we were surprised with the lack of much flavor in our dishes. They presented well and were cooked(neither under or over) but lacked the expected flavor of a Mexican dish.

   The food is amazing and location great! It was a bit chilly in the main dining area because they didn't have a separate door for the entrance. That aside, the decor is super auténtico as are the dishes and margaritas! We highly recommend!!

   The food was delicious. There are a couple of spices we cannot identify and perhaps that is what makes such good enchiladas and other options. (I almost always order enchiladas). We have been there twice in one week. Yum!!

    First visit. Initial greeting was amazing. Service was cheerful and quick. Ordered the tacos. Amazing flavors and loved their variety. Looking forward to a return trip to check out the rest of the menu. Very much worth the visit.

    Everything is very nice except the food. The meats are pasty and tasteless. Beans are thick and covered with greasy, coagulated cheese. The food lacks flavor and is very heavy overall. Chips had no salt on most and then a couple with tons of salt. The food is the problem.

    I hate to do this. I have been to this restaurant quite a few times. Unfortunately this will be the last. Wife ordered the beet salad which was underwhelming but tasty. I ordered the stuffed poblano pepper which was ok but not the best I have had here. That is where the positives end. My wife ordered a margarita and it took literally 15 minutes for it to come. I added an asada taco which I was very excited for and when it arrived the asada was cold. This was disappointing for a busy restaurant. The taste was great but cold steak is not my favorite. I also added asada to my stuffed pepper thinking it would be inside of the pepper but it was not. it was on the outside laid on the beans/rice surrounding the pepper. Unfortunately it was also cold. The wait staff was not as attentive as usual either. Overall Underwhelmed and disappointed.

    As fans of Nuestra Mesa, we get occasional emails inviting us to return for a meal. We hadn't made plans for Valentine's Day yet and jumped at the chance. My husband and I have enjoyed everything we've ever ordered at Mesa, and we eventually became attached to our favorite meals: chips and salsa, margaritas, the Mesa Burrito, and chili rellenos. Both dinners are enormous and can easily become two meals. The burrito is gently grilled in two sides to make it easy to pick up if desired. It comes wet or standard according to taste. My husband typically orders it with chicken. The chili relleno is a huge poblano pepper stuffed with cheese and deep fried so that the coating is perfectly crunchy. There's a choice of meats available if you want: so far I've chosen chicken or garlic shrimp. The wait staff is friendly and positive, and owners Todd and Tania stop by each table to check in and build relationships with diners. We consider Nuestra Mesa our favorite Mexican restaurant in the Vancouver/Camas area!

    My husband and I enjoyed Valentine's Day dinner at Nuestra Mesa... walked around the cute little Camas downtown area afterwards. This was our first time at the restaurant and the atmosphere is very nice. I'm vegan, my husband is not... sometimes food can be challenging for me. This restaurant had one dish that was close enough to vegan (veggie mesa bowl) for me. I also had a blackberry margarita which was excellent. We shared the chips/salsa/guac appetizer. The salsa was a roasted tomato salsa and it was excellent. The guac was... boring. Chips were excellent, authentic heavy corn. My husband ordered 3 chicken tacos and those came open face, smallish, pretty. He said that it was cold (because that amount of chicken in an open face taco isn't going to remain hot long) and somewhat unseasoned. The wait staff didn't offer taco sauce or salsa, he had to ask for it. So, OK pretty but not compelling. The mesa bowl I had was also pretty, but not compelling. Few veggies, a couple slices of brussel sprout, bell pepper and onion on a bed of rice and black beans. If I choose to substitute meat for veggies then I really am looking for more veggies than that and something beyond a couple slices of brussel sprout. It was also the only up scale restaurant I've ever been to on a holiday particularly that didn't offer dessert after dinner. I found that really odd. We didn't ask, they might have had something. So, all in all we enjoyed the evening out but the restaurant food wasn't such that it would draw us back again. I'd offer a comparison to Mi Corazon in Cannon Beach... they offered things like a carne asada plate where the carne marinade included hibiscus and it was so delicious I came out of my vegan space to have a couple bites. It was absolutely delicious and sorta made you want to bathe in it. That wasn't the case with the dishes we had at Nuestra.

    We got there and were greeted warmly. We waited a few minutes and we’re seated. Our service after being seated was pretty lame. We put in our drink order and waited. It was probably 15 minutes before they checked back on us. Finally put in our order. Everything took a long time. The appetizers were good, but the entries were disappointing. Service continued to be abysmal. It was too bad as we loved the area.

    This was our second time there. We made our reservation for a table outside because it was an option. When we checked in the hostess rudely told us they didn’t take reservations for outdoor seating fun that we’d were lucky because a table was available. OpenTable should remove the outdoor seating option when making a reservation. The food was ok, two people ordered the fajitas which were overpriced and the meat was tough and overall not an enjoyable experience. Neither liked their food. We probably won’t be back.

    The Irish waiter was awful. Screwed up our order several times. The food was almost cold and tasted bland. I had a Carne Asada burrito. The meat was fatty and not that good. I only could eat 1/3 and left the rest. Again the waiter was really lame. Good luck!!!
