I went to LaPaz last week for a fishing trip. The charter service included four nights at local restaurants as part of our package. They did not skimp on which ones they picked and always put their best foot forward. The highlight of these dinners was the El Mequite. I have not normally associated Mexican dining with great beef, but this place rivals any place I've been (e.g. Manny's in MN, etc.). And, by USA standards, it is very very reasonably priced. We had drinks and the shrimp appetizer to start off with. One platter was good for our party of five. We are all "retirement age" but peppy enough to go after game fish in the Sea of Cortez, so we carry an appetite. The shrimp were plump and not overcooked at all. They were served in a rich sauce as shown in the photo. Yum! We then went on to the main course, which was two platters of Chateaubriand. Each platter is meant for two people, but locals told us that the dual platters would easily serve the five of us. They were right! The pounds of center cut tenderloin and the accompanying vegetables and baked potatoes were more than enough for us after the appetizer and a couple drinks. It was delicious and we ate to discomfort. The dessert was flan and this was tasty and cooked fresh on premises that day. Great stuff! Service was perfectly attentive and, although there is not a lot of English spoken here, there is enough that us gringos were able to easily communicate what we wanted. When you are in LaPaz, this is the place if you are a meat eater! read more

Excellent food, service, ambiance! Beautiful presentation on all the food and the burgers are monumental and delicious! Service was friendly, welcoming and efficient. Our waiter Alex was great, and as an added bonus his English was excellent for those of us just learning the beautiful Spanish language. Pasta Alfredo with shrimp was very tasty. We will be back! read more

This place is a little gem in La Paz. The service is great they greet you the second you walk in. Alejando was very attentive and gave us great recommendations. The BBQ ribs were delicious very tender. The meat fell of the bone. The Alexander burger was huge and came with fries or salad. I would definitely come back. read more

This is the absolute, hands down, best food in La Paz. If you like melt-in-your-mouth steak, you must try the Chateaubriand! And I'm not sure what they put in their mushroom gravy, but I'm fairly confident it has some kind of unicorn magic included, because it is fantastic! We visited in April and dreamt about their food for 6 months before we could get back to La Paz. We have been multiple times since being back down in the Baja and every time we our eyes glisten, mouths water and we leave full and satisfied... I wish I could work there just to smell their food daily, it's that good! And if Alejandro is your host, be sure to take advantage of his knowledge of Mezcal for the perfect pairing with his custom concoctions! Thank you for the memorable experience and we'll be sure to be joining you again very soon! read more

This place is a real gem. I had probably the BEST burger (El Mezquite burger) I have EVER had! Wow! Smoked meat, plus a phenomenal combination of toppings (garlic, onions, 2 kinds of cheese, arugula, and cherries which I never would think to add). The flavor was amazing. My wife got the catch of the day and the fish was cooked perfectly with a great sauce and veggies. And did I mention portion size? Grande - burger took 2 hands and the fish entree could feed 2 people easily. Service was fast, and prices are low. We went 2 nights in a row... wish they had a location in Cabo San Lucas, where we paid over double for less. read more

Great place go now Tell him Benjamin sent you wonderful night of dancing. Good drinks great music.

We ate here three times because it was so good! They are masterful with beef. They cook over mesquite and every time our steaks were cooked perfectly to order. Although we never had hamburgers, we would see them go by and noticed how huge they were. People seemed to really enjoy them. The service is prompt and the food is delicious. We will always return to El Mezquite Grill when we visit La Paz. read more

Medium well Traditional burger was really good. Definitely will come back. The wings was a little salty for my taste, but they were aight.

The meat is the star here, and the asadero knows what he's doing. Fun place to come with a group and get your beef on.

Log wait but perfectly prepared food. Surf and turf was great, and included grilled veggies. The mixed salad with grilled mushrooms was also top notch. Not cheap by La Paz standards, but good beef and fish aren't cheap so... read more

Place was delicious. The meat here is really cooked to perfection. I enjoyed everything that I tried. Good portions and priced correctly. Next time I'm gonna have to est a hamburger they look amazing. read more

El Mezquite Grill - I had the Filet - Barbeque Near Me - La Paz, BCS

Some of the best food and experiences I have ever had, even for an American. Never have been to this establishment, yet enjoyed every single menu item we chose, from the portobello mushroom dishes to the mesquite burgers and chateau brionne, everything was amazing. I also highly recommend Alex as your server, as he he easily made this experience a 10/10. Went two times in 3 days and never regretted it. Please support this amazing business, it's one to not forget from a food critic myself! read more

Always worth the wait!! Great service and friendly staff. Will definitely stop by next time we're in town. read more

Nice location for casual dining. Excellent service. Unfortunately the food is just not what it has been over the years. Prices are higher and potions are smaller. Huge disappointment in the mushroom sauce for the Chateau. Not what we have come to expect. Still good place but if you have been a long time patron you will be unpleasantly surprised by the menu changes. read more

El Mezquite Grill - Great burger!! - Barbeque Near Me - La Paz, BCS

Dinner here this evening with friends. Charming little place just a couple of blocks from the Malecon and walking distance from Marina Cortez. There were 4 of us and we ordered the Chateau Briand for 4. The portions were generous and delicious and the waitress was attentive and friendly. The meal came with large portions of salad, bread and sides. We're cruising to mainland Mexico this week and I would be back if we were ever here again. Definitely worth every penny! read more

Burgers are as good as you'll find anywhere! Kind staff and great mellow vibe in the restaurant.

Great atmosphere and good menu options. Great drinks! The burgers take center stage on the menu. I found them to be OK. They were surprisingly more bland than expected, but still high quality and prepared well. This place is busy on a weekend, so be sure to plan accordingly. read more

The chateaubriand was out of this world. Best steak I've ever had! And the mushroom gravy was to die for. The veggies were perfectly cook and delicious, and the baked potato had the most amazing cream sauce on it as well! This is a MUST if you are visiting La Paz! The service was wonderful as well-our server was attentive, kind and spoke great English. The ambiance was charming and inviting in this open air restaurant. read more

Still the best beef in La Paz!!! All meat grilled ti perfection on open pit mesquite grill. Have had every cut of beef in the menu and the hamburgers (which are enormous) and the worst one served was absolutely fantastic. read more

Quite possibly the best grilled fillet I've ever had and huge portion! My wife had the 4 cheese burger and said she loved it too.

This place is fantastic! Best hamburgers in Mexico and the USA! They cook over Mesquite and the place look like a old house with a thatched roof! A little mesquite smoke in the air! Love this place and would come back! So many choices of steaks and burgers! The Fillet is the best! About $69 dollars for four people with Fillet, Salad and more! Super deal and very good read more

This is one of our favorite places to eat in La Paz. We have always been treated well by the staff and are flattered they can remember us after such a long Covid induced break from the area. One of the best places to be a carnivore in the entire city and the "Mushroom Gravy" is so good I order one to go as a rule. Hamburgers are enormous and the service attentive and really nice. This is the place to go for a great cut of meat and a lovely meal in a cool place. read more

I can't believe this place isn't on YELP! It's amazing and everyone talks about it here. It's a hole in the way place, serving delicious food with friendly service. They have a whole page dedicated to burgers and include vegie/portabella vegan burgers - YUM! The sangria was also delicious. We did get bitten by quite a few mosquitoes, so beware of the time of day you come in. read more

Really good local steak and burger place about a block off of the main malecon area. Our group tried each of the steak options, the filet, ribeye and the arrechara and all were good with huge portions. We ended up taking half of each dish back to our Airbnb. The burgers were huge also. Everything tasted great and the service was excellent. Would definitely go back next time we're in the area. read more
