Massachusetts really lacks Mexican cuisine, I found La Mesa on yelp after trying to look for something to eat. The pictures on the menu sold me. You can tell when something is good based entirely off the color of food, especially when it comes to hispanic entrees. I got the birria tacos for my first time, and it was the best mexican food I've ever had. Their birria tacos are the BEST in Massachusetts. I would absolutely recommend going by this area to order some, there's nothing to complain about. The area is more in the neighborhood, so you will be greeted with houses and the restaurant i n the middle of it. Inside they have all hispanic snacks and desserts you can buy and it's cozy inside! For service they are very straightforward and a bit of a language gap, but I'd recommend just ordering online if you're worried about that. read more

Love their birria tacos here! I appreciate how much beef they put in the tacos as well! Although the store was a bit drafty, the waiters were very kind and attentive! Absolutely recommend their rice and beans which had AMAZING flavors. read more

Delightfully yummy with quality ingredients. I got bumped off a flight and stuck in a hotel. Did DoorDash from here and was deeply satisfied. The quesa birria nachos were worth every dollar and could feed 2-3 people. The beef was so tasty, the cheese was melted, the pico de gallo was fresh and the guacamole and sour cream rounded out the nacho experience. Five stars, would order again. The BEST part of my meal was the mangonada slush with Tajin spice mix. Mmmmmmmmm tasty! You gotta try this if you like mango. So refreshing and tajin is the answer to any question about tropical fruit. (If you haven't heard, Tajin is a mix of dried chilis, salt and crystalized lime juice- spice, salt, and zest. Do yourself a solid and try it sometime.) read more

This place is legit! I haven't actually visited the actual restaurant, so I can't comment on the service or ambiance, but the delivery experience was out of this world. Based on the pictures, it looks like the vibes are pretty casual. My friends ordered a bunch of menu items and everything was absolutely delicious. Anything with the word Birria is going to be 10/10. The star of the show was the Birria Pizzadia, which was essentially a huge quesadilla with two layers, totally stuffed with meat and cheese. The quality of the meat was really good - just the right about of flavor and juice. The Shrimp Tacos were another standout and the shrimp themselves had just the right meaty texture. I hope to visit the restaurant sometime soon and try out some of their other menu options! read more

Everything was oily and the birria ramen was spicy. If you like that kinda thing then this place is for you. I felt sick after eating and was disappointed as hell. No ambiance since it's literally made in the back of a bodega. read more

The absolute best Birria tacos/quesadillas around. The flavors are amazing, the tacos are huge and filling, and the chips are tasty too. We ordered on door dash so I was worried about the food being cold and soggy, but even delivered, everything was hot, crispy and so so delicious. Even the consumme has amazing flavor. We absolutely love this place. read more

If you're looking for authentic and delicious birria tacos, this is the place to go! It is hidden in the left corner of a small convenience store with 2 seats to wait at. This is really a place where you'd get take out and go - no dine in. We wanted to eat while the food was still hot though so we ended up eating on top of the trunk of the car. Quesa Birria Tacos ($12.99) Came with 3 tacos and they were absolutely delicious. They were filled with the most tender and juicy beef, melted cheese, and onions and wrapped in 2 layers of hard shells so they stayed crunchy even after being dipped into the consommé. Birria Ramen ($9.00) Tasty and filled with chunks of beef and the noodles really soaked up the birria broth. This was perfect for dipping the birria tacos in. I will say that the broth did get too salty at the end so we couldn't finish it, but the first half of the ramen really hit the spot. Hot Churros ($6) Came with 2 long churros. They were crispy and powdered with cinnamon sugar on the outside and were light and fluffy on the inside. I enjoyed taking bites of it in between eating the savory foods. Overall, this is a solid spot for birria tacos. I would recommend ordering ahead so you can just pick it up and go! read more

I actually was super disappointed with the food here, from La Mesa Market Chelsea. I always saw posts about their food and the food always looked aesthetically pleasing. The space is very small. We placed our order at the register and waited 30 min for our food to be ready. We ordered birria tacos & shrimp tacos. Both were a total let down & inedible. One of the worst birria tacos I have ever tried. Lacked flavor, was not even hot, and consommé was watery + bland. The shrimp tacos were also not good at all; I would avoid ordering this completely. The flavors reminded me of shrimp wonton dumplings... not really what I was expecting for a Mexican shrimp taco. It threw me off. Nothing we ordered tasted fresh. My friend and I ended up only taking one singular bite out of each taco order and threw it away in the trash before driving to find something else to eat. The staff was also not very friendly and took a while before we were able to order. It was not busy at the time either. read more

It should be clear that a deal on uber eats is not given if you call in. I explained the situation and there was no remediation. It should be labeled as an online order only... read more

Stopped in because my Sister-in-law found them on FB and was craving Barria! Tiny spot in the back of the store, girls were super nice and friendly! Meat was all delicious and tender but the Shrimp Tacos were life changing! Will definitely be back to try more! read more

The food is absolutely amazing no doubt about that but the service is absolutely shitty and it's only because of one person is in. It's the person that is in the front taking your order the fat fucking turd who looks at you like you have a cock on your forehead when you try to basically Get an update about your order. I'm gonna drag out what I am gonna say is it's 1104 right now and I ordered Uber. He got here fairly quick, but it was the completely wrong order and you know I understand that accidents can be made on the job but with the person I am talking about, she literally just doesn't do her job. She doesn't know how to communicate. She doesn't even know how to speak English, which is OK but when you're trying to find out about your order, she looks like she don't got a clue in the world what's happening again this place the food not for the service read more

Comida rica pero trabajadores incompetentes. Sólo pedí 2 cosas (quesadilla de birria) y un street corn/elote. Y tomó 40 minutos esperar y no estaba muy ocupados. Cómo sea posible...solo hacen comida de birria...de hecho es casi lo hacen. La próxima vez, llamaré adelantado... read more

Cool spot to grab food! First heard of La Mesa from coworkers. They ordered buffalo chicken fries and it smelled amazingg. When I finally tried the place , ordered the same thing (months later), I wasn't particularly found of the chicken. (Still smelled and looked good tho!) BUTTTT today I went to grab food and was offered something off the menu (in store). I didn't even know they made stuff like this! It was a birra pastelito, came in threes, and got it for $9. Honestly Iove pastelitos in general, but was scared to have a birra version. I'm glad I said yes to getting these! They were so tasty. Obviously there's room for improvement (minor things like: slightly greasy--from my picky friend's pov. I had it with the sauce (dipped in) and didn't feel like it was greasy (1) and slightly crispy along the edges (at least from what I'm used to with Dominican/ Puertorican style pastelitos) My friend, who's a picky eater, loved these and I think that says a lot lol. Come in and give this place a try! read more

Best Birria in the city, the sauce is so much more flavorful and spicy. Also got the mulita, for the price, you can't go wrong

Ordered via DoorDash and my food was absolutely perfect even with an hour long delivery time. All the kudos to the kitchen... my chicharron was perfect and my birria tacos with the consommé were incredible. read more

This is the slowest place ever . Every single time I order from this restaurant my order is ready for pick up 20 to 25 minutes later than the estimated time. So basically if you order from this restaurant your order will take one hour for pick up no matter what day it is. read more

Food horrible and it felt like was old or probably frozen anyhow the corn tortillas weren't toasted but hard as wood and the the meat I won't even waste my time on how bad it was; for what we spent and wait like about an hour or so. I won't go there again their birria tacos were horrendous. read more

Terrible Ordered thru Grub Hub just now. I got the wrong order. When I called they were incredibly rude and actually hung up on me. Not cool man. Spent $50 on 3 cold tacos and brown guac. Never again never read more

Ordered for a party at 9am for 1pm delivery. Received confirmation and waited for order and got another confirmation/update that order was awaiting pickup. This continued for an hour until it was time for delivery. At that time we then received another update that the order "modified or cancelled" we then had to call the store where nobody answered for a half hour and then nobody was able to communicate with us due to language barrier. We later got an email saying it was cancelled. So disappointed and will be sure to not return. Disgusting service, the tacos are not that great to deal with such a lack of customer service. read more

Horrible costumer service. Always talking bout the costumers in Spanish. There lazy other then that the foods amazing

Honestly really a great spot. I ordered food via uber eats. I've been having issues with ubereats and drivers either not delivering all of what I ordered or bringing the wrong order altogether. I had the same issue again tonight and I called the store to get it situated. The woman on the phone was really nice and explained to me what happened and had a solution for me. Food is amazing. Customer service is also really good. 5 stars for sure. read more
