Spinach and Cheese Empanada Chicken Empanada
Madison C.

What a cute little spot for some amazing food!!! The service was amazing. We had so many questions and all were answered. We received great recommendations and loved everything we got. We got Siopao (steamed buns with meat), two Pupusa Locas and two empandas (one spinach and cheese and one chicken! Everything was incredible! We brought everything home to enjoy. We cannot wait to go back and try more!

I've been fortunate to get to fly home to the Philippines every so often but haven't been able to do so over the last couple years because of the pandemic. I have missed Filipino food so dearly, so finding La Mesa felt like stumbling upon a fresh lagoon in the middle of the desert. I've tried a number of their dishes already but have to say that the longsilog is my favorite. The garlicky sinangag paired with the sticky sweet-savory longganisa just brings me back to eating breakfast with my mom. Truly my only wish is for this to be more of a sit-down restaurant, mainly because I feel like some of the offerings would be much better enjoyed straight from the kitchen. Most recently, my daing na bangus was cold by the end of my 15 minute drive home, but I'm sure the freezing winter is to blame for that. It may be time to invest in one of those insulated food bags for optimum yums.

Just finished an after hike lunch with Lisa E. Worked up an appetite and I rationalized that pork belly was the correct fuel my body was calling for. Those pork belly tacos with crispy onion and avocado were sublime. The fatty bits of pork meltingly tender and the onions adding a perfect textural contrast. As a side, I had the sweet comforting elote tamale. Beyond satiated in a good way!

Pupusas

I was in the mood for Spanish food. It's been quite some time that I had some. Yelp/DoorDash brought me here. I did have it bookmarked, so the time had come. I ordered pupusas and shrimp tacos. The pupusas were incredible. Flavors were on point. Very yummy! Shrimp tacos were just as delish. Perfectly seared/sautéed shrimp with fresh avocado, some cabbage and some type of sauce with excellent flavor. The tortilla was good as well. The pupusas came with a salsa that was fresh and delicious. I put it on both the pupusas and tacos. It paired well with the shrimp. The green sauce had a kick but was as equally delish! This place definitely fixed my craving for Spanish food. I absolutely want to explore more of the menu!

Ordered take-out from here. I had the Carne Asada platter. The portion was huge! There was plenty of steak, rice, beans, maduros and avocado for two people. I thought it was pretty good.

I was out shopping and didn't know what I wanted to eat. I found this little gem on yelp while searching in my area. I had the fried shrimp, yuca fries and elote. I especially liked the green sauce that came with the shrimp and the garlic vinaigrette sauce that came with the fried yuca. Everything was delicious. They also have a great selection of imported juices and sodas in the refrigerators. I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. They have a great variety of fusion dishes . You will not be bored with this menu. There is an option to dine in but the restaurant is small, so space is limited.

This restaurant is great. It's not a dine-in restaurant; more of a pick-up. I ordered the pollo pupusa with mozzarella cheese with chicken, the chicken empanadas, which were huge and the Carne Asada Plate centroamerica-style which is a grilled sirloin beef, yellow rice, and a side of house curtido salad. The food was fresh and the servers were very helpful. I also had chips and guacamole dip. I recommend that you call ahead to order instead of going to the restaurant to order. Since the food is freshly made it takes a while for it to be prepared. There is also a little area in the restaurant where you and buy spices, sauces and snack chips.

The place looked very clean, they have a large selection of snacks and beverages. They serve hot food and also have a large menu to order from. I wish I knew about this place sooner. The food was delicious and the service was great. I will definitely return to try different dishes.
