Arrived around noon, staffing a bit short. Lindsey was doing the work of multiple staff. Food was very good, surprise for a small town. Likely very happening business at night, nice bar options, large seating area. On short list when in area. read more

Looks like we found anew hidden gem in Joshua! I've noticed this restaurant in the little downtown area of Joshua for a while and always wondered about it. Since I didn't feel like cooking tonight, we finally decided to give it a try. We ordered online and pickup was a breeze. First off, La Mesa does a fantastic job with packaging--takeout can be a gamble, but everything was packed perfectly and was still nice and crispy when we got home. We started with the queso, chips, and salsa, and were super pleased. The salsa has a nice kick without being overwhelming, and the queso was the perfect consistency (and a great price for the portion!). We also tried their jalapeño sauce, which was so good I could honestly put it on anything.For our entrées, the Chile Rellenos were a bit different than what you find at other places, but we loved them. Instead of the usual heavy egg batter, the coating was thinner and beautifully crispy, and topped with fajita meat. We substituted the rice for their street corn, which was an amazing decision--it was absolutely delicious! We also ordered the Valentin Pizza, which had a great flavor combination. Their chicken was perfectly seasoned and paired beautifully with their pickled purple onions (I could eat a whole bowl of those onions by themselves!). Overall, this was an excellent takeout experience. We will definitely be back to dine in next time! read more

Such a cute atmosphere! The food was on point - the best cheese enchiladas, and Lindsey was the best server! We have a new favorite Mexican Restaurant! read more

I ordered the appetizer sampler (to go) with steak nachos, chicken quesadillas, and chicken taquitos. I have never seen nachos made that way and everything was awful. It was not worth $16 and I will not be eating there again. And yes, it came in a pizza box! read more

La Mesa Mesquite Grill - Mexican Near Me - Joshua, Texas

Taste of everything was excellent! I had the chicken enchiladas with house sauce recommended by our waiter. It's a cross between queso & verde sauce...so good! My sister has the chili relleno cheese enchilada plate. Also amazing. Our server was so nice and attentive. Ask for the creamy jalepeno sauce with chips when you go. read more

Feels like a cafeteria in there cause it's so bright and with the open seating... If they could dim down the lights would be much better.

I've heard bout this place and was told I should check it out to see what I thought. Once inside I liked the decor and ambience. Everyone seemed very friendly and I was attended to very quickly. The music playing was a good mix that felt appropriate in setting the "mesquite grill" vibe. There were several menu options for both the meat eaters and non meat eaters alike. I liked this for my vegetarian friends. Upon being seated someone immediately brought out a basket of chips and salsa. I ordered queso as an appetizer to munch on as I looked over the menu. I asked if I could try a few items a la cart as it was my first time there and they said that it was an availble option, YAY. As I waited, I received my quesoThe queso was good but the chips was where it was at! They were so thin and crispy and I don't know if they had any seasoning but I just couldn't stop eating them! I ordered the Tacos Al Carbon as my main dish then ordered a street chicken taco, and a brisket tamale. I was enjoying my chips, salsa, and queso...then came the food...the tamale was HUGE! I had ordered it without the salsa/sauce that comes on top because I wanted to really taste the flavor of the masa and brisket inside. Let me tell you, I wasn't expecting the taste to be so good. It felt very authentic and homemade. I'll definitely be coming back for these tamales! On the other hand the street taco was ok. The chicken was flavored well but it was not anything that stood out to me. The tacos al carbon with beef were also ok. Their flour tortillas were generic flour tortillas and it just made it like any other taco I would eat. I really wish they would put more thought into a homemade flour tortilla as this would have definitely elevated their tacos. Overall, their flavors were good. I would absolutely come back for the tamales and that alone makes me think I'd like to try some other menu items. read more

A welcoming great place to enjoy a delicious meal, have a refreshing drink, and enjoy good company. Conveniently located In Joshua on North Main. Very nice building love their landscaping. Their interior was neatly decorated and organized . A very nice calming atmosphere and very clean. Fantastic waitstaff and our waitress, Lily was a delight, very intentive on getting our order, and getting it out fast. I can recommend the chicken enchilada dinner. But go check it out yourself. They have a delightful menu. Prices are good. I'm so glad my friend Jackie recommended this establishment for us to dine at last night. Thank you all at La Mesa Mesquite Grill for a wonderful meal and great service . I will be going back and taking friends and family. read more

Amazing food and even better lunch crew. Alyssa and Lindsey are the best!! I have never had a bad meal here. You won't be disappointed!

Food is not even basic and the service was horrible. Our waitress had a huge chip on her shoulder, she should take her attitude to work in a shipyard. Horribly overpriced for what it was, fast food Tex-Mex has more flavor. read more

My husband and I visited for the first time on a Saturday at 3:30 p.m. At that time, there were only five tables being served. No one greeted us when we entered, so we found a table and sat down. Three servers walked past us multiple times without acknowledging us. We eventually asked one server for menus. A young man brought chips and salsa and told us our server would be right with us. Another server walked by shortly after, and I asked if someone would be waiting on us soon. She went toward the kitchen, but no one ever came. After waiting ten minutes, we decided to leave. With six staff members present and only five tables, it's unclear why no one could take care of us. Unfortunately, this experience reflects poor management, and we will not be returning. read more

Wife and I stopped by for an afternoon snack of nachos. Have eaten enchiladas here before and were good. This trip was not up to par. Hardly any fajita meat on the nachos. Just one small piece in each chip and little too much pico. Staff was friendly and very attentive as have been in past. Will go back but not for nachos. Giving them a 3 for this visit. Oh yeah the restroom doors are awesome. read more

Two of us went for lunch! Aug 1.2025 Waitress and service were awesome. But I go to lunch for the food. my taco was tasteless and boring and the person I was with said meat/seasonings was off. Almost no lettuce or cheese in both. My friend had chicken enchiladas and said chicken was overcooked and dried out. Her tamale was 99 percent masa and a tiny strip of what looked like meat. My enchilada was lackluster in flavor. Would definately PASS on eating here. 42.00 bill with no drinks for boring flavorless food is ridiculous. There are better places to eat.... This is not real Mexican food imo. read more

First visit and pleasantly surprised! Food was excellent and plentiful. This from a guy who moved to the area from the home of Tex-Mex food. We had excellent service, Definitely will return. read more

How was the food? No idea. Went in with a party of 4 on Sunday and the restaraunt was less than 1/4 full. Hostes and waitress looked confused just trying to seat us. Get to our table and sit there 10 full minutes without a single person coming to our table. No drinks, nothing. Watched these young girls come in and out of the kitchen laughing and playing with whoever was back there. They also looked like they were confused about other tables food orders. Another table of 2 sat next to us about 5 minutes after us. Those ladies got chips, salsa, and drinks. This restaraunt is very mismanaged and the staff is not taking their jobs seriously or professionally. Will never come back. read more

Love the food here. The mexican pizza is my FAVORITE, and it's huge! The chips and salsa are amazing. I could eat a jug of it. We have loved our food every time we go! The only thing I seriously dislike are the screeching chairs. It's constant, and so loud. Some felt on the bottom of the chair legs would make time spent here so much more pleasant. Otherwise, highly recommended. read more

We have been here twice. The first time was ok. Food was decent but service left something to be desired. We tried again yesterday (08/24/2026) and ended up leaving without ordering so much as a glass of water. The restaurant wasn't busy but you could tell they were a little under staffed and unorganized. That's completely understandable; however what isn't excusable is watching two tables get seated after you and get immediate service. No employee ever came to our table and then we watched as two of the wait staff, one of whom sat us down, come running in and out of the kitchen laughing and joking. That was enough for us. I'll never come back and I'll relay my experience to others who ask. read more

Great food and even better service. Lindsey and Alyssa are killin it!!! Highly recommend La Mesa, especially for lunch.

Great value, bar staff and Alyssa are amazing at what they do. This is by far the best place to eat in Joshua.

We came in at 5:30 pm on a Sunday and ordered 2 frozen margaritas and the young bartender came back and explained how they only had enough left for one and how they had to clean them that night. And we were explained that we didn't want to make her refill it just for us, but the bartender was very nice and insisted on refilling it just a little to allow us to have a couple frozen each. The manager, 'Amanda', however was very rude and unprofessional telling the young bartender, "why did you refill it" and "ok, well I'm shutting it off at 6:30" etc while setting on her phone in the corner. Totally ruined the night honestly and made the vibes super weird. The bartender was very nice, the drinks and food were good but the manager was very unprofessional. Would also like to add that they close at 8:00 pm as well, not like it's 30minutes before close. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Hands down. Salsa and tortillas are fantastic! The staff are welcoming and everyone is so kind. Small town feel but the food... the food is sooo good! read more

A very good Mexican food restaurant. The best in Joshua. Will go back! ( Also, I love the signs on the restrooms :-) it doesn't get much clearer than that.... ) read more

Really good food! The chips, salsa, queso and enchiladas are excellent. But the showstopper is the chili relleno. Yum!!

Consistently good food. Mostly good service. Family oriented. Love Joshua. Its a quaint small town just south of Fort Worth. Worth the adventure! read more

Stopped in around lunch time on Saturday and was seated immediately. We got a variety of food including nachos fajitas and the Mexican pizza. It was all really good. The portions are HUGE. Pricing decent for portion sizes given. read more

La Mesa Mesquite Grill - La Mesa Fajitas. They was so delicious. First time eating here and our bar top waitress Lindsey was amazing. I can tell she loves her job. - Mexican Near Me - Joshua, Texas

First time visiting. The food and service were decent. I would go back and try something different. A friend and I split a sampler appetizer and Mexican pizza - we wanted to try something new. We also got drinks, they were really good. However, the website said they had flights, but they didn't have them. Evidently the restaurants don't all have the same menu. read more

La Mesa Mesquite Grill - Sampler appetizer and Mexican pizza - Mexican Near Me - Joshua, Texas

The food and ambience are quite nice. Service was superb, with kind and enthusiastic servers. If I had one consideration, of which I deducted one star from this review, it is the price-point for the City of Joshua. I went in for lunch and enjoyed a taco salad. By the time I rang up I was at $18 before tip, and I drank an unsweetened tea. Certainly the food is quality, and I value this aspect of my visit. Yet, in my opinion, for our market in Joshua it should be about 25% less: read more

Great service, food and hospitality. After our meal we asked for a small bowl for some leftover queso , then our server asked us if we wanted some chips and hot sauce as well. Even asked if we wanted a new drink for the road. Sometimes it's just the small things that make the biggest difference. read more

Great food. Second night in a row to eat here! Both excellent experiences! Friendly staff! Great food, excellent atmosphere! I do recommend this place! We will be back! read more

This is a great new Tex-Mex place with everything you'd expect on the menu. The tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas are great. The salsa is exactly the way I like it and it's got most of the same ingredients I use when I make it. The chips are light and crispy but just thick enough to hold up the salsa. The service is great and we're glad they're here. read more

We tried this place out when it was brand new to see what all the hype was about, we went in at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the place was totally dead no customers, we ordered our food it was the worst food I've ever put in my mouth! It took forever for the teenage waitress to come and even take our drink orders, and much longer to get the food! I guess if they weren't busy on their cell phones and gossiping with the other employees, they could find time to wait on the only table in the entire building! They are very overpriced and definitely need better cooks in the kitchen, the only thing that was semi-tasty was the salsa! read more

I definitely recommend this place! They have probably eight choices of sauce for your enchiladas/burritos. I had the cheese and onion enchiladas with red chili sauce. They were excellent! My companions had chicken enchiladas with the Le Mesa crème sauce and the steak fajitas. Both were extremely happy with their food and the servings were large. They have very good salsa and the chips are light and fresh. I enjoyed the music which is mostly eighties rock. I didn't have a drink, but they do have a bar and 1/2 price margaritas (sometime during the week), please call to confirm. Overall the experience was good and the food was great! Joshua is quickly becoming the go to place for great food, especially if you live in Cleburne, Godley, Burleson or Crowley. read more

I'll give it four stars for the simple fact that I don't recall anything bad from there. I have only been once. We had a large party and it was nice! read more

This is a cool little Mexican spot in Joshua. The interior is designed very nicely and it has a very welcoming atmosphere. I loved the salsa (the real rest of any good Mexican restaurant is always the salsa) but wasn't thrilled with the rest of my order. I got the La Mesa Chicken Enchiladas which were dry and the sauce was kind of blah. The chorizo bean dip was super good. I'd be excited to go back and try more off the menu. The staff was very nice and attentive despite being super busy and understaffed. Definitely recommend! read more

Great service, great bartender and manager! Bomb food, fast service and food delivery! We'll go again soon

New building offers a nice clean atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was meh at best. Ground beef tacos for my wife. The beef had not been properly drained. The grease had soaked the once crispy shells into a soggy mess. The rice was inedible. My Chimichanga had been over fried. The salsa was the best part of the meal. Edit: Having said this, I've always given a restaurant 3 strikes before writing it off. This is one. read more

We come here about once a month. We usually sit at the bar but our son was in town so we sat at a table. The staff is always happy and courteous. The table had some food residue on it. The chairs are extremely loud and uncomfortable. Every time someone moves they screech across the floor. We got the quest, which is flavorful. The fajita salad is big but the chicken was dry and not freshly grilled. My son got the enchilada trio which he happily ate. Although arguably could use more cheese inside and on top of each one. The beers are always cold. We love the frosty large mugs. We will come back! read more
