    Tacos al Carbon With double rice with entry in the background
    Rosalva C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Food, service, ambience. Cute little small town vibe. We live close and just trying new places.

    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.

The caldo de res was better than home, and very well served portions. At least 10-12 oz of meat maybe more and a great array of veggies and excellent rice and condiments on the side. They don't skimp on the lime for the soups either. We ordered an extra order of flour tortillas. The food came with two for each but they were so good we got one more order. Also for alternative sweeteners they have yellow blue and my favorite pink which I have found they have available less and less. I will come back again. The menudo was excellent. Only complaint is they could have better soup spoons. Bring your own if you are partial to deeper soup spoons, which is petty in the big picture of it all. My dad is picky as I will get out. I am sleeping good tonight with a warm full tummy! The music is classic Mexican and most of my mom's favorites were playing. She was born in the 40's and loved all the classics. We decided to try the flan for dessert .It was about average but we didn't leave any on the plate , and they brought us two spoons on request. We are coming back for breakfast tomorrow .

I ordered a glass of sangria and it came out as a glass of Merlot. I ordered quesabirria tacos and charro beans. The beans had a good flavor but it was mostly broth not many beans. The birria tacos had a good flavor but were extremely oily, making them get soggy quick. My husband had the guisada which he said was tender and the flavor was good. The service was good. They bring out two salsas and beans with the chips which was nice but a bit underwhelming as far as flavor. The restroom was separate from the sink and the sink had no soap which left me hoping they wash their hands in the back. For the price, I'm not sure if I will go back.

They ask if potato and beans are ok before serving. I made two big burritos of beans potato and egg with the tortilla that came with the order and the extra order of tortilla I got. Breakfast was a ten! I loved it! Dad had huevos rancheros over medium. They came on a bed of corn tortillas pan fried and beautifully prepared. The refried beans were on point and the papas were just right. The service was amazing. They have milk, half and half or vanilla creamer. It's good to have choices! The salsa was red or green I tried both and the green won for me. The red was mild enough for kids and elders and that's great! Very family oriented environment! Booster seats and high chairs available. No changing table and only one accessible bathroom. The bathroom needs a "manita de gato" as we say. A good cleaning of the floor. Sink and toilet were acceptably clean. They have a scan menu too. Overall it's an 8 out of 10. If the bathroom was cleaner I would give them a 10 of 10.

It is a great place to have a breakfast meeting. Music isn't too loud. Hotspot for breakfast burritos in Joshua. The drive thru line can get long, so if you go during peak time, expect a 10-15 minute wait. The juice is worth the squeeze though!
