If you haven't been here yet... what are you even doing?! Hands down one of the BEST Mexican restaurants in Parkville. The service? Top tier. The food? Ridiculously good. And that avocado salsa?? Whew--it's got just the right kick to keep you coming back for more. Bonus points for being a family-run spot with awesome KC Chiefs, Royals, and Sporting KC murals. Good vibes, great food, and even better people. Go. Now. P. S. I'll add photos later read more

I went to La Mesa for lunch today, I ordered the chicken quesadilla-the appetizer-and I found a large bone in my quesadilla. It was as big as the prongs on the fork, so not a small piece. It completely ruined my appetite and I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. read more

The favorite Mexican restaurant in Leavenworth of the wife and I. The salsa and chips are delicious,we both tend to have our favorite menu items,but we also like the different specialties !!! read more

Came in on a Monday to enjoy some drinks and conversation with friends, sat on the patio. Beautiful weather was calling us. Chips and salsa are great. The ceviche was amazing as an appetizer. I ordered the mango fish, it was good, the mango salsa tasted great, the veggies were a little done. The fajita taco salad was very good, plenty of meat very filling. No one had any complaints. Everything was great. It started raining, and we had to move inside. Alicia was awesome. She took great care of us. Prices are great too. Will visit again read more

Food was good, so was the service. We ordered 1 sangria margarita and got another for free. It was nice but we couldn't finish the extra drink. We were seated right away. Got our food fast. Everyone seemed nice. Inside was nice, clean, packed but still lots of room to move and walk. read more

I went there this past Sunday with family for dinner. It was our first visit and I was really impressed with the service. Endless chips and fresh salsa and refills on drinks. The food was great, ordered the shrimp chimichanga, it was well seasoned and came with beans and rice, along with guacamole and sour cream. I will be back soon. read more

La Mesa Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Kansas

Was driving around town checking out the area and noticed this place had a packed parking lot. Decided to try it out. Sat at the bar and I didn't see a bartender for ten mins. After finally being acknowledged, I ordered a frozen strawberry and mango margarita. Pretty solid drink. Had to ask for chips and salsa. They are complimentary. Ordered the carne asada steak burrito. It was fantastic. 1 drink and burrito cost me 22 bucks. Not a bad experience after the rocky start. read more

Food has been great and more than I expected both times we've been. Will definitely be back. Service was a little slow but I attribute that to Sunday lunch crowd. read more

Very good Mexican. Great local spot playing Spanish music. Loved it. Sat at the bar towards the end of the night so there was a bit of a delay getting service. But after I found someone, service was pretty fast. I ordered the queso because an acquaintance said it's the best in town. It was really good and so was the salsa. Salsa didn't taste homemade but it was still good. I ordered the shrimp chimichanga. I usually get a quesadilla at all Mexican restaurants but decided to go out on a limb and try something knew. Totally tasted like a quesadilla. Lol. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. The fajita vegetable mix was seasoned very well. Yum yum yum. NOW for the show stopper. The Rice and beans OMG!!!! So good. I inhaled the rice and beans and didn't get a picture. I ate them all before I even tasted the shrimp chimichanga. Absolute recommend! read more

La Mesa Mexican Restaurant - Queso with chips and salsa - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Kansas

Very busy but extremely fast service. The team was very friendly and helpful. The food was good. And the hot salsa has the best flavor.

Awesome tacos! Margarita came out much faster and WAY stronger than I anticipated! Server was great!

Good place for Mexican food and margaritas that is very reasonably priced. They welcome you with chips and salsa when you get seated. The menu provides many delicious options and combinations if you want a taste of multiple things. read more

Awesome food! Great queso! Just recently remodeled, and the food is still awesome. They even have a party room for those big get togethers.

Good food. Great service. Love their margaritas! Always a fun time when we go there! Highly recommend Ka Mess...just wish they weren't so far from where I live. read more

I visit every other week or so. My son usually gets the shredded chicken on the nachos and saves the rest for the following day. I usually get the Pollo Bandito which is their chicken and rice with cheese sauce. The service is always quick, and they have more than enough servers to shuttle food and margaritas. I recommend this restaurant, and will continue to return. read more

The food was not authentic and had a weird taste. The servi e was also very slow although the place was packed. Maybe I'm too picky read more

La Mesa Mexican Restaurant - Snacks - Mexican Near Me - Lansing, Kansas

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! I've never eaten anything I didn't enjoy (all vegetarian items). The service is good, the portions appropriate, and it is a casual place to have fun with family or friends. read more

first of all, I met the kindest older woman in the bathroom. she warned me of the cold water before washing my hands. let's just say she had the gift of gab. now full disclosure, I was doing a number 2 in the bathroom, but she must've read my mind because she didn't come in until I completed my business. anyways, we chatted up a storm! clearly this restaurant is the way to go if a lovely woman like her is eating there. also great queso! xoxo, till next time. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Not very busy, though it is very big inside. Ordered Margaritas, which were very good. I also ordered the Fajita Taco salad. Although it was tasty, the portion size was small and I would have preferred more lettuce. The service was very fast and attentive. read more

Saw that this place was usually packed, so we thought we'd give it a try. The drinks were great (we had the house margarita and mango margarita). The salsa was very fresh with fresh cilantro in it. Had the standard burrito and it was very good! read more

So we didn't know what to expect of the food based on the ratings but we actually really liked it! The enchiladas were really good and the drinks were good as well. The service was hit or miss depending on the two servers waiting on us so we wound up with 8 waters for 4 of us and some minor mix-ups in ordering. However I definitely didn't mind due to a yummy meals and strong margaritas! read more

Off work early and headed in for a late lunch. Place was not busy at all, but took us and the folks entering behind us awhile to be seated. After being seated the service was quick and friendly. Salsa had a sweet taste that neither of us cared for. We ordered queso, which always excites me, but it was not exciting at all. Our entrees we dull and bland, even guacamole fell into the same category. Sadly, there was nothing great about our meals. Margaritas had a very strong mixture taste and we could hardly taste alcohol. We will not go back and continue our search for a great area Mexican restaurant. read more

Food is very good. Service is slow and the waitress/ waiters are so busy they don't pay attention to you. If the service was better could easily get five stars. read more

This used to be our weekly family dinner spot. I'm a nurse and so I get home late... tonight they had maybe 4 tables full restaurant wide. All the staff was on their phones. We were sat and waited 15 minutes for someone to ask us for a drink order and they never came. The babies are fussing and so we left. When we were leaving we told the one waitress we aren't waiting any longer for a drink order on our way out the door and she said "oh ok thank you" read more

Absolutely amazing fajitas. I had the Jalisco fajitas with a top shelf margarita. Very impressed with the flavor. authentico!

I know there's no way to expect much from anything in Leavenworth, Kansas. However, even though this place serves microwave food (which is disgusting), they could at least clean the place and not blast rap from the kitchen. Honestly, if you want Mexican food, just buy a microwave enchilada meal and go back to the hotel. read more

I'm here from California and wasn't expecting much from Mexican food out here but this was just awful. Ordered a number 5 which is one burrito, one enchilada, and one taco I believe. The taco was subpar at best, the burrito and enchilada were dry tortillas with just ground beef in them and queso sauce on top. First off queso sauce on all that? This isn't snack shack nachos lol! The enchilada if you can call it that was just a smaller burrito if you can even call it a burrito! Service was terrible, waiter was rushing us when there were like 3 other people in the restaurant. Over just straight up bad all the way around. Will never comeback I'd rather eat my dogs, dog food before returning and that's me being nice! read more

Meh probably wouldn't come back. We ordered a Chimichanga and House speciality Mesa Enchiladas not up to par with the many Mexican food places we've visited all over the country. Very bland, not super flavorful, and the best part of the restaurant was the atmosphere, chips and salsa, queso and margaritas. read more

Love this place !!! The nicest people work there the food is wonderful the drinks are wonderful

Excellent service. Excellent drinks. Excellent food. The salsa is very good. The Patron Shrimp was amazing, the side salad was giant and delicious. The $2.25 margaritas were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend it. Our waiter was amazing. He was on point. Would have been a perfect evening except for the 3 kids that running around and screaming and totally obnoxious. read more

Called ahead for apick up order. I know it is just after reopening but when you say the meal will be ready in 35 minutes and you show up 45 minutes later and the meal hasn't even been given to the the kitchen I would say bad service. Nice people, good food but need to get their act together. I finally got my meal 70 minutes after calling it in. I would also suggest have a English speaking employees at the register. Broken bad english was as good as it got. read more

First time visit. The Chile rellano was excellent, my husband really liked the burrito and the chips and salsa was good. Definitely would stop by next time we're in town. read more

I'm gonna be honest, this place is decent at best. Maybe i'm spoiled coming from Louisiana where there is a mexican restaurant on every corner, but this place just didn't cut it for me. I had a strawberry margarita and some queso to start. The queso was so underwhelming that i added salsa to it just for some flavor, but all that did was water it down. As for the margarita, all i could taste was flavoring syrup. For my entree i got the carne asada which came out dry and flavorless-- two things carne asada should never be. My date barely even touched his food as well... A pretty bland meal that came out to be almost 60 bucks. I will say our server was sweet and that is the only reason i didn't give 2 stars. read more

New to area and drove by and each time, the parking lot was packed. Thought it must be pretty good so gave it a try. The place is colorfully decorated but I'd rather have a 'dive' or 'hole in the wall' and good food and service. Service from the beginning was lacking any 'friendliness.' As though they would rather be somewhere else. Waitress who gave menus, same 'tired' and rushed look. Menu is large so needed time but was rushed to order. Carne asada was tasteless Frajitas, same thing Quite disappointed and won't be back Heard Tampico Restaurant was better and it is GREAT service...friendly and food tasted good Portions were quite ample too Going on to rate now read more

Don't bother. Food came out luke warm. Hard shell tacos had very little filling. Ordered a Bloody Mary, it was straight tomato juice. Don't waste your time. read more

Our first time visiting and it was just OK, underseasoned meats (Chicken, beef), nothing special at all! Refried beans were under seasoned as well! Being in the Military many years, we have had tried many many Mexican restaurants and this was not very good! Sorry, but not impressed!!!!! read more

Horrible service, we waited so long for our waiter to come back we just ended up leaving and not even ordering food. He never brought us our waters or pop, and they didn't come by and check at all. Won't be going back read more

Just your typical Tex-Mex food joint. I didn't come here with any kind of expectation, just a cheap lunch in a hurry. We dined at 2:00pm and there were only two other tables. The service was somewhat lacking at times which was unfortunate considering the occupancy. I ordered the Lunch #3 (bean burrito and cheese enchilada) it was bland and lousy. A friend got the fajitas which looked good and came with all fixins'. The worst part was the bathroom situation. Messy and no hot water. Enough said. read more

Food is average, nothing special. A great place to go if you needed a place for a large group.
