A little bit of everything!
Andy L.

As usual when I check out a new place I stopped into Mesa right at 11am on a Saturday just after they opened up for the day. You pay up front, which is nice. I declined the tip when asked by the machine because I always tip at the table. Tipping BEFORE your service seems ridiculous to me. Nice place, clean, bright and rather open seating. Tons of delicious food options. Pork, chicken, seafood, stews, different rices, veggies and a nice dessert bar too! I was recommended this place from a coworker and I'm glad he did. They refilled my soda when needed and took away my stack of plates when I was done, to me their service was great and good enough. There's a debate whether the food at Mesa is Dominican or Puerto Rican or a mixture of both. I'm not Hispanic so I couldn't really tell you.....but what I can tell you is that it was all delicious and I definitely will be back and can personally recommend stopping by there.

Had not been here in years. Was looking for a place while on the areas that had carribean food. This restaurant meet the requirements. Conveniently located in a large shopping center with plenty of parking located in front of restaurant. The restaurant is a lot larger than it appears on the outside. Our server was very nice even though there were a few times I needed to use my very elementary spanish or google translate to ask for things. The meal was reasonably prices for a lunch buffet. Tons of food and dessert options to choose from. We had a good fining experience snd would ho again if in the area.

An interesting spot in the heart of Springfield. Been here a couple times now. The service is decent, although sometimes hard to communicate with the staff. The food is pretty good, they have a large variety of authentic dishes. Pretty typical buffet style spot, could use some updates to the decor and seating. Overall not bad.

Mmmmm so yummy food assortment. Lol

When I'm craving something yummy where I may choose a wide variety of flavorful Dominican food, i come here. I always get sleepy after eating here because I'm very satisfied with the choices of flavorful food and the friendly staff.

Stopped by on a Sunday early evening and this place was BUSY! We waited over 20 minutes to pay and be seated. There were so many families having a great time. The food is buffet style. You have to sanitize your hands and wear gloves to serve yourself food. You pay and you're seated. The food was very delicious. There was a wide assortment of food and definitely something for everyone. The servers were on the slow side to bring beverages and clear tables but we know there is a current shortage of employees. Be patient and be nice!

Took myself here from Connecticut on a little self date I like Spanish food as I am not Latino at all. I think a Spanish buffet is a dope idea. Food was 7.5/10 Their lemonade in plastic jar was good!

This is another spot that in the cut (strip mall) there use to be a chinese but there, but they closed down and was replaced by the latin (mexican) buffet. the food is great, the staff is friendly and the cost ( $23) is great for the amount of latin food that is offered and I would highly recommend this place.

If you are going to do a buffet in the Springfield area, this is the place. I actually haven't been for a while but Mesa came up the other day when I was chatting with family about where to get fried cheese. We LOVE this place. Keep in mind it caters to families so maybe not a fancy date place, but definitely a meet your friends, eat well, and blow your calorie budget place.

I'm going to say 3 1/2 stars. Exciting to see the only buffet of it's kind in the area featuring Hispanic food. The location was formerly an outdated Chinese restaurant and the new owners have renovated it into a tastefully decorated and comfortable buffet in a clean and inviting atmosphere. There were some good points and points that I felt needed improvement. Good Points: A very good price point for the value of all you can eat. A big variety of Spanish food including empanadas, rellenos (potato balls), roasted pork, soups, all kinds of rice, beans, malanga, yucca and a variety of meats and sides, including some American style sides like wings and mac n cheese. The sorullos de maiz were my favorite, yummy.The fresh fruit looks beautiful and there is a wide variety of desserts served in small portions so that you can try many things. Friendly staff. Points for improvement: Dirty plates sat on the table for an extended time before picked up. That seemed to be the trend looking around at other tables. Meats that are normally served crunchy like the fried pork (chicharrones) were soft/soggy and not crunchy. It also would be great if foods were labeled. For someone who would like to try Spanish food this buffet gives them the opportunity to try many different items. I think with a few adjustments I can raise my review stars. I'll visit again in the future. Best of all, I'm happy to see the foods of our culture being enjoyed in a restaurant that you can be proud to sit in. I wish this family tons and tons of success.

I went on a Saturday during lunchtime, and I was blown away with the crazy amounts of people coming in. Service was absolutely amazing. Every worker was super friendly.

They have so many choices of authentic Puerto Rican food. This place is 2 hours away from my house but I guarantee you I'll be coming here quite often. They have seating but like I said first come first serve. Get in here before any rush hours and you'll be ok. They have a great amount of breads as well as Spanish pastries. The amount of food you get for what you pay is crazy. I ordered rice and lentils, with red beans, and roasted pork. It was literally enough for lunch and dinner or two people. This was dine in, not sure how much you get for takeout. Smart me I ordered my kids there own meal which had to be taken home as well. This is a definite go-to spot for Puerto Rican food. The location isn't in the best of towns, but everyone there was friendly and there to chow down.

My sister told me to try this place for the "bacalao con verduras" which is a plate we grew up on…read moregrowing up. It's salted cod fish with starchy root vegetables like yucca, malanga (taro) and boiled green bananas (not plantains). I'll admit it's an acquired taste. Los Bravos is a small restaurant with a modest amount of seating, very tight parking and a very friendly staff. Food is on display in a hot cafeteria style setting. Very clean. You can see into kitchen too and it was clean. Muy importante! There were a few families eating inside and their eye catching plates came fresh out of the kitchen stacked high and with care. They were out of the 'bacalao guisado' that I wanted so I had to settle for a cold cod salad style. It was still tasty. The medium plate cost $8 and was a very generous serving. Knowing from experience how much work it is to peel those tough starchy vegetables and how much they cost, I think it was a great value. It was certainly enough to share or save for a second meal. Another hot box had the "frituras" which are all of our fried goodies. I bought a "relleno de papa" which is a soft ball size fried mashed potato ball, filled with seasoned ground beef. It was good. Perhaps a tiny tiny bit over salted but negligible and seemingly made of the instant potatoes which is not that uncommon. My dad used the instant at his restaurant 'back in the day' only because the potato balls seem to stay together better during frying. There was a cold box where flan and other desserts were on display along with the cold salads of octopus "pulpo", the cod fish and escabeche. The cashier gave me their card and told me about the different kind of sandwiches and mofongo they offer. She also told me that anything could be called in ahead to be ready for pick up. Open 7 days a week. Oh, please don't worry about a language barrier. I speak Spanish but until the cashiers English was perfect. All the Puerto Rican special soda and drinks were available. I'm giving Los Bravos 3 stars until I try other items on the menu. I definitely want to return and try some of their other dishes and also have a hunch that I may need to bump it up a star----but for me that will depend on the rice and roast pork! Buen provecho!

I have tried other places in the area for Spanish food but it was my first time here. It was a good…read morething that i have been to places like Fernandez in Holyoke because their menu here was totally in Spanish, so i knew what to order. All their choices are visible to you at the counter, so you can basically point to what you want if their is a language barrier. I chose Spanish pork along with rice and beans. Pork was a little dry and not very flavorful as i have been accustomed to in the past with Spanish pork. Rice and beans were average. I should warn others who may try this place that the oversize jars that they keep on table, which are full of garlic, peppers, oil, is very spicy. I was having a heck of time getting oil to come out of jar, and decided to take stopper out and pour oil on top of pork. " Two bottles of water please, to go"

Saw this place one day when I was driving down Broadway in Chicopee one day. (it is front of…read moreMillie's Pierogis) I decided to stop in and give it a taste. Upon entering- you notice most how clean everything looks. This is awesome because us Latinos/as eat with our eyes. At first when I came I thought it was Puerto Rican food. Then I saw the Chivo (goat) on the menu board and heard the calming bachata music on the tv on the wall and I thought to ask the owner if this was Dominican food. It turns out it is Dominican food with a touch of Puerto Rican dishes! The best of both worlds! Additionally- the food is not set up cafeteria style like a lot of Spanish restaurants- The food is under heat lamps behind the counter. For some people that's off putting because they assume it's not fresh or tastes like it is has been sitting under the lamps for days - not so! Everything is fresh and amazing! They have all the classics; yellow rice and gandules, white rice, habichuelas rosada, pernil, baked chicken. They have quite a few of guisadas (stews) to pick from all loaded with onions, peppers etc; chicken, pork, beef, oxtail, as well as viandes. They have empanadas, alcapurrias, sorrullitos de maiz, rellenos de papa (potato balls) in a smaller case. My favorite is the goat aka the Chivo. It is so fall apart tender -I've had it three times already! The young gentleman behind the counter has always waited on me. He is super polite, quick to smile and humors my bad Spanglish with none of the pretentious ways that I have experienced in other Spanish restaurants. This is really important to me because it tells me of the love that they have for their food and the respect that they have for their customers. I've come in on different times of day and the food is always fresh tasting. Prices are very reasonable for the portions. During this last visit my husband had their pasteles. Oh so good! They also had sancocho. - I've asked the owners and they said that their business is steadily picking up. They are working on getting money for advertising. Most of their traffic comes from word of mouth There is another Spanish restaurant in Chicopee that has a similar name-(Sabor Latino) -but I very much feel that the cooking style are night and day. No insult is meant to Sabor as they really are two different types of food in my humble opinion. I really hope this small business owner is able to make it. Latino(a) restaurants turn over a lot in Western Mass. I hope this one stays!

We were seated quickly, our drink order taken, and off to the buffet. There's quite a variety to choose from! I tried the general tso, boneless spare ribs, chicken wrapped in bacon, pork fried rice, chicken teriyaki, fried chicken wing, and a couple pieces of sushi roll. There was quite a bit of seafood that I didn't get to (didn't see that station). I'll agree with some of the other comments on yelp in that the food on the buffet was not that hot. That said, I thought that is seemed very fresh. I liked everything that I tried with the exception of the fried rice which I thought was very bland. There was lo mein as well, if i go back I'll give that a try. I don't eat enough to get the $18 worth out of a buffet, but I do like that I can have a bite of a number of different things without committing to a whole order of 1 thing.
