alante williams @ the bar was great. Hung out and kept is company. great drinks and the Mesa Salad was dreat.

We went yesterday for the 1st time. We live over here and been by it many times, but reviews were mixed! This is not authentic Mexican, it is Latin, with some Mexican dishes. We went because of the Paella and it did not disappoint. We also got street corn which was good. For an appetizer, we did the 3 salsa picks. Went with guac., queso and reg. salsa. All 3 were great! We will definitely be back. Price was moderate, but we surely were fool with a take out bag to go. read more

Introducing the Biggie Birria Taco -- truly larger than my face. This show-stopper @mesalittleton has redefined Taco Tuesday: normally $28, now available for $18 on Taco Tuesday. Add a 16 oz draft for $5 or a Mystery Mezcal Shot for $5. Note: the Biggie Birria Taco is currently offered only during Taco Tuesday. Mesa Latin Kitchen showcases popular cuisines from across Latin America. We also sampled their Spring Menu: the Peruvian Brick Chicken was remarkably moist and delicious, the shrimp with green chile mole was richly flavored, and the sweet plantains were a delightful finish. Consistently excellent food and service made the experience a joy. read more

Julia was a great server with awesome recommendations. She was attentive and so sweet. The restaurant is clean and modern. The food had hearty meat portions however a little bland in flavor. They had a hot sauce from CA on the table that everyone ended up really liking and ordering off Amazon. read more

What a wonderful surprise! The inside is comfortable, warm and inviting. Also, not only was the house margarita amazing and the food delicious, the staff were so welcoming and friendly! Laura, behind the bar, provided great recommendations which I enjoyed very much and she took great care of me! I plan to take my husband and kids back soon! I also love that this is not just your standard Mexican restaurant - for example, they have Peruvian chicken! read more

Yelp always has our back when it comes to wanting something specific while wanting to check out a new place. Mesa Latin Kitchen has great reviews and is pretty close to us. Already starting out right. We sat at the bar and didn't wait, despite it being a busy Friday night. I ordered their Serrano margarita and later a whiskey sour. Both were really well balanced and quite tasty. Our bartender was great and checked on us often. Appreciate the attentiveness. For entrees, I went with their chicken enchiladas with salsa verde sauce. This might be one of the best enchilada plates I've had in a long while. The flavors were so well balanced - nothing overpowered the chicken but yet the salsa verde was still a bright spot and left me wanting another bite. Loved this. His meal looked amazing also and he definitely didn't have complaints. His carnitas tacos were packed with meat, something that stands out among meals and wow, the flavors here were also spot on. We each ordered a different side and had nothing but praise for these as well: my corn equites was so good - authentic and flavorful and his nopales and mushrooms were amazing. I felt like we were back in Monterrey. So good. So, we had five cocktails between us with two entrees and our bill was still right below 100. Not bad. We will def be back, maybe today! read more

This place checks out for several different things: cleanliness, service and food. I was between shifts in the very neighborhood. I needed to write a report for the first shift I had completed before I went here. I sure was hungry, hungry for a decent/good food. Before my dining experience yesterday, I had seen this place before several times. It's time that I tried it for the first time. Once I am inside, I asked for a high-top table seating near the bar. Male and female workers said it's an open seating so I proceeded to grab a two-person table. This high-top area is great. It's away from the main dining area for larger groups. I only saw a few tables occupied. The bar was still quiet for the night (as the time was around 5:15pm or so.) Let's talk about attentiveness. A few different male workers were so attentive. After the menu had been placed, they (separately) came to me and ensured that if I had any questions or was ready to order. This attentiveness went on throughout the entire stay of mine. I went with the Ceviche ($18). Good portion size with tortilla and plantain chips everywhere. The Ceviche part had plenty of shrimp and Mahi Mahi in it. This plate filled me up. This plate easily gets split between a few to several people. Nice appetizer to start your night. Next time I dine here, I will go with the tacos. You can order as small as 1 to several. I like that flexibility. Enjoyed this restaurant! read more

PERFECTION IN ALL DEGREES!! Where do I start reviewing a wonderful afternoon at Mesa Latin & Mexican Kitchen!! Karyn!! There cannot be a more personable & pleasant person to assist me through my meal, introducing to the restaurant and all its features! From the Art through my food order; amazingly picking up on my food preferences! This is a talent!! The ambiance at Mesa Latin Kitchen is expansive and full of South American Art; a trip to El Salvador ~ South America, where Brevin and his his father, the creators and owners. This is a family owned traveling back 60 years to Brevin's grandmother; the recipes, style, thought threw layout and The FOOD is Devine. Here is a place to expand your tastebuds and experience the fair of Latin - Mexican food, in perfection. Plenty of parking, no worries!! When entering this art filled establishment, I was greeted with smiles and "what is your desire!" Great start in having customers feeling "Welcomed!" I was shown the extensive lounge & bar area, which the patio wraps around - all beautifully furnished and decor; as we walked into the expanding dinning room with full windows facing west, a view of the Rocky Mountains - serenity past the bustling city! In awe I had to stop feasting my eyes, captured by the artwork and varying areas to sit comfortably. Additionally, there is a private room for parties with a huge full walled mural. This area is also facing the mountains with open artful walled privacy, seating 36. Fashioning Mesa Latin encompassed great planning. And YES!! The food! Karyn assisted me through the menues where I had plenty of questions. Having a love for Latin/Mexican fare I love Avocado. The Tacos themselves are cooked to a perfection of "crip," then comes the sensational creamed Avacado laced with Pineapple Pico de Galio, Cabbage, Guacamole & Diced Avocado. The crips texture and silken smooth avacado is sensational, adding my love for Plantains! WOW!! The outside was delicately crisped with a soft silky Plantain inside a topped with some slightly sour cream, beautifully presented on puree style refried beans which were perfectly seasoned to augment the Plantain flavors! Pretty Eyes loves the puree to my astonishment. A perfect late afternoon after a harried day indeed. PS: Owners of Lake House, do visit both! read more

Wanted to try this place for restaurant week. Was pretty excited to see their menu. Started off with a Mezcalita this was the first disappointment. Not sure I've ever had a smaller drink that wasn't considered a shot. Tiny cup with a huge ice cube which left room for a very little else. Next problem was the fact that the kitchen was so backed up that we waited way too long for our meals. Started with the sweet plantains. The plantains were good, but did not go well with the beans that they were on. Eventually, we got our main course, which was beef burria quesotacos. I will definitely say these were tasty. Unfortunately, not tasty enough to make up for the wait and the disappointing drink. I do have to give credit to our waiter, who was definitely trying his best to get food to us and apologized often. Just not what I had hoped for. read more

Came here for a birthday & let me just say, I'm incredibly impressed with the staff here. We ordered quite a bit of food and it came out one by one and it was a little odd but it was fast so I didn't think much of it. Immediately someone came up to us and comped and bean dip because it didn't all come out together- already impressed. The bean dip itself was fine but not super flavorful. Then when my tacos came, there was an extra taco on my plate but they said don't worry about it and they wouldn't charge me for it- okay nice. Then I got flautas and found a hair In them- which I was not particularly happy about. They immediately comped all of my tacos, my mom's drink, the flautas, and gave us two gift cards. They apologized profusely and really made up for the experience. Although I was disappointed about the hair since the flautas were really tasty, how they handled everything was beyond impressive. Plus there was live music which was fantastic. Not too often you can get hair in your food and still write a 4 star review. Thanks again! read more

I recently moved nearby and when I heard that they were owned by the company who owns The Lake House, I decided to try it. My friend met me for an early lunch recently. We were seated promptly by a friendly hostess and shortly our server, Vince, arrived. There is ample room for diners as well as seats at the bar. The menu did not offer many selections, however, that helped us decide quickly. My friend ordered 2 tacos and I ordered the Mesa burrito which came with a side. Both dishes were delicious, served hot and more than enough, we both had enough to take home. I am certain that I will return and try something else. read more

We ordered the chicken Mexican pizza, salad, vegetarian street tacos, chicken street tacos--everything was absolutely delicious and genuinely impressive. Each dish was well-executed, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Our waiter, Benson, provided exceptional, personable service that made the experience even better. Attentive without being intrusive and clearly proud of the food and the restaurant. This is officially our new favorite local restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

Food is awesome and 90% is GLUTEN free. Even the CHURROS. Service is great as well, haven't found anything we don't like and we've tried most of the menu. And don't forget the Plantains out of this word tasty. If you can get there in time for Happy Hour, their food specials are priced right and sized to please. read more

The food was incredible. We started off with their guacamole and chips as an appetizer and it was all on point. Nothing extraordinary necessarily, but a good opening. I had the Birria Quesatacos and my wife had a trio of tacos: pollo al pastor, steak and carnitas. I had a couple of bites off her tacos and they were good. But I focused on my own plate because those were easily the best birria tacos I've had in years. The meat was juicy and tender and the flavors were exceptional. The cilantro and onion were just the right amount to enhance the taco without distracting from the overall flavor and texture. The ambiance was nice enough - good music and clean. It was crowded and fairly noisy so if you're looking for quiet and intimate you might consider getting your food to go. The service was excellent and all the employees were extremely friendly and welcoming. read more

I don't venture to the suburbs much, but made an exception since this the same chef that owns the place on the lake down the parking lot from here. I had a feeling it would be worth the drive from downtown Denver. I'm so glad I tried this place, and I'm sure the local residents will appreciate Latin cuisine in their neighborhood. I was blown away by the interior decor and the atmosphere, something new and diffident to the neighborhood. The service was outstanding and very welcoming. The food was amazing too. We had a verbiage of dishes, all being delicious. We had several dishes including Pollo Pastor Tlayudas (Original Mexican Pizza) and Paula Dinner for Two, both highly recommended. I need to go back now that I thought about this place writing this belated review. read more

Is this authentic Mexican food? No! But is it still delicious and hits the spot, yes!! I came here for the first time and was impressed with the food. Everything came out quickly and each dish was tasty. I didn't love their guacamole, it tasted more like the frozen guacamole from Costco, but the smoky chipotle salsa was a must try!!! The elote I would also highly highly recommend. The restaurant was spacious, they accept reservations and everyone who helped us was friendly and attentive. read more

Tacos are delicious! Corn dip was a little underwhelming this time but delicious the previous time I've had it. The spicy margaritas and the egg white margaritas are fantastically prepared!

We went about a month ago and first ordered some cocktails. Two of us ordered the same drink. The strange thing was there are no taste just Soda water. That drink supposed to have gin and tonic water ; so I told a waiter there is No taste at all but he insisted that there are gin and water??? Anyway he refused to bring new ones and we are not going back read more

We came in for a quick brunch and ended up hanging out for a while. Blake was entertaining and inviting. She is the perfect person to have behind the bar. She gives great food suggestions. We will be back for the atmosphere, the food, the margaritas, and definitely for BLAKE. Mesa is definitely going to be a regular place for us. read more

Stopped here during restaurant week! Being gluten free, it was still easy to navigate the shortened menu. Started with the pozole de pollo - yum! Follow by mahi mahi tacos with a side of cactus/mushrooms. The mahi was cooked very well but the tortillas were siting in the juice of the cactus/mushrooms that made them soggy :( As for dessert, delicious GF tres leches cake ! And chocolate mousse! No pictures this time because we were so hungry. Overall, great experience. read more

I came in really not expecting much but left pleasantly surprised. I went on a Tuesday afternoon during their happy hour. It was Taco Tuesday so I got 3 of their tacos. Where some places offer you too little meat, this was the opposite, you can easily make 2 tacos out of one! Their spicy margarita was delicious and I also need to make a special shoutout to their Churro desert, they were soo good! Definitely a place to check out if you're in the area, especially during their happy hour! read more

Food: 4.5 stars Some of the meat portions are extremely small especially with their fajitas, but flavors are great. Bar & serving staff-4 stars They are usually pretty strong and attentive. The one bar lady that works there is really strong even when they have a packed bar. The General manager-1 star This guy is rude and just bad. He has absolutely no customer service skills. Kitchen-3 stars They make delicious food, but are extremely slow. It doesn't matter if they are busy or not, 40-60 minutes to get your food after you place your order is not uncommon. My biggest feedback is that they need to have a consistent hostess or someone who is able to provide appropriate wait times as you are going to wait even when you are seated. We continue to go back because of the food, but definitely don't go back as often as we would do to how long it takes to get food as well as due to the manager. read more

My husband and I love Mesa! The experience, food, cocktails are fabulous! We love that's the outdoor seating allows space enough for private conversations but easy enough for the amazing customer service. We are a frequent of their other sister company, Lake House but have preferred this based on food options (I don't eat meat) & drink options! read more

Favorite Mexican spot in town! They have a vast menu and do it all very very well! The tacos are my favorite to mix and match and they do a very good spicy margarita. We almost always start with the dip trio and love their tomatillo avocado salsa. The inside of the restaurant is warm and inviting and we can always walk in and get a table without any trouble. Service is great even when they are busy! read more

Ambiance- got better after we relocated. Every wait person yelled as they approached our table. Something about the kitchen door being a single for both in and out. One wonders, with a 5:00 PM reservation and lots of empty booths, why would they sit us there, of all places. Even after the move it was still loud. Then the drinks took forever. Isn't Piaya (Sp) supposed to be a seafood dish? I dont remember sausage, pork and chicken at all. We wanted an experience, and got one. read more

Had lunch at Mesa Latin and boy this was a total hit! Very excited to give the dips and chip a try since we don't have a ton of black bean dip options in Colorado. These were great! Though admittedly the star were the chips in the situation, very fresh and perfect amount of salt. The flautas were super crispy and had great flavor with the toppings and black beans. The Peruvian brick chicken takes 25 minutes but IT WAS WORTH IT! The chicken was so nicely blackened and tasted great. The patatas bravas on the side were so tasty with a nice smoke flavor. Wait staff was very nice and we had someone stopping at our table to check in regularly, not just our waiter. Overall a great option if you're in Littleton! read more

Alante our bartender was amazing. Makes the best drinks great atmosphere amazing drinks and awesome service and food.

The price for the food just wasn't worth it for us. The place looks nice for a date night, but the food was a miss. They are trying to do too much with the tacos, and the flavors are all over the place and super bland. I want a punch of flavor flavor from Latin food! We also got churros for dessert and the first time we ordered, they came out within 30 seconds and were hard and stale like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp. We returned them. The second time they were piping hot fresh from the fryer but still raw in the middle. I'd say it has potential, but I'm not quite sure. It seems quite par for course in Littleton. I was excited to see tlayudas on the menu (although I think they may call them something else) so we might try those instead of tacos. I'm curious to see if other menu items are better considering some of the glowing reviews. read more

The perfect combo of neighborhood Latin Mexican with zero pretension...just friendly, welcoming vibes all around. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu. What I ordered: Mesa ceviche (with coconut milk!), chicken nachos (stacked!), chile relleno, Spanish risotto and shrimp, tres leches horchata cake, churros. For drinks: mango chamoyada margarita, Jamaica (hibiscus), and a house marg. Best bites: Honestly, everything was fantastic, but a few stood out: * Chicken nachos: PSA! nachos should always be stacked and always have queso (none of that shredded cheese). These hit both marks and were so so so delicious. * Chile relleno: I wasn't a big fan of chile rellenos growing up (my mom loved making them), but these were amazing! I'd totally order them again (sorry, mom!), and they're only $12 on Thursdays! * Spanish risotto and shrimp: I'd never had Spanish risotto, so it was exciting to try something familiar with a different flavor profile. The risotto was great, but the shrimp? Grilled to perfection! * Horchata tres leches cake: It's gluten-free, and I found that out after I ate it because I couldn't tell! The flavor was incredible and it is definitely in my top 3 tres leches cakes ever. read more

We had an amazing first experience at Mesa! Alonte in the open bar seating area made all the difference with his service and recommendations. Food, seating and drinks were fantastic!
