This place has a really nice aesthetic and a cool vibe overall. I went on a Saturday afternoon with my mom and brother, and we were seated right away since it wasn't too busy. The service was good and the waiters were friendly, which I appreciated. They also do a fire show at 7 PM on Saturdays, which sounds fun, but you have to make reservations up to two weeks in advance if you want to see it. The food was just okay. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they didn't really stand out to me. I prefer more authentic Mexican food, and this place feels pretty modern, so it didn't quite hit for me. For the price, I've had way better food at more authentic spots for a lot less. The margaritas were the best part. They were honestly amazing and definitely something I would go back for. Overall, I'd give it 3 stars. I wouldn't go here if I'm really hungry or looking for a great meal, but it's a good place to hang out, grab drinks, and maybe catch the fire show. I'd come back for the drinks and the vibe, just not the food.

Drinks were good. Food was absolute trash. The carne Asad fries taste like i ate a scoop of crisco oil. Not sure what kind of cubed meat was on top. I ordered lobster tacos, they were dry but soggy at the same time. The staff was very nice and accommodating with orders we sent back. Drinks a plus but not sure I would come back.

The staff from the hostess (Courtney), server and bartender were very nice and one of the highlights of this experience. Drinks GREAT!!! The raspberry pineapple frozen margarita was delicious . Now onto the food, the guacamole and chips were fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately the guac and chips were the best part of the meal. The carne asade fries were not good at all. Fried crispy, a bit oily, lacking flavor and the steak was chewy and flavorless. I sent them back, I was hopeful they would be good because I love fries. The tacos were Mid as well. I got chicken, lobster and shrimp tacos. None were completely eaten. The black beans were salty and bland too. I would go back for a drink and guac but that's about it for me.

Margarita was amazing but the service & overall business model makes no sense. A party of 3 come in at 4 o'clock on a saturday and you tell them its a 2 hour wait if they dont have a reservation? There were MANY parties leaving & tables opening. Host was a bit rude, bartenders seemed annoyed, and I felt very unwelcome.

Frozen margaritas
Maranda L.

Vibes inside are always cool and we were happy to be seated right away. Got a frozen blood orange margarita and a frozen watermelon margarita. I'm not a big fan of alcohol and these were yummy. The dip trio was satisfying too. Street tacos never miss but the star of the show was the carne asada tacos alambre. The melted cheese made it taste so good

Truly the worst dining experience my friends and I have EVER had. Reservation was 7:15, waiter didn't come to the table until 7:30. We all ordered the soft serve margaritas and got the chips and dips appetizer. The margaritas took 20 minutes to come out, and we do not believe there was any alcohol in them whatsoever. The resturant was beyond loud, all the tables around us had no regards for anyone and were so obnoxious. Our waiter spent an extremely long time talking with other tables around us. 8:15 and our waiter comes by to tell us the food will be out soon. 8:40 he comes with the food. Picks up one plate and drops the entire tray of food on our table. Hot oil spills on my arm. HE JUST LEAVES. Some other waitress comes and cleans it. 10 minutes later out waiter returns, lightly apologizes, and says he will get us more waters. Are u serious? Water? You're going to get us waters for your mistake and terrible service? He leaves again. 15 minutes go by and no waters. The food runner brings out our food. We ask him for silverware & waters, he tells us to ask our server. Ok asshole. At this point we are all beyond furious. I go to the hostess stand and ask to speak to the manager. I tell her we have been here over an hour with a reservation, terrible service, and he just dropped our tray of food / it got on me. She questions me and asks where im sitting. I point directly next to us at my friends, and tell her we do not want to pay for our food and we'll just go somewhere else. She says she will comp the meal and we can stay and eat if we want. We stay, at this point it's been almost 2 hours. 3 of our meals come out, not all 4. Had to grab the managers attention again to get the 4th meal remade. She also brought us water FINALLY. She was rude through interactions but did the right thing comping the meal for us and tending to us since our waiter was quite literally incompetent. Even if this didn't happen, the food was extremely dry, mid, and overpriced. DO NOT EVER DINE HERE.

The half eaten taco and empty sauce container that was packaged with our take out order.
Tyler D.

We placed a takeout order for a burrito and street taco meal from Mesa tonight... upon getting home and opening the order we find this. A half eaten taco and empty sauce container packaged with our food. When we called Mesa to let them know and how to potentially rectify the situation the girl on the phone told me that after talking to her manager "there was nothing they could do" since we placed the order through DoorDash. (Weird reason, but Ok) I told her flat out that it was f-ing disgusting finding someone else's food like this with our order(because it is,that's gross!!) and she replied "ok, well i was gonna say you can come in and we'll remake it for you." We said no, since at this point we were already home and didn't feel like going back out. Friday nights is the one night of the week my husband and i treat ourselves to dinner out, lately it's been take out since we have an almost four month old. Needless to say we were pretty annoyed by this, and also completely turned off from the way the establishment chose to handle this situation. We won't be eating at Mesa moving forward. Absolutely not, totally unacceptable answer to rectify the situation. Do not eat here.

All the proteins were seasoned incredibly well and cooked to perfection. The freshly made corn tortillas were the perfect shell for these fantastic tacos. The funky fresh marg flavors and incredibly nice service made for the ideal taco date night

Soft serve margaritas
Aaron C.

Everytime we come here the food is on point and service is great! We decided to try the new soft serve margaritas and they are amazing and a must try! This place is always a good choice for Mexican food! It's also a good choice to eat outside on a nice day!

Fajita steak

Food was honestly nasty. I have never been to a Mexican restaurant who had nasty fajitas. The only thing the was good was the elote corn. And the service was equally as horrible! My table couldn't even get a refill on water. Will not be returning

Guacamole Flight
Pallavi S.

Cool and vibrant ambiance while sitting on the patio. Fairly busy even at 9 on a Sunday evening which I liked. We got seated immediately. The service was quick. Ordered the Guacamole flight with nachos. While it was good I felt that all the three dips were just slightly different. Our Entree was Papa Loca Asada ( big potato) with chicken and that was quite yummy. The toppings were generously put and covered the potato all over and not just the top layer. My friend ordered whiskey and I was surprised to see additional $3 added per drink for just "on the rocks" . Not sure if it's a norm in few restaurants.

Beef Enchiladas Verde
Brittany L.

The ambiance is really cute, let's start there! It's Rochester though, so you expect nothing less I suppose, but the food itself was a tad underwhelming. Our waitress was THE BEST even though we were joined by the loudest party on the planet - she made sure we were heard and that she understood our orders before she left the table. One order was one of the 'freak-shakes' and it was HUGE! She devoured every sip. Definitely did not disappoint. Everything looks great, but almost all of the food had hints of spice that bordered on tongue burning and that's just not flavor, that's heat. It made enjoying some of the meal a bit more delicate than others. We did opt for some delicious crèma to help with the spice level and that helped out a lot, but overall, it's probably not a stop we'd make again simple for the prices and the lack of flavor.

Margarita Flight
Maren S.

My friend and I had dinner here tonight. We were not all that impressed right out the gate. The table tops are cracked and broken and it didn't seem all that clean. We ordered the margarita flight. The table directly next to us ordered the same thing, but their presentation was completely different. They had beautiful fall leaves and fresh cut apple and colorful straws and a flower. Our was simply our drinks. See picture attached. Little things like that might not matter to most, but to us, it's a HUGE deal. It's details like that, that would bring me back to an establishment. The sole purpose we were there was to try one of the ice cream desserts that are always advertised on Instagram. When we went to order, our waitress came back and said they were out of all ice cream. Seriously!?!? What a disappointment. All the waitress had to say was if we wanted another flight, maybe the manager would take half off. Ummmmm....like I was about to spend even more money on being disappointed.

I ordered the Chiles Rellenos Queso with a Classic Michelada, and my husband had the Tortas Ahogadas with a Paloma. Everything was delicious, the cheesy filled pepper was squeaky and came with tortillas to fill with rice and beans. It was satisfying and not overly filling, our table was clear of takeout boxes, but in saying that, we didn't have room for dessert. Service was friendly -- maybe not the quickest -- but I appreciated not feeling rushed or like they were trying to flip tables. It actually got busier the longer we stayed, even on a Wednesday night.

I don't know what kind of germs go into making the food, and trust me I get it. I've worked in kitchens that have gotten away with a TON of stuff that the customers would revolt at if ever heard. But personally, it does make me quite nauseous thinking about how many plates have been served (not just mine) with dirty gloves. Something my grandma used to say was if you find one cockroach, thats an isolated incident. If you find one cockroach, and then found another, there's probably a lot more that you don't see. Just a thought. 2/5

The people working here were so friendly and personable with literally everyone that walked in the door. The service was top notch. It is also the most adorable place giving vibes of Lamy's food counter at Henry Ford Museum. I loved all of the options on the menu and it was so hard just picking a couple items to try. We had chicken tacos. They were so good and so fresh, I loved the sauce on top. Honestly, I am not sure if it was cheese or a sour cream type mixture, but it was creamy and flavorful. I also had the torta which was absolutely incredible. It had the same chicken as the taco. The chicken was slow cooked or stewed and shredded and was so flavorful, like a homecooked chef's kiss. The bread was fresh. I loved the sauce poured over it, making it a dipped and soaked sandwich. The carrots and cilantro, sliced radishes and sliced fresh jalapenos added a level of crunch, freshness and deeper flavor profile. I would want to get this every time. We also tried their delicious "curly" fries, which were like julienned shoestring fries fired fresh. It seemed like every dish was made fresh and right in front of you. So worth it, plus the prices are great. I would love to try their fried chicken plate, their breakfast sandwiches, and their other desserts. We talked to the man behind the counter who seemed like maybe a manager. He gave us their famous chocolate chip cookie to try. It was fresh baked and delicious. I would love to take home more of those. It looked so simple but was better than many bakeries specializing in cookies alone. He also gave us an second order of fries to take home with my leftovers, just top notch kindness and service. This man told us that OWL owns other restaurants and we would probably like them. I am open to trying more of their group but I do want to return here. This is one of those diners you would find being profiled for best kept secret or gourmet home cooked foods under the guise of fast food.

I got a hot honey burrito with beans and rice and my gf got birria tacos. Also not pictured is a marg. Hot honey burrito was a lot of food! The rice is okay, a little bland and clumps together, unlike traditional Mexican fluffy rice. Refried beans are fine.

I didn't expect the tacos to have fried tortillas, but I didn't mind. The rice and beans were perfect, and the salsas were fine. This is a clearly a popular takeout spot.

I think it is nice to dine in since they give you complimentary chips & salsa and huge bottles of salsa to put on your tacos. The waiters also kept checking on us which was nice. However, the place is not that big or fancy, so I understand why people might prefer taking out. My only complaint is that the waitress who took our order gave us bottled water when we asked to start with water while we were deciding what to order, and she charged us for the bottled waters later. I feel like it's common sense to give free tap water when a customer asks to start with water without specifically asking for bottled water. Despite that, I would still return. I might just skip the water or specify that I want tap water.
