Mesquite is a desert hardwood native to the American Southwest and Mexico, highly prized for searing meats quickly. It is the defining fuel of traditional carne asada and West Texas cowboy barbecue, renowned for producing extremely hot fires and an intense, earthy, and bold smoky flavor. Here at Mesquite Desh Street Mex, you'll see the amazing plumes of smoke before you recognize their storefront. And the smell... wow. I came with a cycle classmate after class one Saturday for a breakfast burrito and let me tell you, that ended up being my only meal all day because it was insanely filling. Their standard breakfast burrito starts at $4.99 and depending on if you add meat to it, it'll be $1 extra. $5.99 for a breakfast burrito? Right on! My usual breakfast burrito spot charges nearly $9 and it's not as hefty as this burrito. I got mine with steak because how could I not at a mesquite place? I will say that you can probably pass on the chips and guacamole. The chips seem to be store bought and the guacamole comes from a squeeze bottle. For me, I like my guacamole thick. read more

You know you're in for a good time when you see the smoke plumes outside and smell the unmistakable scent of mesquite as you step out of your car. Came with two ladies for breakfast and everyone left happy. The price point is fair. It's cheaper than other places with breakfast burritos on the menu. I will say you can pass on the guacamole. Their guacamole comes from a squeezeable bottle. read more

I ordered the $39.99 family meal, which is advertised as feeding 3-4 people, perfect for my family. However, the experience didn't match what's listed on the menu. When selecting my four toppings, I chose cheese, cabbage, pico de gallo, and cilantro with onions (as shown together on the menu). I was told cilantro and onions count as separate sides, which contradicts how it's presented on their menu. It got more frustrating when I moved on to sauces. I was told the meal only includes the meat plus four total selections across both toppings and sauces..again not what the menu states. So I had to pay extra for basics like sour cream and guacamole. On top of that, they only provide one salsa of each type for a "family" meal, which is pretty stingy. You get more salsa from Filbertos and it's not pulling teeth. When I asked about what they stated and what their menu states, the manager said they've changed their menu but haven't updated it, and there was nothing they could do. That's not unacceptable, customers shouldn't be charged differently from what's advertised. This place used to be great, but now it feels like a rip-off. Poorly run location with disappointing service. read more

I'm so glad this location opened up. It's close to where I live. I love this place. Their food is delicious and made fresh to order. The spices and ingredients used are amazing. Great flavor combinations. The service was spot on. We experienced very friendly and helpful servers. Highly recommend. They often offer great deals on their app. read more

I stopped in because I received a BOGO 50% off bowl coupon in the mail and decided to give it a try. Built my own bowl with beans, greens, chicken, and lots of veggies, with everything being pretty fresh and tasty. Portions sizes are huge, so definitely worth it considering the number of actual meals that one order can get you here. Solid spot for a quick, fast-casual bite. read more

My wife had seen this place several times when in the area and kept saying we have to try it. We did! What a pleasant surprise and now that we know they are here (and have been for a few years per the employee who talked with us), we'll be coming in for take-out a bit more often! They have a big patio with tables to sit at and it appears that drive-through take out is the thing with this place. They are literally next to the car wash so there was a lot of cars moving around. Looked at other Yelp reviews while exploring their menu and wife decided on the three street tacos...all on corn tortillas. She had steak, chicken and barbacoa. All of the meats were good, tender, and flavorful and I have to say the steak was my favorite and she loved the barbacoa. The chicken was good but we thought the two beef options had better flavor. She also had rice and beans with her order. The beans were ok in both of our opinions and the rice was the same...a bit dry for our liking. I ordered the steak quesadilla supreme and because it only comes with one choice of avocado sauce or sour cream, I paid 50 cents to get the second sauce. I was hesitate about the avocado sauce but it was truly yummy and good. Not spicy at all. Again the steak was so good and tender and the quesadilla was huge! Filled with lots of meat and cheese. Overall a good experience! read more

Stopped by Friday night for some quick and delicious tacos. I love their flour tortilla street tacos. Pickled onion, sour cream, cheese, and guac sauce with their chicken is so yummy! Many protein choices. Freshly made. The staff has stabilized over the years, making it even better! Thanks! read more

I ordered here only burritos. So far, they got the most fresh and the best quality of meat that I tried all over. Also Compare to the other places I don't feel any heavy old oil taste. Number one meat for me at this place that I will highlight is the Barbacoa, I have never tried a better one than here. read more

Probably one of the top 5 worst and sloppiest breakfast burritos. Luckily the no meat version is only 5 bucks. Inside the burrito, you will find undercooked eggs, sloppy construction, under melted cheese and just a bad tasting butrito. Skip this place. read more

I came in on taco Tuesday and you can buy two tacos get one free and they also give you a bean and rice plate on top of that incredibly affordable Amazing customer service. The food was amazing. The quantity of food and quality was really, really really good. They don't really up charge for added toppings. The Horchata is really fresh and it has a very strong cinnamon flavor and it was very clean and when I came, they were very nice and greeted me with open arms. read more

Good but not great. This place was pretty slow inside for a Friday night but they do have a drive thru. The inside was clean and we walked right up to order. Friendly staff and they made our food fresh. Lots of positives, but the food was pretty bland. I thought there would be a more smokey flavor since their name is Mesquite Fresh. But it was pretty basic. Their tomatillo salsa was pretty hot. The guacamole sauce was okay. For prices comparable to other "build your own" places, they don't offer anything unique. I can think of several other places I would go to before coming here again. read more

Pro tip: Order through UberEats and you can get BOGO free chicken tacos. Highlights: I ordered the chicken tacos from here and I loved how you can customize the toppings to get all the fixings you want - they seriously load it up! Also love that they are bigger 5 inch tacos, pretty ample meat portions and option to get corn or flour tortilla. I would definitely get food from here to try more items on the menu. Lowlights: Without the BOGO, I think it's a bit expensive at $3.79/taco. The chicken was a bit on the salty side. read more

Nothing really memorable about this place what so ever. We were starving too. My husband picked up some burritos for us to try for lunch and got a carne asada for me and he had maybe the chicken and we split it. Since we were both so hungry we finished our food but definitely not a spot i would ever consider even going back to. I'm a little nervous to see if their breakfast burritos are just as mediocre. read more

I rarely order Mexican food that features chicken (I'm a pork and shrimp lover), but my daughter recommended this place. I ordered two tacos: one chicken, one barbacoa. I'm super hard to please with beef and, true to form, the barbacoa was too chewy for me. But the chicken taco was great. I returned the following Saturday and ordered two shrimp tacos and a chicken taco. The fact that I ordered a chicken taco at all tells you how great they are! The shrimp were out of the world. I expected to at least like the shrimp tacos, but I absolutely loved them. I like to eat food where it's made, and never outside, so I drove past the Val Vista location to the Gilbert and Williams Field Road location because they have a dining room. These were my first experiences at Mesquite Fresh but I'll be back again and again. I'll be a regular on Shrimp Saturday, but I'll also order chicken. It is that good! read more

I've seen this place and decided to try it out. First, the options are limited to bowls, burritos, tacos or quesadillas. I ordered the steak quesadilla and a regular sized horchata. I paid $14.50. I was thinking for this price, this is going to be a quality meal for drive thru. I was sorely mistaken. The steak quesadilla was mainly gristle. I ate maybe 1 1/2 of the 4 triangles. The horchata lacked flavor, was 90% ice. I had maybe 4 good sips and it was done. There's a reason this place is empty, it lacks quality. For the price point I wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

We finally got a chance to try this local place. Took me a minute with the name change from Mr Mesquite to Mesquite Fresh. And it happened to be Tuesday which was a definite bonus as tacos are $0.80 off on Tuesdays. We got the steak and chicken combo tacos- and they were delicious!! The meat was cooked perfectly, hot and so flavorful-with no fat (unlike Chipotle). The toppings are great too-cabbage, onion, pico, cilantro, green and red salsa, pickled or raw onion, guacamole sauce and sour cream (and they're NOT extra!). Fresh juicy limes (super rare!), really flavorful rice, & good beans. I'm not easily I'm impressed, and this was such a great meal! We will definitely be back! And-they have a drive thru!! So happy to find this place!! read more

This place is just ok. At 5 o'clock it was completely empty, which should have been an indication. The kid who helped us was friendly, but not very on top of his game. My wife mentioned it was taco Tuesday, he said he had forgotten it was Tuesday. Even after that, he didn't honor the taco Tuesday special of $0.80 per taco; pretty disappointing. As I examined the receipt, I noticed he charged us for chips and guac even though we never asked for them. Only after I mentioned it did he even offer to get them for us. Sketchy! The tacos were just ok, certainly not worth going out of your way for. We won't be back. read more

Yelp'd breakfast burritos and found this place. Reviews were good so we decided to give it a try. Walked in , no one else in the lobby or line, staff was working on what appeared to go orders, so we waited patiently, and waited and waited. During this no one acknowledged us, not a smile, not a "we will be right with you", nothing. We had enough time to decide on somewhere else to eat and left. read more

First time at Mr. Mesquite. The manager/cook took my drive through order. I ordered a carne asada quesadilla with a side of salsa. He said he was going to give me a couple of different salsas and guacamole, since I was a new customer. Once I paid for my food I looked for the first available place to park, so I could try it. Let me just say the quesadilla never made it home. One of the best quesadillas ever had. There was so much cheese and carne asada, not an ounce of dry tortilla. The quesadilla had the perfect amount of crispness. I even ate 1/2 of the quesadilla without any salsa or guacamole. The meat was perfectly seasoned. I will definitely go back read more

Local spot for us, order online and pickup through a drive thru, super convenient. The most friendly staff I have encountered at a fast casual spot. Tacos are awesome! Love them.

The wife and I finally remember to come check out this spot. I was getting gas at Frys one day and wondered what the huge line and crowd was at this restaurant. I asked and someone told me what it was and it was the grand opening. They also said it was pretty good and popular. I got home and told my wife and put it on our list of places to eat at. Let me tell you, the only bad thing I can say is that we waited FAR TOO LONG to come eat here. This place is awesome. Food was very flavorful and tasty. The inside was nice and clean and so was the outside. Really nice to see. I've been some places that are not allowing Dine-In service and the inside is filthy. Nice to see they keep theirs in tip top shape. All the staff were awesome. Told them it was our first time trying it out and they took care of us. Amer was great. Very good customer service and actually cared about his customers. Didn't find out until we left that he was a manager. Makes sense. He deserves it. Doing a great job. All the staff we encountered are doing a fantastic job. Thanks a bunch, Amer. Thanks for taking care of us and making the experience a great one. Will definitely be back. That food is too good. read more

Always down to try a taco at someplace different. Ordered a chicken street taco. Loaded, on a corn tortilla. $2.99 for the taco. The taco had a good amount of chicken on it and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The pico was well prepared too,finely chopped tomato and onion, not too wet and again, a good amount on the taco. I definitely recommend the restaurant and will stop again! read more

Absolutely amazing. I first fell in love with mr mesquite years ago from their scottsdale location and was so excited to find out they opened a located near home! The quality & taste of their steak meat is out of this world! Plus, their generous portions make it an easy sell whenever we want an easy night and choose takeout! We tried their box this past week, and wow!! Such a great value and fills a family of 5! Will definitely be getting this more often! read more

Love love love this place!! I used to go to the one on Mill ave all of the time when I lived in Tempe and when I saw they were building one in Gilbert I got so excited! They've only been open for a week and I've already been here 3 times. They have a drive thru which is super convenient because it's hard to find a legit taco place with a drive thru! I am an Arizona native and I know my tacos :) They also know what they are doing as far as training because all of the employees I have encountered have shown PHENOMENAL customer service which is super important to me! If you're on the fence about trying a place, don't be, Mr Mesquite is amazing! Make sure to ask for limes and the green mild salsa when you go. read more

I have been to multiple Authentic Mexican Food Restaurants. This establishment by far has been my overall favorite one. They have outstanding customer service, real easy menu, and over all a great attitude when serving me and my families meal. The Establishment was very well taken care of, we sat down to enjoy our food, the owner came over, asked us how was our food, and handed us coupons for free tacos ! What more can I say!

Ordered pick up. We ordered 3 tacos, quesadilla, chips and salsa, side order or rice. They had only prepared 2 tacos when I arrived. So they prepared another taco and put it in a big Styrofoam box, guess what the taco looked like when I got home... All over the box, it didn't even resemble a taco. Half way home I realized that they did not give me my chips and salsa. So I turned around to get my chips and salsa. The portion of chips and salsa didn't make it worthwhile to go back for it. Then my wife found a chicken bone in the quesadilla. I have pictures of the appearance of the taco and the chicken bone. read more

I saw this place a few times driving by. I stopped in on a whim and gave it a try. First time was so good. There is something about meat being grilled over charcoal.
