I stopped by Mesquite Fresh Street Mex for an early dinner on a Sunday. Located in North Scottsdale, Mesquite shares the same shopping center with several other businesses including Harkins. It's a busy complimentary parking lot, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (1.5/5): One big problem with my experience. I visited in July which as we all know is very hot in Phoenix. It was quite hot inside. When I checked the thermostat on the wall, it said 80 degrees. What the heck?! Either they're trying to pinch pennies or something was wrong with the A/C. Regardless, no explanation was given. Outside of a toasty restaurant, Mesquite looks like your typical fast casual restaurant. Service (3.5/5): You order at the counter and they prepare your food right then and there. Ordering and paying was a seamless experience. Not terribly friendly but service isn't a big part of the experience. Drinks (3.5/5): I went with one of their fresh lemonades which I'm always about. They also have smoothies, but they're a bit pricey. So I went with the more affordable choice. Outside of that, your typical soft drinks. Food (3/5): I went with a couple of tacos to get a good variety (steak, chicken, and barbacoa). For some meats, including the steak and chicken, you have to pay an upcharge. They have a good number of sauces to choose from including salsas, sour cream, etc. I went with a nice variety here too. Plus some chips and queso. Overall, the food is pretty solid. The meats are mesquite grilled which gives them a bit of a smoky flavor. If you order three or more tacos, you get rice and beans for free. Score! While Mesquite has some kinks to work out, my meal was solid. They have a special Taco Tuesday deal if you're looking for a discount. read more

Looks like it could've been great. However, the Carne Asada was cooked well done in huge quantities hours before we ate so it ends up being tough, dry and not hot Their guacamole is not guacamole. It's some sort of guacamole sauce then down with some liquid. I would gladly have paid much more to have real maiden house guacamole Too bad they can't cook small quantities to order read more

This place should have a 5 star rating!!! The bowls are fresh and meat is very tender. read more

We were in the area and thought we'd give it a try. Chips and salsa are extra which is a downer for me. I love chips and salsa but understand this is "street food" and not a sit down. I got the steak and barbacoa tacos and my wife got chicken. She liked them and mine were good. The barbacoa probably was more flavorful. The hot/red salsa was no joke. Pretty spicy. The salsa that came with the chips is hard to describe. Not sure if it was a high vinegar or if they infused it with CO2. It hit my tongue hard as soon as it was in my mouth and didn't have a great flavor. I'd rate them 4 or 5 stars but the salsas just were a let down and didn't have a good taste. Not sure if we'd be back. read more

Sometimes I hop on Yelp when I'm hungry and search spots local to me and try them out if the reviews/photos look good. I ordered a steak quesadilla over the phone and it was ready in less than 15 min. I drove over and picked up my order....it's a small, clean establishment with seating. I loved the service! The lady that helped me at the register made sure I had everything before I walked out. I was very pleased with my order, the quesadilla was big enough to share. I enjoyed every bite and I look forward to trying more of their menu items. read more

I used to live in LA & San Diego so I have been to alot of Mexican restaurants. This is a really nice one in my view. I like the look and ambience. I've been 3x and really enjoyed the cheese, bean and steak burritos. The former is only $6 while the latter is double that but both worth it and very large close to 2 meals worth of food. My corn tortilla steak soft taco was also excellent. Service is fast and professional. I subtract a star for very small seating area and awkward layout. I like to do takeout here. Recommended. read more

It's good but ordering a to-go order, they need to separate the sauce and topping, made the taco really soggy when food was delivered.

It's ok customer service is great nothing to write home about. Nice and clean place. When you walk in they immediately say hi and help you probably because it was super empty. If I had no other choice I would choose this place but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

Always good, fresh ingredients! And they never skimp!! It's always filled to the brim!! Or in this case, I got a burrito for national burrito day. It was half price and it weighed a ton. Sooooo good!!! I most always do take-out, but they do have several tables inside and out to eat at. read more

Decent tacos, friendly service and a clean interior makes Mesquite a decent option after going to the Harkin's 101 next door. Located in a busy plaza, Mesquite was easily overlooked, but much better than most of the surrounding areas. The patio was a bit basic-- add some decor or comfier seating and I'll eat here again. read more

Pretty decent local chain, but this location does not measure up. First off, its very small compared to newer ones that have gone up in East Valley. The proteins lacked flavor and the steak was charcoal. My burrito tortilla was overcooked and broke apart when I ate it. The "guac" is not real guac, but some water downed sauce concoction that comes out of a squeeze bottle. Service was pretty good, but we will not be returning to this location. read more

Fantastic, quick and soooo delicious. Went here with the family on a Friday evening. We had the mixed burrito, protein bowl and quesadilla. And oh man was it good. The meat, chicken and steak were grilled to perfection. the flavor and even though simple was simply delicious. Our 3 year old ate the entire serving and loved the jamaica. We will definitely be back here. read more

I had Mesquite for the 1st time today. There are 10 locations in ARIZONA. How have I not been here until now?! The Manager of 4 years at the Mayo location- Rosendo was so welcoming and informative about the company, owners and food. I had 2 steak tacos with fresh pico, cheese, cilantro, and sour cream on a corn tortilla add lime. 2 tacos for me was plenty because, I had a big breakfast earlier. I didn't get a plate but, next time I will. If you are a blood donor and have your paperwork as proof, you will get free tacos! I am recruiting o positive blood donors for a friend in need and thought that this was really admirable. Even though the postcards say 2/2-2/12 Rosendo says that this is an ongoing campaign for all 10 locations. This is my new spot for lunch off of Mayo right by Taglio salon. It is fresh, healthy and. so much more a better option than all of the fast food chains in the shopping complex. Taco Tuesday... can be anyday! read more

Great street taco joint! Quite the find; I'm so glad these have become a staple! Give them a try, you won't regret it!

I ordered a " chicken breakfast burrito " for breakfast this morning. I understand this place serves up open flame meats and it's a hit from the reviews ... BUT the breakfast burrito is lacking hardcore . The tortilla is massive and they minimally filled it up tortilla had a flap over the top just loosely sitting . It was mostly just chicken ... got half way through the burrito and started to notice sprinkles of eggs and potato and didn't notice a presence of cheese what so ever ... The salsa is decent the red is HOT which I love got the lips hot and a good sweat. The green I wanted more from was pretty basic but not bad . All in all for $9.19 I'll skip this place for a breakfast burrito and go to " Bertos" around the valley and pay the same If not less and get double the size of this burrito . read more

Went there with my spouse tonight - took 2 street tacos (1 chicken + 1 steak) and my wife 2 steak tacos. Very generous portions and tasty for a reasonable price. I recommend as the food is far better than Chipotle. Not a fancy place but good food (perfect for to go orders). I recommend. read more

Really good. Hot. Tasty. Clean Fast Lunch room style Almost too fast :), know what you want, before you start ordering. 2 small critiques: They were out of veggies and I didn't want to wait for more to be cooked. That's literally what i came in to order. It was 2pm and after the lunch rush. So, i understand why they were out. It was very hard to hear the person on the line, so ordering was difficult. read more

Mr Mesquite is cheap, simple, and delicious. The tacos are around $3 each, and they are $1 off on Tuesdays. A meal is very affordable and can easily be under $10. The menu and ordering process are both straightforward. Pick your base, then the protein, and then the extras. Choose between a taco, burrito, bowl, or quesadilla. Fill it up with steak, chicken, vegetables, or both meats. The optional steps are adding rice and beans or a beverage. Get in line, order, get your food, and then go help yourself at the salsa bar. The food is made-to-order, but it is a quick process. The meats are flavorful, and the food is filling. I have only been to Mr Mesquite closer towards closing time. It was not super busy then, but people were still coming in for dinner. It is safe to assume though that this place is very busy at lunch with how affordable it is. There is not much seating inside, but there are a few seats outside. You may have to wait for a table during peak hours, but at least parking is plentiful. Take-out is always an option too. read more

STRAIGHT FORWARD TACOS!! Walked in and went right up to the cashier. She was friendly and welcoming. The place seemed clean. I ordered three chicken and three steak tacos. You can choose what you want on your tacos. I went with everything. On Taco Tuesday's each taco is $0.80 off. Not a bad deal at all. The tacos took only a few minutes to come out. The tacos are not big nor are they small. Personally, four tacos is enough for me. The tacos and salsa tasted great. Overall, this place is a great fast taco. read more

DISAPPOINTING! So this place has great burritos at night. I just got the breakfast burrito. It was tiny, no eggs, mostly tortilla. I give 5 stars for their lunch/dinner burritos. 1 star for breakfast. read more

Ordered from here from uber eats last night! It was ready quick. I got a veggie burrito, got my husband steak and cheese tacos, a quesadilla to share, and chips and salsa. The burrito was pretty good! Had to warm it up for a bit, but it was good! Maybe a few too many of the onions but otherwise good. The quesadilla was good, I liked the guac sauce with it! I tried all 3 salsas and they were all yummy! Not a huge fan of the chips, they just tasted cardboard-y. Everything else was good though, my husband loved the tacos. Would be down to come back! read more

60$ for a mini plate of mixed meat that in fact does not feed 3-4 people. Also your mainly paying for the sides because I got a shit ton of sides but one mini plate of meat honestly very unsatisfying. Left me crying. Oh well at least the workers were kind. So basically 1 pound of meat doesn't equal 3-4 people feed. read more

After visiting a string of bad taco shops lately,I was hoping that Mr Mesquite would break the streak. While it has its redeeming qualities there is also room for improvement too. It's a casual joint so you order at the counter and they call out your order number when ready. You can choose between tacos, a burrito or a quesadilla. Your meat options are chicken, steak or a mix of the two. If you get tacos they ask if you want cheese and guacamole and if you want a corn or flour tortilla. Additional toppings can be found at the salsa bar next to the soda machine. They had some pico de gallo, cabbage, and a green and red salsa, however there was hardly anything left in the containers besides the cabbage and no one seemed to care to refill. I went with three mixed tacos, with cheese and guacamole and what little pico and onion I could scoop up from the salsa bar. My girlfriend got one steak and one chicken taco with just cheese and made it a combo - which adds rice and beans. My friend also got tacos. The flavor of the chicken was awesome. The steak had good flavor too but was a little tough. Perhaps since we came in later in the night they were just rehearing what had been previously made and that is why? Overall the flavor was decent I just would have preferred more options in stock at the salsa bar. The beans were average and the rice wasn't too great. Would probably just stick to tacos text time. Service was fine but not overly friendly. A girl was cleaning up by the near empty salsa bar and didn't attempt to refill anything... again it was still before 8pm so it wasn't right before closing time.. but it certainly felt that way. Overall not a bad place to grab some street style tacos but I wouldn't go out of the way for them. read more

2.9/5. Order 3 carne asada tacos. Add Pico and cheese. The tacos had way too much pico and they were so so so watery. Flavor has a good grill taste but over okay. The staff is really not friendly. Pretty blah. Ordered to go and they handed my box of food to me. I asked for a bag as well and it seemed like it was a horrible thing to request. You really get the food and service what you pay for these days. read more

The food was really good here. Sat outside with our dog. The quesadilla was really full. Would go back.

First things first -- the meat is awesome! They use a mesquite charcoal and the flavor is terrific. The other ingredients are also tasty. The cabbage, onions, tomatoes -- all good and fresh. The rice and refried beans are good too. I had a steak protein bowl. Overall it was very good. However, they're somewhat lacking in the customization department. I didn't see any queso, sour cream or black beans. All things I like in a bowl. They did have guacamole, which was good. Since the menu concept is one that allows you to customize your meal, I was a little surprised they didn't have more options. (Also, no chips of any sort.) They do have one of those sweet Coke machines with like a bazillion flavors. I love those. Where else are you going to find Vanilla Coke Zero! They also had a salsa bar. It was pretty average. (Lettuce could have been fresher.) Also It was slightly warm inside. (Though it was 110 outside.) Oh, they also do delivery and carry out orders. All in all, it's a good choice for affordable solid Mexican food. I'd go back. read more
