Service is always a 10/10, food is phenomenal and the place is so nostalgic, I'm so happy it's still around!

Our go to spot when in Pittsburg! The bean dip is the best and highly recommend ordering with the flour chips. I got the chicken taco salad, the small size and the portion was large. The cheese burger my son ordered was amazing and a surprise for a Mexican restaurant. My husband ordered chilaquiles and loved them. The ambience is old school decor. read more

They just catered our bocce ball leagues lunch in Brentwood. Most items were pretty good as usual but....the pork burritos were the driest tasteless burrito I've ever tried to eat. Nothing inside but over cooked dried out pork, I've eaten there since the 60's and a big fan but this fell short, read more

Been coming here since I was in high school (since 2003) and first off, we all know the BEAN DIP is the best. The service has been a bit slower than usual lately, though. I did take a friend here yesterday from out of town (his second time in two years) and while we did wait 30 minutes for our order to arrive, he did say, "oh wow, yeah this food was worth the wait!" I also love that most of the staff is still here 23 years later. I think it says something, don't you? Also, are you really from the East Bay if you haven't been here?!??? read more

I went back a couple times recently to the Mecca and it seems they corrected whatever was going on with the flavor changes. I know that some people have a different opinion but I will always love this spot (so long as they keep the recipes going in the nostalgic way)! Back up to 5 stars! read more

Came for my Chico de Mayo dinner. Seem busy, hard for first timer to figure out restaurant entering procedures. Sat at the counter. Service was steady. Saw Carne Guisada tacos on yelp. Came for that. It wasn't what I expected but delicious. The salsa and guacamole was amazing. I would come back. Not for Carne Guisada tacos. I'll try another dish. read more

Love their TACOS No one does this traditional way of tacos anymore!!! Love Mecca!! Great food wonderful welcome fabulous staff!!!! read more

The Mecca used to be incredible food we would have it catered to engagement announcements wedding family reunions. Haven't been there in years I moved to Pittsburgh recently so we said let's go to the Mecca and guess what new owners food not so much it doesn't taste anything like it used to I loved their tacos but now not so much will we go back again ? No. And we went to sit on the bar side where they have booths. It was so hysterical my friend and I went and sat down and looked at each other at the same time! And started laughing because the booth the back of it tilted forward it was the most uncomfortable Booth we got up and went ovewr to the other side where they were tables the nitro side is the bar side to eat at but you could not sit in a booth we couldn't figure out how anybody was sitting in the booth. read more

The food was very good, but the service took forever. We asked for to-go boxes because everyone had to leave and the food still wasn't ready about an hour after we ordered it. It seemed like they were prioritizing their door dash orders and forgot about our group of 6 sitting right in front of their dining room. It really is a great place to eat, but we just caught them at a bad time on that particular Sunday afternoon. read more

Service was horrible. Food was pretty good but the service was bad. I can only imagine they lost what it means to want repeat bussiness from locals. read more

New Mecca flavoring is BACK! New Mecca been around for a while!!! Before I was even born!!! They fell off for a bit but I could you not their bean dip is never a miss!!! Also omg the combination number 3 the tamale, enchilada with a beef taco and rice and beans for $16!!! A whole entire meal and I could you not the flavoring is all there! read more

This place served authentic Mexican food. The beans and rice were great. The plate I had had an enchilada taco rice beans, and a salad all for under $14. The wait staff was very attentive. Excellent choice if you're looking for good authentic Mexican food not far off the freeway either if you're traveling past Pittsburgh make the stop. read more

New Mecca Cafe - chiquita special - Mexican Near Me - Pittsburg, California

My experience was horrible. I have been here several times over many years. It used to be good. Gradually it has gone down hill. To night was the last straw. Service was slow seated for 10 minutes befythe cups a dip were served and another 10 before our drink orders were taken. Another 10 minutes to serve the beverages. We were seated for an hour before we got our food. Horrible service. The food was slow and terrible, barely warm, one person's entree the beef tasted rancid, they complained and it was taken off the check. This was my last visit to the New Mecca after at least 40 years it is just God awful read more

The wait time to be seated wasn't long, however, the service was HORRIBLE. We got the restaurant around 5:45PM, got sat down at a table by 6PM. We waited 20 minutes just to get menus, She then offered to get our drinks & we waited a 15 minutes just to even get our drinks. My family and I used to come here years agooo so we were in town and decided to stop by but the service was just horrible. The waitress was a bit nice but was in a rush. I had ordered the chicken enchiladas and to be honest, the enchiladas and rice were definitely good but the beans? Definitely not a Mexican authentic taste. My partner ordered the Gordo special and you would've thought it was something that came from an expired tv dinner... the beef had a rancid taste and we didn't think the beef taco was going to be exactly ground beef? Don't get me wrong, I love a ground beef taco but this ground beef tasted so bland and old. But overall, still love the bean dip and the enchiladas were pretty good. Just wouldn't come again read more

The main thing is their prices are gone up too much on the bean dip and meat dish. I used to get 2 under ten dollars but for some reason now, one bean dip costs you 10 bucks. Four times the price now remember bean dip they give you every day as you dine in lower your prices on the bean dip to go. read more

i came in with a friend for a good hamburger! i had lived around this area in Pittsburg about 10 years ago, and it definitely has developed in this area these past years, with much more restaurants and spots opening im glad they still have their great bean dip, and customer service was nice from the jump. i ordered a classic cheeseburger, and it was delish! read more

I am updating my review from 15 yrs ago. I have eaten here several times since my last review and I must say the food is back to being delicious again. The service however can be a lot better. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, but that can be an easy fix by management. I love how they expanded the restaurant even bigger and there are 2 different dining areas you can be seated at. read more

New Mecca Cafe is one of those places that never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The complimentary bean dip and chips are a must-have and easily some of the best around. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a unique atmosphere with lots of character, making it a great spot for family dinners or casual meals with friends. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Pittsburg, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll definitely be back! read more

You truly don't know what you got till it's gone. Born and raised in Pittsburg and didn't appreciate the Mecca right down the street until I moved away. Now I'm a state away and somewhat glad or else I'd be eating here frequently. The best parts about the New Mecca: local eats, several options, have it your way, and the best bean dip! They had great service, checked on us frequently, let us customize our dishes, and were very patient with the family and two loud and wild toddlers. The tastes and vibes were great, no place like home with the good eats of the New Mecca. read more

I love the vibes in this restaurant. It definitely felt like walking to an establishment with lots of history. If only the walls could talk! We came here with a larger party around 9pm. We got seated quickly and were given lots of great suggestions on what items were most popular. SO and I got the flautas plate and one of the combo plates. Everyone loved the flour tortilla chips and the bean and cheese dip and salsa we enjoyed from the beginning of the meal. I'd love to come here again and try more things! read more

Been coming here decades all the people who used to work here left, the Italian dressing is gross watered down the potato and cheese soup lols yellow and is horrible. The beans are the same the service has had gone downhill it's now a bunch of young adults who don't know the clientele and they are rude or busy chatting. To bad the Mecca is gone. read more

When my friend and I go out to lunch, he always insists on coming to this place. I don't know why. The service was fast and friendly but the food? Not good, not good at all. There's two sides to the restaurant - the booth side which has some nice wooden booths and the other side which is, minimalistic to put it nicely. No sign of it being a Mexican restaurant with a minute amount of Mexican decorations, no music and/or TV stations. The chips are bite-sized which is nice, the bean dip was solid as they put red sauce and cheese on top but the salsa was mediocre. He ordered a combo meal, which he liked. I ordered the compadre meal. The presentation was sloppy as the burritos (I didn't know they weren't wet or covered) weren't rolled with any sense of pride as they were loosely rolled then thrown on the plate. Inside there was shredded chicken (dry), pork or beef (dry) and chorizo with egg (very dry). The burritos were simply the filling and tortilla - no cheese, no sauce, no pico, no meat drippings, nothing - just dried fillings. I should've requested some sour cream, queso dip or more salsa to put on them but I didn't. The beans were okay and the rice was slightly better. The rice was the best part of my meal by default, because everything else was just shy of terrible. They have canned sodas. I had a MUG root beer. It's a 30 minute drive to get here and for the life of me, I don't understand the appeal. I'm sure my friend will insist we come here next time and if I can't convince him to go somewhere else, I'll try something else on the menu. Maybe then I'll find something that resembles good Mexican food. If it was just me, I would actively avoid this place. read more

Casual restaurant. The food is great. I'm obsessed with their bean dip and guacamole. The portions are huge, you will not be disappointed.

I recently hosted a baby shower at my home. I had New Mecca do the catering. Ordering was so easy! Phylis helped me with my order and made things go so smoothly. Food was delivered on time and delicious! I will definitely order from New Mecca again in the future. read more

This place is always on our "stop" list here We love the feels and it is a stable in the community. Collective agreement is that the place has changed over time. The food is not what it used to be and was disappointing:( It was great to run into one of our favorite servers and she makes the experience. The ambiance has changed over time as well read more

We love Mecca! The food is delicious and service is great, definitely our favorite Mexican restaurant in town

I made a order on the phone for pick up and when I got there, it was a totally different price than what they quoted me on the phone then I got nachos and they weren't good. I didn't like them. I don't know. It was just a weird beans and they're weird and I normally get like the vegetarian nachos and these weren't that great the service it was OK. The Ambiance is a little outdated I would say but the service was just OK to me. I don't think I'd go there again. read more

I've been introduced to New Mecca through work catering event. This was my first timing dining in and everything is delicious. The old school diner charm with all the classic Mexican dishes you love. My favorites are the crispy beef tacos, bean dip and enchiladas. I've always said you can tell how good a place is by how cheap there napkins are. This place does not disappoint. They open at 10am and are closed on Wednesdays. read more

Well! Went today for the chip and bean dip! The chips were stale and the dip was not hot! I was thinking that we received the leftover from Sunday! I will check the chips from now on! If you didn't sell the chips from Sunday, why would you serve them on Monday read more

I heard about this restaurant from a local FB group in Solano County and since I had some business here in Pittsburgh CA I decided to come and try. I ordered the Chicken Taco, Chicken enchilada, and Chili Rellano with rice and beans. The food is exceptional with very large portions. I was so impressed that I ordered the Super Chicken Burrito to take home. I will definitely bookmark this for a future visit. read more

I started coming to The Mecca 49 years ago when I was 5 with my grandparents. I have been bringing my wife and my kids for over 25 years. I have easily eaten here (and the old location) over a hundred times. My best compliment is consistency! I have never once had bad service or a bad meal. Best chicken tacos north of Mexico. Guisada to die for. Chilaquiles yummmm! Albondigas special. Phenomenal! Bean dip is literally the best on the planet. I don't live close to Pittsburg and still make it a point to go at least 5 times a year. Every employee I have ever dealt with has been kind and attentive. The culture is the same today as it was 49 years ago. Honest, quality, reasonably priced and always great service. read more

Lou lou is the best. My family has been going to new mecca since before i was born my grand parents had there first date at new mecca and my grandpa is 95 years old . We have a good size family and we are all pleased with the service and the food that we get every time we are here.Thank you for staying true and always welcoming everyone with a beautiful smile and amazing food read more

I've heard people talk about this place for years so I decided to try it for myself. They brought out two different styles of chips, salsa, and bean dip. The chips and bean dip were lovely. I'm more of a hot sauce guy so the salsa was just okay but if you like it chunky it might be for you. My wife ordered a veggie burrito and the thing was the size of a small child. I got the chili Colorado meal with the rice and beans. The portions were very generous and the food was solid. For the money I would say it's more than worth it. 1 beer,2 glasses of wine, and 3 meals was only $59 which to me is a deal. The service was fast and on point and the atmosphere is nice. Overall a very pleasant experience. read more

I have been eating at this establishment since 1977. The Mexican restaurant litmus test for me is the chili rellenos and literary have ordered the dozens of times. I have not found a spot that makes them better than these. Thiers are hand dipped,lightly battered, and covered in sauted bell peppers and onions . Effing delicious, the Mrs & I believe we have ordered this meal 40 plus time at the Meeca over the years,the best! Pro tip: Ask for the flour corn chips(not on the menu) read more
