This was my second time there and my husbands third. This time we brought a guest. I dont like giving bad reviews but after $65 for horrible food I had to say something. Here's the upshot: 1. Please warm up your tortilla chips so they dont taste so old and hard. 2. Quit serving brunch. Obviously an afterthought for you. The tamales were old and dry and tasteless. The French toast was old and dry with sauce you barely "painted " on. And barely warm. No hint of an egg taste just yuck. 3. I bet this is a place where people come to drink and the food is also an afterthought. Coffee and tea drinkers not loved here because no one brings refills. Just plain awful. Embarrased we brought our guest read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, keep looking. The food here is best described as Americanized Mexican. That said, my chili relleno wasn't bad, just not what I expected. Note: they charge for chips and salsa. Boo hiss! Service was slow although they weren't too busy. But what was really unappreciated was the woman (bartender) with the foghorn voice who kept LOUDLY talking to other staff at a volume equal to a freight train. Lady, use your inside voice, especially when the person you are talking to is just 3 feet away! read more

Delightful surprise! Extensive menu, adventuresome dishes, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Supports local farmers. Flavors of my meal ranged from tasty (but a bit bland) to savory and yummy. I would definitely come back any time I pass through again. read more

Great food - not your usual US Mexican restaurant fare. Also the roadrunner cocktail is excellent.

I love this place. I always manage to get my favorite waiter that makes me laugh. The drinks and food is great quality. Presentation is beautiful. The atmosphere is is nice for a date. read more

Upscale Mexican. Pork Tinga taco was amazing. Wife had. Mollette De Chorizo Torta, which was also very tasty. I also had fish taco and shrimp taco which were good but not like the pork. The pork is what your looking for. read more

Went 1 time sat outside its a nice place, food is good just a tad overpriced but its good.

My first two visits were 5 star! I thought I'd write a new review for visit number 3 because it was such a different experience. What I've learned is to go eat at this little gem during quieter times of day. Unfortunately, they cannot accommodate a Friday night dinner rush. We were at the tail end of the rush. We were promptly seated and told our server would be right with us. She wasn't. It took about 15-20 minutes minutes before she arrived. We were getting up to leave when she appeared. We should've taken this as a sign of what to come. We ordered our drinks, chips and salsa and tacos. The drinks and chips arrived fairly soon after we ordered.... Then we waited almost an hour for our 3 tacos! They were good but not worth an hour wait. We were apologized to a couple times saying the food would be right up. Then, their credit card machine quit working and they took down our card info and said it'd be run in a day or two. This was a scary, although it did all work out just fine. The food was good, as always. Service okay, as always... Just go at a quieter time and you'll likely have a nice experience. read more

We love this one place. Delicious food and great service. The chips are the bomb and the salsa was super yummy.

The food is always worth wait. And wait you will. But the staff is friendly and tries their best to attend to their tables. We enjoyed our Mesa Quesadilla & Taco Salad. Don't forget to order the Blackberry Margarita & Chips & Salsa. Although it's surprising to be charged for chips & salsa, the chips are excellent and the salsa is chipotle spiced. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! I've eaten here before and thought the food was vey good but we returned last night for a bad experience. There were 7 employees working and only 3 wore masks, the server, the dishwasher, and the bus buy. The cooks and the bartenders who were also serving food were not masked. After our food was served I saw the cooks unmasked and I sent my food back uneaten. All the basic rules for protections for COVID19 were violated and I felt we were at risk. This is foolish and I hope their business suffers from their flippant attitude! read more

I was staying at The Camas Hotel and walked across the street for dinner. Really tasty - a definite 4+ stars! I wasn't a corn tortilla fan but had to try deep fried avocado. It was great ... the fresh corn tortilla was the difference though. Loved it! Ordered the pork chimichangas on recommendation and enjoyed every bite. Could have perhaps had a little more pico ... but shame on me for not asking. Washed down with a Bad Hombre larger .... a good visit! read more

Really great Sunday brunch; so good I came back the next Saturday--but there is no brunch on Saturday--boo! I ordered chowder soup (was a bit more thin than "chowder") and asked them to add two poached eggs, which they did for an additional charge of course, to make it more breakfasty for me! Haha! It was good. I do wish brunch and breakfast options were available Saturday too! read more

This was our first time dining here. Our waitress Aly, not only supplied fabulous service, but she also is a wonderful mixologist; my spicy margarita was amazing! The fresh chips, salsa and guacamole were very tasty! I would highly recommend the chili relleno, it's the best one I've ever had!! Hubby had three tacos, 2 fish, one beef. And we topped it off with a free warmed chocolate chip cookie with caramel and ice cream for his birthday dessert. We will definitely be back!! read more

Not a cantina, rather restaurante. Elegant take on traditional foods, good selection of proteins and vegetables. Seems reasonably priced to me; the commenter who stated $7 for chips and salsa was incorrect...chips and salsa are $3 and this becomes $7 only if you add a side of guac. The street tacos are $4-$5 ea. Look for the little birdhouse in the tree out front. read more

I love everything about this place. The warm and inviting atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the absolutely incredible food.

Cadillac margarita was great. Service was okay but food... not good. Chicken enchilada was boiled chicken, no spices, thrown in a tortilla with canned red sauce. (No cheese. What restaurant doesn't put cheese on an enchilada?) Black beans tasted like from can, no seasoning and rice was dry. My husbands ceviche was half cut up tomatoes. Very disappointing meal. read more

The bartender was awesome! She recommended the shrimp taco and it did not disappoint! The chips are so fresh, and the margaritas were delicious! Highly recommend! read more

We've lived in Camas a few years now and really enjoy supporting the downtown businesses as best we can. We've had some good experiences at Mesa but the issues we had years ago have recently bubbled up again. There have been multiple times we've been ignored either at the host stand or after being seated to the point where we just left to eat somewhere else. Last night, we were seated with a party of four and we waited for 20 minutes without acknowledgment or drink order. We asked the hostess about our waiter after about 15 min and were told they were busy. They were pretty busy so we waited a bit longer while staff walked by over and over. We finally just got up and left. I don't think I'll be back and I doubt they care so maybe it just is what it is. There are other dining options in our sweet town so we'll support those instead. read more

Finally had a chance to come back here for lunch during the work week. The tacos were just as I remember - delicious and savory, light but filling. I went here for a small lunch meeting with some colleagues. We all shared the chips, salsa and guacamole appetizer - all we're very tasty and satisfied our hunger until our main entrees arrived. I ordered the grilled fish tacos, beer battered avocado taco, and the mesa veggie taco. All of which were pretty good but my personal favorite was the mesa veggie taco. A couple of individuals in our party were vegetarian and they seemed to be satisfied with their vegetarian selections. We all ended our meal with either chocolate mousse cake or flan. The flan I was served was a pretty large portion and flavorful. Our server was very friendly, kept our waters filled, and allowed us the time we needed to eat and mingle. Overall, this was a great spot in downtown Camas. read more

Good lord almighty! I think I might stop by Mesa everyday now to devour their wet burrito. In all honesty, my husband and I have been coming here for years. We live right up the street on Prune Hill. Oh heyyyyy locals! Ok enough about me. THIS BURRITO. Im telling you. Crunchy on the bottom, soft on the side, tender in the middle with melted meat cheese and rice. We got it wet. The sauce they pour over the top sets it off. An old favorite we have enjoyed for years... has made me stop all the employees letting them know to give attention/praise to the chef in the back who recreated this worthy beast of a burrito. read more

We went to this restaurant because the brewery was packed and we are confused no one was in this restaurant for takeout because the food was amazing!! We ate a variety of meat taco's and a vegetarian taco and an avocado salad, and everything was delicious and fresh ingredients. So thankful we stumbled across this restaurant! read more

Third time we've been here. Food has been excellent. The chicken chowder I would enjoy every day! The Nachos we shared and WOW the pork was perfect spices but not too spicy. Plenty of chips, pick and beans. Good guacamole on the nachos. I prefer without sour cream but I forgot to ask to leave off. Coffee was good and refilled plenty. The green tea was glorious! And came with hot water for second cups. Staff is friendly, efficient, spent time with us when we asked questions. read more

Wow. Wow. We ran across this place by accident, and wow was the food amazing. Especially the pork loin, which was the special. Discussion with the server indicated they were looking into making it a regular menu item, which would be great. Seriously, it was amazing. We also got the Carne Asada, which was also very tasty. Although I think next time we go (and trust me, there will be a next time... soon) I may try some pork tacos or possibly the chile relleno. We also got some margaritas, which were a bit pricey, but quite good. Especially the Ginger Margarita. The place is a bit pricey. But seriously, that pork tenderloin was worth it. read more

I cannot believe this place is in Camas!! Neither can I believe that I have not know about it until now. The food is amazing. And not just for Mexican food. This is seriously in top 10 best restaurants I have ever been to. There are vibrant colors, unlike your typical brown stuff that you see in other Mexican places. There are fresh, crisp veggies. There are layers of flavors bringing you close to nirvana and you cannot help but thanking Mother Nature for gifting you those taste buds. From the cocktail menu - oh yes, did I mention they have full bar???? - I only tried special of the day, spiked spiced hot chocolate and it was perfection. The service is hit or miss. But seriously, with such heavenly food, they can set me on fire and I would just shrug it off. read more

My husband wanted to plan a dinner with friends for my birthday and we ended up with 24 people. I wanted to go to Nuestra Mesa for the food, drinks and ambiance and because I always like to support our local restaurants. They were fantastic! They accommodated our large party with grace and excellent service--and we weren't easy because we kept moving to different seats! The food is always great and drinks are excellent! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Just discovered this spot thanks to a great friend's recommendation. The "walk in the park" cocktail was delicious and refreshing and the food was scrumptious! The chips were fresh and complimented the salsa perfectly, the fish taco was perfectly balanced, the carnitas had a delicious creamy sauce, and the carne asada was beyond tender. I think this will definitely be a new favorite on my mix of regular spots! read more

Food is mediocre at best. Service was wonderful, but coming from Arizona, the food was bland, boring, and forgettable.

Stopped here while in town for drinks and light lunch after looking at rental homes. We were tired and this was a nice retreat from being in the car all day. The chowder was delicious!! And the red wine sangria was refreshing. read more

This is not a pleasant experience in this cute little town. We walked in on Sunday around 1:00pm waited for more than 3min and 4 employees just walked by ignoring us and not even greet or say "someone will be with you shortly" etc. The place is 60-70% occupied at that time and looks like not capable of handling the load. I saw a family of 6 holding the menu and the husband had to stand up looking for waiters so we just left. Soooo disappointing, will not come back! read more

Terrible food and service. We've eaten at Nuestra Mesa about 5 times, starting about 5 years ago. We liked it at first, but it has gotten so bad now we'll never go back. The Cochinita Pibil seemed to be warmed over from the day before, including the pork and the potatoes. (When I politely mentioned this, the waiter said, "we don't have a microwave." Well OK then, because everyone knows a microwave is the only way to warm up leftovers? Ever heard of an oven or a skillet?) It came with 3 tiny tortillas, less than half what you would need -- cheap. My daughter wanted a taste because she couldn't eat her dish (see below), but I couldn't give her any because the tortillas were all gone in the first 2 minutes. Pork was dry, sauce was bland. My daughter ordered the grilled octopus, as that's her favorite food. It was rubbery and fishy -- almost inedible. She gave me a bit to try. I had to literally remove the piece from my mouth and put it on my plate of uneaten and never-to-be-eaten Cochinita Pibil. My wife ordered the Enchiladas Del Mar. She wanted to make sure there was not too much cream, and was assured there was hardly any. It came swimming in cream with hardly any fish, and tasted bad. The chips were stale. I ordered a glass of house red wine. I got a glass with a 3 oz pour. I asked if it was a half pour. The waiter checked in the back and said the pour is supposed to be 6 oz. I did not demand anything, but just mentioned in response that it was not 6 oz, more like 3 oz. He took the glass away -- I thought just to get me a bigger pour. Instead, the bartender (not the waiter) stormed back very agitated, and got in my face with "I don't understand what your asking me to do -- what's the problem?!!" Dumbfounded at this aggressive display, I said, "well, I didn't 'ask' for anything -- I simply told the waiter that the pour was 3 oz and he took my glass." She said, angrily, "it's 6 oz, I pour it myself, do you want to order another glass or what!?" I said, calm down, no I don't, and that isn't 6 oz, but whatever. The other 5 people at the table were all dumbstruck at how rude and aggressive she was. My companion next to me had also ordered a glass of house white wine. It came with ice in it. She asked the waiter why it had ice -- that she never ordered ice. So he took it away, but instead of coming back with a new cold pour with no ice, he returned a while later and asked if she wanted them to strain out the ice and bring it back even though the melting ice will have diluted it during the 10 minutes it was sitting back in the bar being examined (the waiter actually said that part about the ice melting and diluting). My companion was speechless, surely having expected they would just pour a new glass from a cold bottle (which apparently they didn't have). I don't know what happened to this place. It seems like it was taken over by completely new ownership and management, and in no way resembles the restaurant it used to be. This was the most profoundly dissatisfying experience eating out in a long, long time. It deserves to go out of business quickly now. The public should do everything possible to see that this happens, by not going there ever, and telling everyone to avoid at all cost. read more

Supported this business in their delivery only mode in April 2020, and am very glad I did. They had family specials for takeout listed on their webpage. Plenty to eat and ready in less than 20 minutes! We love eating here previously, too, but wanted to give them a special shout-out for going above and beyond in a tough time for any business. read more

Rating would be higher if service had not been so slow. We waited a very long time to place a drink order and longer to receive them. Placing an order for chips and guac and then food also took a very long time. Margaritas are a good size and very good, and the tacos are also delicious. read more

We had a fabulous experience at Nuestra Mesa this evening. We sat at the bar and Cameron served us. An incredible experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the blackberry margaritas are amazing. Their guacamole is also very good. Cameron was attentive and thoughtful, offering perfect service. This was a special celebration for us tonight and Nuestra Mesa wass a great start to our very special evening. read more

I haven't been able or willing to dine in at any restaurant because of the surging Covid-19 cases, but I've tried their take out for the first time (new to Camas) and pleasantly surprised. Good quality, HUGE portions ( the burrito was big enough for two meals. Looking forward to dining in here with family when things get safer. read more

One of the best margaritas in town, always great service in the bar and their chowder is excellent!

We here eatin here several times. Great nachos & delicious tacos! The meats are flavorful though the fish taco is not a favorite. I appreciate the ala carte tacos to pick and choose and can have 1 or more. I usually come here for girls night, it's a great spot! read more
