Great restaurant! Chips salsa, and margaritas great! The soup nice flavor, Corn, potato, chicken, with chili. But the chicken was so finally shedded, that it blobbed up in the bowl! Terrible read more

Walked in and was told by the hostess that it would be a 20 minute to 1 hour wait. That was all. Really poor customer relations. I found this very rude and discouraging us from eating there. It worked. We found a friendlier place to eat. read more

Wow, great Tex mex grub here. Very cool place, great decor in a great old brick wall building. Servers were great. Chips and Salsa are amazing, but are not free at $3 bux an order. Tried a pork taco and steak taco, both were great, but the steak was the best one one the two. I would go back here again when I visit Camas, Wa. again. read more

We been regular customers of Nuestra Mesa for the last 3 years. Last night we came for dinner and the new menu was not impressive. Sometimes you just want some basic carne asada or shrimp tacos....well those are no longer options. I even asked our server Jacob and he said they will not make anything that's not on the menu so we left and went down the street. read more

I have been coming to Mesa for quite awhile now and I have to say, after last night I won't be back! The new menu is overpriced and the food is mediocre at best. My favorite items are no longer served and it seems as though either the salsa has changed or it was a bad batch. Our chips were stale and our food came out cold. The two stars is due to our server who did an excellent job. He tried to turn a situation around that was obviously not a good one, but unfortunately the food is a part of the whole experience and we were not impressed! We will take our business to Little Conejo from here on out! read more

Horrible service. Sat for over an hour and never received our drinks, water glasses empty, servers not anywhere to be seen. This is the second time we've been here and for sure the last. The owner must not have any restaurant experience. read more

My favorite Mexican restaurant!!!! Great food, friendly staff and love to support our local businesses here in Camas!!!!

Bland! Bland. Bland. Are you allergic to flavor? Then this is the place for you. Tacos - meat unseasoned, wrong accompaniments, no hot sauces or salsas were offered. *Store-bought* tortillas. Chile Relleno - had to check it was actually a poblano and not a green bell pepper. White rice, black beans, no seasoning, no sauce. Service was practically non-existent. Aside from taking the order and dropping off a check, that was it. This is 'Mexican' food done for old white people at a premium price. Unfortunately, Camas has no authentic Mexican restaurant. The alternatives are closer to Tex Mex faire. The two guys working the line must go home and cry into their pillows every night at the bland food they have to make. I hope their wives forgive them. read more

Went for dinner again. They are still charging for Chips and Salsa. Watched as the waiter asked another guest if they wanted chips and salsa. I paid close attention when they said yes she never said they are not free. Yes they were charged for them and yes they were both surprised read more

We ordered a carne asada, fish taco, and chips and salsa with guacamole. All were homemade and delicious. The fire roasted salsa was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend the carne asada. It's perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere was very welcoming with it's rustic modern bar style decor. The staff were very pleasant and polite. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is one of the must visit restaurants in Camas, WA for Mexican food. read more

Stopped by after an afternoon hike just in time for Happy Hour, which was A nice surprise since it was Saturday. We had a couple of IPAs and street tacos and nachos and loved them both! Tacos had great flavor, got 3 different meats and each had different sauces and ingredients. Nachos came with chicken and plenty of sauce, chips were all wet, very good. We loved the vibe of the restaurant and the crowd was mixed local and out of towers (like us). Service was friendly and attentive. By the time we left we'd already talked about family and friends we want to come back with! read more

Wow! Super good food. I ordered a carne asada torta. Way good. We will be back. Great chips and salsa too. The salsa is charred and filled with goodness. read more

Nuestra Mesa - Super yum! - Mexican Near Me - Camas, Washington

I like to come to downtown Camas and I love Mexican food so we frequent Mesa but on our visit today service couldn't be worse! Can't get a server to help us and then when we did it took 30 minutes for a Margarita. They never came back to check on us and refill my daughter drink. I think since they increased the size of the patio but haven't staffed up that service is now horrible and I'm not sure I would like to come back. The food and drinks are good but waiting for them to serve you if frustrating! read more

The family taco meal was fantastic. Plenty of food for 5 people. My favorite is Tinga Tacos. The Pollo Asada is good too. There is plenty of fixing: salsa, cabbage, onions, etc. My one regret. I did not see if I could get one of their signature Margaritas. read more

The pork belly tacos are outstanding! My husband had the pozole and was rather disappointed. Chips and guacamole are good. Salsa has good flavor but is a bit too spicy for me. The previous visit I had the carnitas which was also pretty good & perfectly cooked. The live music on a Wednesday night was a nice surprise. Service is good, although I wish they would offer a water refill after we had paid & were staying a little longer to chat. There was no lack of tables & clearly we weren't in a rush to leave. It kind of sends the wrong message when they just leave you hanging after the bill is paid. There must be a better way. Had there been people waiting we would have left but, there wasn't and the music was so nice. read more

I really want to like this place but every time I've been here it seems like something is a miss. Great location, really good menu. This place needs to offer chips and salsa, it's not that awesome of place that should charge for them and when you're eating by yourself, I don't want to order a huge chips and salsa-just bump your entree prices to cover it . Tequila selection is avg, poor for a Latin place. Table salt used for margarita glass If you want to call your tequila for a margarita, it gets complicated. I'd be here once a week if they made it easier to be there read more

My sister was visiting from California, so we decided to have dinner at Nuestra Mesa. We made reservations to eat outside and got to the restaurant on time but we couldn't find a hostess to seat us. Finally we got our table and immediately saw a boy sitting at an adjoining table who had a live rabbit sitting on his dining table eating lettuce out off of a dinner plate. I pointed this out to our waitress and told her that I didn't think having a rabbit on a table would pass a health inspection. She shrugged it off, not knowing what to do. At this point my husband arrived and was totally appalled by what he saw. He went in the restaurant to find a manager and shortly afterward someone asked the boy to remove the rabbit from the table. The boy and his mom left and our waitress apologized to us. She said she never noticed the rabbit until I pointed it out to her and didn't know what to do about it. Food was ok, nothing special. We will not be back. read more

Wonderful tasty yummy food! Was our first time visit from Oregon city. Will definitely eat here again. We sat outside and it was lovely!

Hands down our favorite spot for Friday lunch! The staff is always so friendly, the margaritas hit the spot and the chips, salsa and guac always brighten our day. Our favorite go to dishes are the mesadilla with veggies, mesa bowl, shrimp tacos and most recently the wet burrito. I wish there were lunch specials, somedays I'm really craving an enchilada which I know is on the dinner menu. We love this place, thank you for everything! See you soon, cheers! read more

We decided to eat at Mesa tonight (all girls) and they turned us a away rudely because they close at 9. I understand and try not to do that but figured with a full restaurant and some still waiting for food we would be ok but she made it clear and we felt we should leave. As a business owner and think you should serve until your closed. Not sure if owner would agree with employee turning us away. I'm like the food though. read more

Been a long time customer of Mesa and it seems the service and quality has gone down and prices have gone up. Street tacos were cold and fajitas are a fairly small portion for the price. Still love the chips and guacamole! read more

Superior service. Delicious avocado fries and friendly, attentive staff. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area.

Absolute best authentic food ever! Staff friendly. If you don't mind a loud atmosphere, it's a great place to meet friends.

If you're looking for authentic type Mexican food restaurant, this place is not it. Don't get me wrong, the food is pretty good.. but pricey. The chips and salsa are NOT complimentary and even the large priced salsa is pretty small for a table of 4. The tacos are really good but about $4-5 EACH with no sides included (beans, rice etc) and in my opinion are considered gourmet style street tacos. During our dining experience we did ask for extra sides of some of the crema sauce and avocado sauce and although they were extremely small sides, they did not charge us extra for them. Kids nachos were just tortilla chips topped with grated melted cheese $5...kind of a disappointment. Would I return?....probably not. I felt like I was constantly asking for things that the server should've already made sure we had, i.e.; salt, pepper, extra napkins, drink refills, extras we had asked for during the time he took our order. The atmosphere didn't have a warm and cozy feeling for me. I had a margarita that was pretty good but it's just one of those places that you say "okay I tried it but it was just okay"...then you add in the price of the food, some of it good and some of it mediocre and you just go "yeah, no...I've had better".. read more

Yes, this is a nicely located spot, and I think the food might be pretty good, however......every single time I have been there, my order is either wrong, or just doesn't show up. No apologies, and this always means that my family is done eating their meals while I sit a wait for mine. No thank you. read more

Food was great but service was TERRIBLE. We ordered and were served our food but half way through our meal we had to yell out "excuse me!" to get some servers attention for another beverage. Server literally never came by our table while we watched others have service. Even after waving and trying to make eye contact and waving some more ... then we sat for 15 minutes waiting for our check which didn't reflect the happy hour drink prices. We've never given a zero tip before, but whoever was supposed to be our server never earned it. Here's the catch, it wasn't even busy! It was 3:30pm on a Friday. I was hoping the poor yelp reviews on service were exaggerated, but they weren't. We more than likely won't be back. (It was my birthday, unfortunate experience) read more

Just left this restaurant because OUR TABLE WAS GIVEN TO OTHERS when we made a reservation. It was hurtful and we really loved going to this place but will never be attending again and I will make sure to let my friends and family know as well to never visit this "establishment". I have had a couple issues with staff before with a girl named Stella, she was our server. She was rude and inconsiderate and was so overly mean to others, even called customers stupid and dumb to other coworkers. That was this first strike and this is the last straw. Going to miss the food but the service matters as well. read more

Amazing brunch at Nuestra Mesa! We have been going to this restaurant for a while and the food and service has always been outstanding. They just recently began opening on Sundays for brunch. There aren't many great brunch places around- this is a great brunch menu. Jose was our server and he was very knowledgeable and attentive - I went with his recommendation for the steak and eggs- not your typical - perfectly prepared and seasoned. My husband went with the carnitas omelet - also perfectly prepared- delish. We will be going back to try other menu items for sure. A must try in charming Camas! read more

Produce sticker in my meal...... Small local place. My favorite kind of place..... However..... I would like to go back but I gave the next visit $10 card to my sister since she lives in Camas. Small dipping containers for the salsa. Especially if you get the spicy salsa. I ordered a large chips and salsa and my brother in law suggested to trying the enchiladas. Overall the enchilada's had a great presentation and flavor. I devoured one and realized on my last bite there was a sticker on my other enchilada. I notified the waitress ( possibly even the owner) and at first she laughed and then ask me what it was. I said it looks like some sort of sticker from an avocado or something in the produce department. She said would you like me to have the kitchen re- make it? I declined and said no because next time maybe the sticker would be on the inside. I suggested that maybe she brought it back to one off the chef. She returned with my tab and coupon. Good luck. read more

I found it in Camas, that is, if 'it' is pretentiousness and hype. This is yet another pseudo-hip venue in the small downtown so desperate to find an identity. So my friend and I walk in and are greeted by the oh-so-full-of-herself hostess and we're promptly seated. The waitress announces that the portions are small and asked if we want drinks. The look of disappointment was obvious when we opted to just get food. So the menu has a Taco for $3.00 and a cup (more like a half cup) of soup for $2.50. The message appears to be that it's trendy to not over eat so I order a cup of soup and some corn tortillas and her response was "Is that all?" What a joke. Like I don't see through the plan to order three tacos ($9.00), rice and bean (another $5.00) and a Margarita ($8+). This is about taking your money folks make no mistake and they don't even try to erect a facade in front of it. As for the soup, I can puree beans and top it with a dollop of sour cream and some parsley at home. There was absolutely nothing about it worth even talking about. It's interesting that the other reviewer mentioned another restaurant because they are actually way more authentic and provide a much better value. I apologize for not bothering to try to the other items but I was so off-put by our waitress that both my friend and I couldn't wait to get out of there. So if you're an aspiring yuppie, this place (and Harwood's for that matter) could really ring your bell; however, if you've lived in a large cosmopolitan city, you know better than to waste your time. read more

My co-workers and I frequent Mesa a lot, and we always have an enjoyable experience. Good food and fair prices. The staff is friendly and attentive. I do wish they would add some menu items (fajitas, enchiladas) or some lunch specials, but overall, very pleased with their food and atmosphere. Oh, and the margaritas are amazing! read more

3 stars for the food. The enchiladas were unique in flavor and quite tasty!! I had a hard time paying $3.50 for 1...yes 1 small taco. You had to pay for the chips & salsa well. 1 star for the service. The young gal barely spoke to us and didn't even bring us the basics like water. She had attitude and was rude, which killed our first experience there. Overall, the food was just ok. I didn't leave and say "wow, I'm going back." read more

I've not eaten a thing here I don't like! Their queso is to die for, I literally go there specifically for that. The service is good. I do think the drinks are slightly overpriced but they are good. The only complaint I can share about this place is the past 2-3 times I've dined for dinner my order was brought out with the items I asked to have excluded. They were quick to remake it but when you're dining with others you want to enjoy food together. Oh, and I tried the flan for Valentine's Day... the BEST flan I've eaten. read more

An alright place to get sort of fancy pants Mexican food. Good ginger margaritas. Good chips and salsa. Kind of blah fish tacos, but a nice starter salad. The service is kind of blah, not out right rudeness, but we had to ask 2 times to get our appetizers (the chips and salsa you pay for) and they brought them after the food. It's not a bad place or an amazing place. It's ok but probably wont be anyone's favorite. We chose it because it was close and we wanted to be close to home in case the sitter had a problem. For that it was great. read more

Well, the first time service was bad enough where I thought about not coming back, but the food and ambiance were so good I had to go back. This was an incredible strike out. The food was great, and I'll give it a third try but here's what happened. I had set up a meeting for 7:30 so needed to be back by that time. I arrived at 6:20, plenty of time. I love live music, but not when it disrupts the entire experience. I had to wait a bit more than usual to get the menu, get my wine and then eventually get my food, but still had adequate time. She gathered my plate and asked if I wanted anything more and I said 'It was great, just the bill please'. This was at ~7. It was a family affair, obviously, and I would normally have been thrilled with getting to hear it, but I was in a bit of a hurry. First, it was her niece (I believe she said), who sang a few songs. Next my waitress took the stage. Punchline? After waiting **35min** and even giving her the international symbol of "Check PLEASE!" when I was now already late for the meeting, but doing all I could to not be rude. At 7:37 I put down what I hope was adequate and had to run. Perhaps she had thought she already dropped the bill off. The food is so good that I have to give it one more try... but for now, this was obviously a 1 star experience. read more

Vegan options: Eh Service: Fine Price: $$$ Decided to try a new place for dinner last night and while we weren't necessarily "disappointed," we probably won't be back. Our waitress was sweet but not too knowledgeable about the menu which is important to me as I don't eat animal products. The chips & salsa are unfortunately very lackluster (and greasy) and are also not complimentary. The guac is pretty good though. It seems that everything here is "okay" but doesn't warrant the price. As a vegan I didn't find myself with many options which is always a bummer. Ordered the kale salad and a side of black beans. I was surprised to see the black beans come out which goat cheese on top so we had to ask for a new order. My parents liked their tacos and my mom enjoyed her Spanish coffee. read more

While we were eating here, Pirate Grrl insisted that we have to write Nuestra Mesa a good review. So here it is! From the 6 year old perspective: the tortilla chips are the best ever, the kid's bean burrito is delicious, and she could spend hours in their bathroom (looking at all the interesting displays on the walls). I enjoyed my meal here as well. The watermelon drink was refreshing. The green, smoky salsa that came with the chips was unusual and delicious, and the guacamole was first-rate. A couple tacos filled me right up: one with root vegetables, one with pork shoulder, both fresh-tasting and delicious. My only point of dissatisfaction was with the serving size of the salsa--the cute little pot it came in was very little. It was enough to go with about 3 chips (though admittedly I'm much fonder of salsa than the chips that deliver it to my eager mouth). Between the pot of the salsa and the guacamole, I had about a handful of chips covered. At least Pirate Grrl was happy to finish the rest. The interior was pleasant and well-decorated, with a seasonal Day of the Dead theme. Our server was great with kids and took good care of us. I think if the salsa serving size had been a bit more generous, this would have been a 5 star review. Who knows, I may have to bump it up a star after trying the happy hour someday (though I'm going to have to hold off on the drinking for a few more months). The happy hour menu looked wonderful, with inexpensive tacos, ceviche (can't wait to sample that), and other yummy things. Maybe they even have "real" Sangria ... mmm ... Sangria ... read more

We have been here a handful of times now; sometimes it's great, sometimes not so much. The last time we were here we had excellent, attentive service. Saturday night was a different story. It was a busy night obviously so we took a seat in the bar. The bartender took almost 10 minutes to acknowledge our presence before asking us what we would like to drink. A 4-person table opened up in the bar and as we had two more people joining us, I asked him if the bar was open seating. His reply: "I really don't get involved with stuff like that; you'll need to ask the hostess." I asked to close out our tab so he would get the tip for the drinks he made us, placing my card on the bar top. He completely ignored me and my boyfriend so we took our drinks and went the 4-person table in the bar. Our server seemed very frazzled as if she didn't have the time to serve us or ask us if we wanted anything else to drink after we finished our first round. Nuestra Mesa food is really good! I just wish the service was better. read more

I see some mixed reviews for this place but I have got to tell you, it's refreshingly different but some folks just need to cut them some slack. Camas is in a bit of a transition now between the gourmand crap that you can find all over the county and the newer, more sophisticated places. To those who think this place is pricey, and a bit inaccessible, I would say, please go to the Taco Bell down the street, I would rather not have you get in my way. I do tend to agree that their salad with pumpkin seeds is a little too salty but it still was very good. As far as the other food goes, their chips and fresh guacamole were great, as were their baja style tacos and their adult beverages. Try this place out, remember that this is not a fast food place, they actually prepare everything on site and frankly it is very good and a nice refreshing change from the ordinary garbage that is peddled around Clark County. read more

Good food, mediocre service (at best) and very pricey and more than a bit on the pretentious side. Interesting com nations of favors with superb presentation, but we went at a very slow time....there were three whole tables and 4 wait staff on and yet everything took ages. DEFINITELY NOT a place to take any kid younger than 12-14 unless they have a very adult palate. We ordered our daughter something from the minute kids menu (which is really very much of an afterthought by the size of it) and it was overly spicy. So if you enjoy Pearl District pretentiousness and its accounting prices then this is the place for you! Should you want to eat in less than 3 hours or have children with you (which I would guess they'd rather you left them at home) then you are better off going elsewhere. read more
