    Shrimp tacos! Baby shrimp chopped in a seasoned sauce.
    Ronnesha L.

    This place has change owners over the years. It use to be ok for your taco fix. Now it's really yummy. We get tacos and wet burritos. I just tried the shrimp tacos today. I never had shrimp tacos with chopped shrimp and in a sauce. Some of the shrimp pieces were hard like they were fried too hard on the grill. The food is good and seasoned very well. Quick service, they get you in and out. Salsa bar with lots of variety sauces. It's one small issue that I have. We always find bones from the chicken. In the burrito and tacos. Otherwise it's a good place to eat.

    Tacos Rancheros (Asada) but Keto Style

    Service was extremely friendly upon arrival, and for a weekday afternoon this place was absolutely packed! That says something that they're definitely doing right! Then I realized why because the tacos were BOMB they had keto ones, crunchy ones, I personally liked the asada over the pollo but both were equally very tasty! I had a bite of the keto tacos and those were yummy as well. The restaurant was very nice, air conditioned, casual yet colorful and I loved it! We will absolutely be returning!

    Tacos were good! We ordered lengua, birria and tripas and were not disappointed. I got some jalapeños and sautéed onions on the side too. The salsa bar was stocked with all the necessary condiments needed to complete your taco dining experience. Service was fast, quick and friendly.

    Bomb dot com!! I come here every time I'm in town to visit my family. Tacos are so good. Good amount of meat, delicious sauce & a slightly crispy but soft tortilla. Burrito is also soooo good. My family calls this the "209 burrito" I'm more of a taco girl but this place makes some bomb burritos too!! The horchata was alright. I will probably skip it next time. Service was great. Girls at the counter were nice while taking our order. Lots of tables inside. Love the sauce bar & the little area by the counter to get grilled onions & jalapeños. So good with whatever you order. Overall, I love this place & will always come back when I'm in town. No complaints from me!

    Located in a strip mall off Hammer Lane. Plenty of parking. It's nice inside with a full salsa bar. They have plastic salsa containers to get your own which is nice. The register lady was not welcoming, just kind of took the order. I was handed a drink cup but wasn't told where to get my drink. I didn't know I was supposed to go behind her to pour my own drink or get the bottle out the refrigerator. They called out our order number. It took about 15 minutes which seemed longer than expected. When asked, I said yes to cilantro and onion but taco didn't come with. I had to ask for it after and no fork for the plate I ordered. Typically I don't mind but it's almost like you bother them for asking. Now for the food. Beans taste bitter like from a can. Rice tasted homemade and the chile relleno was good. I enjoyed it with the red orange salsa from the salsa bar. The one was good and spicy. The birria was good. I liked how they give you 2 tortillas on the side with your plate. Overall, service sucked but food was good.

    Burrito Bowls
    Alyssa S.

    The food was good. We ordered tacos de estilo Tijuana (4/5), a chicken burrito bowl (3/5), red sauce wet burrito (3/5), beef burrito (3/5). The beef is good, but I don't recommend the chicken. The service was average. They take your order at the register and bring your food to the table when it's ready. The ambience is like a typical Mexican taqueria. There is a self serve salsa bar (5/5). Overall, the food was decent but not worth the price. If we go back, it will be for the tacos.

Our table was right next to a metal utility rack they were using to store menus and cleaning products. That's fine, but my head was close to a spray bottle and a bottle of Lysol, which wasn't ideal. They were very busy, so we had high hopes for great food. Unfortunately, many of the items were bland. The beans and rice were especially underwhelming, with very little flavor--you can tell from the picture that the rice is basically plain white rice. My flautas were crunchy with fresh toppings, but the meat lacked flavor. My meal came with a bowl of fideo, but it wasn't delivered before my meal like it was for other tables. In fact, I had to ask for it after our food arrived, which makes me think I wouldn't have received it otherwise. After we finished eating, it took about 15 minutes to get our check. The servers were clearly very busy, but it would have been nice to leave sooner. Overall, I probably wouldn't come back. The noise level was overwhelming, and the food was just okay. If I did return, I wouldn't order anything that comes with beans and rice.

The maximum occupancy is 49 people, but it felt roomier inside than that. The decor is okay and the place seemed clean overall. Service - Service was pretty good. Our server was very friendly, and service wasn't bad. The only blemish was she did not check in on refills very frequently. I managed to get one, but my wife did not. By the time she asked again, we had finished our meal and were ready to go. A pretty small blemish, and not a dealbreaker for us. Food - The food was outstanding. My wife got the fajitas and they looked great! She loved them. I got the alambres and they were fantastic. Add in the homemade tortillas (both flour and corn) and it's an easy five stars! Their rice, beans, and salsa were all good too. No complaints at all with the food. Overall, I'd definitely come back again. The food was great, the people were super friendly and welcoming, and we were able to get a table right away. It's very close to the freeway, so when coming from out of town it's an easy on/off too. Great spot!

We came here on a whim last weekend, and OMG, I'm so glad we did. The restaurant is small and not in the greatest location, but the food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I can't wait to go back! The tortilla chips are a mix of corn and flour, which was a nice surprise. Literally everything we ordered was so good! I went with the build-your-own combo plate and chose a cheese enchilada, beef taco, and beef flautas. My entire plate was delicious, including the rice and beans. The homemade tortillas were so fresh and tasty. Everyone in our party of four enjoyed their food. We split the three-piece quesabirria tacos, and they were excellent. I chose the gravy cheese enchilada for my combo plate, but I also tried my partner's green chili chicken enchilada--both were great. You can choose between red, green, or gravy sauce for the enchiladas, and I definitely want to try the red next time. Don't be turned off by the unassuming storefront and corner location. This place is serving up some seriously delicious food, and it's absolutely worth the visit!

I chose La Mesa because the first time we went I was very impressed with the delicious drinks and the short rib enchiladas. The atmosphere is so special and intimate whether you're on a date or with family. Both times we went, our servers were friendly and checked on us appropriately. Our server yesterday was handling making drinks at the bar and serving other tables that were there for Valentine's Day, but she still provided us with really good customer service (not sure of her name but she was wearing a pink shirt). We ordered a few drinks that included a strawberry horchata with rum, and a special one for Valentine's Day called the cupids kiss. They really stood out to me with how cute and yummy they were. For an appetizer, we ordered birria French fries. I was surprised that it had the consommé because I assumed it would make the fries soggy.... But it did not! They were AMAZING. The birria was tender and delicious, the flavor had a lot of depth in the consommé. For our entrees, we both cannot get enough of the short rib enchiladas with the mole sauce. They are our favorite. I really am just grateful that there is a restaurant like this that cares about the food they share with their customers. In the past, we ate at restaurants for my birthday where they didn't take as much pride or care about what they served. My birthday dinner at La Mesa felt very special to me and my boyfriend. Thanks a bunch we look forward to our return visit!
