Mesita absolutely lives up to the hype. From the moment we walked in, I couldn't stop looking…read morearound. The restaurant is stunning--the entire space is designed to feel like you're wandering through a rustic Mexican village, complete with beautiful trees throughout the dining room that are wrapped in twinkling lights. The atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit, and the live mariachi band was the perfect finishing touch without overpowering the conversation.
The food was just as impressive as the ambiance. We started with the Queso Fundido Skillet, which was rich, cheesy, and disappeared from the table almost immediately. For drinks, I tried both the frozen peach margarita and the passion fruit margarita on the rocks, and both were fantastic. The peach was refreshing and perfectly blended, while the passion fruit had a great balance of sweetness and citrus. My dad loved his watermelon margaritas as well.
For dinner, I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which were flavorful, comforting, and cooked perfectly. My dad had the shrimp enchiladas and couldn't stop talking about how good they were. My husband ordered the chicken skillet along with a shrimp taco and a fish taco, and every bite was a hit. It's rare for every single dish at the table to impress, but Mesita pulled it off.
Of course, we couldn't leave without dessert, and the churros were the perfect ending to an incredible meal--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served warm.
The service was friendly, attentive, and helped make the entire experience even better. Between the gorgeous atmosphere, delicious food, excellent cocktails, live entertainment, and outstanding service, Mesita delivered on every level. This is the kind of place you go for a special night out but end up wanting to return to again and again. I can't wait to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu.
