“ There isn't a better place around for good food, great drinks, and an even better atmosphere! The staff here makes you feel like family and are always incredibly attentive! The food is out of this world and I have ordered almost everything on the menu and haven't been let down a single time. From the management to the wait staff - everyone cares about your experience and as someone who has come in to dine over 100 times, they'll get 1000 more out of me!! ”
“ Great experience. Definitely call ahead if you can. We dinned outside by the fountain around 5:30 on Friday. We loved the Mesa Guac it was a great twist on the food. Definitely recommend the appetizers. ”
“ This place is Awesome!!! We went on Burrito special day, I had the best steak burrito, and it was huge, only 10 bucks. Steak was super tender and flavorful. Guacamole was fresh and the chips were the best I ever had. Definitely a go too! Server was super kind, and attentive. ”
“ La Mesa is a nice modern Mexican style Restaurant. Its well worth your time and money. The restaurant looks really nice but of course it's an upscale Mexican restaurant- we're in St. Charles . The food is good and tasty. The appetizers were awesome the Ceviche and camarones were pretty darn good. The Skirt steak and shrimp Fajitas were yummy . The service and hospitality top notch . The margaritas are great a little small but very good. Really good! ”
“ Delicious food, with plenty of vegetarian options. Our entire meal was fantastic. The cauliflower, pictured below, especially delicious. My one wish is that La Mesa had a vegetarian option for their tacos. ”
“ Excellent margaritas here! Especially when it's happy hour. Fajitas are flavourful. Had tacos and burritos here as well. Salsa selection is a great feature just wish the chips were a little less greasy. Olivia is a fantastic bartender. The owner also can make great margaritas. The hostess is super nice. ”
“ We've eaten here a few times as a family and recently decided to host a family event here as well. Service was great (shout out to Jill) all around. From booking the venue and getting set up, they were readily available. One thing I would call out is they were awesome with handling food allergies for one member in our party. Even made them something separate to ensure it was free of allergens and no cross contamination. I would really recommend this place for a date night or an event! ”
“ Had lunch here and the food was very flavorful and delicious. They have a ton of choices. We had the traditional guacamole, shrimp fajitas, barbacoa tacos, and steak fajitas. All were delicious. Atmosphere was amazing. Price was fair. We will definitely come back to try other dishes. ”
