Shauna Angel Blue (Shauna of the Star)
First of all ask for. Skyler. What a fantastically authentic person. His presence made my dining experience which was wonderful.

Wonderful service and the food had vivid colors that grabbed your attention, and the flavors were there. Sat outside by the fountain, despite the construction going on, the atmosphere was lovely. Prices are a bit high, but comparable to other restaurants in that area.

The service was good. The food was okay, I highly recommend their margaritas. The guacamole and chips are a must. Most of their food is spicy. Did not like the appetizers, we got the corn fries and Mexican rolls (too bland)

So we enjoyed ourselves and it’s a really cute and fun restaurant but our apps were better than our meals. We got Baja Tacos, Mahi Mahi tacos, Flautas, and Tinga Tacos. They were all alright. Nothing really special about the food. However, for appetizers we got Elote Fries (2 orders because they were so good),Chips and Salsa, and Ceviche which was all excellent. There were 7 of us and it was plenty for us all to share. So were the dinner entrees because they won’t let you get tacos a la cart. You have to get the three taco meal. I probably wouldn’t be back, but I still suggest it. Maybe we just came on an off night?

My group dined in on a busy Taco Tuesday (4 for $10, but you cannot mix and match) evening. The hostess at front warned us in advance, but we ended up waiting 45 minutes for our food to be served. Our server was forgetful (one of my friends had specific requests due to certain dietary restrictions), but he was nice and made up for it by giving us queso and salsa on the house. Which brings me to my next point, La Mesa has the BEST TORTILLA CHIPS I’ve ever had!!!! I’m literally craving them as I’m writing this review. They’re thicker chips with amazing texture. The air pockets lend to an almost flaky tortilla chip, and they are seasoned well.

It has been a couple year since we have eaten here. Previously had a good memory of this place but it sure has changed. The waiter and the guacamole were great but thats about it. The initial serving plates given to us were dirty. Literally stuff stuck on the plates. The bathroom was also gross. Then came the tacos. A dinner serves 3 tacos, they have 15 types to choose from but no longer allow you to pick 3 different, they all have to be the same. We ordered 3 different and all shared to get around the limitation…. all agreed they we not that good. Too salty, greasy, etc. It ended up being a very expensive bill for one round of drinks and tacos. I rarely post bad reviews…..ugh.

Great experience. Definitely call ahead if you can. We dinned outside by the fountain around 5:30 on Friday.

Our server Billy had only been there for about 3 weeks we felt that he was exceptionally knowledgeable about the food and the products that we had inquired about he was surely busy but it didn’t show when he came to our table he gave us his full attention. We never felt rushed at all. it was just nice to see a such a nice young man doing what he simply enjoyed

Super great meal this was probably 5th or more time going. Drinks can be a tad high but are delicious. Tacos are all pretty great. I got Tuna and Chilango to go and now eating those for breakfast. Tuesday is half off tacos. Tuna was good but I’d prefer if they cut up the pieces of tuna but it’s a small critique. We got the hot salsa and bean dip both good hot salsa was the right hot did not bring tears.

The food looked great and the staff was nice but everything I ate was just bland. I’d give them another try, however. Maybe the flavor town guy/gal was out that night.
