" Best breakfast burrito in town! I have been disappointed with most breakfast options lately but this place really nails it. The bacon is crispy, the potatoes are fluffy, and the whole burrito is fantastic. Highly recommend to anyone who loves breakfast. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves coming here for dinner. The portions are huge, and everyone can find something to eat. I particularly like the carne asada nachos—they're loaded with toppings! The environment is lively and the service is fantastic, which keeps us coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been searching for a good place for something authentic and La Mesita truly delivers. I am obsessed with the fish tacos; they are crispy, fresh, and really flavorful. The salsa bar is an added bonus for customizing your tacos. I will most definitely be coming back frequently! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand the hype around this place. The food was acceptable, but nothing extraordinary. The carne asada was bland and lacked seasoning. The restaurant itself was clean and the service friendly, but for excellent Mexican food, I wouldn't make a special trip back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I could rate La Mesita higher! The quality of their food is outstanding. The carne asada fries were delicious and the service was just as good. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a great spot to eat with friends or family. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found La Mesita to be a pretty average experience overall. The food was good, but not as memorable as I had hoped. Service was attentive though, and the vibe was nice. I would suggest trying it at least once. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible food! The camarones a la diabla is a must-try, spicy and packed with flavor. I can't wait to bring my friends here. They have definitely earned a repeat visit from me. " (*Curated Review*)
