255 James St N, Hamilton, ON L8R 2L2, Canada
Mexican restaurant with gluten-free, halal, vegan and vegetarian options.
Yum!!! The food here js AMAZING and the service is very quick. My friends and I had the frijoles con carne (chili with ground beef), the red burrito with chorizo and the gringa with chicken. Everything was top notch! I also recommend the mango margarita, which was huge and really really good!
This restaurant is amazing! The staff were very nice and the service was super quick. The restaurant itself is very beautiful, with lots of fun decor. Everything looked very clean. I got the chalupa with beef. It was so good! It came with a small bit of lettuce and tomatoes as the side salad, that I just put on my chalupa. It also came with a side of guacamole, rice, and beans with cheese. I ordered a lime flavored margarita and it was huge! Very tasty and when we walked in we saw how they were making the drinks. Very fresh ingredients, and the presentation of everything was beautiful. For dessert, we got the churros. They were delicious, still warm, and they were served with caramel sauce. I will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience. Quick seating and service. Our order for 3 was a little complicated but everything arrived perfectly and was delicious! I've been here multiple times and the food and staff never disappoint 👍
DELICIOUS! The margarita is almost the size of my head! And love that they have actual mango chunks in it to eat afterwards. The Panela was AMAZING. I could eat an entire plate of only that, and their chips were so crispy and yummy too. Tamales were good and came with a side of salad, rice, bean dip, and sauces. Really loved their rice and bean dip together. Portions are pretty good too! Service was really friendly too. I’m glad my cousin brought us to this place because I love it and would definitely come back!
I discovered this charming Mexican restaurant on Google Maps, and it did not disappoint. The cozy atmosphere and enthusiastic, friendly servers made for a delightful dining experience. We started with the guacamole dip, which was incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. For our main courses, we had the Barbacoa flautas and a large chicken burrito. Every dish was absolutely delicious! The portion sizes were generous, especially the large chicken burrito, which was so big I couldn't finish it and took the rest home. Overall, our dining experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this place for its delicious food and impeccable, friendly service!
Worth every bite! I took my Father here yesterday during a day out as he loves Mexico and its dishes. Sometimes it’s hard to find the best spot that taste evokes nostalgia. We got it! Very authentic Mexican cuisine. I suggest going there if you’re craving something actually WORTH it for the price. If you love Mexico and the dishes there- each bite will bring you back. My food and appetizers (flautas) came out fresh and so warm! My Enchiladas were fresh and a dream temperature the entire time. We left happy and very fully :) Muchísimas gracias!
I am a big fan of Mexican food and it is a true gem discovery. Chicken Tamales just stole the show. The burrito was perfect and with the dip and sauce was so filling. They have corn tortilla options for most of the things and also the protein range is huge including lamb. Don’t forget to mention corn tortilla if you prefer that because the default is flour tortilla for many items.
Second Visit: So we decided to go back to this joint, and it sure did deliver some of the best dishes for its cuisine! Portions were huge, lots of flavor and a feeling of "I can probably eat this every day!" I recommend to try at least once! First Visit: Really bad customer service.. We waited outside as instructed to have a table ready, which is pretty understandable. 40 min after, it turns out that they forgot about us and we were told that they won't be able to serve us today, at 530 pm.. not even come back later nor an apology.
The staff it s super friendly. The food it s amazing Food
So amazing, really delicious quesadillas and guacamole!!! Gracias!!
Mesa never disappoints! Their lively music, the servers, the colourful art all around you, and their food, overall 10/10. I had ordered their tacos, cheese panela w/ barbaqoa meat and horchata- so very savoury, flavourful, just makes you dance while eating, type of food. Thank-you Mesa, for always making me feel good, full, and happy !
Had a bunch of food from here for a work party and the food is beyond amazing!!!!
Amazing food! Will go back highly recommend
Just had some BBQ Casadilla from Mesa and the food is out of this world. Amazing staff a pleasant atmosphere. Great recommendations by buddy Rudy and ill definitely pass it on.
The food was absolutely AMAZING! Will definitely go back. Highly recommended!
The food was good and the taste was nice. Dietary restrictions: Everything was Halal. Kid-friendliness: Baby Changing rooms were available and High chair.
Chimichanga is the best in Hamilton.
Great friendly service and delicious food.
The Pros: The beef barbacoa burrito was amazing!! Our server Nene was also so wonderful and checked up with us regularly. The mango margarita cocktail was the size of my head and delicious! The Con: The chicken tamale was so disappointing. Very very dry and it had no flavor. It was so dry that the meat/flour mixture inside cracked and fell apart when eating it.
It was a great time and lunch I had lots of fun whit my parent the food was amazing
I went here for the first time today and was not disappointed. The service was amazing and the food was delicious.
The best option for Latin food that I have found in Hamilton and its surroundings. Their prices are affordable and the service is excellent. Without a doubt, my best option for any occasion.
Delicious food, every time is a great experience.
Last night I got the speciality shrimp fajitas, honestly the best I ve ever had. Drinks are really tasty and they are very generous with the portions. The restaurant decoration is amazing, I ve noticed they now open on mondays so it s perfect for a good time with family and friends. Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian and vegan options Kid-friendliness: Baby change table and high chairs
My friends and I go here all the time for dinner and lunch. Super affordable with great staff and the food is fantastic! Must try the mojitos as well
went here for lunch, not expensive and the food is excellent, would recommend to anyone.
Mesa is our favourite place to eat as a family. The food is amazing, the best Mexican restaurant we ve ever been to. The quesadillas, nachos and chimichangas are our go to. We come here all the time and the decor and atmosphere is always great. Staff are super helpful and friendly. The restaurant is very family friendly too with good quality high chairs and a changing table in the bathroom which is super helpful for young babies. One of the best restaurants in Hamilton for sure!
Hands down my fave Mexican food in the GHTA. Moved to TO a few years ago and havent been able to find anything that even remotely compares. My partner didnt believe me when I said Mesa is the best, but we finally got back down to the city to try it, and he happily admitted I was correct in saying its the best!
We love Mesa! It s always a fabulous experience when we dine in. This time we had the chimichangas and it s such a plentiful portion and on top of that includes guacamole and beans. I love the atmosphere and the service is always efficient and very friendly. Definitely will be back again soon!
Best Mexican food you will find in the GTA. Authentic, large portions and good prices. What else do you need! Servers are always friendly and fast. I love this place.
By far the best Mexican food in Hamilton, my personal favourite is the gringa with Al Pastor chicken. Not only that but the owner and staff are all fantastic, you can t go wrong with Mesa.
I must say Mesa keeps getting better and better try their new banana leaf tamales with Mole so delicious brought a few friends that can only eat Halal and they were thankful that I introduced Mesa as a part of their restaurant experience specially because Mesa offers Halal meats. We are already planning to come back for my friends wife birthday thank you Mesa. Once again we went home happy with our tummy full.
We love this place, pozole and burrito are to die for and the vegeterian option is amazing. Best mexican in Hamilton.
The food was amazing and had great service as well
I love pozole and guacamole, and the sangrias are very good. Recommended if you are looking for Mexican food in Hamilton.
This is the best Mexican I have had in the GTA.
Parking: No on-site parking but paid municipal lots. Food
Mesa will always be my favourite Mexican restaurant in Hamilton.
Always delicious. Sometimes a bit of a wait for a table but its worth it. Friendly service and I love the tacos and, of course, the churros too. Thank you!
Food was amazing. Cant wait to go back and try some other dishes Food
this is such an authentic experience, the food was wonderful and the service is so fast. The people were so nice. Loved it definitely recommend.
Absolutely delicious, really nice interior, good service.
Veronica is truly a GEM! Tres leches was delicious!
Delicious food, great atmosphere, great staff! I have celiac disease, I react very easily, and I didnt get sick at all eating here! Most menu options can be made gluten free! Vegetarian options: Lots of great vegetarian/vegan options! Dietary restrictions: Celiac safety was 10/10!
Dietary restrictions: Halal Food
I have to say I had High hopes for Mesa and unfortunately that had me crashing down to the ground hard and fast. Let s talk about Mexican in Hamilton. Everyone LOVES places that sell tequila but is anyone actually tasting the food? I had ordered the grilled panela with my friend. The FIRST thing I noticed was the chips were SO SO stale and literally gross. I ended up eating my cheese and beef with my fork. The dip or whatever you would call it was delicious and it had a hint of saltines from the cheese that was lovely. Unfortunately, that was the only good thing on our table. We both ordered tacos, she ordered the El Pastore and I got the beef Barbacoa. The meat itself was OK. The issue I had was that this is the first time I m going into this restaurant. No one person ever suggested when we ordered oh, did you want to add pico de gallo to that? Or did you want any of these toppings and pointed out on the menu Any type of have you been here before or anything like that would ve been more helpful than absolutely no direction or questions. Anywhere I ve received tacos from I ve never had to ask for them to put pico de gallo on it. It just comes with it so getting our tacos with just meat in it was a little disappointing. Not to mention the fact my friend asked what do you think I should get, A burrito or tacos? She said I personally like tacos and that was it. No further instructions. So when our plates came with the most Un-garnished tacos I ve ever seen in my life. We were kind of surprised. The other thing that was infuriating was the fact that you try to make eye contact with the servers and nobody comes over to you. So by the time we actually decided to eat and not wait for them the server was clearing my plate with the full salad and rice on it; still I was shocked he barely asked while grabbing the plate but I honestly didn t care because I am NOT done with this review. The salad on my plate with shredded iceberg, lettuce. On top of the 2 tablespoons of iceberg lettuce was a tablespoon of what look like diced tomato. I went in with my whole fork and I bit into this lettuce; it had that horrible taste and smell you would get when you Buy a bag of lettuce from the grocery store that s pre-washed .And it sits too long in your fridge and starts to go bad. It had that funky you should ve thrown this salad out smell let s not discuss how there was absolutely not a drip of dressing on that salad. Before the restaurant tries to tell me that that lettuce was meant for my tacos, I d like to point out that on the menu it says it s a side salad. That was not side salad; that was rotten and not dressed. Needless to say, I was not a fan of the rice but I m normally not a fan of others rice to begin with. Basically flavourless kind of like a minute rice but it had a colour to it, and I took one bite and didn t touch it again. I m so disappointed. I m not just disappointed in Mesa, I m disappointed in a lot of Mexican places around here that really just don t have the quality. To name a few Mesa, the mule and the Los Mayas are just really over hyped and I think it s more the fancy drinks than anything. Mesa you were a great thought but I m never cheating on Maria s Tortas Jalisco again. She s the #1 Mexican place in Hamilton. Fresh EVERY TIME. Never a stale chip in the house! Sorry folks but this was far below my expectations and it s sad because I live around the corner and this would have been perfect if the quality of the food matched the hype of the people.
Nice restaurant, its a mixture of Mexican and Colombian cuisine.
Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. Absolute love the food. Food
Everything at MESA has always been perfection eating here feels like ur on dr^gs bcuz that s how good it is. The margaritas are made with real fruits and the raspberry one and mango and tamarind are my favourites depending on what food ur getting. I get the chimichangas and they re heavenly 100% recommend this place
Quick service, excellent food.
Great place for a meal with family.
Food was amazing and reasonably priced. Very authentic Mexican food that doesn t break the bank. All protein is halal!
We got reservations and still had to wait in line for about 15 min to be seated. Busy place , food was Okey, they forgot my drink, no biggie, just had to remind them again. Cactus salad was just coleslaw with canned Cactus peaces on top and some protein. Pulled beef was very super salty.
Amazing authentic food and drinks
fantastic always.
Huge burrito!
My review used to be a 5-star, I used to tell everyone how great Mesa is and would recommend it to everyone. Before Mesa I d recommend Mex-I-Can, their earlier restaurant. Recently it s gone super downhill. Not sure if it s new staff, or they re out of sorts after being takeout only for so long Last few days I ve TRIED to place an order for pickup but they just tell you to wait a second and then put the phone down, clearly on purpose (called a few times and they did this each time, waited 10 minutes twice) they don t mute it either so you can hear the guy and the girl at the counter just making small talk. Didn t sound like they were busy doing anything, just being lazy and not doing their job. I chose to go somewhere else. Owners FYI your front staff need some training or replacing.
Easily one of my favourite restaurants in Hamilton. The staff is friendly, the food is amazing and comes out fairly quick. I eat here at least once bi-weekly. This place will not disappoint !!
Although I rated it four stars I would like to take half a star off for service. Service was good overall however I didnt appreciate that I felt very rushed. They brought my our dinner is when we were still eating our appetizer. The server should have come by and had a look at our table to see if we were done before bringing dinner. Other than that really enjoyed it there good food, good atmosphere
Friendly staff, generous portions and delicious food!
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Food
Great portion sizes. Tasty food. Fast service. Recommend green salsa Vegetarian options: Vegetarian protein is cactus and veggies. Filling and tasty Food : 5/5 |
Their nachos are a must!
The worst Mexican restaurant, the food is bad for being so expensive, the staff is rude, I do not recommend it
First time here on Saturday and won t be the last. Food was very good. Lots of flavour.
Exceptional vibe. The atmosphere was friendly. The staff was polite. Food tasted authentic. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available here. But I wish veggies were not the same base for nachos and tacos lol. I was expecting a lot.
The place its small, but sufficient, food its OK not 100% authentical Mexican food but pretty close to.
This is hands down my favourite Mexican restaurant as their food is absolutely delicious! Atmosphere is fun and laidback!
Food is good until it gets cold :// also was not a fan of the flan - the texture was firm and I didn t enjoy it.
IF I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD GIVE IT BUT THE APP WONT LET ME, IM MEXICAN AND THE FOOD EL ALPASTOR TASTE LIKE CHICKEN AND ITS VERY SWEET, THE TRUTH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EVEN A MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND BESIDES ITS STAFF IS VERY BAD I LIKE THE TRUTH IT IS A FRAUD NOTHING TO SEE THE RESTAURANT VERY DARK THE ATMOSPHERE Wheelchair accessibility: not there
Everything was top notch. The restaurants drive towards customer service and their commitment to quality showed in their dishes. Everything was beautiful. Was super impressed with everything and will definitely visit again.
The nachos was far too deepfried for my taste. Same with the taco - very grrasy and oily. Side salad was mediocre, similar to macdonalds.
Always a good experience. The best Mexican joint in Hamilton!
Best Mexican food I have had in a long time! I got the birra enchiladas and wasn t disappointed. Could have eaten a second portion straight away. Service is a little slow.
Amazing mexican cuisine. Their burritos are some of the best in the city. They also serve papusas and tamale, which are hard to find. And churros. They have churros!
Great food, great atmosphere, great service! I would defiantly come back here. My friend got the quesadilla and I forget the name of what I ordered but it was some sort of deep with beef on top. 10/10
Very tasty food, nice atmosphere, service is very good
Love this place.
So glad they have halal options!!!
Great service, food and ambiance!
Good food, fair prices, great service!
Fantastic Mexican restaurant!
The best Mexican I ve had. The burritos are amazing in both taste and value.
Excellent food and great friendly staff
Fast service, great food and delicious mojitos
The food was wonderful, it was delicious and there were lots of options on the menu. My only criticism is that for the taco plate I would rather have had three tacos instead of two and no rice/beans/salad on the side. Will definitely go back and just a note: theres a whole other dining room that you cant see from windows/street so even if it looks full theres likely still open tables you cant see.
We love this place but its slipping the last few months. We love a few of their main dishes like the burrito, the gringa and a couple of others. But this time we thought to try the nachos and salsa for the first time. Expecting simple fresh crispy nachos and some cool salsa with an abundance of tomatoes, onions etc... What we got was stale tortia chips and a salsa that wasnt cold and fresh with onions tomatoes etc but rather a warm tomato sauce with sporadic tomatoes and onion floating around in the cup ... Couldnt even scoop up any tomatoes or onions and best we can do was get a wet dipped chip in some sort of tomato sauce used for the burrito. Unbelievable.. total waste. Something is going south there in the past few months and it kills me to write this negative review because some of their other main dishes are excellent and great value and flavor. Get back to your A game, Mesa.
What a place to get halal Mexican authentic food.
Being Canadian I never knew what Authentic Mexican cuisine was until my husband cooked for me and took me to some amazing authentic Mexican restaurants. Mesa, unfortunately was not one of them. I loved the atmosphere but we were all disappointed with the food :( will not be back.
Too loud and the server doesn t tell you that the gratuity is included. Shameful
The food is out of this world and the staff are so much fun to interact with. I had to adjust my belt and (I wish I remembered her name) and a server asked how s the food? She seen me adjusting and she (and myself broke out in laughter) then I spilled water on myself. Luckily she (again) said I wont tell a soul. This place is awesome.
Server presented my bill without letting me know of the 18% tip included. Many in my group tipped on top of this total....terrible scam... Food
This place keeps getting better & better. Nachos to start then burrito. Aside, A HORCHATA to sip........DELICIOUS!!!
Fantastic spot!
Tasty Mexican food, with many options and they can customize it for you if you have any food restrictions. You would be surprised how big this restaurant is as it has a room at the back too. Decorations will make you feel like you are in Los Cabos. Our server was great and managed to make our large group happy. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options plus they can customize it for you. Dietary restrictions: They will customize food for you to make sure it fits your dietary restrictions.
Great
Its good. I enjoyed it
Love this! Been here 5-6x and it s amazing every time. The staff are wonderful!!
Lunchtime and I had an enchilada, it came with refried beans and rice. The enchiladas were very good. Parking: Its very hard to get parking on James St. This is the biggest drawback for dinning here.
Good mexican restaurant
After hiking the nearby waterfront trail my companion and I stopped in at Mesa for a late lunch. We were seated promptly and the restaurant started to fill up a little more after we arrived. The ambiance and decor is pleasing and congruent with a Mexican theme. We both ordered the chimichangas, one with chorizo and the other with barbacoa, spicy. The food arrived and it was fresh and delicious. The hot sauce atop the chimichangas was spicy and had great depth of flavour. The barbacoa and chorizo tasted authentic and together with the rice, which was very well cooked and seasoned, was an extremely good combination and tasted delicious. The prices were very reasonable and we found it to be great value. The cheese inside the tortilla bound everything together very well without an overpowering cheesy taste which allowed the flavours of each item inside the tortilla to be appreciated. The beans were very tasty but the guacamole was lemony and lacked depth of flavour. Both sides were served with minimal pita chips which necessitated a need to order another side of pita chips for $4.50. Additionally, a serrated edged knife would have been better at cutting the tortilla. The service was a little inattentive and twice I needed to get up to request additional items. Overall a nice experience and might be back to try another dish.
Very cool spot for amazing Mexican food. Get the large burrito and you will not be disappointed. Make sure to start the menu with a drink as well. Lots of great beverages to go along with the food ... Tequila is always a great way to start a meal.
Authentic Mexican dishes made with great care. Apart from the amazing food, the service is great. Everyone pops by the table to say hello and make sure that things are looked after. Its been a great experience every time weve been and why we keep coming back. ¡Nosotros amor Mesa!
I love Mesa not only for the good food, but because they are so on top of food allergies. Everything is always spot-on and they have the best guak. Great nacho chips. Great selection on the menu. Highly recommend
Nice little mexican eatery in the heart of Hamilton. If you want spice, Id recommend skipping mild and medium levels. Service was nice, just a little slow.
big serving and prices not too bad
Ive been to Mesa a few times, and each time, the food has been delicious. Its fresh and authentic, with lots of flavour. I love the tacos, chicken, rice, and beans. Its all good!
If you have allergies please reconfirm they actually listened when you get your food. I was given a gluten burrito when I ordered gluten free. Unfortunately I had already taken a few bites before my sons arrived and it didn t look the same. They replaced my dinner which I took home in a box because I was so sick already. The waitress didn t care and although we were told the owner would come over - they never did. Three days sick in bed and I didn t even receive an apology. Dietary restrictions: Be careful with dietary restrictions- they say they offer items but are obviously not careful and when they make an error they don t even offer an apology
Absolutely love this restaurant! Our go to meals are the Enchiladas. Always fresh and delicious. The service is always fast and friendly.
It is one of the very best Mexican restaurants Ive been in Ontario. Food, drinks, atmosphere, service, cleanness (including the washrooms), and price.... all FIVE STARS!! Congrats on the attention to details. When visiting Hamilton, Ill be back!!
On a pleasant evening with my wife and friends, we discovered Mesa Restaurante and were delighted with the experience they gave us. From the moment we entered, the cozy and elegant atmosphere enveloped us, preparing us to enjoy an unforgettable evening. The culinary excellence that characterizes Mesa Restaurante left us speechless. We were able to delight ourselves with exquisite halal Mexican dishes, a unique combination that pleasantly surprised us. Additionally, the variety of vegetarian options available for my vegetarian friend demonstrates the restaurants commitment to the satisfaction of all its diners. The impeccable and attentive service we received throughout the evening was simply exceptional. The staff paid attention to every detail, making sure our experience was unparalleled. In short, if I could give stars to Mesa Restaurante, I would give them a million without hesitation. I deeply appreciate the entire team for making our visit a memorable experience and for exceeding our expectations in every aspect. Thank you, Mesa Restaurante, for an unforgettable evening!
The server was talking to us in English (Which I don t have problems with) but what really annoyed us was that we asked her if she spoke Spanish and she confirmed but she said she was speaking in English so we can learn. (???) I wanted to eat Mexican food, not get educated.
Love coming here with my family, we always have a great time! Delicious food and attentive staff that always makes our night out an enjoyable one.
The food was really good, service is poor and very condescend, we had this Colombian server very impolite and rude, pls do something about her service, she is more than rude against the Latin community, what is fun due her background and the background of the restaurant lol.
Most of the menu is gluten free! Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu is gluten free and waiters are very knowledgeable about gluten free options Food : 5/5 |
So nice and very good
I ordered a large red burrito with a corn tortilla with medium heat sauce. Came to the table very quickly and hot! Tasty and the portion was huge! Great spot for lunch, Ill definitely eat here again!
It was recommended and now I am passing it on publicly. This is a MUST go if you think you know anything about Mexican cuisine. I was missing authentic and I was not disappointed. All the staff were friendly and courteous. They went above and beyond to help my youngest enjoy the food.
dont understand the hype about this place. it is unnecessarily expensive and the staff was quite rude, the restaurant looks pretty unclean and shabby, the toilet had a permanent stink. the food was extremely bad. the menu offered pupusas - cheese, cheese and chicken but when we asked the server he said no it is either chicken or cheese, but when we showed him the menu said something else, he simply declined. when giving him our food choices, I had no idea if he was listening to me or not, he looked somewhere else while taking our order. we got guacamole in starters which costed almost $17 and they got us a big plate of nachos with a tiny portion of guac. the pupusas were good (ergo the 1 star), and the enchiladas came after we reminded him (20 min later). it was cold, full of just lettuce. Amigos in Hesss village is so much better in terms of food, cleanliness and server attitude.
Very nice place!!
Large burrito with green tomatillo sauce was MASSIVE! Nicely seasoned and generous toppings. A steal for <$20. They ve got an extensive menu worth exploring. Also happy they had a vegetarian burrito as an option.
I was very disappointed in the food It was busy but not too busy which was fine but we found hair in the chicken tacos And the response was disappointing to say the least
Delicious food and a lively atmosphere, great for a date night or a night out with friends! Has maintained its already high standard of excellence in taste, and in fact has improved upon it.
Amazing food!
We had a great experience here! We had a starter, 2 meals and dessert all for a very reasonable price. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Service was great. I would definitely recommend checking it out and we will certainly be going back Vegetarian options: Seemed like most of the menu could be made vegetarian Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu had a gluten free option
Everything was very delicious, excellent service and customer attention. The dishes come in good portions! Excellent atmosphere. Everything was delicious, excellent customer service!
Excellent nachos and burritos. Bit disorganized with reservations.
Food was fantastic. Service was great and the food was quick. We had a great time
Best Mexican in Hamilton. Authentic, delicious, and large portions. Lime margarita was yummy and the chimichanga was excellent!!
To many words to describe UTTERLY fantastic in so many ways . Price staff, food , atmosphere. What an incredible experience everytime
Absolutely delicious food tasty hot good service will Def go back
Had to wait a bit to get served as they were busy but food came out almost immediately and drinks were pretty good.
I ve been going to this place for over 8 years and it s not like it used to be. They used to bring you complimentary nachos with guacamole and salsa. They didn t. We asked for some salsa and they brought nachos with some warm runny sauce. Not sure what it was. It seemed like the sauce they put on your dinner plate. We asked the waitress but didn t really understand what she explained it was. That was $10 We had margaritas and were pretty much juice with ice. I don t think they even put tequila in, and for sure we didn t ask for virgin drinks. They cost us about $10 each. The food was bland we asked for mild spice. It had no flavour. The waitress didn t come to check on us we had to flag down different waiters to get some help. We will not return, I was very disappointed in the food.
AMAZING! Great service, Food, atmosphere. Hamilton is really lucky to have Mesa. I drive from Burlington to visit Mesa and always get my Chimichanga with Barbacoa, spicy, my Margarita and Churros. Thank you Mesa!
Take out. Food was good. Vegetarian options: Guacamole, the rice bowel Food : 5/5 |
One of my favourite destinations for Mexican food!
It was OK...First time there and I dont need to go back
Had a lovely time there tonight on a family outing. We had tamales, enchiladas, nachos, and chimichanga. All were wonderful. Weve been missing the taste of authentic Mexican and Mesa did not disappoint us. The hot sauce is to die for.
Mexican restaurant lacking some basic flavours, some items on the menu are good, some are totally not mexican, e.g., pupusas, and the enchiladas are absolutely not in the way they are served in Mexico, also strange that Pastor is made with chicken, the original one is with pork another thing, no limes! I order a lime and got a quarter of a lime, anyaway, good place if you don t know the authentic mexican food
Love the food. The nachos could feed an army... Margaritas are on point.. And the quality of their dishes is superb
Prepare to be hungry!!! Prices are good and portions are perfect for when you are hungry. The salsa is awesome and hot is Infact hot!!! We tried a bunch of things and everything was awesome!!! Place has a great vibe and atmosphere and staff are nice. This place wins you in the food and steak slaps harder than the chicken in my opinion. Burrito over chimichanga in my opinion and chorizo is next on my list. Refried beans are life!!! And we will be back!!!
This was probably the best mexican food I ve had outside of Mexico. Incredible ingredients and very authentic. Despite the place being absurdly packed with customers on a Saturday night (I ll consider that a good thing), we walked in and only waited about 10 minutes for a table and our food was also served timely. The staff were incredible and the entire restaurant was run like a well oiled machine.
Service was good, the food wasnt as flavourful as some Mexican I have had in the US. My wife and I both thought it needed some zip, a bit of acidity somehow.
The food was amazing and portions were incredible for the price. Great atmosphere as well. Will definitely return for more delicious food
I went to eat with a friend and the truth is the food was ugly, it tasted like it was overheated, and the beans were burnt. Very bad taste honestly
Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs for smaller children Food
100%. Fast, friendly and accurate service. Elegant and fun atmosphere. Food was on point. Amazingly delicious. Perfect place for our small birthday celebration. We will be back.
First time. I dont know much about Mexican food, but I loved the experience, hence 4 stars.
Its so far the best Latin American restaurant in Hamilton, you wont regret about anything
Found the servings (quesadilla) quite small compared to what other restaurants have served
Amazing food (love the guacamole and burrito with cactus)! The service is great and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommend!
Food is good, service is great and the price is reasonable. Try one of their Margarets, they are very tasty.
Food was excellent as always! Still one of the best restaurants in town!
We were a group of 4 and everyone loved their meals! The burritos were amazing and very authentic. Would definitely recommend this place for the food, atmosphere and great service! Also, the sangria was awesome Vegetarian options: Good options Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating.
Great food. Lots of space for larger groups.
My second visit. Was just as amazing as my first. The food is top notch. The staff is great!
Loved the ambience, food is both affordable and extremely tasty! Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options, and burrito is a must try Food : 5/5 |
Really enjoyed the food, location and inside of this place!
Wheelchair accessibility: happy Food
Wonderful Gem on James Street!!
Delicious and generous meal portions. Very artfully displayed on the plate. I would definitely recommed this restaurant. The forks were not sharp enough to cut through the bottom of the Quesadillas. It was a real fight to slice it The ladies washroom was very dimly lit and a few nails were sticking out of the wall over the sink where a mirror used to be. They did supply some feminine hygiene products which was very thoughtful. Wheelchair accessibility: The washrooms are down a steep set of stairs. I dont think there is an elevator.
ive been once this is a 5 star restaurant from the atmosphere to the service the food and drinks it is priced appropriately for the quality and portion of food my server was amazing and the restaurant setup is everything very well done can t wait to go back <3 best adult drink ive been served in a longgg time!
If you want to experience real Mexican food you can get just that at Mesa Restaurant in Hamilton. We went there last evening and was amazed at the food and the decor, I must say the service was definitely a five star. The price did not break the bank and the portions were generous, oh yes!!! The Restaurant was spotless, definatly going back. Elizabeth and Jo
Awesome place. Great tasting ethnic food and friendly staff.
Party of 6. Everyone ordered something different and we all enjoyed our meals. Service was excellent.
Never ever have we been disappointed coming to Mesa. The food is always fresh and incredible, The margaritas are so tasty and the staff are always friendly and helpful and the prices are more then fair. You cant go wrong, 10/10 recommend. Vegetarian options: There are excellent vegan and vegetarian options!
Great flavours! Cant wait to go back!
Pretty good! The food portions are large and fair. There is a vegetarian option for almost all the items. Got the green burrito which was a little messy but very tasty. Tried the horchata with malibu and it was a delicious addition to the meal. I have come a few times during busy dinner hour and service can be a little slow but not bad at all! We always come here whenever we want mexican food
Mesas service was very good, the atmosphere is very nice and the food was not fantastic but pretty good. Being used to real Tex-Mex I thought it did lack a bit of flavour. The Churros were however excellent. Would I go back, yes I would.
