La Mesa Mexican Restaurant

My partner and I eat at La Mesa on 110th and Maple Street, but they were closed for repairs so we went to this location. The atmosphere is is okay. I was somewhat surprised by the service. Someone brought us some chips and salsa which was great. The server came by and took our order and she was okay but seemed hurried. So the order went in and then she came back a few minutes later and asked if we were ready to order and then realize that. Oh yes we had already ordered. The food seem to take a long time to come out. And unfortunately what it did there were two problems. I fellow diner had ordered the fajitas in all beef and they came out with chicken and beef combo. He had to ask for the tortillas to go with them, and his refried beans were very cold. I actually checked to make sure it was. My tacos were fine, my refried beans were not as cold but they were not the normal hot serving temperature. I'm going to hope this was just a one-off day because they did seem busy which might have been because of the other unit being closed. Definitely will give this location a second try.

My beef nachos here tonight were exceptional! The Steak burrito that my husband had was amazing! The queso sauce and salsa were absolutely out of this world and would order all this again! The margaritas we're amazing 'the finest of Omaha' resposado tequila were incredible! We came here because of a gift card and will definitely come back again! Thank you Henessie(sp?) for great and quick service as it was a busy Saturday night.

We ordered family style tonight for take out. This family style thing is one of the better things to come out of Covid-19. We got 12 chicken enchiladas suiza style(with all the toppings) rice, beans, chips and salsa. It stayed warm for the trip home to Waterloo. Once it got here it didn't last long though. Everyone enjoyed the meal, even my picky eaters 🤣 I hope they keep the family meal deals around forever. We will definitely order this again.

Food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the molcajete and I wasn't disappointed. It must have been heated in a volcano because it came out so temperature hot, but after it cooled off it didn't dissapointed. I had never had this type of dish before and the presentation was neat. The restaurant was clean as well as the bathrooms. The server was initially quick and friendly, but shortly became nearly non existent. I'm sure he was overwhelmed with tables, but the whole experience took mich longer than necessary. I ended up seeing the manager help out later but she still never came to our table to time the checks and collect payment. Overall had a good experience and if I'm ever in the area I would visit again. Hopefully next time I could enjoy some margaritas!
