La Mesa Mexican Restaurant

We're originally from San Diego and I admit I can be a bit of a Mexican food snob. La Mesa has blown me away with their flavors and drinks and amazing service. They've become my favorite local Mexican restaurant. I can't rave enough about their food, margaritas, and their wonderful staff. I love trying a new dish every time I go and last night I had their Molcajete and OMG was it delicious...like I can't stress enough how amazing it was. It was perfectly spicy without being hot and the lava bowl they serve it in was stuffed with perfectly cooked shrimp, beef, chicken, and chorizo. I reluctantly let my husband try it and his first words were OH MY GOD THAT'S GOOD! Trust us on this and give it a try. It's amazing. Also, try the Pollo a la Crema. Another delicious dish that will make your taste buds very happy. Enjoy!

My family and I came here to eat dinner. The server asked us if we wanted a shot of tequila with our meal. My wife asked how much the shot would be. He jokingly said $75 and we all laughed. We were thinking at most it was $10. When we got the bill it was $25 per shot. We were bamboozled into that. I felt like he has done this before, and should feel ashamed of himself.
