Customer Reviews
Been really curious and thrilled to come here to taste the Filipino-Latin American food given my cultural background. However, it was not was I was expecting. I ordered liempo and along with the description it says “sizzling pork belly”. False advertisement, it was not sizzling. It came with “Spanish” yellow rice and salad. Rice was also not my type. I’d say it was more of a Greek rice than a Spanish one. The pork was juicy yet tastleless. We also ordered Siopao which also didn’t match the description. Server was good and attentive though. Overall, I was just not satisfied with my food expectation here after the hype. Definitely did not live and taste how it tasted back home.
The food is fantastic. We’ve tried all the burritos and they’re all delicious. The chips aren’t salty!! (Huge plus for me) Maduros are soft and sweet. Tostones are nice and crispy. The staff is super friendly. They really take their time making quality food. I absolutely loveeee it here. Would highly recommend.
This place never disappoints! The portions are amazing, you definitely get your money’s worth every time. Everything is always fresh and filling. On top of that, Angel at the front counter is seriously the best. He was kind, patient, and super helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, great service, and a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend
A Delicious Experience La Mesa! If you're looking for an elevated take on Central American cuisine, look no further than La Mesa. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a stylish yet comfortable vibe. The food was absolutely spectacular. Every dish was a delightful combination of bold flavors and expertly crafted ingredients. The ribs were true highlight – perfectly balanced and bursting with authenticity. And all the side dishes are a hit! Make sure to try the guac; very fresh! You can tell a lot of care went into each plate, and it really shows in the presentation and taste. The service was impeccable too. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, taking the time to explain the menu. Will be returning soon!!
One long table that seats about 12 and 1 small table that seats 2 in the dining area. Counter service. The chicken adobo, ribs and salmon were my favorites. Food was amazing. Loved the halo halo. Extremely reasonably priced for the amount of food you get.
