I was visiting from Raleigh & was craving Mexican food for dinner. This place hit the spot. The chips, salsa & Margarita were a great start. I also really enjoyed my dinner --- burritos topped with cheese sauce. I would totally go back to La Mesa when I am in town again.Parking: Parking in the lot was easy.

Great food good service loud atmosphere. Maybe think about investing in some sound dampeners?? I would for the sake of your demographic with hearing aids they walk in and it's an instant headache until they can get em turned down to a lower volume. Other than that this restaurant was good.Wheelchair accessibility: No handicap accessible doors.

This was my first time ordering pickup from la mesa during lunch. I went inside to pickup my food on my lunch break. A man was taking my payment and was nice but when he sent the young lady to the back to correct the size sauce she had brought out for my order she looked at me and rolled her eyes directly at me. She did this in front of the manager taking my payment. She then proceeded to walk towards the back & said ‘oh my god! Ha ha ha’, trying to be sarcastic based on her grin when she looked at me once more after blurting this out. When this happened I looked at the manager, seeing if he was going to say something about her behavior, but he never did. The man was nice but he didn’t handle that situation very well!! I believe the young lady DOESN’T need to be in the customer service/restaurant industry if this is how rude she always is to the customers! I hope she doesn’t treat all of the customers that walk through their doors the same way! I will not be going back to eat there, solely because of the treatment/attitude received Today!!

Not too bad. Good portion sizes. I liked the salsa better than most places. My girlfriend thinks the exact opposite.

Daaanng that Alhambra plate is killer! I came in here by happenstance, and I'm glad I did. Waiting on getting a new phone gave me time for dinner. This dish was "fajita-ish", but saucy... umami saucy. Go, eat this, and you tell me... oh yeah! The black beans are the best I've had anywhere, and that includes Puerto Rico!

Held the door open for our family and greeted with a smile. Everything was absolutely wonderful!
Not a bad spot. Portions were a little smaller than I was expecting for a Mexican restaurant but the flavors were excellent.

Food was good and the portions were great! The service was good too. Atmosphere was what you'd expect for a mid day lunch. Pretty chill. The entertainment was this man on his phone talking to what must be presumed as his son-in-law. Telling him to get off his butt, and get a job. Basically, ?

The food was really good. The server we had was super attentive. Things came out quickly. Oh and they have a nice variety of margaritas. The building is a little older, I didn't have a problem with it but it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
