This place is way overhyped the food is terrible and bland. Drinks are weak. The patio is nice but as a restaurant the food should be top priority and it is not here. The service is ok. read more

This place is very popular and I can see why - the decor is trendy, the food menu is varied, and it's in a great location. We came on a Saturday around noon. It was packed, but our server was attentive and our food came out at a good pace. We shared the guacamole for an appetizer - that is seriously some of the best guac I've ever had. Two of us also had their house margarita on the rocks - it is DELICIOUS. It's close to being competition for the restaurant that has my favorite margarita of all time. And trust me, that is a high bar. For entrees, a friend and I shared the Chin-Chin salad and Pollo Al Pastor tacos. They were kind enough to accommodate my slight pineapple allergy by putting them on the side. The Chin-Chin salad was incredible. The tacos were good too. Another friend got the Taco Salad and said it was good as well. The area is pretty busy so parking can be difficult, but they do offer valet. Overall, a great experience here. They don't currently take reservations and keep in mind that it's very popular, so you might have to wait for a table, but I think it's worth it. read more

Food is bland. That's why this is the rating I gave them. Cute place. Nice area. Staff was friendly. My drink was the best thing I had. The nachos only came with 4 and the meat should've been chopped up and not so tough. The brisket on my tacos was over cooked as well. It didn't taste seasoned at all. Even the salsa they brought out for the chips and salsa had barely any flavor. How do you mess up chips and salsa?! That's WILD. I ordered shrimp tacos and the shrimp was overly charred so they took them back and gave us white fish tacos which tasted a little bit better, but again lacked flavor. I added salsa verde to damn near EVERYTHING just hoping it would elevate the taste. It's a no for me. read more

I came here for cinco de mayo and the line to get in was crazy (as expected). BUT you could go get drinks from the bar and bring them outside while you wait. This place is fairly small but it's very much worth the wait! The chips and salsa are super fresh and the food was very good. Service was even good considering how swamped they were. They do valet parking read more

Pleasantly surprised- this place is so good! Everything we had was great and the margaritas are packed with a punch so be prepared :). We had the guacamole with serrano salsa and honeydew salsa on the side. Honey dew salsa was fire roasted and had a sweet flavor that mixed so well with the guacamole. We had it on the side because we have a 6 year old who can't eat spicy food. Brisket and carnitas tacos were really juicy, tender and full of flavor. Patio is very cute but if you are in the mood for air conditioning sitting inside is pretty too. Lots of windows so whether you are inside or out you will enjoy your view. read more

The food is good, service is good as well. my problem is they seem to think they have to have boom boxes around the restaurant set as blasting music. Loud so that we the guests can't talk or hear who we are talking and eating with. This restaurant is more a local family restaurant. The owners need to accept this and let the patrons enjoy the restaurant and turn down the music!! Doce Mesas would be a much better restaurant. read more

I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars solely based off the staff and how nice/welcoming they were. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and taking care of. There was a little bit of a wait because we didn't want to sit outside (100+ degrees) which was fine. Restaurant is kinda small and as soon as you walk in you're in the kitchen/bar area, interesting set up. Now for the food.... Everything we ordered was bland. Everything needed seasoning at least salt. read more

Came here on a busy Saturday evening and waited about 35 minutes for a table of 4. The inside is pretty small but they have patio seating. They have unlimited chips and salsa, but the Appetizers are certainly worth it. Highly recommend the chips and queso cuz it's worth the price! The #4 brisket taco and enchiladas were flavorful and portions are good. This place is worth the try! read more

My husband and I both ordered the taco salad for dinner, and we both woke up at the same time later that night with diarrhea. Some of the worst food poisoning I've ever had. read more

The service was excellent and the food was delish. The way they serve the guacamole was cute...they put all the ingredients on a plate and you mix it as you wish. The chips were crunchy and not greasy or overly salty. We had the mole and pozole, I also had 2 bean tostadas and they weee $9 EACH. That would be the one negative , they charge for everything so be careful when asking for extras. Great patio seating. read more

Food is pretty good. Service is horrendous. Try placing a to go order. Can't do it online, so have to call. If their phone is even working, they will put you on hold then just hang up. Try calling back, no answer or the line is busy. The above has happened about 3-4 times for me now. Shame on me I guess. read more

I don't normally write reviews for restaurants, but this one was an exception. The enchiladas were amazing and had a "home-style" feel to it. The rice and beans were good too, nothing special. But overall, the combination of these 3 made it an awesome dinner. The service was also good. Was a little busy when I went at 7 on a Sunday, but my server stayed attentive. Would go again. read more

I live in the area and have been to this restaurant multiple times with my BF. We both love it and really enjoy the roasted chicken dishes - I think "Double J" is our favorite. It's pretty healthy and the vegetables are fresh and roasted perfectly. We are hopeful this place will continue to succeed and expand its space! This would way better on the corner in place of Chuys (which is God awful). read more

Food is good; manager was extremely rude. She had some regulars who she was very warm to and seated without any issue but she was incredibly rude to us. Showed up with two; had a third planning to join. She indicated everyone needed to be present; not a problem. Third was a bit delayed so we proceeded to a table for two, which was undersized. Table behind us for 3 opened, server politely accommodated our move there so our friend could join. manager came up shortly after, took the chair, and moved it to the SIDEWALK. We told our friend not to join because we were clearly not welcome. Won't be back. I can't stress enough how disappointing this experience was and how RUDE the manager is. read more

We love this place! Go almost every week! Great taco salad and great service even with our rowdy toddlers. Best to sit on the patio.

Cinco leches cake is the bomb.com! We haven't eaten here but we picked up this cake for a birthday dinner. I should have taken a pic before but didn't get a chance to. Recommend 10/10 read more

If you're Mexican do not come here... This place was a sorry excuse for a mexican restaurant. The only good thing here was me leaving this place. The food was horrible, it was bland and one of the the enchiladas literally looked and tasted exactly like a chili dog... probably because it did have chili on it. And one of the tacos was straight flavorless ground beef, shredded cheese, and lettuce... aka a basic ass taco that white people make. Never again. read more

Always love this place, it's my moms very favorite! Always great service, lovely waiters and good food! Sometimes the food feels like it changes a bit but still good. I do wish the verde enchiladas had another a taste to mix with the verde sauce because the sauce taste got boring very quick. Maybe needed more cheese or things inside it or something but it was still good! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Excellent service and the food was artisan and plentiful. Four of us split street tacos. So good. read more

My husband and I decided to try this place (very close to home). We are in the 58-62 age range, and while this place is very spacious with plenty of seating, clean, and trendy.... I, personally don't care for that when I visit a restaurant. I also don't like the chairs - they are not comfortable for sitting at the table and eating (they are better to lounge in). PLEASE get some better chairs! The vibe and music is a little too night-club-ish for my taste, but it has a nice bar sitting area so I guess the younger crowd would like this. The food was quite good and tasty - I wish they served their salsas in large dishes rather than those tiny square condiment dishes. The chips are thick and commercial-tasting and not authentically thin and crispy (I've had better at Uncle Julio's). My husband's mole enchiladas were terrific (according to him), and my carnitas taco was great! The light cabbage slaw was great, too. I didn't care for my cheese enchilada with chili topping (waaay too salty!). Rice was meh. Staff was not very warm and welcoming - fitting for that night-club vibe. Overall, it was an ok experience, but I wouldn't want to sit inside again due to the sterile, clubbish ambiance... I'd prefer to sit outside in their garden area (maybe next time). read more

Love Doce Mesas and their staff! Best shrimp tacos and El Director margaritas! Will never turn down a chance to dine here!

Unbelievable. There were only two of us in the whole place at separate tables. I sat down and waited for a while and finally got my drink order by getting up and stopping up front where the staff was talking. Then I came back and still no menu. They had dropped off a small bowl of chips and salsa. I ate that, still no menu. I got up andwent up front and he said, "Oh are you ready to order?" I said, "no, i do not know what all you serve and you have not brought me a menu." He brought me a menu. Then a guy came in in a suit waving his arms, speaking loudly and addressing the staff rudely. I waited and "The Suit" decided to call a meeting of all the staff behind the cash register bar. Again waiving his arms and speaking spanish. I do not speak the language so not sure what his problem was but two guys went and got a ladder and reached into ceiling racks and got down a bottle of liquor and returned to the "meeting'. I still had not gotten to place my order so I put $6 dollars on the table (VERY FAIR for 15 chips and a diet coke) and I walked out. On the veranda a guy that was with the owner (the Suit") when he came in said, how did you like the food? I told him the story and he said, hey stay, I will get you served. I said, "No the 'SUIT' is very loud, threatening, and max rude. I do not want to say ANYTHING as he may take it out on the staff. He tried to get me to stay but I refused and went across the street where Chipotle had just opened. This was absolutely the most rude, bizarre and ugly exhibition by an owner/staff that I have witnessed in my 40 years of travel. read more

A very good and reliable light and airy space that's reminds me of being on vacation.. breezy with great cocktails fresh ingredients and salads to satisfy those who are health conscious.

Flavorful Ice tea and all your Tex Mex favorites. Fresh and not overly heavy. I'm a fan read more

It was such a treat to come and check this place out yesterday. I had a treat yo' self Saturday and chose this place for lunch. I arrived minutes after they opened for lunch, so I dined by myself for 15-20 minutes. The staff was really sweet and attentive. They brought out water and chips n salsa. It was really good, I found myself liking a combo of the salsas. I then ordered the Bandera to drink.... delicious and strong! Well worth it. I opted for the taco salsa for lunch. It was amazing!! It was a generous serving... Light and packed with flavor. When I asked for the check, they brought me a sample of the cinco leches cake... it was amazing! I will definitely be back and I will be ordering that cake. I highly recommend this cool and quaint restaurant. read more

Mr. Mesero has been on my bookmark list for over a year and we finally got to check it out. Let's start with the awesome service. It was a Friday night around 6:30p and as you might know, the restaurant is smaller and intimate. I was excited to be seated right away on the patio. Our server greeted us immediately and recommended some drinks. Our first round was the La Dona (which was tasty, but also tasted premade and wasn't anything special). Take my advice - skip these and go straight for the Brandon or the El Santo - both are frozen margs and involve sangria floats. They are tasty and strong! We couldn't really decide between several of the menu items, but fortunately our server was knowledgeable (and patient). We ordered each round separately, starting with the queso and tortilla soup. The queso isn't straight cheese mix - it's more like a creamy artichoke dip. The flavor is on point - very light and creamy and reminded me of an upscale version of your favorite bar's artichoke dip. Our server brought it out with traditional large tortilla chips and spooned a hunk of dip on our chips for us - pretty cool presentation! The tortilla soup was good as well - lots of flavor, plenty of goodies beyond the broth and was on the sweeter side. Up next we ordered the tacos tapatios - basically 5 (or 6?) mini barbacoa tacos drizzled with crema, peppers, cabbage and guac on the side. These were SO good. Not enough to split as a full meal between two, but certainly an awesome appetizer or bar snack to munch on if you're just having some drinks. Otherwise, order this as a meal for one - you won't be disappointed. The tacos were stuffed with plenty of barbacoa and the meat wasn't too sweet or drenched in sauce (just how I like my barbacoa). Lastly, because we were still a teensy bit hungry and had been craving the fish tacos - we asked if we could order one a la carte. Our server's response was "why not?!" - showing that they're totally about the customer experience and accommodating. He knew we were splitting the taco and to our surprise comes walking out with the taco already cut in half. Pretty impressive service! Despite being cut in half, the fish was piping hot and crispy. The taco came drizzled in what they called spicy ranch, but as a wimp when it comes to spicy foods, I can verify it wasn't spicy at all - instead it was delicious. If you like fish tacos, don't miss out. Can't wait to return to Mr. Mesero! read more

Great food, ambiance and service. The chips and guac were great and the drinks were great as well.

Love love love! The location is so fun, in the middle of all the Knox Henderson restaurants and shops. I think their outdoor patio is popular but we were too hot and on a shopping mission so we didn't want to take the time to linger and have drinks. But their margaritas looked really good-next time! The service was fast and friendly. Omar was our server-he was very nice! They will be opening a new one at the Shops of Legacy West in a month and I told him that's where my son and wife live and he said to look for him there! I loved the presentation. Even the initial chips and 3 salsas were pretty! My friend had a salad with tomatoes, hearts of palms, pecans....it was really good! I had a taste. I had the brisket tacos. They came with guacamole that was super tasty-there was enough guacamole to share! The place was packed-we went for a late lunch so didn't have to wait but it was really full. So I imagine at peak times there is a wait. Very fun place to eat and hang out. read more

Absolutely love this spot and plan to go back regularly! Amazing Mexican food. Ordered the mole enchiladas and brisket taco/enchilada combo - both were to die for!

You can tell they hand make their margaritas, no box mix, super good! Their salsas are incredible, I could not stop eating the endless (seriously endless) chips and salsa.
