    Large bone found in food
    Whitney W.

    I went to La Mesa for lunch today, I ordered the chicken quesadilla-the appetizer-and I found a large bone in my quesadilla. It was as big as the prongs on the fork, so not a small piece. It completely ruined my appetite and I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon.

    Came in on a Monday to enjoy some drinks and conversation with friends, sat on the patio. Beautiful weather was calling us. Chips and salsa are great. The ceviche was amazing as an appetizer. I ordered the mango fish, it was good, the mango salsa tasted great, the veggies were a little done. The fajita taco salad was very good, plenty of meat very filling. No one had any complaints. Everything was great. It started raining, and we had to move inside. Alicia was awesome. She took great care of us. Prices are great too. Will visit again

    Food was good, so was the service. We ordered 1 sangria margarita and got another for free. It was nice but we couldn't finish the extra drink. We were seated right away. Got our food fast. Everyone seemed nice. Inside was nice, clean, packed but still lots of room to move and walk.

    Shrimp Chimichanga

    I went there this past Sunday with family for dinner. It was our first visit and I was really impressed with the service. Endless chips and fresh salsa and refills on drinks. The food was great, ordered the shrimp chimichanga, it was well seasoned and came with beans and rice, along with guacamole and sour cream. I will be back soon.

    Very good Mexican. Great local spot playing Spanish music. Loved it. Sat at the bar towards the end of the night so there was a bit of a delay getting service. But after I found someone, service was pretty fast. I ordered the queso because an acquaintance said it's the best in town. It was really good and so was the salsa. Salsa didn't taste homemade but it was still good. I ordered the shrimp chimichanga. I usually get a quesadilla at all Mexican restaurants but decided to go out on a limb and try something knew. Totally tasted like a quesadilla. Lol. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. The fajita vegetable mix was seasoned very well. Yum yum yum. NOW for the show stopper. The Rice and beans OMG!!!! So good. I inhaled the rice and beans and didn't get a picture. I ate them all before I even tasted the shrimp chimichanga. Absolute recommend!

    The food was not authentic and had a weird taste. The servi e was also very slow although the place was packed. Maybe I'm too picky

    Very busy but extremely fast service. The team was very friendly and helpful. The food was good. And the hot salsa has the best flavor.

We got the lunch combo #1 which was a taco and enchilada with either rice or beans (cheese enchilada and shredded beef taco) and a shredded beef chimichanga with both rice and beans. The salsa that came out was delicious and fresh; same with the chips. Best salsa and queso in the enchilada that I have ever had. The shredded beef was tender beef cubes with an amazing flavor.

Our waitress disappeared shortly after taking our order and, from what we were told, left to get herself a Red Bull. Meanwhile, my husband and kids waited about 10 minutes before they even got their drinks, and we were rarely checked on after that. The food wasn't much better. The steak was extremely tough and difficult to eat, especially for the price. Because service is a big part of the dining experience, we chose not to leave a tip. We believe tips are earned through good service, and unfortunately, we didn't receive that. As we were leaving, our waitress asked if something was wrong. My husband is an honest person, especially when someone asks directly, so he politely explained our experience. Instead of apologizing or trying to make things right, she yelled, "Well, don't come back!" We had already decided we wouldn't be returning, but that response confirmed we made the right decision. Everyone has bad days, and we understand that. However, poor service followed by an unprofessional reaction to honest feedback is not acceptable. Sadly, we won't be back.

I've eaten there for years, but one of my recent stops made me realize it's more than just the food. Please read on.... An immigrant showed me friendship in food, even though I was a stranger. The place was packed and the only open table was where the workers sit. I was by myself, but one of the restaurant workers came up with her lunch and gestured to me if she could sit at the table. I smiled and said "Si." I noticed she was eating birria tacos with consomme and it looked delicious. She saw me and laughed, said something in Spanish which I think translated into "Would you like some birria and consomme?" I nodded yes and she went back to the kitchen and returned with a small container. You can tell from the video the broth was rich, the birria was tender and fatty (but in the best way)! I tried to convey to her it was great and thank you. She asked me something in Spanish and I could only respond in a gringo "Que'?" I finally used Google Translate and she was asking if I worked nearby. I was dressed in my blue collar clothes! I used the App to tell her I drove in from my part of town and she smiled and laughed. I think she understood how much I loved eating at Don Antonios, because I would drive at least 25 minutes to eat there. If she only knew I'm there every week! This experience reinforced what I already knew. Immigrants are kind and caring people. Just like my grandparents when they arrived in America before WWII. I also know what my family and I have experienced when you don't look like the majority.... Just my two cents and a tip of the hat to an immigrant who showed me friendship in food, even though I was a stranger.

You order at the end of the counter and then follow the line of diners to the cash register to pay.
