    The food is mediocre at best. The bartenders will always take care of you. The ambience is very low-key. The tacos are always cold., but the Rita's are rocking! The wing are the some of the best in The valley!

    The chipotle agave glazed wings were amazing !

    It was my birthday yesterday, and my fiancé took me to Mesa Tacos and Tequila to celebrate. We've been here one other time before in December of last year and were very impressed with the food, and since it was close for us and we were already at a bar in the area before, we agreed to come here for my birthday dinner. We were seated immediately in the outdoor patio dining area and ordered drinks. I'm apologize that i don't have pictures of everything we ordered as we were very hungry and devoured most of it before I could even take pictures, lol ... I began with a non-alcoholic Orange Creamsicle marg, which was a yummy treat of a drink while my fiancé had a traditional margarita, and we began with chicken wings that were to die for ! The wings were glazed with a slightly spicy chipotle glaze,topped with green onions and served with a side of creamy southwest ranch. We highly recommend them for an appetizer ! For the entrées, which I was unable to get photos of, my fiancé ordered a couple tacos: a fish taco and a steak taco they called "No vacancy" which he really enjoyed and I had a delicious taco salad.. you can choose any style of taco on their menu to do a taco salad, and I went with one they called "Aloha," which had shredded pork with a pineapple-jalepeno salsa and it was fantastic! We also both had a drink called "Spring Fling," and the garnish was so adorable! The drink was a peach and lavender cocktail topped with a lemon peel heart !! Definitely my favorite drink I've had at Mesa thus far, and I hope they don't do away with it anytime soon! In conclusion, this is a great place for delicious drinks, tacos, chicken wings and salads ... and a wonderful spot for date nights and birthday celebrations! Check it out if you haven't already, and you're in the area of downtown Nampa. There's also other awesome places in the area to check out if you want to make a full day of things to do... Labyrinth Escape Rooms is just next door to them and if you go a few doors down there is also an awesome new underground bar called "The Sick Stag" where we had a drink before coming here and they too make amazing drinks and offer a fun atmosphere!

    Happy hour menu (Dec 2024) and Mesa Margarita

    I've been watching the reviews for Mesa Tacos for a while and was excited to finally get an opportunity to gnaw down on some good Mexican food! Especially since I've been looking for a good fish taco here in Idaho. This is such a beautiful place, warm and inviting, yet cool and hip at the same time. My large party was greeted with a friendly smile and quick seating. Our waiter was immediately attentive and eager to answer our newbie questions. Since it was happy hour, we splurged on margaritas and the fabulous chips trio - obviously homemade tortilla chips, crispy and perfectly salted, served with mild salsa, queso and guacamole. I loved the chips (which are bottomless) and queso most. Mesa Margarita was lightly flavored with lime...very light pour of taquilla, but good. Followed up with two tacos - Baja fish taco (4.5/5) and gem state taco (2.5/5). Baja fish was a perfect little bite of lightly battered fresh fish, with crunchy cabbage and tangy crema, bummed it came without avocado as indicated on the menu. Gem state taco sounds amazing, but was underwhelming - premise was great; dill, potatoes, ranch, candied bacon and green onion - yet I felt it had too much bacon, not enough cheese or ranch and I never tasted dill. Finished the night with Holey Bites, donuts with an amazing horchata sauce. Donuts were fluffy and just knocked out of the park with that sauce! Excellent service from start to finish. Overall, a 4.5 rounded up to 5 .. service was so great, food was fun! I wish the had a better beer selection but the margaritas are a great substitute. Great touch with the Photo Booth in the back, with free digital pictures. Best way to cap the night!

    Easily within the top 5 places in Nampa. Happy Hour runs every day from 4-6p. Bartenders are fantastic!I

    Mesa is awesome. The decor is a dark industrial, inside an old brick building in the historic downtown of Nampa. The cocktail program is top notch, and Robert and Cole are fantastic bartenders. Needless to say, my wife and I sat at the bar. My wife ordered the steak quesadilla (with NO upcharge for steak). The serving size was massive. My wife can put food away like she works at Ridley's stocking shelves and she couldn't even finish half of it. I opted for the tacos, and two was plenty. The Aloha was closest thing I had to bliss since my wedding day (and ever day after in case my wife reads this. Love you, sweetie). The pork was perfect, salty, tender. I think I heard myself *oink* after the first bite. Oh, and the pineapple salsa is just right kiss of sweetness and acid against the the fatty salty pork. But, really don't sleep on the Rum below in the photo.

    Ask the Community - Mesa Tacos & Tequila

    So is the menu price on the tacos for just one taco or do you get 2-3 per order?

    The prices you see on the menu are per one taco. Their tacos are fairly big, three tacos would constitute a regular meal.

    Is this place kid friendly?

    Yes! Be sure to ask the hostess for an Etch A Sketch for them to play with also!

    Does Mesa have a patio out back?

    No. They do have a window they open in the summer.

    It's so incredibly hard to convince my husband to eat anything other than meat and potatoes, but…read moreluckily I was able to convince him to try a place that was new to him. Even if he didn't want to go, due to my immense craving for the chips and queso, I would have ate alone...but he reluctantly agreed. We went on a late Sunday morning and the place was relatively empty. They had the garage roll-up doors open, which gave this location a cool vibe. We quickly ordered the chips and queso, one grilled fish taco (grilled or fried fish, red cabbage, cilantro, chipotle crema) and one texican (ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes and cheddar cheese). One thing I just love about this place is that you never have to wait for your chips and queso. We were served up a generous scoop of tortilla chips and that hot, crave-a-licous queso. Our tacos were done within a few minutes. The fish was tender and flaky, wrapped in a corn tortilla. The cilantro, cabbage and crema wrapped that fish with this amazingly fresh and herbaceous blanket of love. Every bite was scrumptious. My husband named the "Texican" to "a taco made for me" and then asked when we're coming back. Best day ever. Sitting out in the open air area was super nice, on a perfect 78 degree day. Can't wait to go back.

    Always good! Consistent and quick. Can't go wrong. Great value and menu pricing, very affordable!read more

    From yesterday 29 April 2021 ¡Me gusta mucho Lupita y su…read moretacos! I've passed by the taco bus so many times! As the pictures show, it's a bus turned into a taco stand. I finally stopped because I felt like I was starving to death and was already getting a headache & I always prefer to frequent a locally-owned business. I wasn't sure where to go to order but a kind gentleman greeted me and invited me inside the bus to sit on one of the benches and went to get Lupita. She came right out and the grill was already hot and she had the masa/dough already made, and I watched her roll a little ball of it and press it flat and cook it in front of me. That was one nice tortilla! I don't think I've ever had one that fresh, fresh off the grill! I had a basic chicken taco with cilantro and onion & lime juice and a bit of the milder green salsa. ¡Es un taco muy delicioso! The prices are comparable to taco trucks I've seen in the area or in Boise and drink prices and the variety offered are reasonable for the area as well. I had a $2 taco & 1.50 guava? nectar canned beverag that was nice and cold. It's the bus parked next to the house on the south side of the American Legion Building, not quite on the corner of 16th Ave South and 2nd St South in Nampa, but almost. As you go around the corner from 16th Ave. south and turn west onto the one-way street of 2nd St South, you'll see it immediately on the right through the parking lot on the corner, so it's very easy to get to and park as well.

    Oh my gosh this place is AMAZING! A little inconspicuous location with an even more unique set up…read more The shop is on a school bus and you can eat on the bus as well! The owner makes HOMEMADE tortillas. Not only are they homemade but she actually takes the dough ball, squishes it, and cooks it right there when you order it! We got 4 tacos and a burrito with beef, pork, and chicken as the meats. All were great but my favorite was the pork. So much flavor with just the right amount of meat and fat on it. The salsas also stood out as super flavorful. Not just your typical mediocre, passes as salsa, free salsa. Be careful with the red one though, that one has a serious kick to it! Try it- you won't regret it!
