    Lobster Lobster Baja Tacos (3)
    Dawn H.

    My friends and I planned our monthly luncheon at mesa based on Instagram posts we saw about a new menu. When we arrived we noticed the new menu was not available. We started with the guac sampler and it was tasty. The chips were fresh and warm. Next we ordered the carne asada fries, 2 of my friends tasted them first and both spit it out. They said they tasted oily and the sauce had a weird flavor. (We sent those back.) A few of us ordered the lobster tacos. They were mostly a flavorless batter, with only a small amount of lobster. The ends of the lobster were nice and crispy but the middle was mushy. The rice and beans were very salty. We ordered a peach/mango margarita tower and that was good. We were concerned about the amount of ice used but it worked out. Our server was nice and checked on us while still allowing us space. Based on this experience I won't be back.

    This place has a really nice aesthetic and a cool vibe overall. I went on a Saturday afternoon with my mom and brother, and we were seated right away since it wasn't too busy. The service was good and the waiters were friendly, which I appreciated. They also do a fire show at 7 PM on Saturdays, which sounds fun, but you have to make reservations up to two weeks in advance if you want to see it. The food was just okay. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they didn't really stand out to me. I prefer more authentic Mexican food, and this place feels pretty modern, so it didn't quite hit for me. For the price, I've had way better food at more authentic spots for a lot less. The margaritas were the best part. They were honestly amazing and definitely something I would go back for. Overall, I'd give it 3 stars. I wouldn't go here if I'm really hungry or looking for a great meal, but it's a good place to hang out, grab drinks, and maybe catch the fire show. I'd come back for the drinks and the vibe, just not the food.

    Drinks were good. Food was absolute trash. The carne Asad fries taste like i ate a scoop of crisco oil. Not sure what kind of cubed meat was on top. I ordered lobster tacos, they were dry but soggy at the same time. The staff was very nice and accommodating with orders we sent back. Drinks a plus but not sure I would come back.

    The staff from the hostess (Courtney), server and bartender were very nice and one of the highlights of this experience. Drinks GREAT!!! The raspberry pineapple frozen margarita was delicious . Now onto the food, the guacamole and chips were fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately the guac and chips were the best part of the meal. The carne asade fries were not good at all. Fried crispy, a bit oily, lacking flavor and the steak was chewy and flavorless. I sent them back, I was hopeful they would be good because I love fries. The tacos were Mid as well. I got chicken, lobster and shrimp tacos. None were completely eaten. The black beans were salty and bland too. I would go back for a drink and guac but that's about it for me.

    Drink review only ** wanted to try the soft serve margaritas I've been seeing online and saw that mesa in royal oak has them. They are so yummy, i got a mango one with tajin and it was delightful. Got a small buzz from it so don't expect to get drunk. I would get like 3 of these if I were to come again

    Frozen margaritas

    Vibes inside are always cool and we were happy to be seated right away. Got a frozen blood orange margarita and a frozen watermelon margarita. I'm not a big fan of alcohol and these were yummy. The dip trio was satisfying too. Street tacos never miss but the star of the show was the carne asada tacos alambre. The melted cheese made it taste so good

    The half eaten taco and empty sauce container that was packaged with our take out order.

    We placed a takeout order for a burrito and street taco meal from Mesa tonight... upon getting home and opening the order we find this. A half eaten taco and empty sauce container packaged with our food. When we called Mesa to let them know and how to potentially rectify the situation the girl on the phone told me that after talking to her manager "there was nothing they could do" since we placed the order through DoorDash. (Weird reason, but Ok) I told her flat out that it was f-ing disgusting finding someone else's food like this with our order(because it is,that's gross!!) and she replied "ok, well i was gonna say you can come in and we'll remake it for you." We said no, since at this point we were already home and didn't feel like going back out. Friday nights is the one night of the week my husband and i treat ourselves to dinner out, lately it's been take out since we have an almost four month old. Needless to say we were pretty annoyed by this, and also completely turned off from the way the establishment chose to handle this situation. We won't be eating at Mesa moving forward. Absolutely not, totally unacceptable answer to rectify the situation. Do not eat here.

    All the proteins were seasoned incredibly well and cooked to perfection. The freshly made corn tortillas were the perfect shell for these fantastic tacos. The funky fresh marg flavors and incredibly nice service made for the ideal taco date night

    Truly the worst dining experience my friends and I have EVER had. Reservation was 7:15, waiter didn't come to the table until 7:30. We all ordered the soft serve margaritas and got the chips and dips appetizer. The margaritas took 20 minutes to come out, and we do not believe there was any alcohol in them whatsoever. The resturant was beyond loud, all the tables around us had no regards for anyone and were so obnoxious. Our waiter spent an extremely long time talking with other tables around us. 8:15 and our waiter comes by to tell us the food will be out soon. 8:40 he comes with the food. Picks up one plate and drops the entire tray of food on our table. Hot oil spills on my arm. HE JUST LEAVES. Some other waitress comes and cleans it. 10 minutes later out waiter returns, lightly apologizes, and says he will get us more waters. Are u serious? Water? You're going to get us waters for your mistake and terrible service? He leaves again. 15 minutes go by and no waters. The food runner brings out our food. We ask him for silverware & waters, he tells us to ask our server. Ok asshole. At this point we are all beyond furious. I go to the hostess stand and ask to speak to the manager. I tell her we have been here over an hour with a reservation, terrible service, and he just dropped our tray of food / it got on me. She questions me and asks where im sitting. I point directly next to us at my friends, and tell her we do not want to pay for our food and we'll just go somewhere else. She says she will comp the meal and we can stay and eat if we want. We stay, at this point it's been almost 2 hours. 3 of our meals come out, not all 4. Had to grab the managers attention again to get the 4th meal remade. She also brought us water FINALLY. She was rude through interactions but did the right thing comping the meal for us and tending to us since our waiter was quite literally incompetent. Even if this didn't happen, the food was extremely dry, mid, and overpriced. DO NOT EVER DINE HERE.

    Everytime we come here the food is on point and service is great! We decided to try the new soft serve margaritas and they are amazing and a must try! This place is always a good choice for Mexican food! It's also a good choice to eat outside on a nice day!

    Guacamole Flight
    Pallavi S.

    Cool and vibrant ambiance while sitting on the patio. Fairly busy even at 9 on a Sunday evening which I liked. We got seated immediately. The service was quick. Ordered the Guacamole flight with nachos. While it was good I felt that all the three dips were just slightly different. Our Entree was Papa Loca Asada ( big potato) with chicken and that was quite yummy. The toppings were generously put and covered the potato all over and not just the top layer. My friend ordered whiskey and I was surprised to see additional $3 added per drink for just "on the rocks" . Not sure if it's a norm in few restaurants.

    Margarita was amazing but the service & overall business model makes no sense. A mom and 2 kids come in at 4 o'clock on a saturday and you tell them its a 2 hour wait if they dont have a reservation? There were MANY parties leaving & tables opening. Host was a bit rude, bartenders seemed annoyed, and I felt very unwelcome.

    The ambiance is really cute, let's start there! It's Rochester though, so you expect nothing less I suppose, but the food itself was a tad underwhelming. Our waitress was THE BEST even though we were joined by the loudest party on the planet - she made sure we were heard and that she understood our orders before she left the table. One order was one of the 'freak-shakes' and it was HUGE! She devoured every sip. Definitely did not disappoint. Everything looks great, but almost all of the food had hints of spice that bordered on tongue burning and that's just not flavor, that's heat. It made enjoying some of the meal a bit more delicate than others. We did opt for some delicious crèma to help with the spice level and that helped out a lot, but overall, it's probably not a stop we'd make again simple for the prices and the lack of flavor.

Walking in, the black and gold nuances strike you immediately and sitting at the bar, watching each drink being made is really quite fun. Their cocktail menu is absolutely spectacular. What a wide range of choices with all the major types of liquor available in one form or another. My bartender developed the program and she was super knowledgeable about it. I didn't try any of the food, so I can't comment on that, but for a pre or post dinner cocktail, I can definitely say this was an awesome spot to come out to.

As we followed our greeter to our table I kept screaming in my mind "no no no no no not that table no!" and she sat us at a table in full blasting sun. Nevermind the fact that there was a whole shaded section in the back part of the patio area. The rest of my group said it was fine and a beam of sun slowly bore a hole through my chest. Drink orders were up. I ordered a fabulous cross between a Moscow Mule and a Mojito. A+++ for the drinks. Mine was loaded with fresh mint from their garden. Same grade for our waitress who explained the drinks in detail and ended with "ugh- are you sure you want to sit at this table straight in the sun?" The other two said it was fine. I was ready to move, but was out voted. She continued to check in regularly and brought extra water. Most items on the menu were hot. I considered the fish, but we all landed on appetizers and we would just bounce from place to place for bites and drinks. We ordered the charcuterie board and the lavender lemon whip with bread and cucumbers for the 3 of us. The charcuterie board was the large version and had minimal offerings. It wasn't full and pretty. It was little piles of each thing on a board. This one definitely wasn't making it into Better Homes and Gardens magazine. There was a little pile of mixed nuts, a little pile of lose green grapes, a little pile of lose red grapes - not all grapes pristine or large and none were on the vine. There were 3 little piles of cubed cheese and 2 types of sliced sausage and sliced pepperoni. There were 8 crackers that were wheat thin size. This matters because we had some onion jam on the board and a nice serving of mustard. There really wasn't anything to put them on except for the 8 little crackers. That part was weird. These weren't elevated offerings. I could have picked up any of these at Walmart. They were not elevated quality either. We also got a lavender lemon infused whip which was their answer to tzatziki sauce. It was excellent but again, we were given so much of the sauce without a bunch to put it on. The cucumbers were sliced lengthways and there was a lovely bread that tasted like sourdough. There was 6 pieces of bread, and these were not particularly large pieces. A lot more would have been needed to use all of the sauce they gave. The proportions were off. All together the bill was over $100 for the 3 drinks and appetizers. If I ever did go back I won't order food based on what I experienced. There are too many other great options within walking distance.

The bao buns were amazing, the pork belly ramen was rich and comforting and such a large portion, and both sushi rolls were super fresh and really well done.
