We had a really nice experience at Mesa, especially considering we were dining with a baby (always a wild card ). The margarita was good and strong -- definitely not watered down, which I appreciated. The salsa and beans were delicious, fresh and flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. I ordered the fajitas, and they were cooked really well and tasted great. The only surprise was that they didn't come with cheese and sour cream, which felt a little unusual for fajitas, but it didn't take away too much from the overall dish. Big shoutout to our server, who was wonderful with our baby -- patient, kind, and super accommodating, which made the whole meal much more relaxing for us. Overall, great food, strong drinks, and friendly service. We'd definitely come back. Also can't beat a locally owned place! read more

The waitstaff was nice, but the food was awful, my husband wanted to try it since it's so close to home, I ordered a chicken quesadilla thinking you can't mess that up but I was wrong, the chicken was flavorless and had the texture like boiled chicken I sent it back after just a couple of bites. read more

We originally just came in for churros. I couldn't help trying everything else out. The restaurant is very spacious and there are a lot of tables and a good bit of booths also. The restrooms were nice and cleaned and smelled good and the staff was very delightful to be around. Everything looked delicious. I got a brisket taco à la cart as well as a ground beef taco. The kids plates offered a good bit of food. I was able to order three kids meals and my four kids were able to share them because it was so much food. And they are getting five stars for the churros because that's why we came and they were very good. read more

Mesa's Mexican Grill - Lunch special number seven. One beef burrito, one chicken burrito, rice and beans. Pico de gallo. - Tex-Mex Near Me - McKinney, Texas

For many years I've dined at Mesa's Mexican Grill. It has been an absolute delight! The Chicken Fajita, and Chicken Enchilada with Rice and Vegetables are amazing. Casar and his staff are friendly, professional, attentive and knowledgeable. They take pride in preparing customers meals. I enjoy the cozy clean booths making for an unforgettable date night or dinner/lunch with your family. The prices are incredibly reasonable. We will definitely continue to come back! read more

Today I ordered by phone, 2 cheese enchilada dinners with ranchera sauce to be picked up at 5. I was 5 minutes early and it was not ready, I said no problem I'm early. I got my order and when I got home, both orders have Chile con carne. What a disappointment, they don't even taste like enchiladas. I live 10 minutes from this place, second rime my go order ha been messed up. I will not be back! read more

And I think that restaurant deserves more appreciation and attention from our community.! read more

SO WOW 5 stars is not enough for this Mexican food... Restaurant its self is not really decorated, like no pictures or decor on the walls type of deal. Menus are old looking and pictures of the food look like they were taken on a Motorola flip phone. Service was great, we had no wait on a Friday night and the servers were on point all night. We ordered the chile Relleno with ground beef and rice and beans. The Birria Tacos only come with rice for some reason. Both were you absolutely amazing, we are talking flavor town. We will definitely be back for the food, probably wouldn't go on a date night again but every other night I'm definitely down to go. Fat Boy tip: don't eat all your food at the restaurant because it hits the spot at midnight snack time.. read more

Ordered the full order of the shrimp nachos appetizer & tortilla soup. Food was good & service was great & attentive with our party of 8. The tortilla soup was filling & didn't skimp on the chicken. The black bean dip was quite popular at our table & the refills were much appreciated. Come early because it does get packed around 6pm on Saturdays! read more

Food - 4 Service - 4 Value - 4 We've here twice now and it's one of the better Tex-Mex places in the area, and can get quite crowded on Saturday evenings! The chips were quite good and we liked the fact that are unsalted, and I enjoyed their quesadillas as my main dish. read more

This used to be our "go to" restaurant...after a school function, birthdays, summers after the pool, just because. It was our favorite! There has always been something for everyone and family friendly. The staff was fabulous as well. Friends and I were here last Saturday night and when we walked in it was half capacity. Weird... We sat and noticed half the normal wait staff was gone. Ordered a drink. It was undrinkable, seriously undrinkable. I asked if there was a new bartender and was told "yes." Our server took the drink back. The next was still REALLY bad. (I'm NEVER one to complain.) My son ordered tomales, and apparently there was a problem with those too. Wasn't sure what until our server returned with just a pile of ground meat with beans and rice on the side. New "chef"??? Okay, well he was still hungry, so... Lastly, he ordered sopapilla's. Let's throw caution to the wind. Maybe they will be good. They were fine, buuuut that did NOT seem like real honey. Heavy sigh... I'm told it has new owners. Just a friendly message. Don't mess with a perfect formula. We won't be going back (unless things go back to the way they used to be), and from the looks of things, others feel the same way. read more

Good food but delivery menu is terrible. They don't have side of jalepenos and you can't order fajitas for two.

Always outstanding food, service and experience! We one of our favorite places! Always accommodating to adjustments on sauces etc. wonderful place to pick up a large order for a party always. read more

Decided to have delivery instead of going in. Online was pretty easy to do. A variety of options to choose from. I ordered around 5:45p on a Mon. The order was here by 6:30. Which isn't bad. I did enjoy the food. It was good and hot when delivered. I got the enchilada platter. Gave you the options to choose which type of topping, Verde, salsa, and sour cream. That's what I got came with rice and beans and a taco on the side. Ordered a side of guacamole. It was really good, but they served in a 3 ounce cup with maybe ounce of guac. Look at pictures for reference It was $3 for not even a scoop. I would suggest filling the cup up for that price. Only thing that was disappointing. read more

The server is so nice and engaging, the food is good (could be better), but it is ok for a quick lunch. It seems the food should be better for the price paid, but again, it is ok - just not as good as some others further away. The table side guacamole is worth doing, and the queso is too. Otherwise, the food will be palatable and even decent, just not 5 stars. Maybe keep the drinks reasonably full would also help. read more

This is a no-frills type of restaurant without any elaborate decor. Nevertheless, you can get great food at very reasonable prices here! The lunch specials are worth taking a look at. The complimentary chips and salsa/bean dip were also very good! Regarding the entrees, the food was served hot and tasted good overall. Service was always very attentive and prompt! I've eaten in the restaurant and ordered to-go food on different occasions, and have been pleasantly surprised by how quick this restaurant has the food ready. Will definitely be back next time! read more

Food was good. I had the lunch fajita plate(beef). Well priced and good quantity of food. Chips and salsa was good and we had the white queso. Service was quick and friendly. Great atmosphere for a small restaurant.The only thing is that, I prefer my fajita meat cooked a little more but that's just me. read more

I feel really bad giving them 3 stars because everyone was so nice and our server was the best but the food lacked flavor. I got the chicken fajitas and all I could taste was the onion and I like onions. The chicken was very plain and the rice had no flavor. My in laws really like the brisket tacos so maybe go with that if you come here. read more

Mesa's Mexican Grill is a must. I have visited now 3 times for a work lunch. The staff is super friendly. The service is really fast. The food is delicious-large portions made for great left overs. I have ordered the chicken and beef enchiladas on the lunch special. I also ordered brunch chorizo with flour tortillas. The food has always been excellent. The restaurant is always ready to serve. The environment is clean and inviting. read more

Their lunch special is very cost-effective. I ordered and paid for the food through Yelp. It took a while for the food to get ready, so I decided to wait inside, and the food had been ready sitting. Either they don't update their status of Yelp or Yelp doesn't reflect the update fast enough. read more

My husband and I stopped by for a late lunch today and shared the Parrillada Mesa which is a trio of grilled shrimp, beef fajitas, and grilled chicken for two. It was beautifully put together over a bed of grilled veggies (squash, zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, and onions). As far as flavor goes, the shrimp and steak tasted good but I was honestly thrown off by the purple color of the steak and there wasn't any "fibers" visible. It almost made me believe I was eating something else other than beef. Maybe liver? LOL I would have loved for the steak to have been grilled longer to capture more of that charcoal flavor. The chicken I felt had no flavor at all and was my least favorite. Chips were fresh and hot. Salsa tasted great too! Our waiter Rafael was extremely sweet and we truly valued his service. read more

I love their food. There's so much of it. You can order a little less than you think. But it's awesome.

Stopped by for a quick bite for lunch. Staff was polite and service great. Food arrived quickly. Enjoyed the grilled salmon. Will be back again. read more

To start, Mesa's truly has some of the best taco's I've ever had for pretty fair prices. There are some really good servers, but the service is overwhelmingly slow, so I'll take a star off for that. That atmosphere is good: not too loud and peaceful. read more

This is a review for their catering. We have been patrons of Mesa's since it opened. Before that we were regulars at the location on 380. My husband was throwing me a surprise birthday party and used Mesa's to cater the occasion. I have always been the one to order the catering for every event or party we have hosted. So, this was my husbands first experience with catering. He called Pablo and told him he was throwing a party for 30 people and that he wanted to order beef and chicken fajitas for the occasion. He left it up to Pablo for how many pounds of Meet it should be. Pablo, the manager, sold my husband 1 pound of chicken and 1 pound of beef. Anyone who caters parties knows that the rule of thumb is half pound of meat per person. When my husband got home and he was placing the food into our metal catering warming bins he quickly realized this was only enough food for 5 people. He had to leave in the middle of the party to purchase 4 more pounds of fajitas. Not, only did they not sell my husband an adequate amount of food for 30 people, but they also did not give my husband chips, guacamole, or cheese which are all clearly stated to come with the fajitas from the catering menu. They also charged him for salsa, beans, and rice which is supposed to come with the fajitas as well. I can not tell you how disappointed I am with a restaurant we frequent quite regularly. Do not use them to cater your event. They will overcharge you for the items you order and will not give you the items listed on the catering brochure. read more

What a great experience working with Cesar for a catering order to feed 40-50 people. Caesar listened to my needs and made helpful suggestions to create the PERFECT party! The food was a hit and everything was packed to perfection. Not a single detail was missed. We had chicken/steak fajitas, tamales, sour cream enchiladas, and all the fixings and numerous people were asking who we used bc the food was delicious. Thank you Mesas for helping create the perfect event for a birthday celebration. Will definitely use you again!!! read more

Wanted food to go- hostess told me to order at the bar. I sat there for 10 minutes ( there were only 3 other customers at the bars who were sipping drinks) Bartender never acknowledged me - continued making drinks for servers. A manager went behind the bar and started making drinks, also didn't acknowledge me. He took the drinks to a table. I can't comment on the food because I got up and left. At least the hostess gave me a sympathetic "sorry" as I walked out. read more

They have brunch all day, so we had the migas. Wonderful. Don't forget to get their green sauce on the side.

I wish I could say it was a great experience but unfortunately it went. First off, if you go online and sign up for emails you immediately get a free cup of queso. Too bad it came out sort of cold. I asked FOUR times for round chips; I prefer the thicker round ones with queso. There was a huge language barrier between my waiter and I and he brought me ranch on the third request. So finally I just had to flag down a manager who then brought me five round chips. Yep. Five round chips. I got a number three which has a chicken enchilada and a brisket taco. The brisket was too chewy and the chicken was hard, like hammered on the flattop hard. The brisket needed some sort of sauce to pull it together instead of all the oil. Nothing tasted very fresh; I pretty much got the feeling on Thursday afternoon that I was eating Wednesday night's leftovers. Overall, I won't be back. read more

Quick service and friendly staff each time we visit! It is also a great neighborhood location.

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Mesa's. I'm not a fan of Tex-Mex, however I decided to stop by with friends for dinner. I truly enjoyed the brisket tacos...they were tasty, full of flavor and priced well. The chicken nachos aren't bad either, service was okay, restaurant is a bit cramped but overall it was good. read more

Recently moved to McKinney and was looking for someplace comparable to Gloria's. They have Great service and margaritas

We have frequented the restaurant in Allen and this was our first time at the McKinney location. This says a lot about the quality of the food and our experience from this group. This review is purely on our experience at this location. The restaurant is spacious, clean and comfortable. The best part of our experience was the service. Our server was very helpful and gave us suggestions when we asked him. The service was prompt but not rushed. He checked on us without being intrusive. Overall an excellent experience. It will be difficult to decide between the Allen and the McKinney location to visit. read more
