Solid high-end Mexican restaurant that's perfect for a date night. Food is very good, you really can't go wrong with any of the options (fajitas are a favorite, as well as the chicken mole enchiladas). If you save room for dessert, you HAVE to try the banana pudding. Drinks are tasty and the cocktail menu is pretty extensive, but the pours are on the smaller side. As far as service goes, everyone here was wonderful but a little slow... our dinner for 2 took us almost 2 hours... lastly, remember it IS a high end Mexican restaurant, both in quality and price. I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant charge $20 for table side guacamole... For special occasions, it's a good spot. read more

Came here for a late lunch on my birthday. My waitress Mey was nice and was making some really good drinks (thanks). Staff were also friendly and provided good service. Wasn't too busy when I was there as well. I'd say it's good place for families to attend as few families were dinning in. Food was pretty good, the tacos were well seasoned and the empanada was just right! Food was good. They also have happy hour. read more

Mesita - Shrimp Taco Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Rockville Centre, New York

Ambiance was inviting and lovely. We went during brunch so didn't need reservations but made one anyway as we were a party of 5 just in case. There's a small parking lot but is shared by the other businesses and usually filled. Parking was a struggle even on a Sunday where you dont pay the meters. Service was courteous and quick; he was friendly and helpful and easily reachable. Note- they take foodie card but only for parties of 3 or less. They do also have a rewards system when you input your phone number during check out. They provide free refills on soft drinks.

We reserved a Brunch party service for over 20 people here and it went very smoothly. The food was good and served in good time. The servers were attentive as well. My only complaint is that all the drinks were made poorly-- literal sugar water that hurt my stomach. We had pitchers of White Sangria, Red Sangria, Passionfruit and Bellinis. Otherwise I'd only go back for the fajitas. read more

Mesita - Mexican Near Me - Rockville Centre, New York

Legit my favorite fish taco. I've been coming here for years and literally getting the same thing every time haha. They have great Tuesday specials; whether you get a quesadilla or a taco; it's typically bussin and the prices are good. This time in particular my Taco was a 4/5. They gave me A LOT more fish than usual but its flavor lacked a little bit and I needed a touch more sauce but overall still pretty good. They also give you free chips and salsa and keep refilling them so that's a plus. Drinks are pretty eh but def go for the tacos. Cool ambiance. Nice decor and a great place to catch up with coworkers, friends or even a mini date. Service is typically pretty good as well. Gave us a table on Tuesday even though he didn't make a reservation read more

Mesita - Fish tacos.... 4/5 - Mexican Near Me - Rockville Centre, New York

Visiting Rockville Center, I remembered that Mesita was near, so me and my plus one decided to stop in. We made reservation because it's a must and found parking on the corner by the restaurant. We stepped in to find a fall festive theme. Autumn decor set the tone here with much of what you would expect from October. I find some consistency in service, the staff performed as a cohesive unit, not neglecting the customer. That's a plus! Also as our waitress was May C. She was very attentive, keeping a watchful eye on us at all times. I'm thinking that observation is a prerequisite skill at Mesita. I'm kind of hesitant on this review because we came for brunch. Not realizing that they served brunch. Also the kitchen was closing, which I feel has a cause and effect on the quality of food and this review. With that being said, I ordered a breakfast burrito. I should have stuck with my desire to have an enchilada. I was discouraged because I've never had a breakfast enchilada. So the breakfast burrito was huge and filling but it was served lower than room temperature which effected my mood. My plus one had steak and eggs. She says that it was nothing to write home about. They don't have steak sauce nor do they have black pepper. We did enjoy the Mimosa and everyone received a complimentary Leches shot. The restaurant was not filled to capacity and I noticed that there were 2 private dining rooms, one empty and the other smack filled. I did meet Marty the manager who was very kind and accommodating. I would like to visiting this location at night to see if it's bustling like the Garden City NY location. read more

My wife and daughter and I went to Mesita on Thursday evening, which was a perfect choice starting the festive feelings that a weekend brings. We were rushed in without a reservation to a great table and nearly instantly had Alejandro, our waiter telling us about the drinks and making my young six-year-old daughter, smile by the way, my drink was on fire as it was brought to me, which was a fun twist if anyone wants to try it it's the first one on the cocktail menu at the bottom of the page. I believe it started with an M but I won't butcher the spelling from memory. All three of us really enjoyed our meals. I had enchiladas, which were delicious. Alejandro kept us cared for throughout the meal and an older gentleman who I presume may be an owner came by towards the end of the meal to ask about our experience it was a great meal a fun time a great Thursday and I highly recommend. read more

Mesita in RVC just set the bar way higher for what great service and great food should be. Hands down the best service I've had in a long time. On top of that, their Restaurant Week deal was unbelievable -- you get 1 appetizer, 1 main course, and 1 dessert for such a low price. I genuinely hope they bring this special back because it was such an amazing value. The food was beyond delicious from start to finish. Every dish was full of flavor and super fresh. My girlfriend and I have been coming here for a while, but after today's experience, Mesita officially became my new favorite restaurant. Between the incredible service, the vibe, and the quality of the food, it's a guaranteed 5 stars. We'll definitely be back! read more

If you like Mexican food and cute decor this is your place! Walls lined with skulls and Mexican artist paintings, looking almost like a small Pueblo, this restaurant gives you the vibes you're looking for on a Margarita Monday, or even a Taco Tuesday! The prices are a bit higher, $18 for a classic margarita, and $20 for guacamole, but the food is tasty! The maduros (sweet plantains) come out covered in a sweet cinnamon sugar, and the shrimp ceviche was light and refreshing. The fajitas come out on these giant planchas with all the fixings, would've like more than 3 small tortillas, but there were plenty of toppings. They have vegetarian options, including burritos, tacos and fajitas. Our server was so nice, but a little hard to find most of the time when we needed some napkins or our check. I recommend a Sunday or weeknight, as Friday and Saturday can be a bit busy. read more

Went to Mesita last weekend for dinner. The place is huge, with a dark, dimly lit atmosphere and loud music--definitely not ideal for having a conversation, so be prepared for more vibes than talk. That said, the bathrooms were clean and the service was decent. Now, the food? Absolutely spectacular. The steak fajitas and Monterey chicken were phenomenal--flavorful, perfectly cooked, and very satisfying. We ended the night with the banana locos for dessert, and it did not disappoint. So good! My only complaint (and it's a big one for me) is the cocktails. I love a good drink when I go out, and unfortunately, Mesita missed the mark. My margarita was overloaded with sweet & sour mix and barely had any alcohol. For $20, it tasted more like a sugar bomb than a proper cocktail. Definitely not worth the price. Because of that, I'm taking off one star--I'm all about my drinky drinks, and if the cocktails aren't hitting, I usually don't return. 4 stars for food and ambiance . read more

The ambiance was super cute when first walking in. We had made a reservation and I'm glad we did because it filled up fairly quickly! My friend had a drink at the bar while waiting and enjoyed her beverage. All the alcoholic beverages looked fantastic. The staff were very good about taking orders quickly and even the food came out in quick timing. I noticed the staff going around with a cart making fresh guac which I absolutely loved. I ordered a quesadilla from the appetizer menu which filled me up. If you're not looking for a full meal & not break your bank the appetizers are very good and will go the mile! There were a few little things like refills on water and not getting sliced lemons for them, but all in all the food was great! read more

I came here with my friend for Cinco de Mayo. It was PACKED. They had a DJ which was nice. Upon arrival we got chips and salsa on the house. We placed our order with Carlos. We got the mild guac with chips, queso with chips, street corn and the choose your own 3 tacos. We picked 2 Barria Tacos, and 1 steak taco. The chips and queso had home made chips that were fried, however the queso tasted like velveta or the cheese you get at the movies. The guac on the other hand was delicious!! The street corn had a nice smoky flavor. Oddly enough they did not bring us extra chips for the guac; only upon request. Service was very slow but it was because of the holiday so it was extremely understandable. Overall good food, good atmosphere and a nice place to come for a girls night, with friends or family. read more

We stopped in for brunch at Mesita! I got the steak & eggs, the steak was nicely seasoned, cooked close to how I ordered it, and paired well with the eggs (my eggs was soft) not the way I like them. And crispy home fries, was pleasantly tasty. Solid, satisfying brunch plate. Also had a glass of mimosa, fresh, bubbly, and just the right kick for a slow and quiet Sunday. Service was friendly, the service was not quick I think because they were about to close for bunch, and the vibe was laid-back, which I liked. But if you're looking for a no-fuss, hearty meal with a little brunch sparkle, this hits the mark. Would come back again, maybe I will try the pancakes next time! read more

We found ourselves back at Mesita in October of 2025, about a year after my last trip when I was really disappointed. While the service was still a bit lackluster (our server was also taking care of a large party), they paid careful attention to my request of no cilantro, and my tacos were delicious. The skinny margaritas there are my favorite, and they definitely had me feeling good. This was a pleasant enough experience that I consider Mesita any time I am in the RVC area! read more

Hours later I am still so full! Huge portions, delicious food, and a fun birthday sparkler! I have eaten at Mesita but many years ago. Glad to see it holds up! Thank you for a great brunch! The table side guac was a HIT! read more

Mesita - Tableside Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Rockville Centre, New York

See all

First of all the place is beautiful inside. The decor and lighting really set the mood. The music is lively but not intrusive. The wait staff is attentive and friendly. We sat and talked for long after our bill was payed and never felt rushed out. Granted it was a Tuesday night and not very busy. For my meal , I ordered the chicken enchiladas and a mango margarita. The drink was delicious-definitely the highlight. My food was ok. The chicken was a bit dry and lacked flavor. I figured I'd get a side of sour cream to improve it. It did help, but upon receiving the bill I noticed that I was charged almost $3 for the sour cream! A tiny bowl ! What a turnoff! There are so many Mexican spots to choose from in the area. I doubt I'll be returning. read more

Such good queso and apps. I loved this! I recommend it you're in the area or craving Mexican food

Came by with my fiance & his coworkers for brunch, and this was a really a great choice for a sit-down brunch & yap session. Mesita is HUGE - the interior is super spacious and has plenty of seating. For a party of 10, we were seated without any difficulty. For the table, we ordered the tableside guac, which I actually really enjoyed. Definitely would want to try the spicier version if I came back with my fiance. Salsa here is tasty too. I ordered the Mexican chicken & waffles which were good, but did get to be a bit sweet and overwhelming towards the end. The chicken to waffle ratio unfortunately was a bit off - there was too little chicken for the amount of waffle there. With the waffles being on the sweeter end, it definitely needed a savory or acidic component to balance out all the sweetness. As expected for brunch, we ordered two pitchers of sangrias (1 red and 1 rose/peach). I really liked the rose/peach sangria - it was well balanced without being too sweet. They definitely know how to keep the drinks flowing here - even before we ran low on the sangria, our waiter was back to check if we needed a second pitcher of each. A bit on the pricier end of brunch, but to be expected for the RVC area. Parking is plentiful across the street. read more

I'll start by saying the ambiance here is nice. The staff is also very friendly and attentive. However, I'm always disappointed with my drink. The presentation is nice but it's not mixed well. Ive tried here more than once hoping for a better experience but it's just not great. I'd rate it 7/10. I would come here for apps over entrees. read more

I ordered guacamole. It cost $20.00. The lady makes it and walks away. She does not leave chips to go with it. I asked for the chips and she says "no" because I already have chips on the table. So the free chips and salsa they put on the table when you are seated, are the same chips you eat your guacamole with. For 20.00 the least they can do is serve chips with it. You don't serve me chips to save a few dollars? In general, this place is over priced with mediocre food. read more

Mesita is a top contender for our favorite restaurant! The menu has so many choices. We came here to celebrate a birthday and we didn't even realize it was Taco Tuesday. They offer great deals on tacos, mini quesadillas, and add ons (like rice, pico de gallo, or beans). The best part is, that you can still order from the regular menu. For an app we ordered honey Chipotle wings- you will not believe how delicious these are!! We also ordered shrimp tacos, pork tacos, steak tacos, and a cheese quesadilla- from the taco Tuesday specials. The tacos all tasted great and had a perfect meat to tortilla ratio. The mini quesadilla is definitely mini- it is perfect for a picky eater, like my 5 yr old. The birthday boy ordered the slow roasted pork that came with rice and beans. The pork was juicy! It was a big plate so if you're hungry you should get it! They also have drink specials on taco Tuesday in huge margarita glasses! We ordered fresh guacamole but they didn't make it table-side, which was a bummer. Service was great as always! read more

Amazing!! 5/7/25 it was girls night out and one of the ladies chose this restaurant. I wasn't expecting much. I normally don't pick a Mexican type place. I had no expectations. First of all the place is so beautiful the aesthetics the lighting the decor so warm and inviting. Our waitress I forget her name was wonderful. We ordered the guacamole and the chips to start. The guacamole was so delicious and they have different temperature ratings so you can get mild medium or hot. I ordered the chicken and piñata's with the rice. It was so delicious. The rice was so tasting I could not believe how much I enjoyed this meal and we all enjoyed our meal. I would go back in a heartbeat read more

I loved my birthday dinner at Mesita with my best friend. The food was delicious. It was Taco Tuesday. I had 2 shrimp and 1 chicken taco. The shrimp taco was good but the chicken was my favorite. The dessert was delicious. I had the banana fried cheesecake was sooooo good. It had the cinnamon on the outside and ice cream and whipped cream and fresh fruit. I enjoyed it so much. I had the Passion Fruit Margarita. It was made really well and you could actually taste the alcohol and not just sour mix. The service was good. Our server was friendly and they had people clearing tables and keeping everything moving and organized. I loved the ambiance. It was a vibe. Great for date nights and hanging with friends. read more

I have been to Mesita in Port Washington, so I wanted to try the Rockville Centre location. Great staff seated right away. The restaurant has a nice bar and a big dining area. We ordered 2 chicken tacos, 2 shrimp tacos, coconut margarita, and classic margarita, no salt, no sugar. The food tasted great, the drinks were good. I will definitely return and come on a Thursday night when it's ladies' night and salsa dancing. read more

Mesita always impresses us. We visited on a busy Friday night, and the manager quickly seated us with no wait at all. We tried the margarita flight, which was perfect since we couldn't decide on one flavor. The strawberry one was my favorite! We also ordered a new menu item, queso, along with our all-time favorite, tableside guacamole. While the queso wasn't my top choice, the guacamole was great. The steak fajitas were incredible, with the steak cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Mesita; it's the best Mexican restaurant in the area! read more

Went early on Saturday evening. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant has a great atmosphere. We had the table side guacamole...medium spicy. We should have went very spicy . It was delicious. My son had a steak burrito and it was huge and ha inhaled it. My wife and daughter had quesadillas and they loved them.

I walked out. My intent was to eat at the bar but... 1. I sat for nearly ten minutes whole the idle bartender chit chatted with staff 2.

I went to Mesita for the lunch special at the suggestion of one of my Tuesday lunceon friends. My companions raved about the Chicken Tortilla Soup. I, however, ordered a salad which turned out to be a typical side sald and not one of the morei interesting salads listed on the regular menu. My companions enjoyed their chicken burrits. I, however, was very disappointed with my dry, overly salted fish taco and tough to chew barbacoa taco. I guess, if we e ver go their again, "I will have what they have". The servcie was fine, chips and salsa plentiful, the restaurant clean and well appointed, although a bit dark. read more

Good space. The table guacamole was excellent. The drinks are very good. It is a definitely a good place to meet up with friends.

First time dining in and we had a good meal, and drinks. The staff was slightly inattentive because we had to flag him down to take our order. We were seated at 8:00 and didn't receive our entrees until 9:20. Everyone was starving by then but it was too late to enjoy the meal fully because of the late hour. I won't hold it against them, because they made it up with free shots of Rumchatta. The decor is awesome and the lighting was adequate in the area we were seated. Would I go back? Yes! However I will keep it to take out. read more

Starting with the positive: We went on a Friday night at 7pm with no reservation, and the manager was very accommodating and seated us immediately even though it was very crowded. Our waitress was attentive, professional, and courteous, and we didn't have to look for her, she checked in on us multiple times even though it was a very busy night. Water glasses were refilled constantly by either a bus boy or the waitress herself. The manager came by and checked in on us while we were there. The service and hospitality are very good. My nephew had the Steak Arracheras which he said was cooked to perfection and delicious. I had a Margarita which was prepared very well, no complaints. The decor and lighting are also interesting and pleasant. The not so positive: I had the Barbacoa tacos, shredded beef, which were not very good. The cilantro, cheese, and onions were barely evident and were at the bottom of the tortilla, leaving the shredded beef to become dry and not very tasteful. The ingredients - as pictures on the menu suggest - should be placed on top of the shredded meat for both taste and presentation. In short, they were terrible I only ate half of them. The music was also unbelievably loud for a restaurant experience, with a DJ playing club music. I am not young, but not an old man, and just couldn't hear my nephew speak and he said the same. The place was packed with a mostly younger crowd who didn't seem to mind, but unfortunately, I won't be back for dinner, at least not on a Friday night. read more
