Our go to spot when in Pittsburg! The bean dip is the best and highly recommend ordering with the flour chips. I got the chicken taco salad, the small size and the portion was large. The cheese burger my son ordered was amazing and a surprise for a Mexican restaurant. My husband ordered chilaquiles and loved them. The ambience is old school decor. read more

Been coming here since I was in high school (since 2003) and first off, we all know the BEAN DIP is the best. The service has been a bit slower than usual lately, though. I did take a friend here yesterday from out of town (his second time in two years) and while we did wait 30 minutes for our order to arrive, he did say, "oh wow, yeah this food was worth the wait!" I also love that most of the staff is still here 23 years later. I think it says something, don't you? Also, are you really from the East Bay if you haven't been here?!??? read more

I went back a couple times recently to the Mecca and it seems they corrected whatever was going on with the flavor changes. I know that some people have a different opinion but I will always love this spot (so long as they keep the recipes going in the nostalgic way)! Back up to 5 stars! read more

Came for my Chico de Mayo dinner. Seem busy, hard for first timer to figure out restaurant entering procedures. Sat at the counter. Service was steady. Saw Carne Guisada tacos on yelp. Came for that. It wasn't what I expected but delicious. The salsa and guacamole was amazing. I would come back. Not for Carne Guisada tacos. I'll try another dish. read more

New Mecca Cafe is one of those places that never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The complimentary bean dip and chips are a must-have and easily some of the best around. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a unique atmosphere with lots of character, making it a great spot for family dinners or casual meals with friends. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food in Pittsburg, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I'll definitely be back! read more

The main thing is their prices are gone up too much on the bean dip and meat dish. I used to get 2 under ten dollars but for some reason now, one bean dip costs you 10 bucks. Four times the price now remember bean dip they give you every day as you dine in lower your prices on the bean dip to go. read more

I am updating my review from 15 yrs ago. I have eaten here several times since my last review and I must say the food is back to being delicious again. The service however can be a lot better. Our waitress wasn't very attentive, but that can be an easy fix by management. I love how they expanded the restaurant even bigger and there are 2 different dining areas you can be seated at. read more

Great food, reasonable prices, great service! Been coming here for over 30 years!! Also great party trays

You truly don't know what you got till it's gone. Born and raised in Pittsburg and didn't appreciate the Mecca right down the street until I moved away. Now I'm a state away and somewhat glad or else I'd be eating here frequently. The best parts about the New Mecca: local eats, several options, have it your way, and the best bean dip! They had great service, checked on us frequently, let us customize our dishes, and were very patient with the family and two loud and wild toddlers. The tastes and vibes were great, no place like home with the good eats of the New Mecca. read more

I love the vibes in this restaurant. It definitely felt like walking to an establishment with lots of history. If only the walls could talk! We came here with a larger party around 9pm. We got seated quickly and were given lots of great suggestions on what items were most popular. SO and I got the flautas plate and one of the combo plates. Everyone loved the flour tortilla chips and the bean and cheese dip and salsa we enjoyed from the beginning of the meal. I'd love to come here again and try more things! read more

Casual restaurant. The food is great. I'm obsessed with their bean dip and guacamole. The portions are huge, you will not be disappointed.

When my friend and I go out to lunch, he always insists on coming to this place. I don't know why. The service was fast and friendly but the food? Not good, not good at all. There's two sides to the restaurant - the booth side which has some nice wooden booths and the other side which is, minimalistic to put it nicely. No sign of it being a Mexican restaurant with a minute amount of Mexican decorations, no music and/or TV stations. The chips are bite-sized which is nice, the bean dip was solid as they put red sauce and cheese on top but the salsa was mediocre. He ordered a combo meal, which he liked. I ordered the compadre meal. The presentation was sloppy as the burritos (I didn't know they weren't wet or covered) weren't rolled with any sense of pride as they were loosely rolled then thrown on the plate. Inside there was shredded chicken (dry), pork or beef (dry) and chorizo with egg (very dry). The burritos were simply the filling and tortilla - no cheese, no sauce, no pico, no meat drippings, nothing - just dried fillings. I should've requested some sour cream, queso dip or more salsa to put on them but I didn't. The beans were okay and the rice was slightly better. The rice was the best part of my meal by default, because everything else was just shy of terrible. They have canned sodas. I had a MUG root beer. It's a 30 minute drive to get here and for the life of me, I don't understand the appeal. I'm sure my friend will insist we come here next time and if I can't convince him to go somewhere else, I'll try something else on the menu. Maybe then I'll find something that resembles good Mexican food. If it was just me, I would actively avoid this place. read more

This place is always on our "stop" list here We love the feels and it is a stable in the community. Collective agreement is that the place has changed over time.

Went to the Mecca twice in 5 days. Each time the temp of my food was luke warm. I'm disappointed because I've grown up eating there and will continue to go but I want them to know they can do better. Also, last night the service was poor. We sat at the counter. Took a long time to be noticed. Then, the people next to us who arrived after us were able to order before us. The helpers seemed confused and overwhelmed yet it wasn't crazy busy. I still love you but please do better. read more

I made a order on the phone for pick up and when I got there, it was a totally different price than what they quoted me on the phone then I got nachos and they weren't good. I didn't like them. I don't know. It was just a weird beans and they're weird and I normally get like the vegetarian nachos and these weren't that great the service it was OK. The Ambiance is a little outdated I would say but the service was just OK to me. I don't think I'd go there again. read more

I started coming to The Mecca 49 years ago when I was 5 with my grandparents. I have been bringing my wife and my kids for over 25 years. I have easily eaten here (and the old location) over a hundred times. My best compliment is consistency! I have never once had bad service or a bad meal. Best chicken tacos north of Mexico. Guisada to die for. Chilaquiles yummmm! Albondigas special. Phenomenal! Bean dip is literally the best on the planet. I don't live close to Pittsburg and still make it a point to go at least 5 times a year. Every employee I have ever dealt with has been kind and attentive. The culture is the same today as it was 49 years ago. Honest, quality, reasonably priced and always great service. read more

Lou lou is the best. My family has been going to new mecca since before i was born my grand parents had there first date at new mecca and my grandpa is 95 years old .

I've heard people talk about this place for years so I decided to try it for myself. They brought out two different styles of chips, salsa, and bean dip. The chips and bean dip were lovely. I'm more of a hot sauce guy so the salsa was just okay but if you like it chunky it might be for you. My wife ordered a veggie burrito and the thing was the size of a small child. I got the chili Colorado meal with the rice and beans. The portions were very generous and the food was solid. For the money I would say it's more than worth it. 1 beer,2 glasses of wine, and 3 meals was only $59 which to me is a deal. The service was fast and on point and the atmosphere is nice. Overall a very pleasant experience. read more

I've been introduced to New Mecca through work catering event. This was my first timing dining in and everything is delicious. The old school diner charm with all the classic Mexican dishes you love. My favorites are the crispy beef tacos, bean dip and enchiladas. I've always said you can tell how good a place is by how cheap there napkins are. This place does not disappoint. They open at 10am and are closed on Wednesdays. read more

I heard about this restaurant from a local FB group in Solano County and since I had some business here in Pittsburgh CA I decided to come and try. I ordered the Chicken Taco, Chicken enchilada, and Chili Rellano with rice and beans. The food is exceptional with very large portions. I was so impressed that I ordered the Super Chicken Burrito to take home. I will definitely bookmark this for a future visit. read more

Disappointed!!. I placed a catering order Tuesday June 16th for pick up Saturday June 20th @1pm. Called the catering department. No one answered. Called the restaurant 30 minutes later they directed me back to the catering department. Finally spoke to someone. I did not get the womens name that took my catering order. That was my fault. She took down all my information and said my order would be ready. The day of June 20 I go and pick up my order at 1 PM and my order was nowhere to be found. I was upset. The whole reason of Colleen for a catering order so I don't have to stress about cooking. This order was for a Father's Day celebration. The host is at the front desk ended up just replacing my order and it would be ready in 30 minutes. I did not have time to wait as I had to get ready for our party. Had someone else pick up the order. All this to say that I will not be ordering from them again. Spent over $200. Ordered the Chile Verde and it was not as good as it usually is probably because they had to rush my order and get it ready. Very disappointed. read more

I have been eating at this establishment since 1977. The Mexican restaurant litmus test for me is the chili rellenos and literary have ordered the dozens of times. I have not found a spot that makes them better than these. Thiers are hand dipped,lightly battered, and covered in sauted bell peppers and onions . Effing delicious, the Mrs & I believe we have ordered this meal 40 plus time at the Meeca over the years,the best! Pro tip: Ask for the flour corn chips(not on the menu) read more

I had a fantastic experience at the new Mecca Cafe! The waiters are incredibly nice and friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The place is spotless and very clean, which is always a plus. They also have bathrooms that are well-maintained and clean, adding to the overall comfort. It's such an amazing little spot with affordable prices, making it perfect for a quick and delicious meal. Today, I tried their grilled cheese, and it was absolutely amazing! Definitely a place I'll be returning to. Highly recommend! read more

Go to Taco Bell. Burritos are tiny. Smallest burrito I ever bought. My wife and I were excited to try this place for the first time.

Came here with my family for lunch on Sunday. It is a cute place downtown and the outside and interior is just like a retro diner. The place was busy, but there was an open booth we were able to sit at. The seating is separated into two rooms and there are bathrooms on both sides. They give you two different kinds of tortilla chips with Pico de Gallo and gravy with beans as the dip when you are seated. I ordered the beef quesadilla with a side of rice and beans. Of course after eating the chips and salsa and asking for seconds, I was pretty full by the time our food arrived! The quesadilla was stuffed with beef and cheese and the sides were generously portioned. I couldn't finish it so I took it home to eat for dinner! The Super Burrito was huge and definitely enough to share or take home for later. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating when we had to switch out an order from it being too dry. Tip! If you want chicken as your choice of meat in a burrito or quesadilla, don't get the grilled chicken. If you want something with sauce, get the shredded chicken! Overall a great experience and everyone enjoyed their food! Will definitely be back again! read more

Absolutely phenomenal Mexican restaurant. The food was so good and so authentic I couldn't get enough. The ambience is really cool with a newer and older part and beautiful details throughout. This would've been a 5 star review if not for the service. We waited a considerable amount of time before even getting our drink order in and they weren't very busy. Otherwise this place is one of my new favorites!! read more

I hadn't been to the Mecca since I was a little kid and decided that it was time to give it a try. I'm so happy I did. I've noticed a lot of Mexican restaurants items all taste the same. This was different. Just how I remembered, each item having its own flavor. Nice to see some things haven't changed. The prices were fare and the wait time was minimal. The staff was friendly. What more can you ask for. read more

The New Meca has been located in the heart of Pittsburg throughout generations. They served Mexican food, as soon as you arrived the waitress serves you salsa, bean dip and chips at no cost. The service it's ok,nothing impressive, they got our order correct, however once they served you, they don't come back to check on you for refills or anything. They do stay busy with locals and regular customers. The food is ok, I had a chimichanga and the meat was tender but burned ... they don't offer aguas frescas,they only carry can sodas. Parking is outside on the street. read more
