Mesa - Hamilton, Ontario

I discovered this charming Mexican restaurant on Google Maps, and it did not disappoint. The cozy atmosphere and enthusiastic, friendly servers made for a delightful dining experience. We started with the guacamole dip, which was incredibly fresh and perfectly seasoned. For our main courses, we had the Barbacoa flautas and a ... large chicken burrito. Every dish was absolutely delicious! The portion sizes were generous, especially the large chicken burrito, which was so big I couldn't finish it and took the rest home. Overall, our dining experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this place for its delicious food and impeccable, friendly service! Read more

Very cool spot for amazing Mexican food. Get the large burrito and you will not be disappointed. Make sure to start the menu with a drink as well. Lots of great beverages to go along with the food ... Tequila is always a great way to start a meal.

After hiking the nearby waterfront trail my companion and I stopped in at Mesa for a late lunch. We were seated promptly and the restaurant started to fill up a little more after we arrived. The ambiance and decor is pleasing and congruent with a Mexican theme. We both ordered the ... chimichangas, one with chorizo and the other with barbacoa, spicy. The food arrived and it was fresh and delicious. The hot sauce atop the chimichangas was spicy and had great depth of flavour. The barbacoa and chorizo tasted authentic and together with the rice, which was very well cooked and seasoned, was an extremely good combination and tasted delicious. The prices were very reasonable and we found it to be great value. The cheese inside the tortilla bound everything together very well without an overpowering cheesy taste which allowed the flavours of each item inside the tortilla to be appreciated. The beans were very tasty but the guacamole was lemony and lacked depth of flavour. Both sides were served with minimal pita chips which necessitated a need to order another side of pita chips for $4.50. Additionally, a serrated edged knife would have been better at cutting the tortilla. The service was a little inattentive and twice I needed to get up to request additional items. Overall a nice experience and might be back to try another dish. Read more

Had a lovely time there tonight on a family outing. We had tamales, enchiladas, nachos, and chimichanga. All were wonderful. We've been missing the taste of authentic Mexican and Mesa did not disappoint us. The hot sauce is to die for.

I am a big fan of Mexican food and it is a true gem discovery. Chicken Tamales just stole the show. The burrito was perfect and with the dip and sauce was so filling. They have corn tortilla options for most of the things and also the protein range is ... huge including lamb. Don’t forget to mention corn tortilla if you prefer that because the default is flour tortilla for many items. Read more
