New Mexican Restaurants near Costa Mesa, CA

1 Maleza Costa Mesa

4.8 Superb 39 Reviews

2937 Bristol St E 100, Costa Mesa

“The food was amazing and was matched by the attentive staff and warm atmosphere. I particularly liked the hand painted ceiling and the artwork on the walls. Some of the dishes were quite unique in that I have not tried it anywhere else so to have these options here for the local dining scene is awesome. The shrimp ceviche was bold and fresh, the grilled branzino was smoky and cooked to perfection. The hamachi aquachile was a perfect mix of savory and spicy. The scallops were great too, I could have eaten a dozen of those things. The masa dumplings are a delicious and heavier option if you’re looking for comfort food. Also the drinks are very fun to try out, I wish I could have tried more drinks. Overall it’s worth the drive and the trip to come out here if you’re from out of town! And whoever lives nearby is lucky to have Maleza so close to home!”

“We had such a great experience! I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and my friend had the chicken enchiladas Michoacanas. Both dishes were full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and served fresh. We also had two margarita flights, and every flavor was delicious. The food, drinks, and overall experience were excellent. And our server Vanessa did an amazing job she was so attentive.”

“Highly recommend this place, the food was amazing, and the salsas were great, not to mention the great service! Daniel was really attentive and kind. I only got a couple of tacos but I will definitely be coming back! Some of the best carne asada i've had (shoutout to the cooks!!) Atmosphere was great too the open concept is great for a large group and also to come by and watch sports - with the world cup going on lots of people came with families or solo even to just have some great food and watch. If you are looking for good Mexican food and a great atmosphere stop by :)”

“French onion soup was absolutely delicious and we also got a side of fries. We took advantage of happy hour which made it awesome and the drinks are really cheap but because of the holiday it was extremely packed and I felt so bad for the bartenders because they just could not keep upon New Year’s. They had one bartender. Be prepared though you are going to be paying $20 for a burger.”

“Today my son and I decided to have Rodrigo's for lunch. Our server was Alainnah. I must say she was amazing. Friendly, professional. I told her we were pressed for time because my son was on his lunch break, she had our food out in a timely manner. My son and I had a wonderful experience today because of Alainnas service. Thank you Alainnah for your kindness and may you be blessed in all you do.”
