About Buena Mesa

Buena Mesa is a locally owned restaurant that has received mixed reviews. While some customers praise the good service and consider it a hidden gem for enjoying a meal with friends and family, others have criticized the food quality. One customer found the oysters to be bland and the steak flavorless, but another enjoyed the delicious steak and lobster from the $40 special menu. The atmosphere was described as sad, with broken tables and torn booth seats, though the bathrooms were clean. Despite some shortcomings, the owner took the time to give a tour of the upcoming patio and the musicians played a variety of Latin music, adding to the overall experience. Recent visitors have described the food as delicious and reasonably priced, with friendly staff and a nice menu. One customer, who visited during a slow night, appreciated the quiet environment and good service, recommending the place highly. Another group, celebrating a birthday, found the food amazing, the service excellent, and felt very welcomed. Buena Mesa seems to attract both loyal customers and those who feel it may be better suited for drinks at the bar rather than dining.
