Great little place first time going burrito and tacos are really good
Outdoor self serve style. Delicious tacos and agua fresca margaritas
Delicious 😋
First time here, used the drive thru. The guys working where very friendly. Asked if this was the first time there and explained portions.(if you're hungry a butrito is probably not enough, you might want a taco with it, and tacos are 5 inches) They have a sign that they cook with beef tallow but vegetarian is an option . Got an order ot hand made tortillas 10/10, and a cheese ans bean burrito. The green salsa was not my favorite, but the tomatillo was bomb.
Taco Mesita has some nice tasty tacos — we tried them all and they were very good ! Juicy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced.
That said, the dining experience comes with a few bumps. It’s outdoor-only seating, which can get chilly depending on the weather. They do have heaters, but getting them started is hit or miss — a bit of a struggle if you're trying to stay warm.
The biggest issue is the service model. There’s just one line for everything — ordering, paying, and even if you just want more salsa. We ran out halfway through our meal, waited 15 minutes just to get some, and by then, our food was cold. Honestly, a simple self-serve salsa station would fix this instantly.
Overall, delicious tacos and worth a visit — but they really need to streamline their setup to match the quality of the food.
For a Mexican fast food stand, this place is amazing. The food is not fast food. Absolute high-quality and gourmet. Wonderful staff. Everything cooked with beef tallow. No seed oils Fabo.
Idk why they try making their own kind of burrito and taste but no good. I may have gotten the wrong steak burrito but wasn’t expecting that sweet flavor on a steak burrito. Hot sauce is what makes a taco or burrito and not spicy at all. Will not come back for the taste. Service and everything else was good.
Used to love this place, and came all the time. However, they recently started using beef tallow instead of oil, which is not vegetarian or vegan friendly. While they have a sign that says that’s an option that you must now ask for, they will not tell you when you’re ordering at the drive-through. When you pull up to the window and see the sign and you ask them for a vegetarian option, they will lie to you and tell you they recognized you on the camera and already started cooking your food in the vegetarian option. It’s extremely offensive that someone would lie to your face and expect you to believe it so that you will pay for the food they’ve already started cooking in a manner in which you did not order. We used to love this place, but will never come here again.
I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito and it was the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten. I hate restaurants trying to be fancy with foods that just need to stay a classic. I was told it had chorizo,egg,potatoes and cheese. What it really had was little tiny pieces of chorizo sausage cut up, raw running egg and cooked egg white, two little pieces of potatoes, beans, onions and green bell peppers and no cheese. The texture was slimy and under cooked. It was so gross I will never be back after that.
Fresh tasty tacos in a cute patio setting , quick service , the drive thru is great too!

Delicious food. Nice smoke flavor on the chicken and steak. Clean and authentic.
It was a random Sunday night and decided to try this spot out. Fortunately without knowing, we arrived within the last hour of closing time and they had happy hour! $2 margaritas! We tried their tacos and had a really good seasoning and overall flavor. I’ve already recommended this location to friends and family and say the same thing. Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed the cheese taquitos which the owner made for our event! They were absolutely delicious and everyone loved them!!! My friend and I also had the rotisserie chicken tacos and I must say they tasted so fresh and the salsa was absolutely amazing. My husband and I are actually going there today to eat up and enjoy. Thank you so much for making such great, healthy food!!!!!

The best mexican food I have had in the area hands down. This is exactly what I was looking for. Everything is made there and you can tell when you try any of their food or drinks. Will totally be back.
We really love Taco Mesa, so when we heard they opened another restaurant, we were excited to try it, especially since it's just down the street from us. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed. The food isn't bad, just not what we expected since we we're so used to the amazing food at Taco Mesa. My sister got a taco that had pickled cactus on it. She wasn't a fan. I got the chicken burrito, which to me was just kind of bland. To top it off, the burritos are soooooo small, and cost like $13. The holy piña drink was very good though. I don't think I'll go back, I'll stick with Taco Mesa.
