We visited Red Mesa for a birthday dinner celebration and chose to sit outside to take advantage of the beautiful weather and inviting patio atmosphere. The setting was lovely and set the stage for what we hoped would be a great evening.

Unfortunately, the service left quite a bit to be desired. While our waitress was friendly, she was noticeably inattentive throughout the meal. With a larger group, we expected things to be a bit more challenging, but the level...

The shrimp and mahi tacos were particularly delicious! The marinated chicken was piled atop the barbacoa. hardly any fillers.
A college campus is nearby. Young servers who are capable of shaving, getting their hair cut, and maintaining personal hygiene are highly valued. This, in my opinion, is a management issue.
Overall, it's worth going back for the location, food, and service! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great spot downtown for a Mexican meal. Classic options and some good custom creations unique to the location. Had a delicious quick lunch with a half of sangria (all day Thursday) and brisket enchiladas. I love enchiladas and these were a great new version to try. Will definitely be back!
