Red Mesa Grill-Traverse City

The food was your average mex food. Not as good as I remembered. Disappointing overall. The hostess was clueless - she clearly did not want to be there. Cleared tables sat empty for 20 min as the lobby was packed with people waiting. They were understaffed. We did not see a waitress. The bartender took our order and did a great job. He was hustling all night for sure.,

Food was to be expected at any good local Mexican restaurant. Service was very good.

Pretty good food. I had the shrimp and Chorizo enchiladas. Nice spin on enchiladas. I also ordered the fried ice cream. Beware, it has jalapeños in the chocolate sauce but it was very good. 2-4 people can share it. I was by myself and there was plenty of seating, but I was informed that there would be a 35 minute wait. It was a Monday night! I felt like the host at the door was giving long wait times to discourage persons from staying. 12 people came in while I waited my 20 minutes and 9 of them left because she told them that the wait was 45 minutes plus.

Fun dining experience with outstanding service and vegetarian food selection. Yummy homemade chips. Generous portions.

Great place to eat!

Our waitress was not very friendly, but the place overall seemed to have an okay vibe. There was a ton of dust and cobwebs hanging from the decoration above the table that was super offputting. Of our party of three, the only good dish was the steak quesadilla. The Carribean shrimp tacos were bland, and the carribean chicken quesadilla had more pineapple than actual meat. The reso margarita was warm and had an off taste that was likely from the warm sour mix. I'd maybe give it another try for fajitas or something i knew was cooked fresh, but it did not hit the spot the first night we got into town.

Unfortunately they changed their menu. Chips & salsa not free and their new menu is pricey.

Came in at the last minute and sat outside. They were kind enough to welcome our dogs with us. Nice cold beer and margaritas and the food was absolutely outstanding. We are big Mexican aficionado’s but our hometown doesn’t have anything like this. Just fantastic!

Waiter forgot to leave silverware at the beginning of our visit and took about 40 minutes to serve my food and we got our check and she made us wait like a good 35 minutes just to take my payment I wouldn’t recommend this place service is so poor rather go to tacos las lagunas service there is so much better and food comes out faster never coming to this place again :( server needs to find a new job

For my Latino community, this isn’t authentic Mexican Food. Food is NOT made by Mexican Individuals. Usually restaurants give out chips but here nah, you got to pay extra. I order a meal with Tacos with rice & beans. Mind you it’s always been 3 , they gave 2. Very stingy with food portions.

Good lord. The Birria is extraordinarily. Ask for extra consume. The stuffed pablanos are wonderful also. Service is great.

Very generous portions. Fair prices. Friendly people and great food

Not the best I have eaten. The service was good, the atmosphere was average. I would not go here again.

Not what it used to be. We always made a point to come here for the “wet” burritos. But who ever their executive chef is decided to “revamp” the menu. Not nearly the choices and the layout is wacky. But apparently the don’t do ground beef. Like who does that especially if you’re trying to cut costs? I don’t know poor decision in my book and now we need to find a new place as we won’t be back. Just not a fan.

Highly disappointed that I drove an hour and a half one day to get mogo mogo fritters only to find out they took them off their menu. The best thing hands down at this restaurant.
