Excellent food. Service is good. Nice patio, although a little traffic today. The corn pizza was overcooked today (it usually isn't). Decent prices. Get the watermelon salad.
Exceptional Margheritas and tacos!
Small menu that has excellent choices. Service was personable and the area is a quiet neighborhood that is very pleasant.

La Mesa is a neighborhood gem known for its delicious food and excellent service. The Ecuadorian plate and sweet corn pizza remain highly recommended, with dishes like chicken tacos, llapingachos, and platanos con queso also receiving praise. Guests can enjoy tasty guac and chips, along with great cocktails and vibes, making it a perfect spot for a meal or a fun date night. The best fish tacos and fabulous cauliflower soup are still must-tries, and the amazing panna cotta for dessert is not to be missed.
This hidden gem features a great outdoor space for summer dining and a very nice patio. The weekly specials, such as slow-roasted pork with chimichurri sauce, are delicious and add variety to the menu. While some guests have noted that the pacing of service can be slow and portions may be on the smaller side for the price, the attentive staff and quick food service help maintain a welcoming atmosphere. Live music enhances the dining experience, and the menu highlights vegan options. Locals often visit La Mesa for something different than a typical bar and grill.
