Great service last night! Good food! My only thing is it's so loud in there 😄😄! But it's people enjoying themselves, and that's the point of meals, in my humble opinion.

It was overpriced a bit. Good service! Good atmosphere! I order a burrito supreme every time I eat Mexican food, so I can't speak to the other dishes. The rice is dry and the portions are small. The burrito is overly greasy. The beans are very good!!

If I could rate this higher, I would in a heartbeat! I had the Taquitos Mexicanos with shredded beef and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The service was amazing, they were very quick to fill waters and get our orders. Our waiter was amazing, one of the nicest and most charming person I've met. The atmosphere was great too, the outside was inviting with a bunch of lights and the inside had a fun and festive feeling to it. 10/10

This is hands down the best mexican restaurant in the entire area and nearly matches the authentic cuisine I had in Mexico. The staff is friendly and attentive, often asking if we need anything and keeping our drinks full. I got the queso and the steak quesadilla, which were both amazing. Both times my friends and I have been here, We've finished our entire meal and left very satisfied. The prices are incredibly affordable, too, with my entire meal being under $20 when including my sweet tea and queso.

Super quick service! Staff is always super friendly! They make sure that you get enough salsa chips, and beverages! Food is seasoned perfectly! i’m not sure where all these bad reviews are coming from but that isn’t our Mexican restaurant! Manager Roberto always makes sure that the food is perfect! this is by far the best Mexican restaurant my family has been to!

2023: Food seems to be getting better. Steak was decently cook this time, not a piece of shoe leather. Service was ok. Atmosphere looks like a decoration shop threw up inside a Mexican restaurant.

2024: Food is much better, almost reminiscent of the old restaurant.

Excellent service paired with food of similar quality results in a great dining experience for everyone. Twice now, I’ve dined here and I’ve been satisfied both times. Both the quality and quantity of food are a steal for the price you pay. I cannot recommend this establishment enough.

Closest to southern California Mexican food that I've found in the south.

Review №41

I have been giving this place several chances. Today I go in with my son that lives over there. I ordered the chicken and cheese quesadillia. Shredded chicken. The waiter says ok. Well he brings our food and my quesadillia is full of shrimp. So I call him over. He shows me the ticket and said you said shrimp. No. I am allergic to shrimp. Why would I order shrimp. That's like being allergic to bees and trying to catch yellow jackets by hand. Love the calera location. I will Never visit this establishment again....I'm sure they are great people and people make mistakes. But to tell me I ordered shrimp when i didn't is beyond ridiculous. My son said dad you clearly said chicken and cheese, shredded chicken. I know this. Besides the soup, it's all I eat....

The best Mexican food I've had in along time. There was only 1 waiter due to lack of staff, but I can say Sonny did his job very well. Waiting on multiple tables at one time and still holding his composure smiling answering all questions didn't forget anything we ask for. Very clean friendly environment. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. I will be going back and taking some friends and family. Again I would like to say the food is very good. Try the Quesdo Brillo. Different marinated beef and slow cooked served on a corn Taco shells, with soup onions cilantro and spicy dipping sauce mmmm delicious.

I'll give it another try one day because the service was great, but my meal was mediocre at best. There was an "off" flavor to the taco meat.

Update: I tried this restaurant again and had a different dish. The service was still great, no complaints there, but the food just simply isn't that good. I'm sad about that because I wanted to like it

This is the second time we’ve driven 30 monies out of our way just to go eat here. The servers are fantastic, their food is verrrry good, how good? Good enough that my picky eater kids have eaten their whole plate both times!! The atmosphere is just relaxing, and their drinks… man just keep them coming they were so good! I honestly recommend anyone going through the area to just stop on by! You won’t regret it!

Good food but great service. I'm not hard to please but the last few years I've seen the quality of service plummet everywhere eveb at nice restaurants so a friendly staff that checks on you just the right amount was a nice surprise. And the prices were reasonable. I got a big plate of steak nachos and complementary chips and salsa for $10.50.

I don’t usually do negative reviews. Ordered take out. It was not a very easy order. I admit that. However when I walked in to pay the girl behind the counter was talking about me and my order in español as if I had no clue what she was saying. I speak Spanish. Responded in English trying to laugh about how difficult it was and play nice. She ignored me the whole time. I took order out to car checked it and it was wrong. I simply asked if they could make it right. Owner did his best. But the girl that was talking about me and my order proceeded to tell me quesadillas don’t come with cheese. She just couldn’t handle the fact she got it wrong. If she just contained herself until I left and talked about me and my order with out doing it front of my face, Like anyone else that works in the food industry. All would be fine.

I’d like to add the food 100 percent made me sick.

We really enjoyed everything. The decor is very nice. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. The salsa was good. The chips were crispy and solid enough so that i only broke one in the guacamole. We also enjoyed the queso dip. I had a steak chimichanga. The steak was the best i have had at a mexican restaurant in quite a while. Crazy good flavor. We will certainly be eating there again.

Usually ok food. It's expensive for the quality of food being served, in my opinion. Ok for families/large parties. I will say that our most recent experience was garbage. My daughter ordered Pollo fundido and the waiter brought Pollo fajitas and then would not take them back and get her what she ordered. Blamed it on a language barrier. I suggest ordering by number if you eat here.

The staff listened and put everything together so well. There was lots of food and all the things we asked for. All of the guests loved it! Thank you Las Mesas!

This is the first place I NEVER ran out of drinks or chips. I'm not sure I even got halfway down with a drink. Then I got the salsa and queso. The salsa was smooth and just the right amount of kick, and the queso was perfect. Finally, the food itself was amazing. I would have eaten more, but I could only eat so much. I will be back.

I called and from the get go I figured my order would be messed up. I ordered chicken and rice soup with extra rice in the soup and no avocado and pico in it, because I can’t eat avocado, and a burrito from the lunch menu and asked for rice with that. When she repeated it back to me none of it was what I ordered so I had to reiterate what I wanted which was fine. She charged me for 2 orders of rice which came out to like 7 dollars which isn’t what I ordered, one side was a decent amount but they only put like a spoon full of rice in with the burrito. Got home, low and behold there was pico and avocado in the soup so I didn’t eat it, and the burrito was not that good either so I took the chicken out and gave it to my dog. Long story short I spent 29 dollars on a little cup of soup and a burrito off the lunch menu that I didn’t even eat, I should’ve just went to Taco Bell. Most likely won’t be back.

My experience here has to be the worst due to the customer service. The reason why is because there happened to be a fly that got on my food twice! When asked to exchange it, I was told by 1 of the employees, "That it was nothing that she could do because the manager was gone" (as she claimed). Afterwards, I also asked for a discount only to be told the same thing again! With that being said, I will definitely not be visiting nor eating from here ever again! Furthermore, if I could give it 0 stars based on this 1 experience then I definitely would!
