Mesa Loca - Cincinnati

Ordered fajitas. Overcooked and zero flavor. Had to squeeze a lemon (no lime at home) and put salt on to eat. This is one of those places you say you aren’t coming back but after a few years later you do and beat yourself up again.

Guacamole had very little flavor, same with salsas. I had the Cobb salad which was bland and underwhelming. My friend had the shrimp tacos. Again, we just felt like the food was very bland and not flavorful, as you expect from a Mexican restaurant.

Walked in on a Saturday evening and placed our name on a wait list for outdoor seating even though there were open tables. The hostess noted we had about a 30 minute wait. After 30 minutes we noticed that other parties were entering and being seated although we had not been. The hostess walked by us and sat another new party that had entered and smirked as she passed us. We decided to leave because we felt unwelcome.

This is the second time I’ve come here, and it continues to be exceptional. There was a brief hiccup at the start, as they were out of the first few drinks I tried to order (they’re in a transitional period on their taps and sangrias), but Sydney was just so incredibly sweet about it, and the 50 west beer I settled on was amazing, I can’t be upset.Food came out LIGHTNING fast, but absolutely incredible. I was dreaming of the burria tacos all week, and they did not disappoint! My husband said the sweetest words a man can utter “would you like to split some nachos?” So glad we did. The chips are crispy, thick and flakey, and it was loaded with toppings. 10 out of 10.

Lovely evening on the patio, the carnitas burrito and shrimp tacos were perfection! Throw in a tasty margarita, and it's five stars! The server was very attentive, prices are reasonable, give this place a try, and you won't be disappointed!
