La Mesa Mexican - Omaha

Always a great place to grab a meal! The food and drinks were excellent.

I used to eat here often but it has gone downhill a bit. Tastes like they changed a few recipes. Salsa was not as good but the pico was fine. Cheese enchiladas were still decent, but chicken came loaded with strange veggies. Beef taco meat was definitely not the same. Fajitas were very fatty with chunks of un rendered gristle in them. Shrimp fajitas were excellent. Beans were dry. Kids chicken fingers looked great but didn't try them. Possible I just need to try something new on the menu. Waitress started out great but got overwhelmed as she appeared to be alone (likely a staffing issue). Regardless, she was very kind. Didn't try the drinks this trip but the margaritas there were always great in the past.

Had a craving for chips and queso so stopped by randomly for a to go order. Even with no advanced notice during prime dinner hours got my order quickly with no issues. Service was super friendly up front and they provided way more chips than I expected! Will definitely go back again to sit down for a full meal!

Not a fan of la mesa, but my last visit there was definitely way better than the previous. A little expensive for the quality, but again everything was much better than the previous visit.

The portion seemed smaller this time. It's almost like they're cutting down on the portions rather than raise the prices. And thinking it's not noticeable.
