Part of another trio of Mexican restaurants (why are Mexican restaurants coming in threes?), the original Mesa Rosa offers good food and good service. This is probably one of my most dined restaurants. The tacos come buried under a mix of Monterrey Jack and cheddar, with shredded lettuce and tomatoes. You almost can’t find your taco. The ground meat is finely ground and nearly drip free. Mesa Rosa’s salsa is outstanding. It’s not so spicy as to make you sweat, but had a good flavor and just the right amount of cilantro. The onions and tomatoes are chopped large enough to where their flavor isn’t lost in the sauce. Everything on thier menu is good. Another place where I've never had a bad meal or a cold dish that shouldn't be. Being a family run and owned restaurant the service is always prompt and attentive. Even though they are always busy, there’s nearly never a wait. Mesa Rosa is high on my list as a place to go back to.
