About this restaurant

Innovative
Great for outdoor dining
Romantic

Mesa Loca is a unique concept designed to blend the modern restaurant and ambiance of a chic lounge into one. We will deliver the ultimate matchless, superior service to Hyde Park, offering a high energy dynamic, dining experience with a vibe driven approach to dining out.
Mesa Loca is excited to showcase our patio dinning and especially happy to show off our newly renovated hidden courtyard for additional outside seating. However Mesa Loca does not accept reservations for patio seating due to weather changes, so make sure to arrive early.

Decent tacos. Margaritas have a delicious salt/spice mix? on the side of the glass which is worth tasting!

We live nearby to Hyde Park Square and decided to take advantage of the balmy evening and out door availability. We made a 6:00pm reservation and arrived a little early. A quick walk around the block suggest by the hostess and a call when an outside table was available put us right at 6:00pm! Dinner was good: tacos all around (a variety of choices) a couple of beers and we were all set. Emily was a great waitperson...

Mesa Loca has an outstanding patio and, absent snow, sleet or rain, should hold up reasonably well over the coming COVID winter. Plenty of propane heat lamps surround the tables, although the one over our table was malfunctioning. Not a problem that evening - it was in the 50s - but I'm sure they'll get it fixed. For starters, I can recommend the premium margarita enough. Outstanding with a good kick, tangy flavor and a specialty salt (or something) around the glass rather than just the edge. It gets on your fingers when you pick the glass up, so make sure you hand sanitize first and then don't be shy about licking your fingers. Chips and chorizo queso were a delicious starter and the restaurant is generous with their portions. My wife and I split two taco dishes - one chicken (mesa fuego) and the other beef (carne asada) and both were excellent thanks, in large part, to the ingredients added to each. The chicken was a little dry, so next time I'll try one of the seafood tacos. We also shared a side order of manchego rice and it was well worth it. Strongly recommended. The vibe outside is wonderful. It's well-lit but not too bright and the energy of Hyde Park Square is there, even though you're not too close to the street to pick up the exhaust. We'll go back.
