About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Good for groups
  • Hot spot
Mesita, which translates to “small table”, serves authentic, modern, Mexican cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere. The menu, created by Chef Antonio Chicas, features fresh guacamole prepared table-side, mouth-watering Mexican street corn, fire-grilled fajitas, along with burritos, tortas, tacos and many other house-made Mexican dishes. The combination of our traditional menu and playful décor with our rustic Mexican flair provides a dining experience that truly embodies the Mexican spirit. Mesita is the newest addition to the Rockville Centre restaurant scene and we are steps away from the LIRR.

    The drinks, which are usually great, were subpar at best. My wife had to send her Pina Colada back twice. The quacomole dip was not as good compared to past visits. The noise level was annoying due to an out of control child running around restaurant and standing on chairs reaching for the overhead lighting fixture. This was never addressed by the manager. I was very disappointed by the entire experience and may never return. However, out of fairness to the cook, the food quality was very good.

    Our drinks were very good and food and desserts were decent. I am giving 3 stars because of my service from our waiter. He took long periods of time getting back to us and was not very attentive. It felt like a hassle to try to get his attention. If my service was better, I would have given the place 4 stars.

    It was a good experience overall. The food was tasty, but it was very busy and difficult to get assistance. Other than that, it was enjoyable.

    The table we were placed at was under a leak in the ceiling so that was a lot of fun to deal with. Service was good and the staff was all really nice but the food portions are all so small and so expensive. the only good value are the drinks tbh

    Hi Jessica, thank you for the review. We are so sorry about the ceiling and we will relay this to the manager. We hope you still got to enjoy your meal and we can welcome you back again soon.
