Fodor's Expert Review La Mesa Restaurant and Lounge

If you like dining out to feel like an event, then tropical, Tulum-inspired La Mesa is for you, especially if you are visiting with a group or celebrating a special event. With lush greenery and palm trees, ambient mood lighting from candles and hanging lanterns and lamps, live music and outlandish live shows, and specialty cocktails, you might be forgiven for forgetting to eat. But you'd be missing out on the excellent modern Mexican fare of chef Brent Sick's kitchen.
