Try my brunch specialty! An order of the mofongo (their version of a pulled pork hash with yucca and plantains ) topped with a fried egg ! Ask for some of their salsa verde for a little extra kick!
Great place for latino food and great prices! There is a reserved parking spot for here but it is $6. Had the Seafood mofongo and wife the Jibarotos and both were deliceous. 8/10.
Try the shrimp Los Cabos ceviche . It has a definite bite to it but ask for homemade tortilla chips not the saltines they serve it with. They will always accommodate your substitutions like that!
FANTASTIC restaurant ! Great food (monfongo, jibarito, and shredded pork El Gordo are all recommended), great atmosphere + decor, and well priced! Service staff was super helpful and responsive too.
I had the chicken enchilada and was very good more then I could eat. Staff was friendly and efficient. Mid week they had 1/2 off drink specials made with fresh juices .
I know everybody raves about the duck tacos (very good hubby had them) but I had fish , shrimp and ahi . The shrimp were so so awesome!
Fantastic restaurant . Filet mignon burrito was both tasty and spicy . Try duck taco or tortas . Excellent gourmet spin on Mexican food . Margaritas were a bit weak though. Try the homemade tortilla chips
Seafood mofongo and take home one of their red mesa roja sauce. It's a spicy hot sauce and absolutely delish! Didn't care too much for their taco
Ahi Tuna Wrap is ONLY available during lunch hours! Try the salad w/ ur pick of a protein! Excellent place for dates & socializing. Follow @redmesacantina @amandavanover @avoproductions
Seafood mofongo - Sautéed shrimp , scallops , calamari , tomato , cilantro and rajas in tequila lime butter sauce - served over pork carnitas , plantain and yuca mofongo
Great food, the service is great, delicious food! It is trendy , all decorated with Mexican fighters pictures. Central location.
Ordered the Ahi Tuna salad which was quite tasty. Great value for money . Went on a Sunday night and the place was packed. Would definitely recommend for a casual dinner .
Love it! Food was great, atmosphere was awesome. We sat out by the fountain and loved it. Even if you're full, order dessert , you won't regret it!
Excellent take on modern Mexican. Reasonably priced for lunch . Ask about daily specials - they had frito pie when I was there and it was awesome. Ceviche was good not great.
Sunday Brunch is the bomb! El Gordo breakfast burrito is killer!! Bloody Mary's and Mimosas are great too!!
Loved this place!!!! Best place we ate at while on vaca! Make sure and try their house made hot sauce !
Great atmosphere, good staff , good food! The flavors are unique and delish!
It might not be a main dish, but the rice and beans that come with the burritos are absolutely delicious
Weekend brunch is unbeatable, especially the biscuits with chorizo gravy and fried egg . Pair with a samosa ... unreal.
Get the ceviche sampler, very good. Duck taco was interesting but a little too sweet. Jalapeño and the cucumber margaritas were excellent.
Duck quesadillas and premium margaritas are excellent. If you're feeling frisky, go for the beer tower!
Love this place. Sitting outside, quality excellent food and the servers are wonderful. Will be back again and again.
The Sirloin Chorizo Burger — served with Jack cheese , avocado , tomato , fried onions and chipotle aioli packs big, bold flavor in a habit-forming package. The Short List: one of our top 5 best burgers . Read more
Oyster shooters were amazing, ceviche fantastic. Service was good also. Thought the prices were very good, especially for the atmosphere.
Service is great!! Food is delicious and the spicy margarita is fantastic!!
Long a St. Pete favorite, Red Mesa adds a touch of sophistication usually missing from Mexican food . The Southwestern menu here is surprisingly large, with enough options to satisfy most tastes.
We eat lunch here almost every Friday! Love, love, love the food here. Everything is so tasty but for me the best dish is the mahi stack!
Try the Camarones Breakfast Burrito - Scrambled eggs , shrimp , fresh tomato , spinach , kalamata olives and feta cheese topped with chipotle cream sauce and queso fresco .
Love this place! Quality Food at a Great Value , you will leave this place with a smile!
If you don't get the Mofongo you are a fool. The servers here are always so genuine and knowledgeable !
Went to a Christmas party in the ballroom and it was a great time. I would recommend the event space .
Made me a keto friendly bowl. It was delicious
Chimichanga is delish. Get sides of sauce ahead of time. Not enough salsa , sour cream , guacamole on meals.
Everything is good. If your getting tacos be sure to order at least two.
Yellowfin tuna tostado and steak el gordo ! Really cool place and good service too!
Whatever you choose here you will not be disappointed. Coconut - ginger Mojito is soooo refreshing
BEST Mexican Restaurant/Tequila Bar in Tampa Bay ! Crab & Shrimp Quesadillas , Duck Tacos , Bombas, & strong, happy hour $3 Margaritas !
The chicken taquitos are delicious! And get the churros for dessert !
Fajita Wednesday's are awesome! Beef , chicken or shrimp !
Two more days until Saturday Brunch ! Get the Norteno or the Steak burrito ! For something a little lighter get the eggs benedicto!

Good view and great food - Thomas K
Tacos are a-mazing! Good tamales too. Don't forget the sauces on the side table! - Tasteful Traveler
Great selection of cocktails and cool decor. Hard to fit through the young college kid crowd on a weekend night. Otherwise, try one of the 5 mules! - K
Everything is under $5. Food is great. Fun place to have a drink and or hang out. Cool place. - Jose Martinez
Be sure to join a docent-led tour. We learned so much and then did the audio tour, too. I liked it all much more than I had expected! - Jane Schildroth
