La Mesa

Will definitely be returning. Prices are decent. The pernil platter was delicion. The salmon platter was fried salmon strips ( i should have read the description better and would have preferred baked or grilled salmon.) Both platters came with yellow rice and beans, and pico. The salmon platter alsoo had avocado. The serving sizes were generous. We saved half of our plates for lunch the next day. We also had some soft shell tacos with some sort of sausage which was finger licking good but they were devoured during dinner so nothing was saved for lunch.

We walked in to order our food, it was about a 20 minute wait, so we went to grab ice cream from Carvel (BOGO Wednesdays), which was about a block away and walked back. We hung out in the parking lot as the inside was kind of small and it was a beautiful day outside. The food came out 8 minutes sooner than we were told, and the gentleman behind the counter brought it out to us in the parking lot. Which was a pleasant surprise that we appreciated.

I can't wait to try different food but will definitely be getting the sausage taco again.

Words can't describe how much I love La Mesa. I've been ordering from them over a year for myself personally. I've also had them cater 2 work events. The quality of the food is top notch. The taste of the food is immaculate. The customer service is spectacular. Special shout out to Marc for all the countless times he's explained in great detail what each dish entailed and overall just being super kind and super nice. A big plus in my book is that everything is reasonably priced (even during this crazy time of inflation). And the portions are generous. If you are looking for flavorful food that will delight your tastebuds, check out La Mesa. I highly recommend.

La Mesa, at Massapequa, Long Island, NY, is a cozy, hybrid, Filipino and Central American fare.

The cost to quantity is on the upper end, which may deter some folks from going to this establishment and instead go to another restaurant of the same fare but more cost efficient.

The quality, though, is I think on the upper end. We've visited a few times and have always had a wonderful time. We've enjoyed our meals here and do not have a complaint. I also want to commend Maki, who made sure we received our refund for an overcharge on our bill. I recommend this place if around the Massapequa, South Shore area. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
