This was our first time to eat here so we were curious as to how the food will be like. However, being on a diet and not that adventurous, we decided on ordering the laing, garlic chicken and pork barbecue.
Laing is basically taro leaves cooked with coconut cream mixed with pork and shrimp paste topped with adobo flakes. They served it in the traditional and crispy way. My wife and I are laing fans and this was the best we have tasted so far. It wasn't spicy and the adobo flakes added some pizzaz to the overall taste. Five stars for sure.
The way the garlic chicken was prepared was a surprising delight. The mixture of honey and garlic glaze gave the meat a certain degree of deliciousness. My only nit was that there were quite an amount of bones included. Because of that I will only rate this at four stars.
Their pork barbecue was not much different from the usual fare found in every Filipino restaurant. The serving was quite generous though. 3.5 stars
To go with these entrees we had garlic rice, again not much different from most Filipino restaurants. I will also rate this at 3.5 stars.
Service was outstanding! The waiters and staff were polite and attentive to the needs of the customers.
Five stars for that.
One distinguishing aspect of Mesa is their quaint tilted glass which I find rather cute.
Price-wise, an entree ranges from P180 and up. Our total order came to about P750
Overall, considering the quality and taste of the food, the service and the ambiance, I'd rate Mesa at four stars.
