Best Authentic Restaurants in Mesa

The drinks were great and an awesome value at happy hour. We had the pepperoni flatbread and it was very yummy. Great ambiance and fun bartenders. We felt very taken care of. Lovely place and the hidden entrance is super cool.

The only very small issue with our visit to Buca in Mesa was at check-in. We arrived 5 min early for our reservation but there was no one at the Host station and there were several people in the lobby, some already checked in and some not. It was about 10 min before a hostess appeared, obviously she was busy in the restaurant. We checked in and it was another 15 min before we were seated although when seated it wasn’t busy so not sure about the delay. After that it was great. Our server was helpful with selections and very patient and pleasant. Food arrived in a timely manner and everything was very good. We had a group of 8 so tried 4 different items and shared and everyone in our group enjoyed all the choices. We all thought the cost was very good as well with food, wine and tip coming in at $85/couple, quite reasonable for an evening out these days. I had been before but others hadn’t although everyone commented they would return.

The staff was outstanding and answered all our questions as it was the first time there. The chips and sals were very good and the meal was good as well!

Authentic food and experience!!! So delicious, and the service was great. Lunch buffet is worth it too.

Great service and fun setting. Seated quickly after check in. I was disappointed that they did not have the 2 first menu items I ordered. Guacamole was good but the tacos were a bit dry.
