Mesa Grande Taqueria

The food here was absolutely delicious. I ordered the burrito bowl with Barbacoa shredded beef and the works topped with crunchy tortillas yum. The customer service was very friendly and attentive. The Ambiance was calm comfortable and peaceful. I will be coming back again for sure. Highly recommended!! 5/5 Stars!! A+++

Mesa Grande is an Auburn staple. It's one of the few places where I can reliably get a good meal relatively quickly. You're best going in person, but there is online ordering and pickup available. Just make sure you order well in advance, since there's often a 30-45 min+ wait. (And that's a real ETA, they don't usually have it ready sooner, but at least the good is warm). It seems like business has been a little strained lately with price increases and menu options decreasing (RIP pollo tirado) but I'm happy to keep my money local so I oblige. You have the option to eat in if you choose (no table service). It seems like folks opt for eating there less compared to pre-pandemic times. I like eating on site in the summer since they have a covered outdoor area. It's definitely a great place to visit and certainly better than the chipotle that just came to town! I wish they had a rewards system like chipotle, but I still love them regardless!

The food and service were great. Every time we've been there the staff has been very quick and attentive. Chips and salsa are fresh and good tasting.

Can't go wrong. Location downtown and outdoor seating during the summer. Parking not a issue unless you don't like packing in backwards into the street slot :)

Always good and fresh food. This is the first time I've been to the Auburn location saddened when the township five location closed during Covid. Staff are always very accommodating and generous with preparing your food. They now have tofu that you can include in your bowl or burrito. It is cut very small and seasoned so it's really nice. We came as a group of four and all left full and happy.

Place was not really clean. No printed menus, you had to watch the scroll to try to see what was available. No one in front or behind us and server was just pushing us through the order sequence. Most items did not look fresh, I asked and was assured they were fresh.
We saw tacos, thought they were $6.95. Anyway my wife and I both ordered tacos for lunch. $28.35 !
Shredded beef was stringy, cubed beef was chewy, really not good, and not a value at almost thirty dollars.

We try to got to mom and pop shops all the time. This is locally owned so we tried and very disappointing. One and done for sure, will not return.

A friend chose this restaurant to meet and at first sight I was a little nervous bc it looks similar to a Moe's or Chipotle and while I like Moe's I find it expensive and I don't like Chipotle at all bc they put cilantro (aka poison) in everything. But the food here was excellent, cilantro was only in one variety of rice and the salsa but there was plenty of other toppings to choose from and two other kinds of rice. It was less expensive than either Moe's or Chipotle and I left feeling full. Very enjoyable.

Food is always great, good customer service aswell, however food is a little overpriced for how much you get.

One of my favorite places! The burrito is the size of a small football, the tacos, quesadilla and nachos are equally as filling! Huge portions! My kids love that they have kids meals. They also love their Guac and Queso! Pair them with homemade chips, so yummy!!! I can't fail to mention they have wine slushies! The pricing is decent. A burrito, quesadilla, 3 tacos (hard or soft shell), kids quesadilla, queso, 2 sides of Guac (bc it's too yummy to share), chips and drinks was about $67. I didn't think that was awful, considering all the food we got.

You really can't go wrong... I'm trying everything on the menu now it's just all equally awesome! Here is fun family friendly and they have amazing margaritas are! A perfect combination for a restaurant you want to come back to you again and again! They make brown crispy taco shells and the way to put them together some dreams are made out of! YummyFv
