I am a Bobby Flay fan! What better way to celebrate being a fangirl than eat at one of his restaurants!
I was seated right away by the hostess. I dont drink, so I didnt get their margarita which was popular. I ordered the infamous tamale with shrimps, and had shrimp tacos as per the waiter's recommendation. While waiting for my orders, they served some complimentary bread. There were three kinds, but the jalapeno corn bread was the most remarkable. It was crumbly yet still moist. I had the tamale and the flavors were bursting in my mouth. Shrimps cooked nicely, NOT overcooked. I particularly liked the accompaniment of corn and cream with it. My shrimp tacos were just okay. The tortillas were good, mango paired with the shrimps had good flavors but I was expecting more "iron-chefly" than the tacos I had.
My bill was around $50 without the tip. Good experience at Mesa, but I think it's an overkill. ;)
