    Creative Tacos and Tapas

    Great Cuban/Mexican food

    Red Mesa is a fantastic place to eat. Some of the dishes we had were a little spicy but delicious. The drinks were cold and they had an unique selection. Might be the best rice and beans I’ve ever had. Will return.

    A fun, casual spot for dinner

    This place was crazy busy on a warm Saturday night! There was a wait for outdoor seating so we chose to eat inside. It was extremely loud so if you’re looking to have lots of conversation, I’d wait for an outside table! Our server and...More

    Hi William, if what you're asking is if we're dog friendly, indeed we are. Just let the hostess know you're accompanied by your dog and they'll take great care of you both. :)
