Incredibly inconsistent-- and we used to frequently visit. Every few weeks we've been giving this place another opportunity... still disappointed. Beans are either too runny or too salty, basically no vegan items at breakfast/brunch unless you get a bean burrito (but no one can seems to answer tje question of 'is the tortilla vegan'? The table salsa used to be accessible and was great; now they restrict it and put it in tiny cups. How hard is it to make decent frijoles or get the rice finished in the morning? Just so expensive for what they serve now as well- Taco Bell sized bean burrito for $10.
Really good food and quick service and self seating in this location and burritos are worth it and I like the bowls with pork and then the order was wrong for one of my items but the speed of them making it right was immediate! I love this place
Had an absolutely phenomenal time eating at Red Mesa! This is one of our MUST spots when visiting St. Pete’s. Service is fast, food is fire & it’s right next to Green Bench. Can’t say anything bad about this place! This time around I got a brisket bowl with no rice. 🔥🔥🔥
Casual outdoor seating, good for groups or singles. Music playing overhead added to the ambiance... the playlist was a range of 80's -2000's hits all without the same old pop hits being recycled a million times. There's a bunch of large picnic tables with fans blasting near the ceiling that provide shade, as well as metal square tables for four on the other side...you can order and pick up your food at any of the windows clearly labeled. There is also a separate drink & refills pick up window. Free ice water for customers only. The menu which is on a large digital display is straightforward and offers a lot of choices. My 2 Mojo Chicken tacos were street-style. The chicken was not seasoned as well as I had hoped and was noticeably dry. Also, there was hardly any cilantro in comparison to the onion. The salsa verde on the side was very good and added a lot of flavor to my tacos. The "dragon fruit lemonade soda" was just okay. There was hardly any lemonade flavor to it and mostly soda. The service was fast, friendly, and professional.
Street parking, outdoor seating, plenty of fans, friendly service. All the food is delicious. Love their sauces. Never disappointed!
