    What makes it fun

    Tacos meet tequila and romance gets a little spicy at Doce Mesas. Doce Mesas has a cozy indoor/outdoor flow and a breezy, modern vibe that feels like a mini getaway in the city. Start with the chips and guac or queso as a warm-up, then share tacos, ceviche, or anything from the fresh, elevated Mexican-coastal menu. Pair your meal with a hand-shaken margarita or a frozen sangria swirl, clink glasses, and let the smooth drinks loosen more than just conversation. Whether you settle on the patio under soft lights or inside for a cozier feel, the vibe is just right for laughter, lingering glances, and maybe a second round.

    Absolutely exceeded my expectations! We ordered the Carne Tampiqueña and Salmon Jalisco, and both dishes were outstanding. The flavors were unique, the meat was incredibly tender, and the salmon had the perfect sauce combination — every bite was delicious. The service was just as impressive. Our waiters were attentive, friendly, and checked in with us often to make sure everything was perfect. We even got to see them celebrate a birthday at another table — they sang with such enthusiasm and even changed the music for the moment, which made the whole restaurant feel lively and welcoming. Doce Mesas truly delivered on both flavor and atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    This place has good vibes, great food and amazing margaritas. I ordered a plate of shrimp tacos - which was delicious. They give complementary chips and salsa - which was good, my friend ordered fish tacos that she really liked. I loved that the classic margarita was not sweet. One thing though- it can get very loud and crowded on a Friday evening, but if that doesn’t bother you much- this place is worth it!

    WOW - this food was truly amazing and authentic! I enjoyed the aesthetic, particularly the outdoor covered seating. It had Miami vibes with the music playing. We got complimentary chips and salsa to start, delicious. We ordered the recommended queso & guacamole as well. The guac was unbelievable and the queso was quite delicious too, although I could pass on that next time, especially since it was $18. I ordered the fish of the day with rice and veggies and WOW it was just delicious. Even the rice was perfect. My friend enjoyed her margarita & fajitas & I opted for an alcohol free strawberry water & it was tasty. The servers are busy so they don’t make you feel special by any means but that was fine, as we weren’t needing to be doted on. We arrived at 5:30 and had no issue with getting a table for two, but it started to get quite crowded and around 7 there were a lot of people waiting. I went inside to use the restroom and wouldn’t have enjoyed the experience as much if we had been sitting inside.

    Overall, I enjoyed the food here but felt that it was overpriced for what you got. We started off with chips, salsas, and queso. The chips are of high quality and I found the salsa and queso quite enjoyable. We got margaritas (Classic and a mambo). The mambo was good but I felt that the classic was much better. For the entrees, we got the al pastor tacos and the blancas enchiladas. The flavor was well done on both plates and I would get them both again. Sitting on the patio is great on a nice day and the service was overall fine with no issues.
