Red Mesa Grill

Grouper tacos were great. Id get 3 of those next time I come here! Really nice place with friendly staff.

I've stopped here on a few occasions but I have to say my last stop was not the best. Seems they've changed the recipe of the salsa?

Always great service and great food! The staff has obviously been hired because they have the ability to connect with customers and seem to truly enjoy working there! Management also checks in during your meal to see that everything is satisfactory.

It's nice to see a pork burrito that's mostly meat instead of filler. Nice ambiance. Really excellent salsa. Definitely recommend.

Not our style. Had the fajitas. They should use a better cut of steak. Very hard to chew.

It's so so, ups and downs. To each their own place.

Had an awesome Tuna jerk. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. Other members of my party raved about their food as well. Has good vegetarian and vegan options.

Overpriced food that s definitely not authentic Mexican and Really small portions. Food is greasy and has no seasoning. Also my silverware wasn t fully cleaned.

I was impressed with their huge selection of tequila. The food was not authentic Mexican but it was still good. Good atmosphere, clean, and we got great service. Even though it was pricey I would go again.

Nice place with good food and great service. Stopped there for lunch on our Traverse City trip and enjoyed the place. I am a vegetarian and always looking for vegetarian options in restaurants and this place had a whole menu for vegetarian food.

Staff was great. The food is very filling and good.

Great chips and salsa unique menu choices, tried Argentina salad very good..

Menu is creative and diverse. Been to TC a million times and never ate here because it was a "Mexican" joint you know tacos and chimichangas. Big mistake on my part, my wife had the mole short rib and I had a jack pepper shrimp dish. Both were great.

Always a good consistent meal. The winning point for Red Mesa is the Margritinis. They soak fruits I premium tequila and make a custom drink that's both delicious and strong!

All food here is fantastic. Nothing to go wrong with here. Try the wings, some of the best wings I've ever tasted

Tequila selection and drinks were amazing. Was not that impressed with the food, but I would give them another shot.

Always consistently good food, fast service, good drinks.

We had so much food and such great service! Christine was wonderful. I highly recommend the champagne margarita! Fun atmosphere and good food.

Great food. Grilled tuna came to table hot and delicious. My husband ordered the Brazilian steak and my sister had the Peruvian chicken and all excellent. The mashed potatoes was very fresh and delicious!

Wow! Our first time at this restaurant and we will make it a point to get back! The only other salsa I've had that matches RMG Is one my sister makes herself and it is delicious! We had the pineapple casadilla...oh my goodness...it was GREAT! Can't wait to try more of their food. Employees on the ball and manager walking the floor.

Had to send a meal back, but fajitas were good. Staff friendly

great server and awesome dish. Yellow Swordfish and brussel sprouts ...white rice and black beans

Best Mexican food anywhere. Portions are large. Service was quick and waitress was friendly and attentive. Will definitely return.

I love this place. Good food, nice atmosphere. Margaritas can be a bit sweet, but I don't like sweet drinks, so it might be me.

Great place for Mexican food! They have over 100 types of tequila. They also soak fruit in tequila and make, what they call, Margatini's that are a must have!

Wow! Tremendously fresh food! Every kind of hot sauces any human could possibly desire. From "oh...my toddler could eat this" to "OMG, I think my I have permanently damage my taste buds".

Food was not food (this is not a Mexican restaurant by any means) no one in our group finished their meal ( a group of 9- including 3 small children) our waitress was not very good and it took 10-15 minutes for her to return with change for 3 of the checks( while our husband's had to take the fidgety kids outside due to the long waits for food,bills, and change)! We were less then impressed. And the quac. was awefull!!

Wouldn't seat us because the tables weren't cleaned off yet.

Soooo delicious. Great food with reasonable prices. Fast, friendly service. The tables by the fireplace are wonderful!

Great food, our server was excellent. Definitely will be coming back.

Was super good, was a little on the expensive side. BEST tortilla shells.

This place has phenomenal food! I got the Combo Fajita and it had to be one of my favorite fajitas I've ever had. Also the portion sizes were pretty good too. I can eat a ton. Bert and Logan were terrific servers. It's a little more pricey BUT definitely worth it!!

Both times we went there it was wonderful and we had great food and service

We loved Red Mesa. Friendly service and creative margaritas!

Good is excellent. service is friendly and fast.
Also try the stuffed pablano pepper.
You will feel like a stuffed pablano when you're done, but it will be worth it.

Service was great, very friendly and attentive. Kids (ages 2, 9 and 12) enjoyed eating there and had fun with the little bag of goodies they received to keep them occupied. Everything is made in house (probably a couple exceptions on the kids menu) so it was easy to address any dietary restriction we might have. A little dimly lit but not a problem for us.

Great food and service. A little pricey for small portions

We stop here almost every time we are in the area. Food is consistently good. Get the Frederico platter of your hungry.

looked Mexican by is actually Cuban... very similar and just as good. Selection is ok but would be better if expanded. Nice atmosphere.

Pretty mediocre, unauthentic, and over priced Mexicanish food. Not half the restaurant Pearl's is in my opinion. If you want Latin food, go to Georgina's. It is WAY BETTER.

Always a fun favorite when visiting Traverse City! Our latest visit last Tuesday was the perfect start to our summer vacation with so many choices on the menu and excellent service by our server Autumn. My spicy beef taco was outstanding as was my husband's jack-stuffed shrimp. And of course my favorite libation the Missy Margarita! We have been stopping by the TC Red Mesa for years and have never been disappointed!

Friendly staff, tasty food, excellent management, but could use an improved outside waiting area.

Food was good but services was terrible, my wife and I expected quick food. It took about 20 minutes to get our first drinks and an hour to get our food. Every time we asked for a new drink we would be waiting about ten minutes then told "your drink is on the way" we learned to ask for drinks in advance due to the wait. When we finally asked for boxes we had waited about about 10 minutes until we went to the manager and asked if we could have boxes. We were there for on hour and a half and only ordered a salad and the fajita combo.

Excellent service and food. Will make sure someone with dietary restrictions, intolerances or allergies still gets lovely food. I highly recommend plain pulled pork on a bed of lettuce with their homemade corn chips. It s not in the menu, but it is gluten free & FODMAP friendly, and utterly delicious. I ve done that three separate occasions.
Waitress Becky was attentive and wonderful.

Service was slow and food was burnt and disgusting was there in a Sunday night annfood still took upwards 45 minutes

My family and I were here about a week ago on a vacation and this place rocks. The food was so good. I also had a mango and a strawberry margarita and they were delicious. Even the decor of the restaurant was crazy eye candy. Our waitress was a little rock star named Autumn and she was amazing. She was kind, sweet, and funny. I had a great experience and u will too. Go go go

So nice to find a restaurant that has a clue about gluten sensitivity. The Fajitas and the Red Sangria are wonderful!

Great service, large portions and fast delivery! Definitely return!

The food was so amazing and different than any other restaurant around. Service was great!

If you like authentic Tex-Mexican food this is the place for you Even with everything happening in covid they accommodated us they have a cool outside area with personal fireplaces for each table The food was amazing and the staff were awesome

Always a favorite! All of the Magnum Hospitality venues are wonderful. Good food, well presented, friendly staff. What more could you want?

Very good food and good service. Northern Michigan's largest selection of tequila.

It's a shame we live so far away from here! Not only was the food fantastic but the service was so beyond our expectations. This location has an amazing crew on the floor as well as the back house staff.

We went for Cinco de Mayo last night and it was awesome. We had to wait to get in, but when I told the hostess they had missed us in their system then sat us right away. The food was great. I had the smoked chicken and black bean burrito , the men had the enchilada platter, and Joan had the stuffed plabano. Every enjoyed the food. There was entertainment. Music and a balloon man that made hats for all! A great time. We will be there again.

Love the food, but the Boyne City location is so much better! Traverse City service is mediocre and impersonal. Make Red Mesa Boyne City a destination and have fun there! (5 stars)

Mexican food was not first on my list in Traverse but we wound up having a pretty solid lunch here. The food is fairly straight forward Mexican faire with a little extra gloss. Street tacos and then burritos were pretty good. If you're a fan of Mexican - this place won't disappoint

Great place for Mexican! We tried the tacos and appetizer sampler. Both were very good and the chips and salsa were awesome too! Festive atmosphere and great service. We ll definitely be back the next time we are in Traverse City.

RED MESA GRILL

When we arrived, Mexican culture and food scents overwhelmed me. I felt that it was a very family friendly restaurant and had delicious food. Our food didn t arrive much longer than we ordered which is great if you bring kids, impatient friends, or family. The service was very incredible and fast.

Our server went above and beyond with a great smile and personality. Even coming in kinda late he didn't treat us like lepers the pork ribeye is better than i even thought it was going to be, the scrumptious and mouthwatering flavor will leave you feeling satisfied and then some!

The margarita's are excellent as advertised on their menu. I had the pomegranate marg and hot diggity dog was it good. I also had the steak and black bean burrito but i was less than thrilled with it, not because the quality was not up to standards, it had excellent flavor I'm just not a fan of burrito's covered in sauces. All around a top notch place to get a drink and some grub!

Great Mexican food! The Red Mesa margarita is amazing. Overall a great experience!

My girlfriend and I came here one evening for dinner, but when we got there it about an hour to close. It was packed and you could tell the staff was already drained. We grabbed a seat at the bar so we could be quick, but the bartender had to deal with the struggling waitresses and waiters. He himself seemed very comfortable with the pressure and handled it as best he could. The other employees did not cope well at all. They were very vocal about complaining about the guests and other employees. Initially it was going to be a 4 star review taking into account the time and situation, but the drama was a bit much for me to be able to relax. The food was good and so were the draft beers. I do recommend this place as long as you go in the middle of the day. Cheers!

The "festive ambience" was pretty creepy, to say the least. Really creepy. The food was bland and the pork and chicken (in my tacos) had no flavor and tasted like it had been boiled. Everything tasted the same. The "steak" in my 3rd taco More

My favorite Mexican place to visit while vacationing in Traverse City

Pretty good...they give you only a tiny bit anof riced beans compared to other places but other than that it was very tasty. Definitely was authentic.if we lived here we'd come back.

Food was delicious, service exceptional, and they have a great vegan and vegetarian menu.

When traveling through TC we will often stop. Best place for Mexican in our opinion. Staff and service is always great.

Authentic, creative and delicious. Always look forward to eating here!

Fantastic! Our waiter, David, was so good. Very attentive and efficient. Ordered the chimichanga and it was amazing.

Service was prompt. Sour cherry margaritas out of this world! Highly recommend eatery. We are locals & extremely picky
