I don’t really like BBQ. I don’t really like Southwest Style cooking. I actually don’t really like Bobby Flay or his cocky attitude either……I liked Mesa Grill.
While the location may not do it for some, my buddy and I stopped in here for a quick bite to eat while betting on a Thai Casino Online or an NFL games as it is in direct view of the Sportsbook at Caesars.
Immediately on being seated we were brought a complimentary bread basket with absolutely amazing jalapeno corn bread, biscuits, and a cheesy garlic bread that was out of this world. I ordered a diet coke which was repeatedly refilled and we were not charged for despite sitting around BSing for nearly 2 hours while my buddy drank two beers that he noted were well priced.
For meals, my buddy ordered the Mesa Burger with Double Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Vidalia Onion, and Horseradish Mustard on a House Roll with Southwest fries…..the burger was enormous and per his word “awesome.” I opted for the Thick Cut Ahi Tuna Nachos with spicy aoili and blue corn tortillas. While it appears this amazing dish has since been removed from the menu, I still contest it is one of the 3 best forms of raw tuna I’ve yet to consume. The portion was large and at only $11 my total bill with tip for 2 baskets of bread, nachos, soda, and 2 hours of hanging out was a mere $15.
While this isn’t “5 star” dining, it is one heck of a deal for high quality food in a nice ‘bar’ setting when in Vegas. In retrospect I wish I’d have ordered dessert, but with dinner reserves at Simon later that evening I didn’t want to overindulge…..y’know, after eating the Paris buffet for breakfast.
