Mesero - Southlake

I recently ate lunch at this restaurant and I felt a bit underwhelmed. This was my first time going here and we wanted to try something new and different. Mesero reminded me of eating at Gloria's when it came to the atmosphere. The restaurant was extremely nice inside. I really liked the openness and clean feel. The food was the underwhelming part. I was expecting delicious and authentic Mexican food and this was not it. We ordered carnitas tacos, fish tacos and a side of fries for our child. The best tasting thing were the French fries. The tacos were dry and bland. I felt like I had to drench my tacos in sauce to make them taste good. I don't like talking about any establishment but the food missed the mark for me.

Very solid place for good Mexican food. I love the ambiance here and their staff is great. I love the various sauces and hot sauces. It was great to have three options to have with chips. Got the brisket tacos which was flavored really well.

Ambiance is great, the food is good but not great. It really depends on if you're looking for authentic or gourmet. This would be more gourmet. The service was fine but not impressionable. None of what I'm reviewing is a reason not to visit. I still highly recommend. The tuna was my fav.

I like the ambiance, open space. We didn't have to wait that long on a busy Saturday night. We love the ahi tuna nacho!!! liked the chips & dips tried the Taco too. We'll be back to try other good in the menu.

Walking into Mesero-Southlake, we were immediately greeted by an atmosphere so crisp and fresh it felt like the restaurant had just been air-dried by angels. The staff were as friendly as long-lost cousins at a family reunion and so knowledgeable about the menu that I half-expected them to quiz me on the ingredients.Now, let's talk about the food. When it arrived, it wasn't just appealing to our eyes--it practically gave our stomachs a standing ovation. The dishes were so beautifully presented that I almost felt bad eating them. Almost. But after that first bite, all guilt flew out the window because, for real, the food was delicious. Mesero, you didn't just feed us; you nourished our souls with flavor. We'll definitely be back for another round!

Lucky to be back in the big D for a work meeting and Mesero was at the top of my must return to for lunch with a friend!First time at this location and it had a nice suburban vibe. Friendly staff and they did not mind us sitting at our table for a long period of time while we caught up together. Plenty of parking since it is located in the Central Market strip mall. Chips and salsa were quickly provided which were fresh and tasty. Both of us ordered from the brunch menu. I ordered egg whites scramble with assorted tortillas. My friend ordered the omelette.Food promptly arrived hot and good size portion. Still love Meseros !

Nice atmosphere. Great staff. But the food is good not great. A little too salty and needs more seasoning.

3.5 stars. The restaurant is beautiful. There is a full bar. Clean. Staff is on top of things. But writing today's review strictly on the food we tried today. We were seated immediately. It was a bit later lunch hour and it wasn't busy at all. The menu had a ton of options and all sounding yummy. The chips and salsa were very good. With 3 flavors of dip. I just had the polo verde soup. The soup had a nice amount of chicken, the verde broth was very good. I would definitely have it again. For the entree we ordered the combination enchilada. It was a cheese enchiladas with red sauce. The presentation was amazing but that's where the amazingness stopped. The red enchilada sauce was not very good. The tortillas didn't seem to be home made and were thick. The shrimp taco was lacking flavor, the shrimp were small but a nice amount of the peppers were a green pepper and the sauce was a drizzle of something that you really couldn't taste the rice was a white rice with very few veggies thrown in. Again, presented nicely but lacked flavor. Over all this wasn't an exceptional visit for us. But we would give it another chance.

Only good thing about this place is the service. Kudos to our server. Food is super bleh. Beans had no flavor and they were in a petite dish maybe about 2oz. Shrimp taco tasted like rubber. Enchiladas were luke warm. Salsa and chips tasted stale and like a foot. Brisket was so dry, I had to drown it in the lime juice. Ahi tuna was not easy to slice in to and also had no flavor. Drinks are so watered down. We got the flight. The regular marg was the worst. Tasted like sugar water. Save your money.

Mesero is consistently good, regardless ion which location you go to. The Southlake location - in the former Howard Wang's spot - faces the parking lot, but there is a sign on the building's rear, facing Southlake Boulevard. It's in the shopping center where Central Market is, on the far west edge. Mesero caters to a variety of customers, from date night to young families to large celebrations.As a starter, the corn tortilla chips are tasty and pair well with the trio of salsa choices - habanero, verde, and regular red. For entrees, I've ordered the Miguelito before - which is a filling combo. Also good is the Hollywood Cobb Salad with grilled chicken (tip: ask for the salad to be served as a chopped salad).The dining room looks onto a "show kitchen", although you don't actually see the prep work. A small bar is at the far end, but the main bar area is in front of you as you enter through the revolving door. There is a small outdoor patio area, sort of hidden from the parking lot by a grass berm (which is the lot entry from the west).Prices are reasonable - dinner for two (without alcohol) is typically around $40 to $45. There's a real concentration of Mexican choices near Mesero - including Mi Cocina, Muchacho's, Christina's, Ana Mia, and others. But Mesero more than holds it's own and is a great choice for upscale Mexican.
