“ Was in town for the day and stopped in to dine at this place. We were seated right away, the staff was very attentive and courteous! Food was on point too. I would come back definitely. ”
“ Enjoyed an amazing dinner at Messicana. The food was delicious. The 110 year old "nationally landmarked" home that the restaurant is located in is spectacular. The cocktails and wine were perfect. Our waiter and waitress were incredibly attentive, patient with us, and engaging. The general manager and chef even stopped by our table. After dinner we were invited to walk through the restaurant and see their back patio where many of the herbs they use are grown in their garden. It was a phenomenal evening. Highly recommend!! ”
“ Great service from the waiters. The food had a lot of very delicious and unique flavors and was plated beautifully with flowers. There was live piano music even though I was there late at night. I recommend the steak with mole! ”
“ Simply exquisite, amazing place with over 100 years. Food and service are amazing ”
“ I went to Messicana for lunch because I kept seeing people post pictures of their food, and it looked way too good not to try. I’m so glad I did! I ordered the steaks, a salad and asparagus and it was delicious — super flavorful, juicy, and cooked just right. The service was incredible too. The staff was super attentive and made sure I had everything I needed the whole time. You can really tell they care about their customers. Overall, this place is awesome. Great food, great service, and good vibes all around. I’ll definitely be coming back again! ”
