Happy with the taste of the food but the portion of each dish is quite small for the price they are charging. Waitresses are polite but need to be organised more. We were a party of 12. Food took awhile to arrive and they missed a couple of our dishes until asked multiple times. It was a full house and they looked stressed out.
Great atmosphere plus delicious food! Had a great night here on karaoke night too, it was great seeing everyone involved and enjoying each other's company. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming!
Food was ok. Probably wouldn't eat there again. Service was slow and poor. Our drinks took longer than the food and they ran out of so many dishes despite it being 7pm on a Friday night.
Unfortunately me and my partner didn't have a good experience at La Mesa. Really small portions, not fresh food, and bad experience with seafood plate.
Spent nearly $200 and it was the worst meal I have had in about 15 years. Any Philippine restaurant that cannot do a half decent adobo, crispy pasta or leche flan should not exist. Gives Pinoy food a bad name
Great Filipino food at this Sydney cbd eatery upstairs in Liverpool Street never too busy and always lovely staff here never disappointing always very fresh food
The food we had was pretty good and the service was nice as well. Overall, the whole dinner wasn't bad but it wasn't fantastic either. I'd happily go back though on a night when the food was discounted.
Food was good. Service was great. It was a really good overall experience in a really good location. Couldn't of asked for more. Good job!
Great experience food was good and fresh. Really nice home cooked-feeling meals and nice servers as well. Happy it's very accessible in the city. We will definitely come back again!
Great authentic Filipino Food! Try the Crispy Pata and Kare Kare which are their signature dishes. Service was also quick and very friendly. I will definitely be back
Nice environment and friendly staff but the food was bland compared to food in the Philippines. The prices were reasonable and they served good sized portions.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience at La Mesa. The food was like the biggest, warmest hug. I'm looking forward to my next visit. I'll definitely be trying the diniguan and sisig!
I have always been going to this place. And always enjoyed the food and the service they do. However, last night ordered food were served approximately 30 minutes late. Despite this, we still enjoyed the food and the hospitality of the staffs. Not to mention their apologies for the food being served late. I'll still comeback though, but hoping food is served sooner next time.
Awesome food,great service. Highly recommended the Sizzling and Kare Kare. I went there with a group of friend,the price is reasonable and serving size just right.
Good food and great atmosphere. Will go back for sure! And we were told that Friday's night is karaoke night! Something different worth to try!
I'm sorry to say this but none of the dish we've ordered were nice. The Sisig was too salty, chicharon bulaklak is not what I'm expecting, kare kare and bagoong had no taste at all. If I could rate this restaurant "0" I would. I enjoyed San Miguel beer though.
Nice casual and relaxed. Excellent Filipino food. The food and service was quick and very friendly. Great value for money. I would thoroughly recommend to all.
the location of the restaurant is easy to find. Easy for tourists to find. The foods are really delicious specially the okoy. Service is good as well, however, the interior of the place could use a little bit of updating. Overall it was a great!
The food was prompt and the service was friendly and attentive. Only downside was the air conditioner was broke and it just so happened to be a 40+ Degree day in Sydney. So it was a little too warm inside the restaurant to be comfortable
is authentic filipino dishes, good value for money... try the sisig, the kare kare, the kilawin, and cripy tapa, and then have a halo halo...sarap
The food is good but the service can be better. We always love ordering the crispy para, bistek, and sisig. The staff looked overwhelmed with the amount of work they had, which slowed the service down.
Crispy pata met standards with crispy skin melts in your mouth; sauce was not enough though. Salty sisig, kilawin's got sprite making it bubbly, okoy only had one shrimp. Cooking takes a while.
Good food, but a little bit pricey. Serving size for mains such as the Chicken Adobo was small, but the Halo-Halo for dessert was good.
Fantastic meals and great service! That was my fourth or fifth visit, I'd be happy to go back again and again. Authentic Filipino cuisine! My non-Filipino friends loved it as well. Thanks all.
The mixed entree was good but very minimal it would be nice to have more on the plate. The crispy pata was good can't fault that, the chopsuey lacks seasoning and more quail Eggs...but overall its good lunch!
Ambiance & taste is the closest you can get to Filipino food. Service was fast & wait is just normal. Not too busy on weekdays
Enjoyed a lunch & a dinner at La Mesa on a recent visit to Sydney. Recommend their Crispy Pata & Sinigang Bangus (sour fish soup).
The service was so slow. had to wait for 45 minutes for our food. I bought my workmates here to try out filipino dishes, but the wait took us almost 2hours for lunch. Please improve lunch service. Food was lovely. Always is.
The Food was great and genuinely Filipino. However the food service was slow as we had to wait almost an hour. One of the staff was also unfriendly
Food was delicious. Place is nice but the kitchen staff kept yelling swear words... i will go again. Price was little dear but i would say worth it
We went to La Mesa last night for a birthday and it was great. Food was great, fast and friendly service and the atmosphere was good.
Delicious food and prompt service. I recommend it to anyone who goes. The lechon kawali was cooked perfect and the staff were very nice. Sarap!
The food was actually really delicious, the only let down was the fact that the restaurant is really under staffed so service was a bit slow.
Great food... quality service... good location within Sydney CBD... value for money!!! We will surely come back whenever we crave for Pinoy delicacies... Highly recommended!!!
We tried the stuffed crab, chicken adobo and the spicy calamari and all were delicious. Good prices too and friendly staff. Overall a very satisfying meal
I booked this restaurant for my birthday . I was expecting good experience, but my friends and I was so disappointed by the restaurant foods. When I ask for a bottle of water , there was mould on the bottom inside the bottle. My plate had a dried food stuck on it. When I ask for a softdrinks there's no available softdrinks for all my friends. Glass were not sparkling clean. A few selection of food were not available. What an embarrassing experience.
The family dinner for 4 package is value for money. I recommend to try this for a family of 4, great food, great value for money!
good food, excellent customer service, and will recommend to any one craving pinoy food. my daisilog was one of the best i have tasted. delicious ube macapuno cake.
While the service was OK, the food was not up to the usual standards experienced on earlier visits. The beef is the Bistik was of a poor quality. Some pieces were Ok - some were inedible. The eggplant in the stuffed eggplant was again, inconsistent. Some parts were fine others still seemed to be raw. The Crispy Pata, Adobo chicken and Sans Rival were up to the usual standard though.
Service was very good and fast but the food is average .... one of the dishes we ordered was kare kare - we were all surprised to find a pumpkin in that food to look like more in it. Ukoy is also spread out very thinly with grated carrots or sweet potato as one of the ingredients (it tasted sweet so we presumed it was sweet potatoes).
