LaMesa

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Enjoyed a lunch & a dinner at La Mesa on a recent visit to Sydney. Recommend their Crispy Pata & Sinigang Bangus (sour fish soup).

Ambiance & taste is the closest you can get to Filipino food. Service was fast & wait is just normal. Not too busy on weekdays

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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).

Service was good, a little slower than expected for the food to come out. Ordered the chicken adobo which was presented well but more sour than sweet (my preference). Also ordered the crispy pork which was delicious. Experience could be enhanced by some complimentary starters or something. Just something to get the taste buds going.

Had a wonderful night with my friends here. We love the food.. very tasty and affordable. Booking was easy. Ooops. Yes we love the crispy pata! Yum

It was disappointing . It wasnt authentic Filipino food. The vegetables used in the sinigang wasnt what was meant to be in it. The noodles smelt off. The limited menu still have items in it not available! The service is slow. The saving grace was the dessert- halo halo and ube. The other items listed in dessert were also not available.

Seated too close to other people when there were only about 40% people there...we almost shared a table. Food was nothing to write home about.

Service was great and very friendly and helpful even though it was packed Friday night. The sisig and the prawn soup were beautiful. The only thing was there weren't too many vegetarian food if at all we have to request them to take the mince meat out of the vegetables for my vegetarian friend

had dinner at La Mesa with our friends last night. La Mesa has good food at affordable prices. Good service as sell. We will definitely be coming back.

Overall experience was average -- Food: Very average. The pork leg was good, other food was forgettable. Drinks: Only limited selection of wine, and my wine was off. Ambience: Ambience was good Value for money: Pretty decent value for money.

The food was ok. We went for an experience around the Phillipines theme but I don't think the restaurant really delivered this very well or enthusiastically

was.smooth. very accommodating. authentic food. would love to be back for more . thank you for a wonderful and delicious experience la mesa! highly recommendable..

The food was fantastic, the service was not as great as I was expecting. Trying to get the attention of the wait staff was difficult. From trying to order to even getting the bill to pay.

GREAT AUTHENTIC FILIPINO FOOD. ATMOSPHERE WAS ALIVE AND YOUNG, NOT TOO NOISY AND WASN'T OVERLY BUSY FOR A FRIDAY NIGHT. STAFF WERE VERY ALERT AND QUICK TO RESPOND.

Interesting and delicious, tasty food served in a traditional and welcoming environment with friendly atmosphere. A great experience and looking forward to visiting again soon

good variety of good filipino food with very friendly service

Slow service but food was authentic and traditional. Service was warm but we had to wait approximately 20 minutes until our entrees arrived. Nice set-up in seating area for guests in with a traditional Filipino display area filled with Crosses and salt lamps.

Food was great. Service had potential to be improved. I feel that the front end staff needed to be more proactive in their customer service approach. Other than that, I would return to the restaurant because of the good food.

Love the atmosphere and friendly staff but there is wide disparity of quality and value between the dishes i.e. some are great value such as the huge serving of noodles with vegetables, chicken & prawns, versus the disappointing small plate of overcooked meat in oil that was the "bistik". Don't order this. It should have come with vegetables at least. My son was still hungry and we gave him some of our dishes. You need to see the dishes before you know what to order. It was pot luck of yours turned out to be good. Many of the dishes were not freshly made either, just premade and reheated i.e. the crepes and my beef stew (mechado) although it was tasty. It would be better to have fewer items on the menu, and concentrate on serving the best ones and making them fresh. They also need to be served hotter, they got cold very quickly. The seafood dishes looked good but they were the most expensive. It is authentic however. I would go back because Filipino food is hard to find. You just have to know which are the best dishes,

Our food took quite a while because there were two other large groups, but other than that the food was ok. Some excellent some not so much. Chicken adobo was a winner for us.

God food but very long wait. Ambience was not so bad.

Food was amazing! I would recommend to people Coz FILO food is awesome We will be back again and try to taste every single food in the menu

very authentic. good quality filipino food. waiting time on a busy day is not too bad (<20mins). good service. Keep it up folks. There is a paucity of good Filipino restaurants here in Oz. Am from the Gold Coast and I don't think there is at least even one Filipino restaurant here.
