Best decision.
I had the chicken sandwich, and my plate was clean by the time I was done, my husband had the fried pork chop and his was just as clean. Our son had the fried chicken bites, and the crispiness of the skin was incredible.
But the best best part was the beef empanada. It was so incredible.
We have found a new date spot. It will be well worth the 30 minute drive.
I ordered the whole fried red snapper with tostones and Hubby ordered the Trifongo with Pulpo with a side of white rice and red beans. We also ordered the fried pork chops with rice and beans for my FIL, who lives with us and was at home with his home health aide. We told our server that we’d like all three dinners to go. Chef Albert came out of the kitchen and begged us to reconsider. We explained that we had to get back home, but he promised us that he would get our meals out in 10 minutes so we could enjoy it while it was hot and fresh. We decided to trust him. I heard him giving orders in the kitchen and Chef Albert was true to his word. Our meals came out in less than 15 minutes (also rare for Latin restaurants).
My snapper was delicious!! Fried to perfection, nicely seasoned with sautéed onions (I personally like a lot of onions, so next time I’ll ask for more). My tostones were very tasty too, with a side of mayoketchup. Hubby’s Trifongo was to die for. So moist and tasty – and he didn’t even have the cilantro sauce on it (had it on the side). The octopus was very tender and tasty. The rice and beans were very good as well. If only we had brought an avocado with us, it would have been perfection. Dad’s pork chop was aromatic (Hubby and I don’t eat meat, but it did smell good). It was a decent sized chop and Dad put a good dent into it. He said it was very flavorful.
So not only was the food amazing, but the service was exceptional. Our server, Esmeralda, was friendly, knowledgeable, and smiled the entire time. She made several recommendations that were spot on. Chef Albert was a delight and the other servers behind the bar were also friendly.
I can’t wait to bring my mom, brother, and sister-in-law. Oh and did I mention that I’m Puerto Rican, so I know good Puerto Rican food when I’m eating it. I’m so glad that ZHills has a great PR restaurant. We used to go to Corozal, which also was good, but the service there was super slow. Mesa Latina is very efficient and while it’s pricey, the food and service are worth it. Can’t wait to try out their lunch specials during the week!
If you’re craving real Puerto Rican sabor, La Mesa Latina is the spot. I ordered the pork chop with rice and beans, and man… it hit like a meal straight out of abuela’s kitchen. The chuleta was perfectly seasoned, tender, and cooked with that island-style love you can’t fake. And the arroz con habichuelas…Fire. Every bite had that comforting, home-style flavor that reminds you why Puerto Rican food is undefeated.
The portions were generous, the service felt like family, and the whole vibe of the place carried that warm, Caribbean pride. La Mesa Latina doesn’t just serve food—they serve culture.
Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back for seconds.
