We were craving for seafoods and we decided to find a restaurant near DCC area. The whole gang was hungry and we decided to try La Mesa . We were happy that we found a best place to dine .Their menu offers a great selection of mouthwatering food and drinks.

It felt like magical when we tasted their seafoods. Everything were fresh and tasty .

Their dynamite shrimp which was new on the list is a must to try . The mojitos were refreshing and it matched with lustrous food that we’re eating. Mussels were baked perfectly topped with different spices.


That’s why when you eat at La Mesa, you’ll not only enjoy authentic Filipino dishes, you’ll also feel at home when you and your friends eat their seafood boodle with your barehands!

The staff were very accommodating and always smiling. They helped us on selecting the best food for us.

We will come back soon for another great experience👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

La Mesa has two options, and two areas of seating. One for their unlimited buffet that includes Filipino street food. And the second which are for their boodle fights.
For the Unli Buffet street food area, everything is good though i stick to the chicken skin & chicken feet options. The best i tasted of the other food options is there Caldereta, if u see it available, i suggest go in & try. The food for the day will be listed in a sign outside.

For the boodle fight, it is good & in very good real portions. Meaning, their good for 4 is really good for 4, etc.
I suggest you give it a go.

We (husband and I with our good friend) had a great dining experience at La Mesa.
We had boodle fight which is good for 4 people. Unlimited rice and drinks, soups, 1 bowl/big servings of calamari and crackers on the side. Sumptuous and generous crabs, and other sea foods.
Rated 5 for:
✔️ Clean and very Filipino ambience
✔️ Great front of house staff, helpful and attentive
✔️ Value for money, not too pricey
✔️ Good food as package
✔️ They are open during daytime of Ramadan.

One word... AMAZING :)
They have two restaurants next to each other. One offers a buffet menu with lots of seafood, chicken and beef dishes along with options to stir fry or grill a few items like prawn, squid or chicken pieces.

On the other side, they serve a la carte, which is equally delicious but wait... theres a twist!!!

They serve unlimited seafood as an option as well which is cooked in garlic, cajun or (I forgot... oops)

Also, they serve unlimited ice tea in both the places.

Great ambiance in both the places. Good music and great staff.

I think its my weekly place to go and grab some good and yummy food.

Had dinner here with my brother and sister in law, they offer delicious Filipino dishes which is very affordable. Seafood fiesta! The place is always a bit packed due to customer line, they have an offer for buffet for 45aed/person.

The street foods are okay, not really impressed as they are a bit sweet and we are looking for that smokey taste. There are lot to choose from, varieties of ihaw ihaw thingy.

Recommende for Filipino food lover 👍

Used to go to La Mesa for their seafood boodles. Tried their unlimited street food buffet this time + other seafood & beef dishes. Great value for money @AED 45, with unlimited local Filipino desserts and iced tea included. Very relaxed and homey vibe. Recommended for bday parties and group treats!

If you're craving for seafoods and you want all of it to be on the table..,this restaurant will do it for u literally! Well, the concept of boodle fight is all about that. Serving everything on a neatly covered table. No crockery and cutleries...as the food will be on top of banana leaf and they will provide disposable gloves for you guys to happily dig in. I love the homey feeling of this concept. But the place seems to be too crowded..well, this is bcoz this concept is ideal for a group eating. #boodlefight #seafoodscraving

La Mesa has been my favourite spots to binge on seafood at least twice a month. The food is fresh and piping hot when served. I love their Cajun sauce and we order it Everytime. With several similar restaurants in the vicinity La Mesa stands out with it's food value and quantity. I would recommend 79aed unlimited seafood rice and iced tea if you're super hungry and ready to binge.

We were amazed and satisfied on the first time we tried La Mesa Restaurant in Deira branch. The Ambiance was really good. Staff was very attentive and polite. And most especially the Food was amazing!! From the ihaw ihaw selection to the main courses until the dessert was perfect. Prices are reasonable if you compare to other Filipino restaurant around. I would defenitely go back again to that branch. Kudos to the chef who cooked those food to perfection. Welldone guys.. keep it up..

My friends, whom I have not met for years, highly recommended that we have lunch at this place. We tried the lunch buffet and it did not disappoint. Lots of food to choose from!!! Add to that are the different hot and cold drinks that’s included in the offer. Each food is prepared well, served hot and portions are perfect for you to enjoy. The dessert section also needs a shoutout for having distinct flavors unlike other buffets that will serve generic-tasting sweets. I will surely return to this place with my family in tow!

We ordered meal for four since we are craving for streetfoods esp isaw.. portion was ok but taste wasnt that good, “matabang” and as per my friend the chicken feet and head was “matigas” (i dont eat those anyway). The cornflour/flour overpower the taste of maja. Needs to improve food quality po.

We came here last December 09, 2017 to celebrate my birthday. And we didn’t made a mistake in choosing La Mesa. All of us are full, and the seafood boodle was very tasty. We are eight people and all of us were very satisfied. Filipino Taste. Friendly Staffs. And Thank you so much for accomodating my husband request to suprised me.

we came in a group and had boodle fight for 3, since we are four, we are suggested to add extra 10dhs to have it coz we like the inclusives of the said offer.
Food was great and tastes like home...Service was great by the male server who welcomed us politely and with a smile, apologies- but quite disappointed with the lady server whom we ask for extra rice, - we understand its a casual restaurant and having boodle fight is quite messy...but at least please inform or say excuse me during refills,
And never forget to simply reply to your guests, as thank you or youre welcome or even just smile...simple words can always light up and increase customer service. :) first impression lasts. youll never know if your guest is a good tipper. Kudos to the chefs btw, beef sisig and kare-kare was lovely :)

Heard this place many times to my friends, so im expecting alot. When we came inside the restaurant i feel like im in my home country and for my excitement im looking for the acoustic band that i heard when we enter and to my surprise its only a music from the radio. Too many sets of boodle fight to choose from depends on how many pax you are in a group. So we decided to get set c coz we are only 3 person and add a grilled milkfish with that unlimited rice and ice tea. Service is average maybe because its busy hour, food also takes a little bit delay but when it comes its worth the wait. Reasonable price you can consider in your buget!

Excellent food and service. The place was busy but we could see that people were enjoying their meal.
The place is eclectic, you can see families, couples and groups of friends...
The manager came twice to see us and she made sure everything was fine with us.
I would definitely recommend the "seafood boodle fight" with butter and garlic sauce as well as the "isaw". Both of them were excellent.
Prices are reasonable if you compare with the other filipino restaurants around...
I would definitely go back there again...

Conveniently located in Deira, La Mesa is a pleasant outdoor/indoor restaurant with a cosy and welcoming feel to it. We were pleasantly surprised to find the food to be quite delicious and of authentic taste. The staff was friendly and helpful and were quick to point out the best dishes to try. The La Mesa Platter and Chicken BBQ served with sticky rice were quite enjoyable. I couldn't get enough of their lemon iced tea of which they give unlimited refills.

The food is tasty and the way is served is unforgetable. I give it a 4/5. There were a lot of flavours the seafood flavour combined with vinegar and sweet soy sauce make a good combination. The only downside is that it may be hard to eat for someone who never tried the Filipino cuisine before.

Quick service. Portions to share.Attentive staff. Reasonable cost and Native ambiance... and yes! Veggie options.

We sat outside and the weather was still friendly, the outlet has a cute space in and out. In spite of numbers of competitors around the area, we find this dine place busy yet quick. We went home with lots of parcel as the servings were more than enough.

La Mesa Restaurant is the place to be when you miss native dishes back home.

It was only 10:30pm and other places had already called out their last orders (on a friday night). Good thing there was La Mesa. We were already famished so a quick scan on the menu we chose the Set D Boodle fight. Its comprised of grilled milkfish, crabs, shrimps, mussles, battered calamari and fish dimsum. There was complete silence for 15min when the orders came lol. The set came with unlimited rice and drinks, free fish crackers (appetizers) and soup. I had no complain but the Boss said she hoped the milkfish was a bit more grilled since there was still a little blood inside. Aside from this we had a nice dinner coupled with great service from friendly staff.

The food is good and very filipino.. its just that they have to revise the recipe for the beef sisig it was really dry neutral taste and not appetizing, I recooked the sisig here in our house add some mayo and plate in a sizzling plate and the taste was great!!

The food was fresh, properly prepared and a great value for the price. We ordered 199AED for a boodle fight good for 4-5 person unlimited rice and iced tea(they have also the best iced tea in all Filipinos restaurants around the area) Overall twas worth every penny! We highly recommend it! Would like also to give credits to the waiter who exemplify great customer service named Borj he was really accommodating even though we ask too much requests he manage to smile and have our request granted. Kudos Borj! 👌🏻👍🏻 Keep it up!

These criteria made us decide to try it for the second time. And yes! We were not disappointed because the food we ordered was superb. It was the Boodelito we tried this time.

The food was fast hot and clean not oily. The iced tea is really cold and full of flavour. Its only 5 dirhams in other places its like 12 and 18!!!!!!!

The only thing that scared me😂 is the portion of the singang (tamarind soup with shrimps) i swear 7 people could eat from that bowl for just 30 dirhams. What a great value for a family.i ended up taking it home.

I would recommend this place to everybody and would defenatly come back again to see the staff smiles.. they just open ur apetite more.
