Good Filipino food at an affordable price. Really love their tofu sisig but was quite disappointed at his branch because it looked dull and the serving looked less compared to the ones I had before. Nonetheless, the other dishes were tasty and did not disappoint.

Still one of the best Filipino restaurants in the Metro. The serving sizes aren't too big, and the taste is always on point. Shout out to the delicious Sinigang na Salmon. The halo-halo is also nothing to scoff at, as the shaved ice with the generous toppings meant that you're not just sipping melted water at the end. Keep it up!
Friendly staff and delicious food ❤️😋 worth every penny!!! Interiors looks classy and nice. Must try Kare Kare Beef Tripe and Liempo. Food is great 💯
Interiors have an interesting Filipino vibe. The place is covered in rattan (?) - from ceiling/lighting fixtures to furniture and walls.
We had (and loved!!!) :
Crispy Baby Squid,
Chicken Binakol,
Pinakbet,
Crispy Boneless Tilapia with Four Sauces
Tinapa Rice and Laing Fried Rice
Service was alright. A bit of a wait because the place was packed.
We ate here in celebration of my father's birthday. We enjoyed it here. The food were delicious. We ordered 4 viands, and the taste justifies the price. We will definitely go back here.
The place was a bit hard to find since it’s at the end of the mall on the uppermost floor. Food was exquisite, though, and with large serving sizes too! A bit pricey but definitely worth it in my opinion. Staff were attentive and friendly. We got seated right away and they respected our wishes to be seated somewhere a bit more private than the table they initially offered. My boyfriend and I also accidentally ended up breaking a dish and we were willing to just pay for it and for the hassle of having their workers clean it up but they refused to let us since “it happens sometimes” so that was really nice of them as well. Will definitely go back!!
Didn’t really plan on eating here, but since most of the restos that we wanted to eat at was full, we saw that Mesa didn’t have that much customers (just 1 table was occupied), so we ended up here. Don’t regret it though as I had a satisfying lunch.
I love their crispy baby squid!! Ended up ordering seconds haha. I also wasn’t in the mood for rice so I opted for their beef kaldereta pasta and it was great too. I also ordered their pork bbq (not pictured), but didn’t like it as it was a bit too fatty for me and it just didn’t taste good for me. 😅 Their kare-kare was also okay, but just had a taste of that.
Service and the place was both okay. Area is a bit dim though.
The food was really great especially their kare-kare and sinigang na ulo ng salmon. The place was ok dn though it feels masikip pero clean naman ung restaurant. Hnd ko lng cguro gusto ung mga staff kc though attentive cla na-sobrahan nmn yta kc syempre pag family gatherings may mga bagay kayong gustong pag usapan medyo ilang lng kc prng pag mamatingin k kla order k ult ahahha
A Sunday feast with the family at mom’s fav Filipino restaurant. Didn’t expect there would be Lechon, but who’s complaining right? With its crispy skin and tender meat, delicious is the only word I can think of. The mixed grill and various seafoods are yummy as usual especially my favorite scallops! They are always consistent with quality and service regardless of what branch you’re in. Even with a menu that remains the same for awhile now, there’s always good options to try on your next visit.
Mesa is one of my favorites for Filipino cuisine. They always get a 5 rating from me. This time it's a 4. I should have stuck with our staple for soup, Chicken Binakol. We tried out their shrimp malunggay tofu soup but it wasn't a hit. Their baked scallops with garlic butter and bangus ala pobre were satisfying. We ate at their new Mesa Robinson's Galleria branch.
I celebrated my birthday here and never regretted of what they’ve served.🙂
All the food is awesome.. very mouthwatering and delicious! ❤️
I am really into their baby squids in olive oil. So much delectable. 😍
They have a lot of customers which will cause you to stay on queuing.. we’ve waited for about 15 mins before we had our table.
One thing that made me baffled was their service. A bit slow maybe because they have enormously guests that kept on coming inside their resto. 😁👍🏻
Will definitely come back here.
You can never go wrong with their food, very high quality. Plus the high class Filipino ambience. I don't see anything wrong with their service.
As part of my week-long birthday celebrations, my family went out on a dinner and decided to have Filipino food. Everything that we ordered was yummy. Their buko pandan is a must try!
Ate here last week. Super sarap ng food nila talo ang lutong bahay sa bahay namin haha!but yeah seriously speaking, everything we ordered is super yummy!:) this is my top choice when in comes to modern filipino resto!:)
Place:10/10 We were placed in a very comfortable bird nest like tables and chairs. Soooo relaxing.
Accommodation: 10/10 The crews were all friendly! Super friendly
Food: 8/10 Not a bomb taster like the other food but the price is reasonable for the quality of food
Mesa is one of my favorite restaurants. Their ihaw-ihaw platter is sulit. I also love their baby squid whether it be in olive oil or adobong baby squid. Their laing is also one of the bests. I have no negative comment here. Yum!
If you want a filipino restaurant with a decent price and taste. This is where you should go.
Not a fan of filipino restaurants when dining out, but the taste of their food is ok.
Value for money, delicious filipino food. Wide variety of food choices. Highly recommended dishes are their sisig, gising-gising and sinigang.👍
I have tried two branches of Mesa already. I am quite impressed because the quality of the food is the same in both.
For this afternoon, we ordered Tinapa roll wrapped in lettuce for our appetizer ( I agree that it is a must try).Baby squid (Adobo in its own ink),Sinigang na Salmon Head and Laing. All so good!
Servers were efficient!
When I am craving for Filipino food, I will surely comeback here.
Food and serving size were good! Taste was also good! The sisig was a little to greasy, in my opinion.
Place is a little small, and we had a little difficulty calling a waiter from where we were seated. Service was nice and quick, however.

Had an early lunch with the family as we arrived around 10:30am. Ordered the inihaw sampler which consist of 5 barbecue sticks, tuna belly, quarter leg chicken, liempo, shrimps and mussels. Also ordered sinigang na tuna belly in pineapple & guava and Bam I pansit. Totally loved our order! The sinigang has a very unique taste, really different from the usual sinigang we know. The inihaw sampler was good also except for the liempo, panay taba! But it's okay, no big deal. The pansit was good, has a unique flavor in it. I also tried their kamias shake, expecting it to be sourly sweet pero sobrang sweet. Anyway, will definitely dine again and try their other dishes next time.

We ate here for Mother's day! Love the food. Delicious👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 the sinigang with the bayabas was delicious, the kare-kare also taste great! Love this place! Eat here when you want to eat filipino dishes
What I love most about my experience at Mesa was how quick and efficient their servers were. They were very attentive and friendly, too! We didnt have a hard time when we had to have some orders cancelled or when we needed more from the menu.
The interiors are very homey. The tables near the center of the restaurant were especially lovely.
Their dishes are amazing, too! I really loved their salted egg with tofu, their pato tim, and their chicken soup served in coconut shell. The soup was my favorite.
If youre looking for a great Filipino restaurant for the whole family, this restaurant wont disappoint. :)
I've been to a lot of Mesa branches but so far, Robinson's Magnolia branch is my favorite. All the staff who catered to us were really nice and accommodating. They were very warm and all smiles and just so you know, I'm not well-dressed or anything (cause some people only treats you well if you are well-dressed). I love the food and the crab with salted egg is really a must try! So far, my over-all experience with this branch is a 10!
Tinapa lumpia - too greasy and lacked seasoning for my taste
Kamias shake - wasn't sour enough
Sagot gulaman - so-so
Mixed vegetables (chopseuy) - so good for a simple dish! My fave chopseuy
Bangus - just so-so but definitely perfectly cooked
Laing 2 ways - jusy ok
Service is fast. Reasonable price and generous servings.
We didn't expect Mesa would really have that authentic and great twist to their Filipino dishes. Their baby squid in olive oil was delicious, and shrimp sauteed in salted egg was extremely yummy! Restaurant ambience was also good, they have dark interiors and we sat inside this bird cage like table with half moon sofa. Service was fast and efficient, the waiters were attentive. Overall not what we expected on another modern filipino restaurant
Craved for Kare Kare on my birthday and of course, Mesa was on my mind!!! I loved how the creamy nutty flavor blends perfectly with the salty bagoong. The crunchy veggies were very good too. I highly recommend their Kare Kare. It's like your "lola's recipe" :) The tinapa lumpia is good too. Comes with tomatos, onions and salted egg. Such a good twist to the typical lumpia.

I love the ambiance of the restaurant. you shoukd try their sizzling tofu... It is tasty, their barbeque platter is great! You'll not throw any of it haha. Serving size is right! And their ginger sauce is delicious !!!!
My brother took me to Mesa and my taste buds were dancing and it hasn't stopped since last night. We had the tinapa roll, crispy duck, salpicao ostritch. The salpicao was ok, the roll was good, and the duck was great. Price was a bit on the up but no complains here. I made sure I paced myself cause I didn't wanna get bloated and just enjoy everything. We had our rice as a side dish (feeling sosyal haha) to make room in our tummy. I played it safe and asked for their best sellers, but next time I'm going for the other dishes on the menu.
This place has awesome interiors. My Circuited Soul and I were seated at one of those sofas that looked like a bird cage. It looks nice, however it is positioned just right in front of the entrance, you are exposed to everyone who enters the place. Haha. We ordered Beef and Tripe Kare Kare, Bagoong Rice, Prawns sauteed in Salted Egg and Baked Scallops. I love everything that we ordered, the serving size is just right, good service and the price is reasonable. Will we go back to this place again? Why not?
Their binagoong rice is already good on its own, and it's heavy on the tummy that one serving can be shared by 2-4 people. Went here with my former workmates, price is quite reasonable if you're about 5-7 people.
Sisig with egg tastes ordinary, and it's not worth the Php190 price tag.
Their pinaputok na tilapia and laing 2 ways remind me of my mom's home cooking, which how Filipino food should be. Sumptuous!
Its a great place for casual dining. Elegant interior although the space is quite small compare with T. Morato Branch. The staffs are very accommodating and courteous. Food is so-so. The crispy pata is not crispy at all. Blue marlin is quite dry. My friend enjoyed her steamed okra and I enjoyed my baby squids in olive oil.
Mesa is one of those go-to Filipino restaurants for our family. It's a place where good food, good price, good ambience, and good service are guaranteed. Salmon Head Sinigang is my favorite dish. 👍🏻😁
Went here for a saturday lunch with my officemates. Everything here is great. They've got nice interiors, nice service and, of course, nice food.
We ordered they sinigang, pinakbet and inihaw platter. I love their sinigang so much. It has the right asim you would want to have in your sinigang. Perfect! Their pakbet looks good though im not able to have a taste. The inihaw platter offers grilled liempo, chicken, squid, shrimp and tahong. I like the tenderness of the liempo. With their squid, im not really impressed.
For our drinks, we had watermelon, banana and mango shakes. Mine was watermelon and it tastes good and refreshing. I like it so much that i thought of ordering a watermelon juice on our next food stop later in the afternoon.
Thumbs up!
We were here last August 10.. i was still on board a plane from Europe while chatting with my wife we were looking for a place to eat when they fetch me i ask a co chef of mine and they suggested MESA .. i remember way back i tried the one in Sm north and it was great.. so i told my wife that we will dine in at Mesa and they agreed.. then the plane landed and from the airport we decided to go to Robinson Magnolia.. and there was a waiting que.. but the wait is worth it thier unique interior and fast service was excellent and the food was priceless great taste and ravishing presentation truly was a great place to start my well deserved vacation more power for Mesa an uplifted Filipino dish restaurant with class and pride
Literally one pf the best. As in. From their boneless crispy pata to their crabs—no shit, it's really really delicious. Just, I mean go, find out for yourself that I'm not kidding.
Really love Mesa! Fan or not of Filipino food, there is something here for everyone -- and every dish is really well made, from the plating to the taste to the ingredients. Especially like the Magnolia branch as the staff is very accommodating to all requests and respond very well. The food service is fast, and they are very friendly 😊 Family favorites include Chicken Binakol, grilled Blue Marlin Belly, Sigarillas, hito flakes and baked scallops. 👌🏽❤️
Mesa has good service, good presentation and good food. This is where i bring my foreign guests now when they want to try Filipino food. This is a better option for foreign guests as the food here has better taste and presentation than the standard Filipino grill food restaurant. Modern Filipino Cuisine at it's best!
For appetizers, we usually order the scallops in garlic butter and the hito flakes on spoon. Both have had good feedback from our foreign guests. For the main course we usually order the very tender boneless crispy pata, chicken binakol soup, beef and ox-tripe kare-kare and the grilled squid.
I understand why this place is visited by many and is actually packed during weekends! Consistency and quality!

The service here is great. We came in a few minutes before closing time and they were nice enough to accommodate us. We ordered Sisig with egg (190 pesos), garlic rice (45 pesos), Chicken BBQ in Honey Patis (165 pesos), Garlic Chicken (220 pesos), and a whole Inihaw platter. The sisig with egg is good for 2-3 persons. The egg is cooked right at your table so you can still get that moist texture from the sisig. Their sisig also has small chicharon pieces which is a big plus for crispy sisig fans like me. The Chicken BBQ was okay. It was a bit pricey for a meal good for 1 person only with no rice or other side dishes available with it. I really liked the Garlic Chicken though! I loved how the sweet sauce complemented the garlic chicken well. The Inihaw Platter is HUGE. It has a wide variety of Inihaw goodies like tahong, pusit, pork, scallops, bbq, etc. I highly recommend this platter for those who can't decide what they want to order from Mesa. You can order this platter with garlic rice and you're already good to go.
Must try would be their boneless crispy pata, baby squid in olive oil, pritchon wraps and bbq platter. Almost all their food are good for 2-3 people and the service is fast also except for weekends.
Lovely romantic place, i love the style of this resto with the big chairs and comfy areas. Perfect for lunch or dinner with your love ones the ambience is nice and the staff are really attentive to your needs. We ordered their kare kare, pinakbet and specialty chicken. They were all yummy the price is also not that bad we will definitely come back here.
Been seeing Mesa everytime I go to Robinsons Magnolia. Been curious about the food and the hype and I thought I would give it a try. The ambiance was cozy and the staff was professional. Got a bottomless drink and I didn't need to ask for a refill coz the waiter checks from time to time. The beef in 2 ways tasted great and the baby squid (crispy) was more calamares but still was light and tasty. Price wise, very affordable coz I thought it would cost an arm and a leg but I was wrong. A must try!
Been meaning to dine in this resto eversince i saw this in Bora, regrettably we didn't get a chance to do so when we were there. Finally, i was able to try the food here the other day, at rob mag. I love the ambience, food was great. Mostly filipino dishes but thats ok since im a huge fan of filipino food. I thought the food was pricey but got surprised that it was very reasonably priced. Staff were soo attentive. Overall, i had a great experience and will sure to comeback on my birthday. :)
I decided to dine at Mesa Magnolia to satisfy my cravings for pasta, I ordered Pasta Kalderata, the combination of taste made my taste buds happy, for my drink i had a Kamians cooler it really taste awesome that bitter sweet taste seduced my taste buds haha. anyways for dessert i had crispy leche flan it is my favorite filipino desert, it is very crunchy every bite of it really took me away it is really a must try.
I'm telling you you will not regret dining at Mesa Magnolia.
i will come back for more
good food. my party and I had the laing, bam-i, adobo flakes, tofu and pork sisig. The crew were very attentive. The food was very tasty. It's a place I would come back to for filipino food.
If you ever drop by, order the Chicken Binakol - it's deliciously unreal, and served with the perfect mix of of sweet and salty. Their sisig pouches are quirky and creative, and the place is perfect if you want a romantic dinner with modern Filipino food.
If you are looking for authentic Pinoy food Mesa will surely fit your tastebuds.. We visited Mesa in Robinsons Magnolia. We ordered some of the must try like the pork binagoongan, tinapa roll, chicken and pork adobo and baby squids. To start it up the servings are good, each order can serve 2-3 person (it depends upon your personal consumption). I love the baby squid in olive oil, the recipe is so simple but it taste so good. The pork binagoongan is simply sweet with eggplant on the side. The pork and chicken adobo was good also though i was expecting the adobo with toyo (but it is still good). The tinapa rolls are very appealing to the eyes, served on a spoon though it is not that bite-size. Most of the food in the menu looks amazing. Well I love pinoy foods so I will also recommend Mesa for those that love and want to eat pinoy foods. Chow!!
