There’s nothing better than a great food with a homey feeling. Homey means local or native to the country or location you have stayed or grew up in. That kind of feeling brings in a different kind of comfort that you always feel to need it at any given day.

This is what Mesa brings for each and every single serving that they offer. With the local Filipino but with a modern twist and fusion, all their dishes would give that kind of feeling in each bite.

Let’s check out what’s really in store for you when you try out one of their dishes in the menu. Is it worth exerting time and effort in lining up for a considerable amount of time to dine in (normally a long list of individuals or families are waiting in line to dine in) or even order for take out (still with a considerable amount of waiting time due to preparation time)?

Chicken BBQ with Honey and Patis


It may look like an Inasal dish at first, but sometimes looks can be deceiving. But we can really compare it with an Inasal dish that normally has a salty taste, it is sweet and would definitely be something that you want to try aside from being grilled (who doesn’t want anything that is grilled?)
