The Take
Red Mesa Restaurant delivers reliable Latin American fusion in a lively St. Pete landmark setting but stays unremarkable once the novelty wears off.
The clear play is grilled fish or steak with rice and beans over any heavy-sauced or fried fusion creation.
The Verdict
Red Mesa works as a neighborhood fallback for straightforward Latin plates when you keep it simple. The fusion menu mostly adds complication without elevating the core flavors or ingredients.
Order the grilled fish or steak plate.
