Red Mesa is now downtown

_
Does the place look familiar? It should be unless you missed that old post about Latin bar/bistro De Santo, which closed some time last year. Well, the place is open again. But this time, it has been replaced by Red Mesa Restaurant. And yes, it is the same owner as the Red Mesa on 4th Street.

We chanced upon the place last night while driving downtown looking for a place to eat at. And it turned out to be a really good chance encounter. The food was just great. One of the better Mexican (fusion?) restaurants around town. From appetizers, to entrees, dessert and even the margaritas they served on tap were perfect. To top it all off, service was impeccable. I think that's all good for a place that's just been open two weeks.

What more could you ask for? Maybe that they don't close down anytime soon? I think they'll do alright. Check it out.
