Mesa has new considersmenu,move

Evidently Mesa’s woes aren’t quite over as the Veracruz-style restaurant on Jefferson is considering a move to a trendier part of our neighborhood. The restaurant always receives great reviews, but they don’t get as many diners, the owners say, as restaurants less than a mile away in Bishop Arts.

Mesa moving to Bishop Arts would be sad for Jefferson Boulevard, especially considering that the Reyes family, which owns the restaurant, has done so much to the space, giving an old storefront an eye-catching makeover and adding a lovely patio.

Mesa should’ve chosen a location closer to the Texas Theatre so the two businesses could feed off each other. Unfortunately, Jefferson is not there yet as a thriving entertainment strip, but eventually Bishop Arts will be too crowded with too little parking.

But it’s only one block from the Texas Theatre!

In the beginning of redevelopment, that one block can be the difference.
