About Masa Mesa

Nedlands diners pack this Hampden Road room for cross-regional Latin plates that rival home cooking. The artwork-lined dining floor runs loud and full, turning tables quickly over timed seatings. Expect handmade pupusas, slow-cooked Argentinian beef short rib asado, and lamb birria tacos with spiced rice. Between rounds of boozy Horchata Borracha, the kitchen crew often drops plates straight to the table with background notes on family recipes. The meal wraps up on warm churros with crisp ridges, soft insides, and melted chocolate for dipping.

  • Cross-Regional Latin Menu: Handmade Salvadoran pupusas, Argentinian beef short rib asado, and lamb queso birria tacos.
  • Tableside Kitchen Welcome: Chefs often drop plates directly at tables, sharing the ingredients and heritage behind the recipes.
  • High-Energy Communal Room: Lively, artwork-lined Nedlands space structured around timed sharing seatings.

    the Pupusa were just like my best friends mum made us growing up, except levelled up to restaurant quality

  • Lamb Queso Birria Tacos

    Had the lamb queso birria tacos and spiced rice. Oh my goodness the tacos were sensational.

  • Argentinian Beef Short Rib Asado

    The Argentinian beef short rib asado was the standout—rich, flavourful, and the kind of dish that makes you pause for a second after the first bite.

  • Churros

    I was mind blown by the churros in this place. I have never tried ones like these… ever… anywhere. They were clearly made there in the spot… so soft and airy in the inside and crunchy on the outside

  • Grilled Corn

    The grilled corn with queso fresco and chipotle mayo was easily one of the favourites of the night—smoky, creamy and the kind of dish you keep going back to.

  • Horchata Borracha

    The cocktails too were incredible!! The Horchata Borracha (this is a much improved Mexican beverage, as we normally have it with no alcohol - that tastes similar to rice pudding, slightly sweet and very delicious)

  • Crispy Cassava

    The crispy cassava added texture and crunch
