Red Mesa has been serving Latin American food in St. Petersburg since 1995, part of the Red Mesa Group's lineup in the city. The lunch and dinner menu leans into Cuban-style cooking with dishes like Palomilla steak — thin-cut grilled steak piled with seasoned fries, sweet plantains, and tamarind aioli — and vaca frita, brisket with chile guajillo and poblano peppers served alongside congri and plantains. A kale salad with roasted sweet potatoes, pickled onion, and cashews rounds out the savory side.
Brunch runs as its own menu, built around dishes like huevos rancheros, a quesadilla suprema topped with a fried egg and salsa macha, and blue corn tortillas with berry jam and chantilly cream.
A full bar backs both menus, pouring red sangria, handcrafted margaritas, and the El Jefe, made with Maestro Dobel Diamante tequila and muddled pickled serrano chiles.
