# Mesa

> Private matchmaking in Auckland for Latinas, Latinos, and Kiwis who want a serious partner. One introduction at a time. If both people say yes, Mesa books a table for two and covers dinner (up to NZ$150 including drinks).

Mesa is not a dating app. There is no feed, no swipe, and no public profile. Other members cannot search for you. A real person reviews every application. An introduction is one photo, a first name, a neighbourhood, and a few lines — only the two people see it. You have 72 hours to say yes or pass.
