+1 for [Meh-sah]. I've heard someone pronounce it mess-a which made me question my own pronunciation...but I believe its meh-sah :lol:

this question is hilarious for someone from southern california...

everything out here is a mesa... la mesa, mira mesa, costa mesa, rancho mesa, mountain mesa, barona mesa, otay mesa, baldy mesa, or just plain old "mesa"...

your exact pronunciation would probably depend on your exact dialect of Spanish, but the standard is "may-suh" (or "mey-suh", "meh-sah", etc) as people have been saying
