Mesa is pronounced - Me sa, not Mess a.
If you go with the Me sa you sound like a Mexican. Us Gringos say Mess a. At least that is how it was done in El Paso.

Mesa is pronounced - Me sa, not Mess a. It is correctly, gringo or not, pronounced May-sa. This is the correct way to pronounce an e followed by an s-ay, two esses would then be pronounced ess as in mess. Maybe after a hard rain you might think a muddy mesa was a mess-a mud but that is about it.
