Besides the casual but intimate ambiance El Meson offers a perfect Mexican-Cuban combo cuisine, the flavour is just perfect. Excellent service.

Love, love this place. The gazpacho soup is a cold soup - great for summer. Order the ahi tuna salad. The service is impeccable and Pedro, the owner, is also a wonderful sommelier.

This is one of my all time favorites! We have been coming here since we moved to the neighborhood in 1997. It’s never failed to satisfy our craving! We love the Palomilla of course…..enjoy

They had run out of the porkchop, but offered me a different cut with the fixings of the original dish. Excellent!

Its actually called El Meson and its the best down home cuban cusine in the village! Try the bisteck empanizado and the wine list is very extensive, a great selection of spanish wines.

Really good food but slow service. Supposedly was a new kitchen staff that night. We got 30% off for the wait.

Carne Guisada is a must. Perfectly balanced dish with oh so tender meat.

In addition to the award-winning wine list, El Meson is known for their paella: it's well worth the 30-minute prep time.
