True Authentic Mexican food. Worth the wait!!
The price is right and the food is consistent. We love to sit outside when the weather is nice. It's BYOB, so bring the Jose Cuervo Margarita's and you're in for a treat. My favorite is the carnito's, the Triple Enchilada platter or the fajita's. Yum!

This place is the WORST!!! We had to wait to have our order taken. The food had no taste. However, the absolute worst thing about this place is the Manager. The table next to us was seated first, had there order taken before us and did not receive their meal until we were paying for ours!. A man at the table spoke to the Manager (or maybe owner) in a very non-confrontational way and said they had been waiting a very long time for their food. The Manager barked back at them that they HAD NOT been waiting long and the food would get there when it was ready! WE WILL NEVER GO TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN!!!!! I WOULD HAVE WALKED OUT AT THIS POINT

The place is great. Real authentic and totally delicious mexican food. The decor of the place makes you feel like you're in some crazy mexican fiesta and the outdoor dining is tented off so you don't have to deal with sun and weather. Amazing place - I absolutely recommend.

I can eat fajitas at El Meson everyday, I love them. I also love the borritos & the chicken enchiladas. The chimicjangas are just outstanding! The atmospher is cozzy and well stay. The prices are just right.

In this area you cannot match the authenticity. Yes its small and crowded, but the food more than makes up for it. Prices are good and service is very accommodating. The menu is an excellent representation of a typical restaurant menu in Mexico. As for John Os review 1st learn how to spell and 2nd enjoy Taco Bell. I heard they are open late too.

El meson is an amazing restaurant. The food is to die for. Its a little expensive for Mexican, but its so authentic and delicious. Its BYOB so you can bring your favorite alcoholic beverage if you choose to. Its a small place and is always crowded which is the downside. In the summer they have outside tables which is nice. There really isnt any parking around, but about a block down theres a municipal lot that you can park in. Its a really great place with great food and definitely something everyone should try at least once.

My wife and I have been going here for many years. We go at least four times per month. You will not find anything nothing fancy about this place, no fancy clothes needed, no expensive meals, and no liquor licence. What you will find is THE BEST tasting food you will EVER eat. The service is great, the staff is friendly, and did I mention the food is outstanding! Everyone who I have recommended this place to absolutely falls in love with it. Do yourself a favor and try other places first, then come to EL MESON. You too will agree with what I am saying. From their freshly made salsa to their large portioned entrees, this place is in a league of their own!

I've given this restaurant more than its fair share of tries (3 to be exact), and each time it became consecutively worse. The restaurant is small and cramped, and as far as the food quality is concerned, save your money and just go down the road to Taco Bell; it's better anyway. The restaurant always seems understaffed and overstuffed, and nobody in my family lieks it.
PROS: --
CONS: Bad food, bad service, small and crowded

This is my absolute favorite restaurant ever. The menu is extensive and covers food such as nachos to cactus. The service is pleasant and the atmosphere is fun and casual. Bring your own beer or margaritas to complete your experience. The only problem with this restaurant is the lack of space and parking.
PROS: fun atmosphere, great food
CONS: usually very crowded
