El Meson Review

El Mesón is a Mexican style restaurant that has good people, and good prices. But when it comes to the food, it is not so good. The price range is pretty cheap which is why I suspect the food isn’t very delicious. I have gone to this restaurant only two times, and from my visits I haven’t had a pleasurable experience that you should normally get a restaurant.

            As for the atmosphere of this place, they have quality Mexican culture in and out of the building. Colorings from little children are posted on the wall which is nice, and they have Spanish music playing. There’s nothing exciting about the place, but it is quaint and it very well fits the mood for a Mexican food craving.

            I was pretty disappointed at the food like I said. Although I haven’t tried many dishes on their menu, I can say that my food was under cooked, and not very flavor filled. One of the things I had was their Quesadilla Mazatlon. The cheese was awful, because it felt like soft plastic to me. But it came with rice and beans on the side as well, and the rice was actually pretty good, but the beans were mediocre. As far as the variety on their menu goes, they do a good job at providing many choices. Because Mexican isn’t my favorite type of food, I don’t plan on trying more of the food there. But if you are one who loves Mexican, maybe they would have a dish on there that would interest you because of their wide array of food.

            I’m not sure what to say about the service that El Mesón provides. The first time I visited, I had a terrible waitress who was not very friendly, and had forgot our drinks. Because it was my first time, I had questions about the menu. As I asked her my questions, she said she wasn’t sure, and had to ask another person, and it seemed like she was just guessing about things. But when I surprisingly went my second time, I had a waiter that was inviting, and prompt. He cleared our empty plates as we finished and asked us if we needed him to get anything. So I guess I need to visit more often to decide on an accurate evaluation of their service. You might get a server who is great, or you might get one who is not so great.

 

            Would I recommend you visiting El Mesón? I think it would be your last option. While it may not be that great of a restaurant, I don’t think it’s an awful one. But it is definitely a last resort. I give this restaurant a 4, because of their inconsistence of good service, and the bad food. Hopefully if you are brave enough to try it yourself, maybe you’ll have a better experience than I did.
