El Meson Mexican Restaurant

We ate at El Meson last night.  The amount of food you get is really good.  The prices are very modest.  It was full of families having dinner.  The waiters were attentive without being intrusive.  The food was tasty.

So why only 4 stars and not 5?  The food was very good in an American/Mexican way, it was not outstanding.  The room was very colorful, but in a kitsch kind of way, kind of a poor man's Tiki Room at Disney Land, and not fine dining.

If you are a family looking for a nice night out with the kids or parents, this is the place to go.  If you are a YUPPIE looking to impress a date, better find more of a top shelf restaurant to go to.

The food was fantastic. The prices were incredibly cheap. My family of 6 ate for $56 including desert and the tip. I have been too many Mexican restaurants and this one is in the top two.

Whoever said the food here was bland must not have taste buds. This place has lots of flavor. Some of the best salsa in town, great queso dip, prices are reasonable and the service (for the most part) is on top of things, they can be hit or miss but I've never had notably bad service. I've also never had a bad meal either.
