Café El Mesón is a hidden gem! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere makes it perfect for a laid-back breakfast or lunch. I indulged in the El Jibarito Chicken Sandwich - absolutely delicious with grilled chicken and chipotle sauce between smashed plantains.

The staff is welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall charm. Don’t miss their refreshing Agua Fresca Parcha and the tempting oatmeal frappe. I even noticed they offer an event space! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and a warm vibe. I can’t wait to go back! 🥰
