Review by Gertrude Stark

El Meson is a delightful gem that beautifully blends Spanish, Cuban, and Tex-Mex flavors! 🌮

I recently visited for dinner and started with their amazing bacon-wrapped dates - a must-try! For my main course, the beef enchiladas were spot on, perfectly spiced and satisfying. The atmosphere is cosy, with a friendly staff that made sure our drinks were never empty.

Don’t skip dessert; the homemade flan is the cherry on top. With a nice outdoor seating area and an accessible layout, it’s perfect for a casual family night out or a romantic dinner. Plan to return soon! 🍷✨
