We eat there practically every day! Of the Peruvian food restaurants, I consider this to be one of the best in terms of quality, price and quantity! The dishes are very complete! The seasoning of Graciela and her other chef who are the ones who normally cook there is spectacular! The girls who serve us are two super helpful! Attentive, loving and very special! Mr. José, the owner, is especially attentive to all the details that allow this place to be a restaurant of excellence! I highly recommend this wonderful place! The food is spectacular and the prices are very good! I congratulate you! The long fruit is a divinity! And don't hesitate to order the male fish!

For nearly 15 years I have kept quiet, but now it seems to me that I should disclose the awful experience I had with the miserable people who ran this place during the year 2009. I had dined at Meson before (and the food was good at that time), until one day, on Mother's Day 2009, I had such a dreadful nightmare of a visit that it left me with such an unpleasant and lingering distaste, that I never returned, and I shall never return there.That afternoon, I came in wanting a special sandwich they had advertised outside at that time. It was a combo of a chicken or fish sandwich (I don't remember which, but it was a burger-type sandwich), and it looked good in the picture, so I ordered it. When they brought it, it turned out that this sandwich came with cheese. The sign outside didn't mention anything about cheese, nor did the picture have cheese. I don't eat cheese, and dairy products are a problem for me. When I told the waitress, who happened to be the owner's wife, about this problem, she denied the mistake, boldly and arrogantly claiming that "it was on the menu" (which it wasn't, and in fact, she had not even given the menu to me to read when I enquired about the special from the get-go). She did nothing to resolve the situation for me as I couldn't eat cheese. 95 percent of that sandwich ended up in the trash, and she had the audacity to ask me if I liked it and if everything was okay, smiling like a fool.A reputable restaurant acknowledges its mistakes and tries to rectify valid concerns, attentively and respectfully. I as a patron simply wanted another sandwich without cheese. The ingredients were not disclosed to me and the woman did not care. But this place couldn't care less about its customers, based on my experience. The food is good, but the service they provide is so nauseating, it cancels out anything good about the food. It's not worth being in such a toxic environment, in my experience. Take your business to a place that has accountablity and transparency, and not one that places the blame on the customer unjustly, because they are too frugal to make a new sandwich on a count of their erroneous misjudgment.

Hace años que no decía nada, pero ya me parece que debo decírselo, contarles sobre mi experencia con la miserable gente que administraban este sitio durante el año 2009. He venido veces anteriores (y la comida en ese tiempo era bueno), hasta que una vez, en el Dia de La Madre 2009, me tocó una pesadilla tan horrible que me tuvo hasta el ultimo pelo y nunca fui jamás ahí. Esa tarde, fui por una especial de sandwiches que habia en esa epoca. Era un combo de un sandwich de pollo o pescado (no me acuerdo cual pero un sandwich tipo hamburguesa) y eso lo pedi. Cuando lo trajeron, resulta que este sandwich venia con queso. El cartel afuera no mencionó nada de queso. Yo no como queso y me complica los alimentos lácteos. Cuando dije a La mesera que resulto este problema y es esposa del dueño, negó la equivocación y dijo decaradamente que "estaba en el menu" (lo cual no decía). No hizo nada para resolver la situación que no comía queso. 95 por ciento de ese sandwich fue a la basura y ella tuvo la indecencia a decirme si me gustó y si todo fue bien, sonriendo como una tonta. Un restaurante reputable reconoce sus errores y trata de rectificar causas validas, atentas, y mencionadas con respeto e intención propio. Pero este sitio puede importar tres pepinos de su clientela, según mi experiencia. La comida está buena pero la atención que tienen te da nausea entonces ni vale la pena estar en un ambiente tan tóxica, según mi experiencia.

First time visiting, no one really spoke to us at first. Then Alicia approached us, she was our server & was the nicest and most patient person. She was so accommodating. We only speak a little Spanish and we communicated with her easily. The atmosphere was pleasant with good music playing in the background. Other patrons were not friendly, but we were really only there for the food. It was delicious, hot in temperature, on the expensive side, but worth it and fresh!! Felt like we were eating at someone’s home, the food was so good!! It was a wonderful treat for my husband & I. We truly will make this a place we visit again.We ate: Chaufa de Carne fried rice, Ceviche - Leche de Tigre, Picante de Camarones in hot garlic sauce. (Not sure if we spelled it right, but we left pictures of our meals.)Parking: Parking available in front of the restaurant and all around. Restaurant in the Publix shopping center, so plenty of parking available.

Our family has dined here several times. The portions are good and the food is flavorful. We just picked up our carry-out order and all our items were packed nicely and the service was good. The food tasted somewhat basic and home- made but the quality of the meat in our Lomo Salteado wasn't that great and the french fries were not the ones typically used in that dish. Overall an average experience for the price. We would go back.

Too expensive and over charge on tips without asking the costumer. Always check your bill. Never come back.
