The food was amazing! First, I ate a basket and a half of chips. Then, I had tacos with rice and beans. I really liked how there was queso between the tortillas. Lastly, I had fried ice cream and it was great! A MUST try Indy Mexican restaurant… 🌮 🇲🇽 🍨

We love coming here! They always treat us like friends that they’ve known for a long time! The food is always amazing and their service impeccable! We always make a chips and salsa order to take home because the salsa is the best!

My family has been eating lunch every Sunday at El Meson for the past 11 years. Maybe more. The food is absolutely fantastic and almost all Mexican friends of ours say it is very authentic and real Mexican food. The service is fantastic and we pretty much know everyone? 5 stars all around. YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE???
