Had a catered event from El Meson and the food was phenomenal. I had a group of 30 people and everyone complimented the food. Food was fresh and well seasoned. We had rice, chicken and pernil .

I have to give a three-star this is the first time that I placed an order online and went to go pick it up usually when I visit here I go into the restaurant and order. Something was going on with my phone and they were trying to call me to let me know that the pork chops that I had picked out they no longer had so when I got there I couldn't even pick up my order I had to still wait and I had ordered their fried cheese by the time I got home it was soggy and not really good....
