El Meson Reviews
Kylie was our amazing server today for our first visit in...she was awesome and so was the food and the atmosphere! Highly recommend 😁
Fantastic place and we've been going there for 25+ years! Always such a great experience and look forward to going again very soon.
The Castro family is top notch ♥️ We just had my dad’s Celebration of Life at El Meson, and it was truly spectacular! Everyone commented about what an amazing experience it was. From the food to the service to the venue. It’s been a family favorite for many years, and this was just the icing on the cake. My dad would’ve been honored 🖤

El Meson is a well-loved spot in the Dayton area, known for its authentic Caribbean, Central America, and South America dishes. The covered patio provides a lovely South American ambiance, making it a great place to relax. Guests enjoy flavorful tapas, margs, and tacos, all of top quality. The saltada and chorizo lentil soup are delicious and pair well with a good selection of South American wines. The restaurant features a neat Latin flair, with options to dine inside, outside, or on the covered patio. The atmosphere is fun, especially in the greenhouse area when the weather is nice. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing service that is always nice, and they support large parties well. Prices are reasonable, and the unique menu offers a wonderful dining experience for any occasion. Despite some recent slow service and slightly smaller portions, many customers still find El Meson a special place worth visiting regularly, thanks to its beautiful space and great food. The restaurant has been around and owned by the same family for 45 years, showcasing their passion for hospitality. With a variety of options, including the Arroz Ya ya and the lamb shanks, El Meson continues to be a favorite for those who appreciate a lively atmosphere and flavorful dishes.
