I love this place. They have some new menu items that are really great. I was there for an event (shout out to JCOWA) so didn't see the menu, but the new chicken with a mustard (?) sauce was a hit! Always love the Manchego cheese puffs. As usual, the empanadas, rice, meatballs, flan- all of it- was very good.Tha atmosphere is very fun; it's also nice to sit outside, or in the atrium. Definitely look at God's for sale. There's something for everyone.Great place to host an event.

The menu has seriously gone downhill over the years. Used to be one of my favorites in Dayton.

If I could give them a zero I would. I have eaten there twice before and was disappointed by the hygiene of a young man who works in the kitchen named Benny Bledsoe. I have known Benny for many years and know that he has roaches, a ferret, and a dog and does not wash his hands often. I was disappointed by the fact that he was hired in as a kitchen worker. When I saw Benny in El Meson I made that my last time eating there. His uniform stays dirty and his hygiene isn't up to par. Do better or get Benny's hygiene together.

Once we just came by at 430 on a weekday and tried a bunch of tapas- they were all great! Very friendly service people too. Another time we came for our anniversary with a 3 wk baby at home who needed to be fed soon, and they got us a table right away even though they were really busy. I was so grateful. Just love the food and service all wonderful.

I ate here during Dayton's Winter Restaurant Week. The food was good, especially the Birria quesadilla. The tres leche cake could have been a little more moist, but it was good.

A unique blend of Mexican, Cuban, Columbian flavors. If you are looking for something not like every other restaurant....look no further. The food was great. Pricing very reasonable. And the amount of food was perfect. We will definitely be returning. Eager for more.

My entree was fantastic. I got the jamican pork burrito. It was delicious.They serve bread first, I wouldn't reccomend it. It was stale and tasted like it came off the discount shelf at Walmart. It really didn't fit.I ordered tres Leche for desert. It missed the mark. The cake tasted good and there was a soft moist core to it, but the outside including the bottom was as dry as a cracker. I watched my girlfriend bite into it and I knew it wasn't going to be good.I'm split on if I want to go back because the entrees I've had there have always been amazing.

The restaurant was cute and the staff were friendly. Sadly the food was underwhelming. Did not care for anything we ordered including the sangria.
