Fantastic fusion – A delightful combination of traditional spanish entrees, like paella, with contemporary caribbean flavors. El meson also offers an impressive wine list to complement the exotic flavors. Start with the peras, they're the bomb.
Great Tapas and Vino! – El Meson is one of my favorite spots in town. The food is always great as well as the service, they are so personable. I love the tapa menu and there great wine list, with some really wonderful Spanish and South American wines and you can't beat the 1/2 price bottles Sun-Thurs. Try and go on a saturday night when they have the Flamenco music. You feel like you have stepped out of Minneapolis and into a cozy little restaurant in Spain!
the place to be! – I spent my New Year's Eve in the company of good friends at El Meson. I had a such a fantastic experience from the attentive service to the excellent food to the live flamenco music. They had a special holiday menu which featured an imaginative variety of entrees, salads and appetizers. The "Borrego" - lamb - caught my eye as it was marinated in cinnamon and paprika and served with roasted red pepper mashed potatoes and asparagus. Every bite was so savory and rich, it was disappointing when my plate was em... read more
Great food! – I would strongly recommend El Meson. I've been going there for years, and is one of my favorites. The arroz con pollo is especially good!
Great Upsale Mexican Restaurant – This place is wonderful!! I've never been to an upsale Mexican restaurant but this one takes the cake as far as service, presentation and ambience it offers.
Fabulous food in a warm and romantic atmosphere – El Meson has an ambiance perfect for dining with a sweetheart or visiting with a group of good friends. The servers are pleasant and accomodating. The food is absolutely delicious--from the bread, to the tapas, to the entrees. The paella is absolutely wonderful and worth the wait. The scallops are fabulous; the rice dishes consistently delicious and flavorful. El Meson's lunch buffet is an incredible value with a fantastic variety of delicious entrees, fruits, salads and dess... read more
My Favorite Place to eat! – I used to go to El Meson years ago and I thought the food was pretty good. But when it was bought by Erin Ungerman and Hector Ruiz it suddenly became my favorite restaurant in the Twin Cities. A average decor was transformed into a beautifully simple yet elegant atmosphere where you can lose yourself in the bold, vibrant colors. Of course the best thing is the food. I love the lunch buffet! There are the succulent pork ribs and the wonderful wings. The fresh rice pudding is always my favorite way ... read more
Half-price wine??? Stop talking dirty to me... – In my dining experience at El Meson, I encountered a unique yet brilliant marriage of cultural integrity and culinary delight. True to Spanish and Caribbean mores, warmth was not limited to the charming ambiance or the piping hot food, but was also genuinely personified as ?afectuoso? by the restaurant staff. I plan to return to El Meson again and would positively become a regular if I lived closer, but I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an experience wit... read more
Great Deals on Wine – I have been going to El Meson for over three years. With half-priced bottles of wine (mostly Spanish wines) and $5 off carafes of sangria on Sunday-Thursday, the price points can't be beat. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to offer any advice if needed. Not that advice is needed, all the food is delicious. The flavors are bold and unique, unlike any other restaurants that I have been to. The cozy booths are perfect for an intimate dinner or lively conversation. If you let them know that y... read more
