Best Food in Minneapolis – My boyfriend and I go out for dinner quite often and there is no place like El Meson! The food in incredible and the wine is great too! We always end up there because we know that it will be fabulous!
LOVED IT!!!! – It is New Years Eve and stopped in on a whim and was seated immediatley. Our waitress who I kept calling Rita but I think it was actually Dena was awesome. The food was spectacular and I even got the recipe for the lobster bisque. YUMMY!!! It is a must go and we will be back.
Cozy place with lots of character. – Excellent restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Good Sangria an a nice pear wrapped in proscuito appetizer. The prok with risotto and blackberry glaze was excellent and so was the Puerto Rican rice with seafood. They have Tapas on the menu as well. A must try Latin bistro.
Great Paella! great wine! and music – This is the first time we visit El Meson and it was a great evening. Mi wife and I ordered the Paella Valenciana and it was great! Also make sure you order a Sangria, it is delicious. Remember to make a reservation before you go and if you are planning on eating the Paella make sure you tell them when you make your reservation because it takes 45 min to cook. The live music was very romantic and our waitress was very helpful. I will definitely comeback to EL Meson, however, next time I w... read more
great restaurant! – I have eaten at El Meson quite often and it has become my favorite restaurant. The food and service are always top notch. The newly redecorated interior adds a warm and romantic atmosphere and the expanded patio area is great on a nice summer evening. If you haven't been here in the past year, please return. You will be pleasantly surprised.
More spanish/latin than Cuban – Very good food, and an excellent lunch buffet. Their dishes are exotic and creative, with rich sauces and unique combinations of ingredients. I have seen the paella and it looks wonderful-- I plan on trying it soon. They have recently updated the interior and have live music on the weekends. Definitely a nice change from chain restaurants.
Good Latin food--but no Cuban available – I went to El Meson because I was looking for Cuban food, and CitySearch listed it as such. I came away pleased with the restaurant, but Cuban it ain't, nor does it even attempt to be or claim to be. Whoever reviewed it for CitySearch and listed it as Cuban probably thinks Castro is Puerto Rican.
Great lunch buffet! – A co-worker and I found this place by accident. We were very plesantly surprised! The lunch buffet was fantastic, both in flavor and variety. This is certainly more of a pan-latin joint than Cuban. Smoky pork ribs, black bean soup, rice-n-beans, and an absolutely smashing curry chiken dish! Their salsa was very good, too. You could easily make this a regular lunch destination.
Great Food , Great Wine, Great Service – The best Paella, Great Wine , Beautiful Restaurant , The service was Excellent, Thanks
