What User doesn't like about El Meson:
Visited with my wife and my children. Had a nice culinary experience on the terrace. We ordered the Paella El Meson, it was tomato eye and not much taste, so it was okay, not bad, but not good. We had two tapas and they were pretty good. They had no children's menus or children's items, so there were no options for the children. Her wine list was very extensive and beautiful. View all feedback. What User likes about El Meson:
This place surprised me very much. The meat was wonderfully tender, the salad was fresh and the service was great. They could say they emphasize the ingredient quality above all. The presentation could be better, but is it really important as long as it tastes good? Nice, but delicious. Experience a stop for all traditional Spanish connoisseurs. View all feedback.

Food was over priced and lacking flavor. The only saving grace for this place was the good service and nice location/ambience.

Delicious tapas and paella in a relaxed environment and a nice selection of wines. Waiters with personality! Only a few parking spots in front for $5.

Excellent food. Pretty pricy, dishes are not huge. But pretty authentic.

Excellent paellas, just a tad on the pricey side, typical of Rice Village. Great wine list and superb desserts. Always on the short list for paellas.
