Customer Reviews
Just ate there today, my family and I have been regulars for years now. The staff usually remember us as the chicken enchiladas family lol. Owe them a good review at this point, as their food is always a good hit! Besides the enchiladas, the carne asada, the mojarra frita, and the chimichangas are great choices too.
I truly wish they were places like this where I currently live in Phoenix Arizona, but unfortunately not. El Mason is in a league of their own when it comes to producing the best Mexican food I’ve ever had in my life. There’s something to be said about walking into the restaurant and seeing their orange walls and authentic Mexican style theme. I’ve always loved the fact that they have multiple varieties of different sauces to choose from which range from extremely spicy to moderately spicy to a brown sauce. One of my all-time favorite dishes there is the Nacho supreme, and they literally do not hold back. Always very generous with their portions. I’m always a burrito guy so whenever I go there, I’m getting either a steak burrito or lamb burrito. Regardless of what you get it’s top-notch qu
I recently dined at El Meson and I had a very pleasurable experience. The water was attentive, patient, and polite. This was a huge plus as we have to young children. The chips and salsa always hit the spot. The guacamole was fresh and tasty. I had Caldo de Mariscos to start and it was delicious. I also had a chimichanga that had a good ratio of meat to cheese to sauce. Overall, it was a pleasurable experience and I look forward to returning.
This was our first time trying this place and we’ll definitely be back! I ordered the taco platter and my partner got the enchilada combo. Both meals were made exactly to our customizations and the portions were generous. The food really satisfied our craving for authentic Mexican. Our waiter was incredibly sweet and attentive, and the atmosphere was clean, colorful, and welcoming.
The servers are attentive. The atmosphere is cute. The food is ample but for me it's "ok" I'm expecting flavor and it lacked it.Make no mistake the portions are huge. I also have a personal pet peeve the use of Fabuloso while eating its just a very strong smell.
