Simple and great! Love the food here and with no wait it's a great place to eat at on a busy Friday evening!! read more

Had El Meson yesterday for lunch. Had the steak fajitas and esquite corn. It was tasty and delicious, a lot of food for a lunch portion. Service wasn't that bad. But I had to get a high chair for my daughter, and she messed up the charge for our food. Overall, it's not bad. Family friendly environment. read more

Delicious, generous portions and over-the-top margaritas. Excellent, family-oriented service. Clean and casual atmosphere. Free amazing smells. The guac is some of the best I have ever had. A personal favorite is the Nachos Jaliscos. Besides a margarita that was smoking and gurgling with seared citrus slices and requisite goofy umbrella, I also enjoyed a tall, cold draft of Dos Equis Amber (not driving that day!). I mean they just tick all the boxes. We have been going there for the last eight years and I can't wait to go again. Say hello to Fransisco and crew when you go! read more

El Meson - Margarita on the rocks salt rim (lime) - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We come here a lot and always have a good experience. The food is pretty good, and the staff is always friendly and seemingly in a good mood. Speaking of the staff, they seem to have a lot of the same people who have been there for a long time. That seems to suggest a good work culture, which seems to check out. read more

This is a solid spot if you're searching for some good Mexican food! The inside isn't anything fancy, it's the typical local Mexican restaurant vibes. The salsa is served in a big bowl which is nice not to have to ask for more with a big group. I ordered the chicken chimichanga. It was good sized & came smothered with queso & rice and beans. I also got the classic Margherita, which was good, but didn't seem like there was much alcohol at all in it for the price. Overall a good spot for a quick dinner! read more

This restaurant never disappoints! This place is no frills, and you can always expect quick service and quality food. During my last visit, I ordered the chimichanga and it was on the table within 10 minutes of arriving to the restaurant! As you can see in the pictures, you get a massive amount of food and the prices are great as well! A consistently great place for a quick meal! read more

Place was empty at 12:30pm on a Tuesday. Strange. Salsa not much flavor. Chips not too fresh. Lunch was just ok. Not my favorite tacos. Guacamole was really cold. I think it was better in the past... read more

Oh, Roberto, your tamales were so sexy... an unctuous perfection of tender masa, bright sauce, creamy cheese, smooth and earthy refritos and finely minced, flavorful beef... I gorged myself then lay on the sofa, groaning in joy. To answer your polite question: YES, I want twelve. Oh, I needed that... I will update my review when I can blow you kisses in person. For now, thank you for delivering through DoorDash. This poor Californian felt at home, for a little while... All my (gustatory) love, C read more

Was forced into the 1 star. Besides realizing before I placed my order on line they scam those orders out of chips and salsa but if you call and order you get it included the flavor is good. But due to having to call for over 10 minutes then an employee picking up the phone and setting it down, hearing them laugh about not talking to customer it's great. Oh also you will wait about 10-15 minutes with every server making direct eye contact before i'm assuming one lost rock paper scissors in the back to come to the front to help a customer. My most favorite part about the entire experience were the 3 employees staring at customers coming in , standing at front desk to be seated, AND WALKING OUT AFTER WAITING SO LONG. Nope not the best part but expecting the most place to be packed and phone ringing off the hook .. BUT NOPE! No phone calls and out of 20 tables only 4 were sat. read more

El Meson is consistently busy which speaks for their food and service. Everything I've ever ordered has come out quickly and with good quality ingredients. The servers make sure you never want or need anything and explain menu items if needed. The frozen margaritas are good here and the enchiladas Cancun are phenomenal, the shrimp are perfectly cooked- not tough and chewy like you can get at other establishments. read more

Amazing. Great staff and always good good. It's consistent in flavor and amount. The margaritas are fire I still can't explain how I got so lit off one ‍ lol read more

It should be criminal to not serve complimentary chips and salsa at Mexican restaurant , ordered online. The quesobirria tacos had absolutely 0 flavor , it seemed like beef broth not a flavorful consumme. The taco/cheese/beef ratio was inconsistent and the chicken and rice in arroz con pollo was dry read more

Place is trashed. Wasn't even going to wipe the table down before he sat us down. Not coming back. read more

Prices were awesome and there was plenty of seating available! Margaritas were yummy and the staff was super friendly! The food was typical Mexican restaurant affair but the atmosphere and staff made the restaurant shine! It is definitely family friendly and welcoming! read more

Here's your $11 taco salad people! No lettuce, no meat, a couple of spoonfuls of onion and peppers was about it! I also got some kind of gross soggy taco from them that I didn't order. Second picture. read more

First time there and it was great! Sat down right away, service was amazing and so was the food. Definitely will be back.

Nice place, lively decor and very reasonable prices. Had the pollo com crema and was very tasty. Does not come with tortillas so I asked for corn. Salsa and chips come standard. Rice was good, I'm not a huge fan of refried beans but they were ok. Service good. I'd definitely gonna k if I'm in the area again read more

Wasn't good at all Fajitas don't even sizzle. Service was ok

First time and past time here. Just opened but service was slow. After we were finally seated, I waited almost 10 minutes before flagging someone down to order. They forgot part of the order. The rice and beans were nasty. Tasted canned and dry. The chicken fajitas were great though. Got the check immediately without asking if we wanted dessert. Felt like they were pushing us out. We were not worth their time. read more

My family and I love this restaurant. We go here just about every Sunday for lunch. It's a nice relaxing visit every time. My absolute favorite dish to get is the chicken chimichanga with rice and beans, very tasty! Their chimichangas are excellent and the melted cheese they top it off with is addicting you won't be able to stop eating! If you have never been here you should give them a try, if you love Mexican food I highly recommend trying them out! read more

This place was spot on, I had the beef enchiladas with mole and it was delicious, also had the fish tacos and those delicious also beans and rice. I left full asf read more

100% horrible! We were packed in like sardines. Our food was cold waiting for over 25 minutes for it. Then we were overcharged for a meal we didn't even order. Instead of the waiter correcting our bill he gave me cash to make up for what the bill was. Don't waste your time, there are too many Mexican restaurants around to eat here! read more

I wasn't really impressed with much. The service wasn't very good and they were a bit rude when we ordered. I ordered Arroz con Pollo, but it came out cold. Also without tortillas, which was a little weird. That seems to be standard at most Mexican joints. My husband ordered a burrito and enchilada - both beef - and he was really unimpressed with both. The rice and beans were fine. Nothing special, nothing particularly bad. Chips and queso were good, pretty run of the mill. Not a fan of the salsa. With SO many Mexican options just down the road, I'd save your money and try one of the others. read more

Best Mexican Resturant in Greenwood! I love their chips and spicy but not too spicy salsa. My favorite meal is the Quesdilla Relano with Grilled Chicken. Very clean and well decorated, Great service with a fair price. read more

I would recommend this place! The margaritas are great! Sylvia is the absolute best. Great food at reasonable prices. The portions are large. Try this place! read more

My family has been eating here for years and had no complaints until now. We won't go back. I'd rather not get into the details, but suffice it to say that we were treated rudely by the staff. Ordinarily I would chalk it up as an aberration, but there was a very strange hostility and a sense that we weren't welcome. I really don't know what to say. The four of us all picked up on it. It was one of my worst dining experiences ever. Try La Hacienda; it's better anyway. read more

I love this place! I come here once or twice a week for lunch and enjoy the Speedy special. The staff is always friendly, remembers what I eat and drink, and tells me to 'have a great day, amigo!" as I leave. The salsa is great and flavorful, and the chips I've been served are always fresh. There are hotter salsas out there, and chunkier salsas, but for me this one is about perfect. read more

Food has no seasoning, staff was not friendly. Order was incorrect and they tried to charge me for their mistake

It's a standard Mexican joint. We shared the carnitas fajitas. Way more food than we were expecting. Fresh ingredients and good flavor. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Very poor customer service. My husband and I ordered 2 entrees. His was undercooked and mine was beef although I ordered chicken. Asked how we can fix the issue and they said they could not. Not great at problem solving and keeping the customer happy. read more

I try not to put too much stock into singular bad experiences with bad waiters, but my visit to El Meson included that. I ordered a chicken chimichanga and a tamale. I asked that the tamale come with chicken on top instead of beef, and the waiter said that was fine. When the tamale came, the tamale had beef on top instead of chicken. When I mentioned it, the waiter merely said, "Okay." He did not offer to rectify the situation. Besides that, the food was fine. Just understand that you may not get what you have asked for. For me, there are better Mexican restaurants nearby. read more

This place is wonderful!! For $3.99, you can get the Speedy Gonzalez (taco, enchilada, and rice or beans). The free chips and salsa are great -- and if you ask, they bring out the secret HOT salsa. You are in and out in a flash. About 12 of us come monthly for lunch, and we are in an out in an hour. read more

Do you like crazy colors? Do you like learning spanish from crazy crap on the walls? Do you forget where you are easily and like to be reminded by custom made seating with "El Meson" written all over it? Well then El Meson is the place for you! I've been here a couple of times now and it is usually pretty busy. I'm torn between three and four stars. The food was about average, 3 stars, but the orchata was like home made, 4 stars! Service was slow at times, it took forever to get me some damn tortillas, 3 stars. Prices were fair to cheap. 4 stars. The food was just...well okay. Not the worst, not the best. Really that's what counts in the end, so I'll have to go with 3 stars. That being said, I'll be back and maybe they'll earn another star. Parking is plentiful, plentyful? no, no, it's plentiful. Location is well, I'm not from Indiana so I guess it is a good location, there's stuff around...yeah. Three Stars! read more

Our favorite mexican place by far. Portions are better than adequate, food is quite tasty, staff is attentive and polite.. don't really need more than that. We normally stick with our favorites, quesadillas, enchiladas, chimichangas, arroz con pollo, burritto - and these are just for me! j/k. Love to partner their free chips with their white queso sauce.. just the right combination of flavors makes this a family favorite. Pricing is fairly comparable.. Located in the Kroeger strip mall on Emerson, right next to my favorite pizza place. read more

Sorry to report that my dining experience was sub-par. I was seated immediately. The waitress appeared and took my drink order and brought quickly. I ask for a few moments to review the menu...and she disappeared. There are of course lots of reasons why this can occur, but the 8 other waitstaff and host walked past my table repeatedly and did not inquire if i wanted to place an order..at lease five minutes. Eventually one of the waiters who had been standing at the bar, brought out a take out order and then asked if I wanted to place an order. I placed the order with him he walked back to the kitchen. and apparently told the waitress who came out to confirm, I guess. The Steak Ranchero was essentially boiled in the overly juicy "sauce". The rice that came with it was cold and shared a plate with refried beans that were warm... how does that happen? On the plus side the guacamole appetizer was very good. I also had to wait a long time for my check. read more

Overall I really like this place. The service is above average for Mexicans. The Choripollo is great. The drinks are large! The salsa isn't my favorite but still pretty good too. Great spot for a decent Mexican meal. read more

This place was everything we hoped for and then some. It was packed, so clearly we aren't the only ones who love this place. The food was great and the service was out if this world, what more can you ask for these days! The waiter could not have been more kind and respectful. We will be back! read more

Got a Chimichanga that was supposed to be a deep fried shell. Got a white tortilla instead. Got chips and salsa, and it tasted like dirty dishwater. Got nachos, which had 5 pounds of chicken and veggies on top, with literally 5 chips on the bottom. Do not recommend. read more

The menu has a wide variety. The atmosphere is great! The service is excellent!!!! My husband says the beer is cold and cheap and delicious! Also, I didn't know it when answering the questions, but catering is available!!! read more

El Meson - A chili pepper playing the guitar. What's better than that?! - Mexican Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Unfortunately the only compliment I can provide is that the place was clean. The food was beyond bland, steak tacos, beans and rice. The steak never saw a grill it was pale and was likely boiled in a pot. No seasonings, beans and rice similarly bland and tasteless. Incredibly unremarkable. read more
