Margaritas  are the best

The food is amazing!! The staff and owners is the best ever !! We eat there everyday !! Best margaritas i have ever had !! Love you guys so much!! Oscar and Ruth are amazing !!

Cousin Eddy...The Pepper Man

AWESOME. Cousin Eddy does a great job. He will take your request and make it into a majestic experience. He will take a pepper, leave and give you the best salsa you have ever had.

The restaurant is beautiful

The server was amazing and the ambiance was really beautiful. The carvings on the chairs and tables are beautiful. I really enjoyed the artwork. The food was not that great in full transparency. I am Hispanic and I was completely floored by the lack of taste. The food was not seasoned and the traditional seasoning was not used, it was bland and not very good. I loaded salsa, pico everything and it still was not good. I even asked for more seasonings and they took it back and it came back still lacking. I really hope they add some Sazon and Adobo, garlic and seasoning to the food. We will not be coming back. There was this one server who kept sneezing INTO his hands and he didn't wash his hands. I was so grossed out. The restaurant was also not the cleanest.

I've been coming to this place for more than 20 years...on and off because I don't live in the state anymore. I came around 3pm on a Thursday this time so there was ample parking and there was no wait for a table. You get complimentary salsa and chips, and I usually get queso to eat with the chips too. The chips were still warm when they got to the table, very fresh, not overly salty like some tortilla chips. I also ordered my tried and true chimichangas de papas. Everything was delicious! Often places that you go to a lot over time the menu changes or the quality of the food declines, but my opinion is that El Meson has maintained good quality, great tasted, fresh Mexican food. The portions are huge so be prepared to maybe not be able to eat it all in one sitting. The restaurant is beautiful with art on the table and chairs. Mexican music plays while you enjoy your meal. I'll keep coming back!

ha ha I'm at the restaurant right now and I ordered a margarita one single one and the man server waiter waitress whatever have you rushed me through ordering, so then finally he's like look the kitchen is about to close. so there was no one so I had to basically go and seat myself and they kept saying oh I'm sorry, so he messes up my drink order and brings me TWO margaritas but since he already made the drinks and I'm a server I felt BAD for him that he already wasted the alcohol and he would get in trouble so I told him well. I'll go ahead and drink it, but can you charge it as the big one since you screwed up so immensely already you brought me two margaritas I ordered one Uno. my server literally takes my margarita off the table in front of me and then goes over to the bar and he's gonna make his own new drink or something no honey you already messed up my original order. All I did is ask you to poke a button on the point of sale. It's incredibly easy, but no, of course he had to go back to the busy bar and get caught up in all that mess and finally I had to go over and get my drink from him and serve it myself. now instead of having what I ordered a cute little drink that I kept saying small over and over to this man it's in a big gigantic glass like I think that in 2024 honestly women should be able to be listened to by men, especially if I'm ordering something from your restaurant. I think it's a little annoying and it's kind of reckless of a restaurant to just completely ignore what the customer asked for. So no, I'm not thankful for this place.. It needs to be torn down and made into a green space. PS now that I've left the restaurant after I drank that gigantic margarita I didn't ask for it's raining and I'm wasted thanks a lot. A lot of people would be excited, but that's not what I came for! This place sucks.FAIL MESON

Fantastic food. I had the Baja shrimp tacos. The price was a little high ($26) but they were delicious, as was the rice and bean soup.

We started with the Pozole Verde soup which has chicken and veggies and is amazing. Must try!! The Texas fajita wish trio was full of steak chicken and shrimp. Good portion for the size and the meats marinated well and very juicy. The chicken burrito was packed with shredded chicken. The Birria tacos beef came with a tangy zesty dipping sauce. Yummy on a crispy tacos. The start dish has to be the fish tacos. Large mahi fillet is the center and nice topping. Well balanced. Not soggy. We loved everything. We highly recommend this place!

It's very modern with vibrant decor and good music playing. There's a large Bar in the middle of the restaurant with TV's and booths and tables all around. No outdoor dining that I can remember, but I could be mistaken. We've had several dishes, but my go to is the Spicy Burrito with Tinga or grilled chicken. You won't find a spicier burrito with flavor anywhere in town. If you like melted cheese, almost every dish is swimming in it. According to my wife the Margaritas are on point! I prefer a cold beer. The service is good. We're always greeted and have good conversation with the servers and bar tenders when we dine in VS take out. They have a big party for Cinco de Mayo every year. Highly recommend.

The bathrooms are always clean, which I appreciate. Paid street parking is usually easy to find, though during busy hours it can take a little more time. The veggie fajitas are an absolute treat and full of flavor. The guacamole is fresh and perfectly seasoned, and the salsa is truly top notch. One of the most delightful surprises is that the churros are vegan, and they are unforgettable. The Papillón dish is especially meaningful. It can be made vegan and comes from the owner's grandmother's recipe in Guatemala. That personal touch really shines through and makes the menu feel inspired and unique. There used to be a young blonde male bartender who was hands down one of the best servers I have ever had. He was personable and somehow remembered both your order and your conversations even months later. That level of hospitality really stood out. Prices are not cheap, and the ingredients are not explicitly organic, but the quality, flavor, and thoughtful menu make it well worth it. Highly recommend if you are looking for consistently great food and a standout dining experience in Chattanooga.
