Amazing food and service! We had such good time and vibe. Ate the tacos and Borritos Gigante. Both were out of this world! Been to many Mexican places (including Mexico) and this one definitely one of my top 3. Enjoy! read more

Food is great. I asked for easy pico on my house dip, it came out great but wish it had less beef and more cheese but that's fine. Water was kept topped off. Server was sweet. But the fans were on high, and pedestal fans were reading 83 - 85, and I asked for a cooler area and it felt like they put us in an inferno. I get that it's summer and ac issues happen, but this is a serious problem for people like myself who have health issues made worse by heat intolerance when we cannot regulate our own body temperature. No signs were posted that it was hotter than Satan's armpit, nor did they try to accommodate us - the man just joked that a fan was behind the large wooden booth. If the food wasn't so freakin good and the girl so good at her job, they wouldn't have any stars at all. She literally saved them. read more

I have been here twice. Food is always good. The New building is beautiful. Very large and lots of seating. This time I had to talk to salad with steak. It was served hot and fresh with lots and lots of steak! My sister had The enchiladas and they were served hot and fresh with rice and beans. The only downside was my girlfriend got a blue Margarita drink and it was not very good. Strawberry daiquiris Yes delicious. The waiter was rude and impatient to me because I was Asking questions about the menu. And then he overcharged me for something I didn't buy. Everyone else in our group had a good meal. read more

Salsa was out a can had a bad after taste and the refried beans was very dry, if you pay with a card check your bank statement to make sure it's what you signed for and no one added anything to it. read more

I don't know, man. This is gonna sound real snobby, but... If you were raised in Southern California, there is genuine, solid, authentic Mexican food dotted across the landscape. Same with Texas, Arizona. Tennessee? Uh. Not so much. But, hey it's better than no Mexican food. And they try here. But, everything we ordered tasted pre-fab. Like store bought from the chips, salsa to the taco shells. The tacos were similar in taste to a fast food joint we have in California - Del Taco. Now, I actually like Del Taco, but for a sit down restaurant, you gotta do better. The two stars are based on the Socal scale. Probably four in Tennessee. It's alright. Give it a try. read more

Everything was AWESOME! Beans and cheese along with salsa to start. Server brought everything we asked for and was very attentive. Straws were included with silverware in paper wrapper- convenient. Food was great. Salsa very fresh. Server took payment from table instead of having to "pay at front"- convenient. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Great atmosphere, good vibes and clean read more

We have been to Meson San Pedro twice and both times it was delicious!! Everyone always loves their food. It's very flavorful. I don't even like chips and salsa that much but the salsa is scrumptious and we love that they bring out a cheesy bean dip as well. Highly recommend the birria tacos! They were tender, flavorful, delicious-- I could go on! And if you go on Sundays or Thursdays they have buy one get one on margs. Great deal. Awesome local dinner spot. read more

Great fast service! Friendly Server who handled our table needs very well. Chicken fajitas were delicious! Love the salsa and chips were super fresh. Also LOVED that Everton gets their own salsa mini bowl. Cheese Dip was a win!! Would totally go back if I was in the area! read more

We've been here a few times...the last time here was unfortunate. Checked bank account a few days later and it was $11 more than what was written in by us. Owner said "that was me" must have put in wrong number. CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS. I'm hearing it's not uncommon here. read more

Great Food! Good prices!!! Friendly service .. I love the bean cheese dip you get free with your chips!!! My cousin was visiting and he was telling them what he liked and always ordered at the Mexican restaurant in his home town...they offered to make the same thing for him and he was very pleased!! They go above and beyond!! read more

She's lost all of her help that were with her at the other restaurant , some say with the migrant crisis she let her good help that spoke English go for cheeper labor. Seems so, last couple visits waitress or waiters didn't understand simple words. Even complete meals were wrong , but we accepted and ate what was brought to us . If they didn't understand the first time might as well take what you get. read more

I was sat pretty quickly. I noticed the family next to me had to flag down someone to refill their drinks. All of their drinks needed refills so that may something about the service they were receiving. The chips tasted store bought and not freshly made in house, the salsa was mediocre, but the refried beans and cheese was a nice bonus. My waiter was sweating profusely so that was rather off-putting. I ordered a steak burrito. I wasn't impressed with the flavor, but then again, I lived in California long enough to know what good mexican food taste like. We had no issues communicating until it came to payment. The price of the meal was less than $13. After tax I was owed about $5 and some change. He proceeds to give me a $5 bill. When I ask for ones, he pretends not to understand and acts like I'm saying he can keep the $5. Buddy was trying to get a 40% tip. Tired of the game, I just tell him to give me a one dollar and keep the 5. enjoy your 32% tip, amigo, because it's the last dollar this place sees from me. read more

Longtime favorite Sparta Mex restaurant. Updated menu with some great food. Bar has updated and improved. Familiar staff, fast and friendly, every time! We love it when we have that craving! read more

"Can I get a rootbeer" my son says... "you want a sweet tea" says the server "no not a sweet tea" *server stares blankly* "ok how about a coke?" Server brought a sweet tea. Ordered a combo and got a taco WITHOUT a shell. Finally got a real taco with a shell. The meat has the texture of baby diareah. I left my food on the table. Paid and left. This place is a disgusting joke and if you know what real Mexican food is, just DON'T come here. If you're seriously still considering eating here after reading this, burn a twenty and eat some dog crap... unless of course, you like the sweet tea. Because clearly they're REALLY into sweet tea. read more

I'm always happy with my service and food here. Everyone is super nice, the menu has a lot to choose from. The chips are always fresh. I go often and will continue to to so. read more

Good Food, Good Prices. Cheap Margaritas. Recommendations to Restaurant. Your complimentary cheese and bean dip, in my opinion is undesirable. Beans ok, watery white cheese that congeals no. I like rice and beans with my entree, not rice or beans, it's not rocket science. Tone down the sugar on the Margarita mix. read more

This restaurant is THE restaurant to go to in Sparta TN (not that there are many non-fast food restaurants to chose from). The food is delicious, and the owners and staff are friendly and accommodating in a way that goes above and beyond! To be honest, the only criticism I have are that the mixed drinks are meh and on more than one occasion, we received a glass with a crack. Still deserving of a 5-star rating. Highly recommend!! read more

We like this local restaurant, but our last experience was not so good. The fish tacos I ordered were absolutely tasteless. The 'green sauce' was bland. The fish was way overcooked. I'm a big fan of bring your kids to work if you have to, but don't put customers in the booth adjacent to them playing a movie (loudly) on their iPads. I'm sure we will go back, but I'm going to have to find something better than fish taco to order. And the waitress that licked her fingers after wiping the dripped bean and cheese dip from the side of the bowl... that's just gross. read more

First trip to New location. Salsa and chips came out quick. Think they didn't know who suppose to wait on me, had to wait to place drink order but wasn't that long. Food was good and service was good after I order. Recommend this place. read more

Had some great food here. Loved the chips & salsa and the fact that they give you a free little bowl of cheese dip mixed with refried beans too. The shrimp cocktail was great! After the meal they also brought a complimentary strawberry cream popsicle that was delicious! Service was wonderful and speedy during lunch, even with a large crowd. Go check them out!!! read more

This place is just hit and miss with the service and the quality of food. They need to amp up the flavors and figure out what guacamole really is (it's not just crushed avocado btw) they do have specials and the bar is pretty good but really they can do better with service and food read more

My husband ran here the other day to grab lunch for our family of three. Well, I was very surprised at the price! I am feeding a thirteen year old growing boy and two adults and it cost just over twenty dollars! The food had such a fresh authentic taste to it. It wasn't that generic flavor you pretty much get at any mexican restaurant. It really felt like I was in someone's home who knew how to prepare real mexican style meals not the tex-mex but the real deal. Do yourself and your wallet a favor, treat your family to this place. Oh so worth it! read more

I understand that nobody wants to work and everyone is short staffed but we just waited 40 minutes for our order that was never started. This is the second Sparta restaurant that we never received our order and there aren't many options here in Sparta to begin with. So disappointed. read more

The food is amazing. It's cheap. You get a huge plate. And it's always good never eat anything bad there.

Good margaritas, chips and salsa and the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had. You won't be disappointed here with anything.

Riding through town and asking a local where to go for lunch. With no hesitation they said Mason San Pedro. Fresh salsa, great Pollo Mexicano AND Calf Killer's amazing beer on tap! Yep, I'm happy with their suggestion. Friendly service, that was kind enough to run out with my to go box I left behind. If you're in Sparta you need to drop in and say Hola! read more

El Mason San Pedro was a pleasant surprise. My family of seven was in town for 3 days, and we really enjoyed our meal here. The service was very good. The four girls who run the place ;-) were very sweet. The salsa was one of our favorite restaurant salsas. Portions were really good. My chimi trio was very good. The pico on top was outstanding. The beans and rice for my side did not match the chimis. They were bland and could have used a little love...and some heat. My wife's fajitas were pleasing. I would likely make this place a staple if I lived in Sparta. read more

Meson San Pedro Mexican Restaurant - Chimi trio. Chicken/Steak/Shrimp - Mexican Near Me - Sparta, Tennessee

We have been to this restaurant 2 or 3 times a month over the past couple of years. With the move down the street to the bigger location it seemed like it took them a little while to get things straight now so the right food came to the right tables. We went last night and we were all shocked to see that none of us got guacamole with our meal. Come to find out they updated their menu and the server told us it now says guacamole is an adder. It's $3 to add guacamole to your meal. The beer and Margarita prices have gone up a fair amount. The price for fajitas has gone up and the portion size is now smaller. They are typically very busy on a Friday night but last night it was slow. I guess the word is getting out that your total meal is gonna be 20 to 30% higher now. We're gonna try a couple of other Mexican restaurants in the area on Friday nights for a few weeks and then maybe go back and see if they figured some things out. read more

This was the best Mexican food I've ever had and my entire family agreed. We were passing through and stopped here and all had incredible meals. We all got different things (fajitas, Hawaiian chicken, and tacos). Plus we really liked the chips and salsa + queso (never seen this as free option). It was so good we ate there a second time which we rarely do when travelling as we try to pick different local places each time. Very highly recommended. read more

Complimentary chips and salsa is good. Overall food quality is nice at very reasonable price.

My family and I stopped in Tennessee as part of our road trip. Many of the restaurants were closed, as it was 4 pm, and we decided to find the closest and most practical place to eat. Meson San Pedro, at first glance, seemed like a very hole-in-the-wall restaurant on the side of a busy highway. However, when we entered the restaurant we were overwhelmed by an array of Mexican culture and scents. The food here was delicious, fresh, and exuded Mexican pride, as it is owned by a Mexican family. The menu provides a variety of options, as well as free refills (my favorite part). I also loved the complimentary bean dip, which I have never seen in my hometown of NYC. Overall, I strongly recommend coming to this restaurant if you are looking to find true Mexican food or simply a quality place to eat. 5/5, highly recommend! read more

Absolute most horrific customer service! Never put in my food order. Rude, and ignored us. Dirty

Our server never came back after taking our order. Our food came out wrong. We never got a ticket. When we came inside, our waitress was just standing against the wall doing nothing. When we told the guy about it, he didn't seem very concerned. read more

Food is decent for the price depending on what you get! Some of the food is pricey, but it's good quality! Their frozen strawberry margarita is so amazing! Thursday's is 2/1 margaritas!! read more

Best Mexican Restaurant in town, hands down. Food is fresh, prepared and served with pride. Not a fancy place, kind of "outta the way", but well worth it. I usually have the Chiles Rellenos which is served with re-fried beans and rice; excellent. Big-Ass margarita to accompany it. Highly recommend. read more
