El Meson
writes...
This cozy neighborhood eatery offers classic Spanish and Cuban cuisine in a casual atmosphere. El Meson Restaurant is located in the heart of The Village, a quaint, pedestrian-friendly shopping and dinning district, a short distance away from downtown, the museums and the Medical Center. El Meson features an award winning wine list offering the largest selection of Spanish wine in Texas and a temperature-controlled wine cellar housing vintage wines, all modestly priced. The House Specialty, La Paella del Meson, saffron flavored Valencian rice with poultry, meats and seafood, is offered in a variety of ways and is custom prepared to order. The grill features fresh Prime New York Strip, Rib Chop, Beef Tenderloin and fresh Australian Lamb Chops, served with a roasted red pepper - port reduction sauce.

The South American flare and choices are wonderful. However, I can't pull myself away from ordering the Masitas. The pork and garlic are so tasty!

My daughter had an assignment that requirred her to research Cuban food, El Meson was a great experience for her and the wait staff recommended the dishes that would be true to her experience with regard to authentic Cuban cuisine.
Thanks Lupe!

We arrived early but needed to wait on the rest of our party. The wait staff seated us was very accommodating and friendly while we waited. We stayed a long time and we never felt rushed to leave. So many choices on the menu made it great for all our picky eaters. I would like to return and try some other items on the menu.

Three of us all ordered different items and all three were fantastic. Highlights; the red snapper ceviche and crusted pork tenderloin. I want to go back!
