El Meson

Spanish restaurant · Virginia Court

@infatuation

"While El Meson technically serves Spanish cuisine, the menu covers the gamut: Cuban croquetas filled with minced ham, Mexican enchiladas, and Tex-Mex nachos can all be found under the same roof. The inside of El Meson has the air of a family-run restaurant—it’s common to see waiters shooting the breeze with regulars as they refill water glasses. Or, you may see a few patrons in their golden years splitting paella while sitting underneath paintings of matadors. The small plates at El Meson are the stars, so your best bet is to cozy up with a glass of white wine from Spain and a few tapas like the lamb meatballs. " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
