So, Meson is another one of those places that has been around FOREVER, but people tend to forget. It's been the place for many a baby shower, family meal and general celebration. Meson is always consistent, reasonably priced, and delightfully old school.
Not only is it a great place to be (service is solid, and the dark wood walls are nostalgic), but the food's as great for takeout as it is in-house. Every time my family wants to have a gathering but wants to avoid the crazy amounts of cooking, I order up a couple of trays of their excellent, traditional and (here's that word again) CONSISTENTLY great paella Valenciana (with lobster, of course). Not only does the paella rock every single time, but they include salad (a simple green salad, but welcomed nonetheless) with a tasty house dressing, bread, and thinly sliced fried potatoes (thicker than a standard chip, but definitely not fry thickness). Deliciousness PLUS value? I'm sold.
Just last night, in fact the Mister and I were craving some of their paella. I called in an order (plus an appetizer sized order of mejillones en salsa verde – mussels in green sauce), and was told that we'd be ready to roll in minutes. Sure enough, everything was hot and fresh upon my arrival.
There was nothing appetizer-sized about the mussels — this was literally a huge tray of these bad boys! In fact, the tray was the same size as the tray of paella! The best part? The fact that the mussels, paella, salad, bread and potatoes all cost only $33 bucks and left us with leftovers even after both of us (who, admittedly, were starving pre-meal) were done. SCORE.
I'm going to reserve the possible 5th star for a dine-in experience… but for now, a VERY hearty 4 stars to the fine folks at Meson.
This is a serious staple in the community. I grew up with my dad being a waiter here for a few years and then us turning into permanent patrons. It serves solid Spanish food like paella, seafood, chorizo, and of course some delicious sangria. My favorite are the shrimp in garlic sauce and the seafood paella.
Most weekends you will find this place crowded with regulars from the community, or even a baby shower/wedding. The prices are what a regular Spanish restaurant is, so if you are used to cheap meals from other places like the Cuban or Colombian places nearby expect to pay a little more, but the quailty is excellent.
Some of the servers here have been working at this place since 1980s and really know their stuff. It has a classy ambiance (but old school) and is great for a date place or just a nice Sunday Lunch. They do offer parking, but it is very limited so be prepared.
