Honestly, I couldn't find anything wrong with this place. Right from the start, it was good, starting with the parking. Huge open lot, not too crowded for a Friday night, no silly valet parking. The decor seems a little outdated but who's there to stare at the decor, let's eat!
Sat down and knew exactly what I wanted. Paella valenciana FTW. For 21 bucks, it's a hell of a deal. Comes with a choice of soup or salad. Had some house wine on the side for 6 dollars a glass, not too shabby. The paella was amazing. It came out in a giant hot pot and had all the essentials you would find in a paella. The rice was cooked perfectly and blended well with all the seafood flavors. M'lady ordered the skirt steak and it was amazing. Probably the most tender skirt steak I've had in this area. Also came with soup or salad and also a side of rice and some veggies. Then for dessert, had a slice of cheesecake to share and it really hit the spot. Couldn't even finish it, we were so full, got it to go haha
The best part was, they had a few birthdays at the restaurant and a waiter sings the happy birthday song in a full on opera style voice. NO JOKE. Say it's your bday next time and hope that waiter's there. Their service overall was fantastic. Everything came out way faster than expected, waiters were courteous and helpful.
All in all, a great place for date night or just casual dining! Oh, one last thing: they still use carbon copy receipts, which I thought was awesome, 'cause I didn't have to write down what I tipped twice! 😛
Came by for Mothers Day with la familia and although we enjoyed our visit I don't think I am the biggest fan of this restaurant. Let's starts with the hostess with NOT the mostest! Gurl, take a chill pill because you were rude. We came in no reservation with the intention that we would wait, no problemo on our end, but she was about to have a meltdown. Honestly, I was so applauded by her attitude that she may be the very reason I may never come back. She started huffing and puffing because we didn't have reservations and saying they had many tables coming in. Umm, girl, we get it, we are OKAY with waiting, but what was not okay was the way you treat customers.
Secondly, we went to sit at the bar to grab a drink as we waited for our table and the bartender must have walked by us 5 times and NOT ONCE did he acknowledge us. WTF, we are here to spend money and you aren't even going to look to see if we wanted a drink! Get it together.
Someone came soon after to tell us our table was ready; which great our wait was actually less than we were told. We sat at a table in the corner by the window which we were happy about because we wanted to be away from noise. They had their Mother Days menu which seemed to have been priced a decently higher price but I get it its Mothers Day. Our waiter seemed like Mr. No Personality, but by the end we had him crack a smile. We had order two appetizers, one of them came out the wrong order, but we weren't upset about it the chorizo looked good and we were fine with that. The pitchers of sangria that we ordered were a bit on the weak side. We ordered two and I didn't even have a buzz. Our food in general was pretty good, I ordered the skirt steak medium rare and it came out a little more cooked than I had wished. Stepdad order the chicken in garlic sauce which seemed pretty small. Mom and sis shared the Lobster paella and it looked and tasted great.
Overall an okay experience. It was mama's choice so as long as she was happy that's all that matter. I don't think I would ever choose to come here again. Some rude staff, not the best dining experience for the amount of money one is paying. I would rather spend that money somewhere else.
A lot of people seem to come here for the steak and lobster combo deal on Monday and Tuesday's but it's nothing too special. What I really enjoyed was the paella (the restaurants original seafood one? Sorry forgot the name. Valencia I think). It came in a pretty big pot loaded with seafood and juicy chicken. My boyfriend got the skirt steak with jumbo shrimp–again, it was nothing special but I definitely recommend the paella!
If you are looking for a place to get a 4lb steak and 3lb lobster go to Meson Madrid! I have never seen portions so big and delicious anywhere else! The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are sooo friendly!
I came here late at night and ordered the 3-lb steak and their paella valenciana. The steak was good. Can't complain there. $35
The paella was disappointing. The seafood sat on top of the rice and wasn't melded into the rice. It lacked flavor and tasted like they just threw some boiled seafood on top of already cooked yellow rice. And the worst part about it was that the whole thing tasted luke warm at best. In fact, I would say that the rice was on the cold side and most likely not up to health department codes for temperature of hot foods.
I remembered the paella being much bigger and much better tasting than the one we got this time. $20
We also ordered their large pitcher of sangria which was pretty good. $25
Prices above are approximate.
I would go back again for the steak but I probably won't be ordering their paella again.
Very nice Spanish restaurant, if you are looking for a nice date night or birthday, this is a good place to come. For appetizers we got shrimp and sausage. The shrimp was in a light garlic sauce, cooked perfectly, but a little bland. The sausage were delicious, nice snap to them with a surprising kick. They were served over amazing mashed potatoes, that I could have eaten my weight in. My meal came with a soup or salad, I got the bean soup. Creamy, earthy, and hints of smoky from the bacon, very good.
I normally get steamed lobster, but I went with the broiled this time for my main course. The lobster was cooked perfectly, not too chewy, but not tough either. The broiled lobster is filled with a mix of bread crumbs, that were a little soggy, but they were buttery and sweet and complimented the lobster well.
It was my dads birthday so we went to celebrate his 60th. Our waiter sang Happy Birthday "MR WONDERFUL" in opera and it was amazing!! Fun night.
Consistently delicious every time. I have never had a bad meal here and the customer appreciation deals are great! Service is always great, staff is very attentive and kind. Paella and skirt steak are wonderful!
Came here last Friday after reading Jae L's review, since Paella and Skirt Steaks are 2 of my favorite food in the world, there is no reason that I should pass this restaurant.
I was not disappointed at these 2 dishes at all indeed, the portions are large, and they are also very delicious. The amount of seafood they put in the paella are very generous, the seafood are also very fresh, too.
We also ordered grilled octopus with mesh potatoes as appetizer, the octopus is tender and delicious, but I don't really think the mesh potatoes match the octopus that well. Also, the dish served in lukewarm temperature that I don't really like. I will not recommend this dish .
I really think the dining area needs some major updates, it looks dated, the ceiling is really low, and the central air is very loud. Every time while AC started to run, our conversation would just stop because it was really loud.
