El Meson

It's not everyday you stumble into a local Mexican joint where the meat is THIS tender. Tip of the cap to El Meson for a wonderful experience. Combination Fajitas Jalapeños Rellenos: The best starter!

Service was the best we have experienced at any restaurant. Food was amazing!! Would give 10 stars if I could. Staff was professional, knowledgeable, and curtious. They came by the table very often to make sure our drinks were refilled and asked how everything was. We met the owner and all of the staff throughout the meal. Don't miss this gem of a restaurant that has been there for 20+ years.

El Mesón has the best and only really authentic Mexican in Highlands Ranch. In the past service was spotty but now with new ownership it has really turned around. The Mole is an authentic family recipe. The salsa is so fresh, wonderfully spicy, and just perfect every time. Margaritas can’t be beat. If you want a really authentic experience this is the place. We are so happy we came back this week and got to meet the new owner who is just amazing. We will be back!

If I could give this place a half a star, I would. My husband and I came here for dinner and both of us had the grilled chicken street tacos. They were horrific. The chicken smelled and tasted like it was weeks old. The chicken had absolutely no seasoning - it was just terrible. My husband ordered the original margarita - the large size. From the taste - It was clearly watered down. To top it off, the service was slow and non responsive and the meals were way over priced. We will NEVER be back. I can’t believe this place stays in business.
