El Meson

I just had probably one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences. I used to be a regular here and bring/refer quite a bit of people. Food used to be incredible, place used to be welcoming, staff used to be ultra attentive. I dare to say this WAS one of the best Colombian restaurants in Texas. It’s a shame how under the new owners this is nothing more than a MEDIOCRE restaurant that is trying way too hard to be a bar with over-priced food that don’t match the quality of the facilities or the food. Here’s a few highlights:
- Taste is really poor. It’s not even close to Colombian

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a nice dinner last night here . I was very impressed with the presentation of the dishes and the flavors of the food . We had empanadas de carne as an appetizer They were crispy and filled with abundant pieces of meat . I also had a couple of sancocho de gallina , it was absolutely delicious, it reminded me of my grandmas soups . They churrasco was cooked perfectly. I can honestly say that I am happy the new owners are caring on the good sazón they always had .
Congratulations and best luck !! You have a great place !

The food here was amazing. The food was accompanied by great live music. We enjoyed our experience here and would definitely come back again. Highly recommended! Stop by if you are in the area.

I used to come to this please and the food used to be amazing, for my surprise it’s my first time since they are under new management for my surprised they changed the menu a lot, and I ordered Lomo saltado I ordered well done for my surprise they bring me the meat all red, the service was not good at all, the waitress only came twice to the table to take the order and when she brought the food. First and last time under new Managment and last, we will miss the good food they used to have

I used to visit this restaurant very often, but I had to move and it was difficult for me to come again. After a while I came back expecting to find the food so wonderful and that I liked so much before, but I saw that they have a new management, so, I wanted to give it a try. It was a terrible mistake. The service was very slow, the juices tasted like water, the empanadas were smaller, the beans had no flavor, and the meat couldn't be chewed.
I never make a review but the owner needs to know this to correct the mistakes of the new management.

The food is great here and the only thing they could do better at is taking over the phone orders a little better . I ordered some sides and it took me talking to 5 different people. Just to order some sides … if you order via phone make sure you ask what the price is before placing your order. They charged me $4 per chorizo. Other restaurants charge under $4 or give you two chorizos for that price.

Best Colombian Restaurant in the Houston area! ( I have tried them all). Authentic flavors, fresh, amazing lunch menu. The taste of home cooked food.

Everytime I come to this restaurant I order Bandeja Paisa, this time the fam order chicken and beef salad. My Bandeja Paisa was very good, the portions are small, but great taste.

First time having Columbian food. I have to say I was really pleased with the different options and the proportions were bountiful. I only wish I had room to squeeze in some of that tres leches cake, if it was anything like the meal in sure it wouldn't disappoint.

The service and food is outstanding. The portions are very large, so plan on sharing or leftovers. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They easily handled two of our party dietary restrictions. The platans were PERFECT! This just became a new family favorite.
