This place is always great. Fast service, friendly servers and excellent food!
Without a doubt the best Mexican Restaurant in Lebanon. The people are always friendly and the food is always fresh. We visit atleast twice a week weather its carryout or eat in its always perfect. Keep up the good work guys.
As I walk in the door I can tell the place brings authentic Mexican vibes, the music sings in your ears and people great you will the most brilliant smiles. There isn’t a single moment that doesn’t make me happy. As time passes I start to feel like I’m in Mexico itself. And then I leave surrounded by this dreadful world again waiting to return here again. They also saved my dog :)
Food was insane — every bite hit hard. The chips were perfectly crunchy, the salsa had flavor and everything else was straight-up delicious. Solid spot, worth coming back to.
This place is amazing!! The food and the people are the best around!!
Fresh, Lovely, Appetizing presentation with large portions. The flaming salt was fun. Our server was attentive!
Always a great spot for great authentic Mexican. Family friendly while also perfect for date night. The portion sizes are big and the drinks are on par as well. Roberto was great!
We’ve been coming here for date night for years and have never had a bad experience. The food is amazing and they’re all so friendly. It can be a little cold in there but definitely a highly recommended spot!
I was seated immediately and my drink order was taken. Frozen margarita for me that was in the top 10 on my list. I frequent Mexican restaurant in every city I travel to specifically for the margaritas. And this place does get a good rating on them. My food came fast and I had no complaints there either. The price with the tip was even very manageable.
El Meson Restaurant is my go-to stop whenever I’m craving Mexican cuisine in Lebanon, IN. It’s one of those places I can always count on. One of my favorite dishes to order is the Arroz con Pollo. Add a little hot sauce to it, and it becomes an absolutely amazing plate packed with flavor. It’s comforting, satisfying, and consistently delicious. Pair it with their chips and salsa, and you’re in for a treat. It’s the perfect combination to kick off the meal. If you’re in Lebanon and looking for a reliable, flavorful Mexican restaurant, this is definitely a spot worth visiting.
