" I was impressed with the fresh ingredients and authentic taste of El Mesón! It's definitive proof that great Mexican food is alive and well in Austin. The mole verde was flavorful yet comforting without being too heavy. Each dish felt thoughtfully prepared. I would recommend making reservations because they can get busy! The only downside was the service - it was a little slow during peak hours but the food was certainly worth it. Overall, a fantastic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mesón has been my favorite Mexican place for years! The consistency of their fajitas is what keeps me coming back. They are always juicy and flavorful. The staff greets me like family, which is a lovely plus. The buffet on Sundays is incredible—they have a wide array of options that suit everyone's tastes. My only critique is the price; it has gone up a bit lately, but the quality seems to offset this. I would recommend making reservations if you go during busy times! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mesón exceeded my expectations during my recent visit! The flavors were amazing, and every dish we had was rich and satisfying. I was particularly fond of the various salsas they offer. The atmosphere was festive, making it a perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The service was a bit slow at first, but the food made up for it with its quality. This place is definitely worth a try if you're seeking authentic Mexican cuisine in Austin! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves to visit El Mesón! The variety of dishes during their Sunday brunch is fantastic; everyone ends up finding something they enjoy. I usually go for the breakfast items like the huevos rancheros and don't miss the fresh fruit they offer. The atmosphere is vibrant, with beautiful decorations that enhance the dining experience. The service, while generally good, can be rushed at times, especially on busy weekends. Nonetheless, we keep returning because the food is a significant reason why! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! Just wow! I had my first meal at El Mesón not too long ago, and I'm hooked! The tacos were incredibly flavorful and packed full with ingredients.

I can’t recommend it enough. If you're looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience, El Mesón has got you covered. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mesón is truly a gem in South Austin! Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, and the flavors shine through. The brunch buffet has a generous selection, but allow yourself alone time to savor each plate—because the food is beyond satisfying! Knowing that each dish is authentic and made with care makes the experience even more special. I can't rave enough about the quality of the food here. It’s definitely worth the price for the quality and experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to El Mesón for years now, and it has never disappointed me. The enchiladas are consistently good, with the right amount of spice and flavor in the sauce! The only thing I would love to see is more variety on the regular menu. I adore their brunch buffet, but the dinner options could use a bit more flair. The ambiance is always inviting and family-friendly, making it great for gatherings. All in all, a solid choice for anyone craving genuine Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
