"my friend and I like to eat. he's a cook, and I'm a total cook. we have agreed el mason for a date in the other night. he was completely satisfied with his tortilla soup (very cooler servier style with the meat and suppe separated and they pour it over them) and he also got the grilled new York steak and began with the classics from Spain. (he was very satisfied with his meal his food seemed as if they had taken time to plan the aromen, I had been the meson favorites sampler and I am very dissatisfied with the 1st amount of food for $19 it is not worth 2. I would have paid $19 for a mini-plate if it were good, but everything left me hanging. the stew was compromised by watery veggies like squash. I am the kind of person who likes veggies like these to be left a bit gross. there are many other sweets to put in a one-pot that are a great type of mushy, but squash is not one of them. the plantains in the sampler were okay, but nothing to them again. the thing that gets me more is that they talk in the menu about how the family el meson goes and travel to discover more Latin American dishes and bring variety into the menu, but as the other commentator said, nothing has changed in 20 years. that tells me that they're enslaving in their menu. that doesn't make me sense. if they are gong to claim that they do it. If they want to highlight the same dishes for 20 years, then their claim to rest would be to fame their loyality. lower line: this is a great restaurant for non-vegans or someone who only has a liquid food (the mojito is good), not good for vegans. the pricing is absolutely ridiculous for the kind of vegan food she presents. updated by previous review on Wednesday, 27 august 2014"
