El Meson - West Carrollton City

I can't believe this place has no better reviews! the sangria is amazing, the trio dip sampler is amazing (and all vegan), and they have several veg options, including a veggie burger and Korean meat balls. my favorites are the cheekberry dish and the vegetarian sampler with an empanada, yuca, etc. (please specify if they are vegan, so that they leave any milk). it is really delicious and the portions are huge!

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

I've been here for over 20 years as a vegan/vegetarian. The Veg options are today the same as they were 20 years ago. the sweet dishes have always been good, but I have always thought that they should have more of a commitment to serve us more vegan and vegetarian. it is very easy to make vegan versions of many of the traditional Latin dishes. I have given them a pass, but I am now convinced that there must put a pressure on them to increase it a bit. there is absolutely no reason why they are not a separate vegan menu, with appetizers and entrees and not just some pages that are accidentally vegan and three entrees that are actually just next to dishes plated as entrees.

I really loved this restaurant when I first moved to dayton, but quickly tired of the three vegetarian entrees on the menu (a veggie over reis, fajitas, and drilling and rice dried). the atmosphere is fantastic, however, and the beverage menu is excellent.

I have been coming here as a vegan/vegetarian for almost 30 years. The veg options are the same today as they were 30 years ago. The veg dishes have always been good, but I have always thought that they should have more of a commitment to serving us vegans and vegetarians. It is very easy to make vegan versions of many of the traditional latin dishes. I have largely given them a pass on this, but I am now of the belief that there needs to be some pressure put on them to step it up a bit. There is absolutely no reason why they shouldn't have a separate vegan menu, with appetizers and entrees and not just some sides that are accidentally vegan and three entrees that are really just side dishes plated as entrees.
