Ended up going here twice, would've gone a 3rd time if I had the chance! Their sandwiches are delicious, the bread is soft & the portions are a good size. They have plenty of options to choose from. Whenever I drove past, they always seemed to have a line but don't worry, the line moves fairly quickly & ordering is easy. Definitely a go-to breakfast/sandwhich spot that I would recommend visiting & trying out!

This is the manager , my food was in the bag already and she did not give it to me.

The manager is horrible. Super disrespectful and is always giving bad looks, has attitude and screams at clients. I ordered food on the drive through and they gave me the wrong order, I asked to be fixed and she started screaming at me. She refused to change and closed the door at me and saying I should have known how to ask the order. She did not want to give me the food and never gave it to me. She has has attitude and has disrespected me previously. Please avoid this fast food in Aguadilla, it's the worst nightmare and the orders are always served incorrectly. When a client tells them the mistake , they get angry. It's a nightmare, save your peace of mind.The name of the manager is Jennifer and this woman doesn't have manners, she treats clients like trash, has getto attitude. I would give lower than a 1 star if I could. Finally, if you don't ask for the food to be done at the moment, it will be cold.

For the stray dogs... no human should eat this... sorry not sorry

Always the best ham n cheese sandwiches.. zorullos work with a cafecito.. everywhere you go, you can find one on the island.

Quesito con cafe

Yum! Exactly what I was looking for. A sandwich and a cafesito. But wow I was overwhelmed by the amount of options (not a bad thing at all). Great menu! The bread was so fresh and soft and my medianoche was tasty, filling...leaving me perfectly content. Their small coffee is tiny. Their large is what is known as a regular or small coffee on the mainland. Large needs to be larger. But other than that I say stop in and grab a bite. Take your time reading the menu. Enjoy

Check Out Our Full Review: https://youtu.be/FuOzEMnpPuo Is This Puerto Rico's Favorite Fast Food Restaurant?????? El Meson is similar to, at least in the United States, an IHOP; it's a familiar spot where most natives (Puerto Rican) enjoy comfort food. Jay was boasting about "El Meson" like a parakeet chirps a storm during the first signs of light - or is a rooster the more appropriate analogy - anyways, she was advertising this place like a car salesman's beat-up car. I know her reasoning behind such attachment; she has emotional association. Her family, specifically, her grandparents who raised her, made it a tradition during her visits to Puerto Rico; they ate there often. El Meson is not spectacular. The food is slightly better than what you'll get at McDonalds - definitely comparable to Denny's & IHOP. But what's extraordinary is the following story: Jay, roughly about two years ago, visited Puerto Rico with her girlfriends. Like tradition dictates, she parakeet'd her girlfriend's ears and convinced them to try "El Meson". Americans take a lot of thing for granted - we have a continuous supply of uncontaminated water, have a food supply chain that never goes uninterrupted, we over indulge even though biologically-speaking we can survive on a significantly low-calorie/low-carbs, and we have ICE COFFEE. All around the world, coffee is traditionally a warm beverage, and it lacks the abundance of sweet additives, such as, 5 packs of sugar (liquid, bleached white, or artificial), whipped cream, and whatever seasonal flavors. Like majority of world, Puerto Rico was no different, and although it's part of the United States, it abides by a different set of cultural norms. So, to end my short ramble (actually it was pretty long): Jay's girlfriend orders an ice coffee and the cashier looks at her like, "what's that?" You'd think that in a hot climate ice coffee would exist, but it didn't. It's not a culturally accepted necessity - an indulgence. To sum up the story: Jay's girlfriend did end up getting her ice coffee, but the process of brewing was quite different; "El Meson" dumped 2 or 3 espresso drinks into a cup, added milk and sugar, and finally, a few ice cubes. "There you go!!!!" and that's how ice coffee in Puerto Rico was invented; at least that's what Jay believes. El Meson is a decent place. It's clean, the food is good (not extraordinary), and the coffee is amazing. If ever in Puerto Rico and want an inexpensive breakfast, stop by "El Meson."

Iced chocolate coffee

Really good service and friendly staff! But my sandwich ham was extremely cold and nasty and the coffee needed more sugar. but its really good

I'm a fan of the Meso-Bistro Sandwich. Try it. Sorullos are sometimes better than other times... This place is the original from the Meson chain brand and is always packed with people.

Richard S.

Tuna sandwich and baked potato with roast beef. A variety of sandwiches, loaded potatoes, supper plates. Another very good eatery in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico worth trying.

The breakfasts are awesome. You can buy with $4 eggs, toast and a coffee. The service is fast in the drive thru.

i've never waited this long for food while being completely ignored by a server. we waited over an…read morehour and the only time our table was acknowledged was when our bread was brought out. meanwhile, we watched larger parties get served before us and even saw people who arrived after us finish their meals. after waiting an hour and 45 minutes, we finally gave up and asked to pay for what little we had -- bottled water, soda, and bread. i understand places can be short staffed, but that should be communicated upfront so customers can decide if they want to stay. as soon as we were paying for what little we got, our food suddenly came out, and it felt like they just expected us to accept it and be happy after all that waiting. when we brought everything up, there was no real effort to make it right, which made the whole experience even more frustrating. overall, it just felt like our time was completely wasted. nunca había esperado tanto por comida mientras el mesero nos ignoraba. esperamos más de una hora y la única vez que se acercaron a nuestra mesa fue para traer el pan. mientras tanto, vimos cómo atendían a mesas más grandes antes que a nosotros e incluso vimos a personas que llegaron después terminar sus comidas. después de esperar una hora y 45 minutos, decidimos rendirnos y pedir la cuenta por lo poco que habíamos recibido: agua embotellada, refresco y pan. entiendo que pueden estar cortos de personal, pero eso debería comunicarse desde el principio para que los clientes decidan si quieren quedarse. justo cuando estábamos pagando por lo poco que recibimos, salió nuestra comida, y parecía que simplemente esperaban que la aceptáramos y estuviéramos contentos después de tanta espera. cuando expresamos nuestra molestia, no hubo ningún esfuerzo real por solucionar la situación, lo que hizo la experiencia aún más frustrante. en general, sentimos que nuestro tiempo fue completamente desperdiciado.

The chef here blew me away night after night with their skill and execution. On an eight day trip,…read morewe chose to eat here for three dinners. Each one was better than the previous with the lobster Thermidor special being an absolute home run! It is the very best Thermidor I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh, cooked perfectly, with a cream sauce that is out of this world. The lobster was so tender. I even got to pick it from an ice chest when I walked in. Just an absolutely amazing dining experience on each occasion with excellence service and pretty much every appetizer on the menu is amazing. I really can't say enough about this gem in Aguadilla. For those who may be curious about their name, that's the island on the eastern horizon. Enjoy!!!

None of the other restaurants, especially in San Juan, did this. Foodwise, it was fantastic. We shared a variety of entrees. Known for their mofongo, we got the La Isla Desecheo ($37), which consisted of Cassava mofongo stuffed with churrasco in a mushrooms, parmesan and bacon sauce. That sauce was delicious, especially when you mixed it with the mofongo. We also got the Pechuga a la Carbonara ($19). This is a chicken breast stuffed with ham and mozzarella, breaded and fried with Carbonara sauce on top. I would compare this to a Chicken Cordon Bleu as it's very similar. Delicious nevertheless. If you're feeling like getting steak, then the Churrasco Z ($33) is for you. This is a Churrasco steak topped with a creamy parmesan cheese sauce, mushrooms, and bacon on top. We ordered this medium rare and they made it to perfection.
