Famous or not, Meson la Troya I fear has seen better days. We stopped here only because it was next door to our hotel...we could have made a better choice. Meson la Troya is a great place if you value quantity or quality...and if you do then you are going to have a great time here. We found the dishes to be overloaded, overdone and over the hill. A casual perusal of the other diners that evening were evidently having a similar experience as we. The table next to us only sampled a few bites of the four dishes they were brought. Watching their reaction we concluded our impression was not alone. The best item we had was the goat cheese salad but even that felt like it was not much better than factory made. Our grilled asparagus was tough, the migas tasted like they used the lowest quality chorizo they could find and the lomo was so overcooked we gave up chewing two bites in... We did not see anyone finish their plates perhaps because of the large quantities but we suspect because the food was not that good. We at first thought our impression was because of our unfamiliarity of Extremadurean cooking. However, after spending several days in the region we learned good from bad. This was not good. The one saving grace....the postre was great. read more

Meson la Troya - We liked the dessert - Spanish Near Me - Trujillo, CC

The location of this "famous" restaurant is in the beautiful main square of the village. At night it is lit up so gorgeously! Photos line the walls of all the famous Spaniards who have eaten here. You can stand to the bar in the entrance and have a beer (which comes with s free little bite to eat, tapas) If you head tears the back to the tables you will find lots of rooms. This use to be a house, so it's pretty intimate! When you are seated, there are only a few other tables in that room. We had a large group and ordered LOTS of dishes and shared them all. Everything was delicious! I recommend the house wine. It's 2€ and tastes great!! read more
