I've spent years in this town as a college student and after, yet for some reason I've never had…read morethe opportunity to eat here before. So finally after all these years, I came here with my dad. Service was fast and helpful. There are many tables and places to sit. They have a large menu too. I ordered the Beef Chimichangas with all the sides, and my dad had the Chicken Fajitas. Food came out pretty quick. I will say, the portion size is incredible. The price is reasonable depending on the time you come for lunch or dinner, and they give you so much. For me, I love all the sides and some places tend to give a meager amount, but not this place. And they didn't even cheap out on the guacamole amount too. I had some to take home at the end, so I was happy about that. Although the food was decent and plentiful, I will say that it lacked flavor for me. It wasn't amazing in comparison to all the Mexican places I've tried around the area. And also I guess from eating Mexican food in California, I have a high standard. Like I reiterated before, great portion size but a little disappointing regarding the flavor. It felt like it was missing something, maybe a little salt but also something more that I can't put my finger on. I'm not sure if I would come back.

Margarita - great, really took the edge off…read more Food - nothing objectionable but nothing to write home about. Service: read on. The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance, with plenty of room, music, and hand-painted furniture. We were greeted promptly and received our water, chips & salsa, and menus right away. The main problem that we saw here was that the management has decided that they "check all the boxes" for a general level of acceptable service, and as long as the customer accepts this unquestioningly, there's no need to go above or beyond. Stephen Covey advises: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Our server seemed completely unprepared to act as an intermediary between the kitchen and management on one hand, and us (the customers) on the other. When we specified what we wanted, she went away for a long time, then came back, only to be told again what we were asking for. Some examples: Drink menu had no prices. We wanted a breakdown because we knew the drinks were oversized, and wanted to share a margarita. It took a couple of requests to get this. We had to reject the 2 oversized pitchers. Then, Instead of bringing us the oversized pitcher with 2 glasses, it was the oversized pitcher with one glass, so one person was drinking out of the pitcher through a straw, waiting for the other person to be ready for a refill of their glass. Awkward. Fortunately, the margarita was superb and (almost) worth the wait. But having to pour from a pitcher with no spout was messy, and of course we had to request extra napkins to clean up the mess. And of course the napkins took awhile to arrive. Might I add, it was a Thursday night and we were virtually the only patrons in the dining room. A good restaurant does not need to have the customers spell out complaints in a Yelp review. Again referencing Stephen Covey, "Be proactive." Anticipate likely requests such as prices on the menu, customers wanting to share a pitcher of drinks, extra salsa, extra napkins, dietary exceptions such as no beans. Chips & salsa: Come ON! Three adults, a modest bowl of chips, and one thimble-sized souffle cup of salsa? After which, when the entrees came, we had to ask for more? We were asking each other jokingly if there were tariffs on salsa that we hadn't heard about. Ordering directly off the menu with no deviations or substitutions was almost guaranteed to get us what we wanted. Still, the portions were heavy on rice, okay on the main dishes, and positively miserly on sauces, dressings, and condiments...the things that most restaurants provide without having to be asked. One member of our party ordered and very explicitly asked for no beans to be included with the carnitas. Sure enough, wall to wall beans, and my friend sent the whole plate back for de-beaning. Again, someone in charge was apparently thinking "Nonsense! Everybody likes beans. There must be some mistake. We'll just give them beans regardless, and they'll thank us for it." No. Give the customer what they asked for, the first time. All in all, we were hungry, and we were fed. But as per the above, there were problems. And when there are problems, communicated to the server, it's vital that the server come back shortly after delivering the food, to ask how everything is, and if there's anything else that might improve the experience. For example, some sour cream would have been nice on the tacos dorados. But the server stayed far away for the remainder of the meal, so there was no opportunity to requvisits. Tellingly, no other senior waitstaff or managers came by to inquire as to our level of satisfaction. They just didn't seem to care. El Meson has occupied their prime site in Chattanooga for many years and can be an enjoyable place to gather. But for smaller parties who know what they want, this restaurant needs to work harder and smarter to earn their respect and return vidits.

We made it just before closing, but the staff still welcomed us right away (big win in my book). I ordered an al pastor torta with a Jamaica, and it was amazing.

Great spot, and I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area!

To start the waitress actress like she was doing me a favor by waiting on me. I asked her for a water while I decide on what I'd like to eat. She stomped off without even acknowledging what I'd asked for. Maybe it was a language barrier issue, but at least try to acknowledge or ask for clarification. I ordered a taco and a steak burrito. The taco was dropped at the table with not a word said. I asked if they have chips and salsa as she stormed away after literally dropping the taco in the table and she mumbled no without really even looking back. Pretty sure this place is family owned and operated, so she must be family. If not, they should reconsider who they hire. The taco was about the size of my thumb. I almost thought it was a practical joke. It didn't really have any flavor, but the chicken was tender at least. I ate the taco in two bites. Next the steak burrito came and was also literally dropped on the table and the waitress rushed away again with to out a word. I had to stop her again to ask for the water I ordered before my meal. Now that I think about it, it wasn't a communication issue. She had now dropped a taco in the table then a few minutes later dropped a burrito on the table and I still hadn't been served a drink. She just didn't care to be bothered. Now to the steak burrito. Good size but the steak was so burnt that it was hard and crunchy. Pretty much like beef jerky but with a crunch. And the burrito was dripping with grease. Here's pics of both, so it's clear there's no exaggeration here. Like I said, maybe a bad night, or maybe their friends just post reviews for them. Regardless, I definitely won't be back and certainly couldn't recommend this place to anyone else, either. Pastor TacosSteak Quesadilla
