Review Summary

Mesón earns praise for attentive service and a warm, convivial atmosphere that can feel quaint and intimate or lively depending on the night. The tapas and brunch scenes are lauded for flavor and shareability, with standout items such as pulpo a la gallega, secreto iberico, gravlax, saumon mariné, croquetas, and paella, though the paella is sometimes too salty or not up to par. Desserts divide opinions, with the Basque cheesecake disappointing some while the éclair is a recommended finish. Prices are viewed as reasonable for the overall quality by many, yet some feel value is uneven and portions or quality have fluctuated as prices rise. Service is described as impeccable and attentive in many visits, but a few experiences note colder or rushed service and changes in atmosphere. Music can be loud, occasionally affecting conversation. Overall Mesón is seen as a solid neighbourhood spot for gatherings with friends or family, offering good food, strong drinks, and a welcoming vibe, with some variability in dishes and consistency across visits.

The place for Sunday brunch with a Spanish twist. Gravlax & pan con tomato are delicious. Service is top notch & the ambiance is always warm & cosy.

Sleek looking restaurant - food is Spanish style, the plates are all shareable - everything was flavourful - if a tad salty. The paella was excellent. Get the churros, served warm. Strong cocktails, good wine list. Very reasonable prices.

A tapas place in a residential area. A casual restaurant gives an impeccable service compared to a fancy fine-dining one.
We were a bit clumsy with the Spanish menu, the passionate young Elaina patiently helped us to demystify every section on the menu. Then she has suggested three choices from the Platitos Frios, three from the Platitos Calientes & one from the Platos to share as tapas, also a bio white wine to pair with. The tapas was served two by two, plates, forks & knifes were changed after every serving. The delectable paella was served at the end.

The best flank steak I've had in a long time. Delicious apps & great Spanish wine selection. The owner is present, waiting tables & running food orders. A great restaurant!

Amazing neighborhood restaurant..with strong Spanish influences/ flavours. Great place for a cocktail or shareable tapas ... the food is utterly delicious & the filtered night time vibe, at the bar, is just perfect.

Excellent brunch for typical Spanish food. Generous portions & quick service. Make reservations as it's quite busy on Sundays.

The food was soggy... (that's not a compliment) We ordered some calamares bravas it tasted like it had just sit in the kitchen for 30 min in the sauce. Also tried the Paella... same issue. What makes a Paella great is the little overcook underneath. We also tried the churros & well this time they were way overcooked. In general, this restaurant should not consider itself "spanish" or "spanish inspired" its a real shame.
