At El Meson we feel that your event should be as unique as you are. Our planning starts with talking to you. From the location to the decorations, we can help. Instead of us telling you what we can do, we help you with your ideas. From weddings, rehearsals, graduations, birthdays, or even just a great FIESTA!
The quality, service, passion, and commitment is why you have come to us. Our reputation at our restaurant is why you want the BEST ! If you would rather we can also have YOUR event in our new banquet rooms. From meetings to private dinners, we can accommodate.
So, we hear you’re throwing a party. Can we help? We would be delighted to host your party at El Meson or off premise. Your guests will love discovering the flavors of Latin America while enjoying time with friends and family or with colleagues. Thank you so much for considering us.
I know that event planning can get a bit stressful. And, I’m here to change that. I’ll work directly with you to guide the planning and execution of your event.
Call El Meson ask for Bill Castro for your next event! Thank you for your interest.
