Amazing! Have wanted to go to El Meson for a long time. We finally made it on this quiet Wednesday night. Dulce our server (owner) was sweet as her name implies. We had the platter for two, skirt steak, tender and so much flavor. The coconut shrimp and dipping sauce, yum. All the accompaniments were fresh and great also. We will indeed be back. The best restaurant in Rocky Point! Thank you for your great hospitality!!

Hubby and I visited on a Saturday. We saw positive Yelp reviews and were excited to try this place. Weren’t sure if we had the right spot at first, because it looks like a house, but posters confirmed the location. Note: Google Maps points you to the opposite side of the street. We were the first guests of the day and we had a FANTASTIC meal of tacos—a tremendous and beautifully presented platter of steak, garlic fish, and coconut breaded shrimp. Sides included cilantro sauce-covered macaroni and white rice, grilled asparagus, zucchini, and jalapeño pepper, cucumber, radish, pico, lime wedges, grilled onion, tajin-sprinkled orange slices, a dark red spicy salsa, and a green milder salsa. Both flour and corn tortillas were hot and fresh. I was literally overwhelmed with the presentation. I didn’t know where to start eating! Coconut shrimp was perfectly fried (crunchy coconut breading, but shrimp were still soft) and served with a sweet sauce that complimented beautifully. Fish was flounder, fresh, tender and flaky, without the garlic overwhelming the flavor of the fish. Skirt steak was well-grilled, drizzled with a green cilantro sauce, in perfect bite sized pieces for tacos. Everything was well seasoned and flavors layered to perfection. Alas, we had to stop eating at some point! We barely finished all that food. Service was by Dulce, very friendly and accommodating for us non-Spanish speakers. Thank you, El Mesón, for the best meal we have had for this visit to Puerto Peñasco. We can’t wait to return with our family! 🤗🥰⭐️ Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $400–500 Recommended dishes Shrimp & Skirt Steak Platter with Garlic Fish and Grilled Chicken

Sweet family and our favorite place to eat. The food is SO good! Sometimes we just get the amazing guacamole and side dishes like grilled asparagus, zucchini, and "fish basket" which was delicious! The larger 'grills' and platters are also fantastic and we never leave there hungry! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Best food in Peñasco! We've been in Peñasco for a week and have found the food underwhelming overall. After searching through all the reviews on Google, this restaurant had the best overall reviews AND totally delivered. We ordered the garlic shrimp and skirt steak (arrachera) platillos, fresh lemonade made with club soda (agua mineral), and chocolate flan. Everything was delicious and perfectly plated.

We were huge fans of the skirt steak and garlic shrimp. We have zero negatives to say. 6 adults at 1 table, 6 kids at another, brought our own 6 pack of beer and everyone loved the experience. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
