El Meson Restaurant

Restaurant Review

This mexican restaurant, a BYOB, is a great place to come for Mexican Food, one of the best in Central New Jersey.

They have an excellent selection of Mexican dishes, although the tables are a bit crowded and there is often a wait of 20 minutes at peak times.

Chef/owner Flavio Torres serves up well prepared Tex Mex food with fresh ingredients.

For starters, try the Horseradish-brushed shrimp or the Super nachos.

The recommended entrees are: The Grilled salmon with a sauteed cactus pad and chicken tamale and finished with whole grain honey mustard sauce; The Veal chop topped with eggplant and roasted poblano peppers; The Zucchini boat filled with creamy risotto, grilled chicken tenders, chorizo (spicy Mexican sausage) and topped with a delectable chipotle tomato sauce;

Outdoor dining is available in the summer.

The service is friendly and attentive.
