Make your Mother’s Day plans now!
My family enjoyed an absolutely wonderful Easter buffet at El Meson — delectable Hispanic-fusion food, attentive service, sunny decor, delicioso sangria.
The family-operated restaurant, located on Dixie Drive in West Carrollton (you can’t miss the stucco exterior), is not usually open on Sundays, but they do special holiday offerings.
Our first El Meson outing was on Mother’s Day a few years back, and it made quite an impression. The owner and his wife kept a close eye on the food, almost like preening parents wanting their children to stop the show. I’ll take that kind of personalized service over any chain, any day.
Even the kids have a great time there. It has fishbowls, fountains, frozen fruit drinks (with lids!), an array of sweets and a burrito bar. What’s not to love?
And each mom was given a small orchid corsage — a very thoughtful touch.
On Easter Sunday, we savored seafood empanadas, beef simmered in tomato sauce with yucca, seafood casserole, chicken with artichoke and sun-dried tomato, eggs with zucchini, Jamaican coleslaw and a garlicky potato salad that was so yummy I wanted to scoop some into my purse.
And our waitress could not have been better. It’s the best service we’ve had in the Dayton area.
So, if there are any dads or children reading this, plan now to make your mom’s day on May 11. Reserve a table at El Meson, add a pitcher of sangria to your tab, then let her go home and take a long afternoon nap. She deserves it!
