El Meson Sandwiches

Este restaurante es perfecto excepto por toda la fila que se forma cuando voy. De alguna manera tienen que hacer la comida mas rapida y prepararla mas rapida. Ademas de eso, este sitio tiene unos sandwhiches deliciosos!

This is a sandwich place with speedy service. Nice little spot the sandwich and fries were fresh and very good. Pretty cheap. Was able to get a sandwich that me and my girlfriend split. 2 cheese pastries and fries for 10 bucks.

The sandwich was fresh. Nice atmosphere they had a fast service. They have other variety of sandwiches. They have variety of drinks including alcohol. I ordered a boricua sandwich, which fulfilled my stomach’s needs. I’m visiting from Florida, I recommend this sandwich to kill your hunger when in town.

How I Loved this place. Awesome coffee and sandwiches. I can go for a Mayorca with ham and cheese right now and a coffee with milk, light. This location can get very busy but their system works. Waiting for food is not as long as it seems. Craving now.

we must get these stores in the 50 states.

the pastrami was AWESOME. crispy pastrami what??? yeah, that’s right. crispy pastrami. like bacon. with sauce. on a big bun. and cheese. and fries.
which weren’t that good, but who’s counting?
VIVA LA EL MESON!!!

The sandwiches here are terrific! Granted, they’re not a healthy choice, but when you’re looking for a quick flavor fix, you won’t be let down by El Mason. I had a cubano, which had some ham and other meats, cheese, mustard, and pickle. The bread was tasty as was the entire warm sandwich.
Recommend!

After having been severely disappointed by Kasalta Bakery (Now a Tourist Trap) I started my search for an inexpensive, good quality «media noche» sandwich and a good cup of Puerto Rican «café con leche» or café latte. On my way to Ponce I stopped at El Meson Sandwiches in the Monte Hiedra Shopping Center and my search was over. I had the BEST cup of Puerto Rican coffee since I arrived at the island. I also had a very good «media noche» sandwich at half the cost of Kasalta Bakery.
Let’s start with the coffee. It was brewed to perfection and the taste was just perfect. The Barista even draw a heart using the foam from the milk. I will attach a picture later. I had plenty of choices of sugars from Sugar in the Raw to multiple types of sugar substitutes. I like very strong coffee and they prepared it that way. It was so strong it stained the sides of the cup. They are very accommodating to the customer. The person in front of me liked it light and they prepared it that way for him. The cost for my «latte» equivalent was $ 1.75. Better and cheeper than Starbucks.
Now about the sandwiches. Their sandwich menu is very extensive and they serve their both their breakfast and regular sandwiches all the time. I had a «media noche» sandwich and it was very good. I made the mistake of asking for extra mustard. I should have stayed with the regular mustard. Still it was fantastic. The ham was sweet and the pork was seasoned to perfection. Can’t complain for $ 4.95.
My daughter had the Mallorca with ham and cheese, one of their breakfast sandwiches. The Mallorca bread was sweet with ham and cheddar cheese toasted and topped with powder sugar. If you are adventurous and like to try local treat, you must try this breakfast sandwich.
Overall the service was fast and friendly. The downside to this place is that it is in the food court of a small shopping mall. I found out, El Meson is a local chain with multiple locations throughout the island (mainly in malls) and at the airport. I am looking forward to my trip home, forget about Subway for an in-​flight meal, I am getting a Cuban Sandwich.
