El Meson Espanol - Pereira

Not sure where all high reviews come from. This is a common and garden dining, no frying and no pretensions. The food is made for Spanish cuisine, as the US Chinese is taking away to Mandarin cooking - i.e. a kind of exported version to satisfy local taste and prejudices. In other words, it could have paella, but it is not terrible español. And her idea of a chap would cause nationwide protests in Spain. Service was a bit rough, but efficient. Next time in Pereira.

Wanted to try this famous restaurant in Pereira grilled octopus was delicious and well prepared, but the paella was not exceptional and the steaks we ordered were underused, although we explicitly wanted one of the items well made - it had to back service... was slow and also lacked

We have been to this restaurant a few times and the food is always excellent. The restaurant itself is huge and has plenty of open air seating. It is a great place to go with a huge party. The parking is sufficient. The workers are...friendly and the process are not expensive. I recommend going and I know I will be back.

We went just for tapas and ended up sharing a really good meat paella, although saffron was nowhere to be felt. The cocktails were also all excellent: mojito, martini and margarita.
