El Meson at Hamilton Place

Call Directions Website

A place to relax and enjoy. In early 2009, a second El Meson Restaurante Mexicano opened in Hixson.
(1786)

Many years ago, in the state of Jalisco in Mexico, the land was dotted with farms growing the blue agave plant—the plant crucial for making tequila. There were inns scattered among the farms, inns that had stables, restaurants, bars, and were a place where the workers from the farms would come together, a place where they could be comfortable together. That comfort—that togetherness—was exactly what the Ruiz's were aiming for when they opened El Meson Restaurante Mexicano over twenty years ago at Hamilton Place. The new restaurant is at 248 Northgate Mall Dr., Suite 114 in the Northgate Mall area and seats approximately 250 people. It too, hearkens back to the comfortable atmosphere and family cooking that have made the original such a favorite.

For some guests, El Meson is a regular lunch stop. For others, it is where the family gathers for birthdays, Sunday meals, or dinner after a long week.

Those visits become traditions one table at a time—and many have continued for years at our Hamilton Place restaurant.

We would love to hear yours. What brings you back to El Meson, and what do you usually order when you arrive?

Your answer might help someone planning their first visit.

The name El Meson is connected to the kind of experience the Ruiz family wanted to create.

In Jalisco, Mexico, an “el mesón” was a comfortable gathering place where travelers and local workers could eat, rest, and spend time together. That sense of comfort and togetherness inspired the family when El Meson opened at Hamilton Place more than 20 years ago.

It is more than a name. It represents a table where people can slow down, share a meal, and feel welcome.

Who would you invite to share your table this week?

Every table has an unspoken rule about the first chip.

Some people head straight for the salsa. Others wait for the queso. A few start dipping before everyone has even sat down.

El Meson’s queso dip is smooth, rich, and just a little spicy—the kind of beginning that can turn “I’m only having one” into an empty bowl surprisingly quickly.

Settle this for your table: salsa first or queso first?

There is a certain sound to the start of a meal at El Meson.

The clink of glasses. A basket of chips reaching the table. Salsa being passed around. A sizzling plate arriving from the kitchen. Then the conversation begins.

For more than 20 years, El Meson at Hamilton Place has been a Chattanooga gathering place for meals, celebrations, and time around the table.

Turn up the sound and get ready to feel hungry.
