Comments:

We were very pleased with our meal at El Mesón Suizo.  The Mesón Suizo style soup had a delicate flavor that subtly changed when you mixed in the cream & tomato puree that was floating on top.  The beers we tried had very distinctive flavors and were pleasing to the palate.
We will be back real soon to try the Wiener Schnitzel and of course the Rosti
