Mesón del Asador

Jerez de la Frontera


This big-and-busy spot is a carnivore's dream that dishes up generous grilled-meat tapas and full meaty spreads ranging from sizzling pork/beef/chicken brochettes to a two-person chuletón de buey (giant beef chop). The solomillo de cerdo (pork tenderloin) in Cabrales or Roquefort sauce comes highly recommended.

There's another branch in El Puerto de Santa María.
