About us

Mr. Victor Lopez and his wife Elena Garcia welcomes you at El Meson! This authentic Mexican restaurant located just across the Lachine Canal, in an old brick house in Old Lachine welcomes you in a warm and friendly atmosphere. It is already several years that this Mexican gem serves its secret family recipes. They started timidly years ago in Dorval for those who remember, and it is through satisfied customers that this Mexican restaurant has made a name for itself and today El Meson ranks among the best Latin restaurants in Montreal.

Don't be fooled! You are here to enjoy and savor the fine foods from Mexico. So forget about other so called Mexican restaurants that offer the same Americanized dishes over and over again. Here you'll taste real delicious Mexican specialties such as Carne Asada, the Nopalitos con carne (Cactus with beef), and many more... Indulge yourself, it is not every day you can travel to Mexico for so little. Everything is a matter of imagination, let yourself be surprised, there are so many flavors to discover...

To enjoy the sunny weather, El Meson offers two pretty terraces (front and back) where you can relax with the magnificent view of the beautiful Lachine Canal, an experience that your eyes will never forget. During the winter, once you step inside El Meson, you will never want to leave.

Nopalitos con carne (Cactus with beef), Pescados Yucatan, Carne Asada, Pechuga con mole, Cazuela Mexicana (Seafood platter)

The food was good, I only removed a star because their water glasses are so small, I had to ask for water several time. I was telling my friend i should have brought my water bottle with meView more

Missing vegan options.

We were a group of 10 people & we had some vegans with us. Going to a Mexican restaurant would make sense to be able to find at least few vegan options besides guacamole...View more

Assez petit comme resto. Rien à dire sur le service impeccable. Cuisine typique mexicaine mais rien pour me faire dire wow sauf la quantité pour le prix. Je dirais que quelques repas ressemble à une entrée mais trop gros pour l'être.2 des 3 desserts sont magiquement bon.View more

Been a customer since 2017. This is a destination every time we travel to Montreal.

2017 - Fantastic little find! Attentive, friendly, tri-lingual staff. Great views of the river & park if you can sit on the terrace. Great portion sizes, priced well. Don't forget the Sangria!

2025 - Sangria is still excellent. The cactus & sausage in the queso was very good, providing a different, lighter taste.

She had the tacos & I had the carne asada. We recommend anything on the menu.View more

Nous avons adoré venir ma blonde & moi. Nous avons été servi par un jeune homme si je ne me trompe il s'appelait Arthuro. Le service était plus que parfait & le temps d'attente pour la nourriture juste parfait. Les drinks autant de type mocktails que cocktails était très bon. C'est un plaisir pour l'estomac & les yeux de venir à chaque fois au El meson 👌View more

food is always beyond amazing! sometimes the service is lacking a little (waiters take a long time to serve you, will sometimes guilt you into tipping) & it can get quite crowded in the restaurant. but el meson is one of my fav places to go for dinner even on a busy night with slow service 😊💗View more

We have been multiple times for their excellent lunch menu. Great value & great food in a cozy setting (can be a little cramped but makes it feel more homey!).
Some very minor service issues. They often bring the food out very fast so as soon as one course is finished, or even before everyone has finished, the next plate arrives. I realise this could be a positive for a lot of people but I like a bit more space. Also one of the waiters called me'lady' for the whole meal. Perhaps a miss-translation but comes across a little rude in English.
But overall excellent, have been three times & will keep going back.View more
