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.

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

We heard about it from quite a distance & went there. The staff was very kind & attentive & welcomed us. The guacamole that came out first was enough to surprise all five of us as soon as we ate it. It was so delicious!! & we each ordered a different menu & were all satisfied. I want to come back again in a different season.View more

I absosikutly loved this place in every respect. Although small in size, it is big in quality, service, & atmosphere. The best margaritas ever! We were 4 & shared 3 dishes & a starter. The guacamole.was perfect. We had steak straps with cactus 🌵 a very interesting & delicious dish. The shrimp dish was great. Service was extremely warm & very appreciated. All in all a wonderful funky place to come back to & rediscover with their wide choice if Mexican dishes you may have never tried. Definitely give it a try!View more

Ordered guacamole as an appetizer to share with pico de gallo on the side (they will bring you more chips if you run out!), it was fresh & delicious! Had the tacos as the main dish, was very good! Authentic Mexican cuisine, extremely friendly staff & they often checked on us to see how we were liking things. 10/10View more

Quaint environment. Guacamole & cactus salad were excellent. Enchilada had a bit too much sauce & could be baked more. It wasn't very hot. Overall, a nice place.

Food: I tried the guacamole & the queso fundido as apps, & I had the Napolitos con carne as a main. Everything tasted authentic & was very well seasoned. Excellent food. Strangely, my only negative feedback is regarding the nachos served with the guacamole. They seemed packaged & not fresh. But this is minor compared to the taste of everything else.

Environment: small & cozy. Felt like home. We loved it.

Note: we were a group of 9 who got together for a 25-year high school reunion. We want to apologize to the staff & other clients for how loud we probably were. It was such a special night for us & the staff was so polite & courteous with us. Thank you!!!

Excellente ambiance & service dans ce restaurant mexicain authentique à Lachine au bord de l'eau. &, le détail important est que le guacamole, Carne Asada & Daiquiris étaient très bons! Nous sommes allés au restaurant plusieurs fois au cours des années & nous essayons quelque chose de différent à chaque fois. Nous aurions commandé le délicieux gâteau Tres Leches ... mais nous ne pouvions pas manger une autre bouchée. Même le mardi soir, il y avait beaucoup de monde, donc nous étions contents d'avoir fait une réservation.

This was the best Mexican meal I have ever had in Montreal! The chips & guacamole were so yummy, I just couldn't stop! The fajitas & the enchiladas (with green tomato sauce) were extremely flavorful. We will be going back.

The food & atmosphere were great! A very comfortable setting. We had a seafood platter, some guacamole & a few Margarita pitchers. Service was also great & the location down by the water in Old Lachine is perfect for a lovely evening.

Celebrating my daughter's 20th BD & we decided to try El Meson. It was not a disappointment! We shared a pitcher of Sangria which was good. The food also did not disappoint, especially the guacamole, we couldn't get enough of it! We will definitely be back.
