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.

A quaint place & the food is excellent however don't be in a hurry as it can take some time to get served. I have went to this restaurant many times & I have never been disappointed.

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.

Les tables (espace un peu restreint) sont petites mais l'endroit est chaleureux!!
C'est évidemment une vielle maison de l'epoque transformé donc cela donne un certain cachet à l'ambiance.

service moyen, ayant choisi le fajita, on ne m'a pas offert la crème sûre & salsa... j'ai eu à me lever au comptoir & en faire la demande, même si c'est un extra j'aurais aimé qu'on me le dise avant d'apportez mon assiette. On est jamais revenu remplir mon mini verre d'eau. Au dessert j'ai du demander des napkins propres. Rien de majeur, mais quand on fait l'addition des faux pas, ca laisse un goût amer malgré la bonne bouffe..
