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.

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..

Food was great we ordered too much kids love the take-home. Place was crowded so service was understandably a little slow. Looking forward to going back.

Service attentionné & souriant. Possibilité d'avoir plus épicé à la demande (sauces hors menu). Pour quelqu'un qui fréquente le mexique souvent hors resort, je retrouve la vraie nourriture traditionelle.

les espaces sont étroites. Les tables & chaises de la terrasse ont un grand besoin d 'être remplacées.

We were a party of 6. We sat on the front terrace, which was great since unfortunately the beautiful back patio is closed for some upgrading. We all had appetizers & mains as well as their great margaritas.. It was all greatly enjoyed. The service was impeccable, friendly & welcoming. A great experience at this family run restaurant. .

Margeritas were delicious; food was good but not amazing. I had the vegetarian fajitas. Was expecting there to be toppings (sour cream, salsa, cheese etc.) There wasn't, so just sauteed vegetables & refried beans. Not great for $19. Atmosphere was too noisy. Not their fault because it's a small restaurant but we could not really even have a conversation around our table of 5.

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.

Petit resto typique & très sympatique. La bouffe est savoureuse. Belle petite terrasse à l'avant pour les journées ensoleillées. Avec une Corona, c'est extra!
