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.

Loved loved loved our dine-in experience at El Meson. It was recommended by my brother & he did not disappoint. The food was delicious & authentic. The drinks were refreshing. Everything tasted amazing from soup to main meals to drinks. Oh, & the servings were generous! I also appreciated that they weren't big on the rice, but more on the proteins & veggies. Would go back!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

Reservations highly recommended - it's super busy. I wouldn't bring a party more than 4, it's tiny & cozy which is its charm. Simple menu with great choices. It's a family-owned business & its mexican family-type food. Don't expect the traditional "touristy" mexican parade of dishes. It's authentic as it gets. No wonder this place has been around for more than 30 years! Gracias por llevarnos en el último minuto, todo estuvo delicioso. Bonus if you speak spanish ;)View more

J'ai demandé un plat rouget grillé, après 45 minutes d'attente il me ramène la dorade!! quand je lui ai demandé pourquoi il m'a dit c'est le poisson le plus proche!! du n'importe quoi!! une autre serveuse m'a dit non c'Est du rouget!! & le cuisiner a dit qu'on a un problème avec l'Approvisionnement. Il doit m'informer avant de le préparer!! c'est la dernière fois dans ce restaurant & je vais le déconseiller à tous mes amis. Service exécrable.

What a wonderful restaurant. Took me completely by surprise. For get about the American Mexican restaurant experience & welcome in the traditional cuisine. Service was friendly from the moment you walk in & the food is homemade... reasonably priced for the quality. Looking forward to my next visit.View more

Had a nice meal tonight but I didn't finish my meal & asked for a box to take it home. They charged $1.25 for the container (which costs about 9 cents) without mentioning anything. I packed the food myself. When I asked about it the man said "the owner makes us do it"...he is the owner. At least just be honest. He then said coldly that prices are going up next week. Not the most reasonable response for a gratuitous charge that isn't mentioned anywhere. Too bad because it was a nice meal otherwise, but the money grab was not appreciated.View more

Our group was seated so tightly some of us couldn't move. Some folks got decent meals but mine was unpleasant. One of our party got up to take a group photo & one of the waiters took away his beer glass even though it was half full. Our main waiter was charming & did his best with our large group. I will never go back to this place again.View more

Everything you expect about a mexican gem: the colors, the coziness, the Latin music in the background, & alovera plants in ceramic plates. Every dish we try is our new favorite.View more
