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.

Went for lunch. The menu had good choices, not too expensive. I took the chicken tacos with a tortilla soup & coffee.
The soup was alright but not great & the 2 chicken tacos were served with a small portion of refried beans, rice & some salsa. Everything was bland, nothing really tasty. It lacked chillies, fresh coriander, fresh lemon & some onions.
Even their coffee was so so.
The service was very friendly though.View more

Super bons plats copieux servis par des gens adorables. Le poulet était très tendre. Genereux en sauce. Les tables en terrasse sont l’idéal, avec vue sur l’eau au loin. L’intérieur est un peu sombre. Pas beaucoup de plats végétariens, par contre.View more

Première visite mais pas la dernière... Le rouget & ses accompagnements & la fondue étaient super délicieux. Le service était aussi des plus exceptionnels... beaucoup d'attention & de politesse... BRAVO au El Meson. À recommander à ceux qui aiment les mets typiquement mexicains. Nous reviendrons!!

El Meson is an amazing Mexican cuisine restaurant. We simply LOVE the homey feel of the place, the great terrace view during the summer season &, most importantly, the food. What can we say but, DELICIOUS!! Having lived in Mexico for 7 years, the food was a great reminder of how much we miss living there, & how much we enjoy the wonderful authentic cuisine of Mexico. El Meson should definitely be on your list of great authentic Mexican dining. & the drinks are super as well. Great food, amazing service by friendly staff & a comfy-cozy place to relax & enjoy yourself. Muchas Graicias! Petersito

Le personnel est vraiment très sympathique. Malgré un fort achalandage, le service était rapide. Nous avons pris la casserole de poisson & fruits de mer. Un pur délice ! Je recommande ce restaurant familial.
