About

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.

Wow. I was amazed, really not expecting this. We started off with the ceviche, which was great in itself, then had the enchilada with tomato sauce, it was awesome. My wife had the chicken breast with the molle (cacao) sauce & that was also awesome. I also took some of her molle sauce for my vegetables, & that was also great. It was our first time trying the molle sauce & we really loved it. The next time, I'm getting the molle sauce! A big thank you to the waiter who was patient with us, & helped us navigate through the menu. I'm not one to get overexcited with food, but this struck a cord.

L'expérience récente pas été malheureusement a la hauteur de nos attentes

Tout d'abord, nous avons rencontré plusieurs problème: La chaise risqué de me faire tombé , un trou dans le plancher . Malgré le fait de l'avoir indiqué pas de désolé & ou offrir autre place !

Un service rapide mais pas dans le bon sens . Nous avons demander de nous laisser la carte des choix de boissons & oups retiré avant que nous ayons commencé a manger! La facture nous a été présenté alors que nous n'avions pas encore terminé.

Pour terminé le tout la salle de bain , papier de toilette au sol un peu partout pas propre !!

J'espère que le restaurant ferons le nécessaire pour éviter les désagrément.
