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.

i went there for new year night with my boyfriend. the staff were very friendly, the food tasted amazing & overall very pleasing experience. the cappuccino we ordered tasted amazing & had lovely aroma. even though the coffee we ordered was almost at their closing time (around 9.30 pm. we didnt know their closing time) not even for one second they made us feel we have to rush out.

Food is very good, but unfortunately the floor manager has a unacceptable behavior.

We heard about it from quite a distance & went there. The staff was very kind & attentive & welcomed us. The guacamole that came out first was enough to surprise all five of us as soon as we ate it. It was so delicious!! & we each ordered a different menu & were all satisfied. I want to come back again in a different season.
