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 with my girlfriend for dinner, I got the half chicken & it was great. I eat chicken all the time but this one was extremely good & it was tender & juicy. Rice paired well & the veggies were plenty & tasty. My gf got the beef tortillas & she liked it as well.

Great experience! We went in for dinner on a Thursday. We reserved, which was a good thing since it got pretty busy. We didn't have any fish, but we had a mixture of chicken & vegetarian dishes which were all very good. The service was also really great, both waiters were super friendly. I strongly recommend this restaurant for any occasion. It's definitely worth it.

If you want to feel like you're in a taqueria in Mexico, this is it. Always happy to eat there. Love the nopalitos con carne with cactus pieces. Apparently the ceviche is great also. It can be sometimes crowded so when we don't have too much time, we take it to go. Unfortunately they closed the Chateauguay location.
