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.

Staff & service were great, food was fresh & tasty. We had a wonderful meal sipping on refreshing Margaritas. Ambiance is laid back & decor sets the mood. Nice location facing the canal.

Petit resto agréable. Nourriture très bonne. Pas pour un grand groupe. Étions 12.
Un des mets choisis prenait 25,30 minutes de préparation. On devrait être averti de ce fait. Car tous doivent attende pour être servi. Trop serré & difficulté de se déplacer.
Un des mets à peine entamé à été desservi & jeté sans qu'on demande si c'était terminé. Oups!! Pas impressionné.
