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.

Quaint environment. Guacamole & cactus salad were excellent. Enchilada had a bit too much sauce & could be baked more. It wasn't very hot. Overall, a nice place.

Le personnel est très gentil mais le service est slow. 45 minutes pour la bouffe & personne est venue nous voir pendant qu'on mangeait pour assurer que tout était correct..un autre 20minutes avant qu'on pouvait avoir la facture. Malgré tout ça, l'ambiance & la nourriture vaut la peine & les margaritas sont excellents. Samedi soir n'est peut-être pas le meilleur choix

Everything was awesome - ambience-food & staff. The only disappointment was the margarita. Way too sweet- I was so looking forward to a good margarita Will go back again & I will request a magarita with less sugar & more tequila 😊.
