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.

Celebrating my daughter's 20th BD & we decided to try El Meson. It was not a disappointment! We shared a pitcher of Sangria which was good. The food also did not disappoint, especially the guacamole, we couldn't get enough of it! We will definitely be back.

Petit resto typique & très sympatique. La bouffe est savoureuse. Belle petite terrasse à l'avant pour les journées ensoleillées. Avec une Corona, c'est extra!

Très bon resto dans la tradition Mexicaine.... sauf que le proprio est trop 'cheap' pour offrir quelques chips & salsa à l'apéro. Je suis 'cheap' pour le noter ici, mais je crois que le patron l'est plus que moi & personne ne lui a encore dit.

Certains noms de plats se ressemblent sur le menu, ce qui fait que nous avons commandé un plat mais reçu l'autre, parce que nous l'avons sûrement mal prononcé ou inversé les termes. ( Genre Carne Asado..au lieu de Asada. ou encore Asada de Carnero en pensant que tu commande Carne Asada)

1. CARNE ASADA
2. ASADO DE CARNERO

C'était quand même bon, mais quand tu t'attend a recevoir un plat & en recoit un autre, en te disant que c'est sûrement de ta faute l'erreur....c'est un peu décevant.
