El Meson

5.0

In my opinion, El Meson is the best Mexican restaurant in Canada,full stop. It's the kind of place that deserves recognition in the Michelin Guide. Despite being a small, family-run restaurant, the level of quality, care, & authenticity in the food is exceptional.

I regularly travel from Toronto & make it a point to stop here every single time, whether for lunch or dinner. I was first introduced to El Meson by a friend whose mother lives nearby, & since then, it has become a must-visit.

What truly sets this place apart are the sauces they are absolutely outstanding. Each one is layered, rich, & clearly made with deep knowledge of traditional Mexican flavors. You can taste the craftsmanship in every bite.

I would 100% recommend everything on the menu, but my personal favourite has to be the enchiladas with the house mole sauce absolutely incredible.

The service is equally memorable. There is a lady server who is always there unfortunately, I never caught her name but she consistently elevates the entire experience. She is warm, attentive, & genuinely kind, & she has a way of making everyone feel welcome & taken care of.

El Meson is more than just a restaurant it's an experience. If you're serious about authentic Mexican cuisine, this place is not optional.

This has always been one of my favorite restaurants as it is small, cozy & intimate along with an outdoor terasse. The owner offers authentic Mexican food & it is way better than those mexican americanized competitors. Great lime marguaritas & fajitas.

One time stop & that's it ... I usually tend to do a satisfactory review to my Mexican fellows , but not this time ... I even had to return a Michelada that tasted very watery , the waiter took it back & they didn't intend to improve it, it was just removed from the bill. Food was ok , but not what I was expecting from reading others reviews & a bit expensive.

One of my favorite Mexican family runned place.
Excellent margaritas. Cheap if u get the 1/2 or cheaper for the full pitcher. Most expensive dish is seafood plate. Excellent. Best ceviche ever (Red snapper). Average guacamole. 3 liete cake is awesome. The even make some extra dishes that are not on the menu (chicken casadilla, great.) Cosy terrace. You will be satisfied.
Best to reserve.

Missing vegan options.

We were a group of 10 people & we had some vegans with us. Going to a Mexican restaurant would make sense to be able to find at least few vegan options besides guacamole...
