El Meson - Montreal, Quebec

We were looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant while a quaint atmosphere. We got exactly that!! So good!! We were 2 couples and ironically we each ordered the same two dishes., Chicken Tacos and the Carne Asada (?)- Steak and Cactis! The Steak and Catcus I had no choice as a ... friend had said" You have To Try It!" And no regrets, the Steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare and the cactus and sauce was delicious. The meal was deceiving large, I managed to eat it all! The tacos were not severed how you know the/open face if you will but rather came closed on top, the ladies loved them! We had several drinks with the meal, Margaritas and a tequila Sunrise, these too were excellent! We even managed to share some desert, a three milk cake and a flan and once again, no regrets! The staff were super attentive and per couple were in for under $100 before tip! The restaurant is a converted house, which adds to the charm, it is cozy but not intimate. If you decide to go, make a reservation to avoid disappointment as there are not that many gables available. Cheers Read more

We first came here over a year ago, second time around, the food was as good and the signature margarita still AMAZING! We had the ceviche that we didn't have the first time and the filete al mojo de ajo, both were very tasty. Shout out to all the waiters ... who were working hard, we were served very well. We'd come back anytime! Read more

Loved loved loved our dine-in experience at El Meson. It was recommended by my brother and he did not disappoint. The food was delicious and authentic. The drinks were refreshing. Everything tasted amazing from soup to main meals to drinks. Oh, and the servings were generous! I also appreciated that ... they weren’t big on the rice, but more on the proteins and veggies. Would go back! Read more

Nice vibe and comfortable place with fun and colorful pieces of decor. Service was really good and the food is really interesting and unique compared to some other places I have been in West Island! Overall great experience, would return again!

In desperate need to book a restaurant at the last minute, I called El Meson and asked to reserve a table for 8 people on that same day. The lady on the phone was super 🌟 She was very understanding and helpful. I was able to reserve for 8 people ... last night for my partner's 26th birthday celebration 🎂 Given that we were 8 people, I thought the food will take time to come in, but our plates started coming in very shortly after we ordered our meals... Everyone in our table had nothing but good things to say about the food. The portions were more than enough!!! Our friends said that the Carne Asada was cooked to perfection 👌🏽 My other friends enjoyed their Beef and Chicken tacos 🌮 My partner liked his Pollo Barbacoa 🍗 My Chicken Fajita was sizzling when it came to our table that one of my friends even commented and said that he also wishes that his food came in with sound effects 🔥 Also, their secret hot sauce was so good that we wanted to buy a whole bottle of it 😆 The service was quite fast, our primary waiter, Señor Roberto, was quite patient with all our requests and was kind enough to help us clean the table when one of our friends accidentally poured his water on the table. All in all, we had AN AMAZING experience at El Meson and hoping to come back soon!!! 🙏🏽 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO ANYONE LOOKING TO TRY AUTHENTIC & DELICIOUS TASTING MEXICAN FOODS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Read more
