" I visited El Meson last night for a dinner date, and it was simply lovely. The ambiance had a cozy yet vibrant feel with colorful decorations all around. We started with queso fundido, which was cheesy perfection. For the main course, I had enchiladas with red sauce; they were bursting with flavor! Our server was attentive but gave us enough space to enjoy our meal. The margaritas were the cherry on top — very refreshing and well-balanced. Will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Meson is definitely a must-try for those looking for authentic Mexican cuisine! The flavors in every dish are reflective of home-cooked meals. My favorite had to be the tamales; they were phenomenal! The service was courteous and efficient, although the place was busy at lunchtime. One complaint was the noise level, as it was hard to hear each other talk. However, I'll be back for those delicious tamales! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stumbled upon El Meson by chance, and wow, what a find! The atmosphere is wonderfully charming, with great Mexican vibes. I'm not usually a fan of mole, but theirs blew me away! Each bite was full of freshness and the right balance of spices. Though there was a waiting time for food, it was evident they truly care about the quality of what they serve. A perfect place for those looking for authentic Mexican dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Meson is a colorful little space, full of charm and character. I was here for lunch with my family, and we really enjoyed the vibrant decor and greets from the staff. I ordered the burrito, which was delicious and filling. However, my children were not entirely convinced and thought it was a bit spicy. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant meal overall. Good flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience! El Meson’s staff exudes warmth and charisma, making every guest feel welcomed. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was cozy with a playful touch of Mexican culture. I can’t wait for the opportunity to return and sample more on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, El Meson surprised me in the best way possible. It had been years since I found a place that served authentic Mexican food like this! The guacamole was fresh and absolutely to die for. My friend had the beef fajitas which were explosively delicious, but my chicken tinga was the true winner at our table. The service was a bit slow, but the quality of the food made up for it entirely. A wonderful little restaurant that has me coming back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to try El Meson recently, and I must say, it was an absolute treat! The carne asada was cooked to perfection, and the accompanying cactus dish was both unique and delicious. The vibrant decor of the restaurant really enhances the authentic vibe. I appreciated the attentive service, as our server was always ready to assist without being intrusive. If you're looking for a true Mexican dining experience in Montreal, I highly recommend El Meson! " (*Curated Review*)
