Some great Mexican food in a chance rest-stop find. Excellent.

I dropped in here on our way home from cottage country - and what a great spot! I was transported to Mexico (have been many times). The food was delicious, service friendly and attentive and the drinks great! Ordered the tortillas and it cam with the creamiest guacamole - our server also brought us an awesome spicy habanero salsa to go with our meal. We then had the combo platter for 2 which included 2 each of the following: burrito, soft taco, quesadilla and tostada. The food was nothing fancy but the flavours, wow, were great. Smoky meats, spicy sauces and fresh ingredients came together in an authentic Mexican meal. Tablecloths were traditional, colourful table toppers and the live music was a nice touch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend La MexiCanada! Excellente! read more

Food is great. Service is pretty slow and a touch rude. Best Mexican around so we deal with the not so friendly service

This restaurant was a great experience with good service, good food and I left with my stomach full. The family all said how they loved it and how they wanted to come again! Also in a really convenient spot for us. We have come to the restaurant maybe 2 or 3 times and each we have been treated great! It's also a great place for celebrations. We could celebrate a birthday, anniversary or anything else. The name is also pretty cool! Might go to the spot again in the coming future, just for a good dinner! 10/10 would recommend coming with family and eating! The meat eaters love the burritos and the meat in general according to them was good too! I don't specifically remember what I had, but it was pretty good. Considering I'm a vegetarian, they must have some vegetarian options, like I said, would recommend! read more

Stopped for a quick bite to eat. Ordered the 5 tacos - 3 chicken, 2 chorizo - really tasty! Service was fast and attentive. Will be back!

Friends of ours (who live in Aurora) have been raving about this place for a good year....trying to get us to drive to their area to try this restaurant. While we love Mexican food, we were a tad hesitant ...well...because....it's in Bradford. What could they possibly know about Mexican food? As it gets very busy, our friends stated we had to make reservations. I thought this was probably because people in Bradford are starved for anything that's not from a McDonalds or Timmies...and that they'd be all over anything out of the norm....but after dining here, its obviously because the food is fantastic. When we arrived, we were asked if we wanted to be seated on the patio or inside. Well...the patio overlooked an unpaved parking lot (not the most spectacular views), which meant that cars entering the lot kicked up a lot of dust, so we opted to sit inside. Our friends commented that they've installed an air-conditioner...which did keep the inside dining room very cool. The décor is cheesy Mexican fare......although I didn't see a piñata. We started with a plate of nacho chips and guacamole. Not a fan of guac...I will admit it was very good and had a nice bite to it. Not sure if the chips are store bought, but they seemed to be. Our friends recommended we have a drink which was basically a margarita (in what appeared to be a small fishbowl) that had an overturned small bottle of Corona in it. Not being that adventurous, I ordered a Diet Coke. I did taste the drink when it arrived and it was very good.....something I'll order on my next visit. Our server was by a little while later and we placed our order. Both couples (there were the 4 of us) decided on 2 dinner platters (each feeds two people...2 burritos, two small quesadillas, 2 Mexican pizzas and another item whose name slips my mind). Our server asked what spice level we wanted so we asked how spicy their spicy was...and he said he found it to be a bit hot, but not burning...so we all ordered the spicy. When it arrived, the food runner stated that one platter was mild and the other spicy. We told them it wasn't our order, as we both ordered spicy. Well, our server came over and said he ordered 1 spicy and 1 mild, as he thought we might find the spicy too hot. Um...shouldn't we get what we ordered? As we were clearly displeased that our order was modified without out consultation, he brought over some spicy sauce, which was very spicy but excellent. We all used it on our meals...as even their "spicy" platter wasn't that spicy. Food was very good...perhaps some of the best Mexican I've had outside of Mexico. Every item on our plates were devoured......and it was a ton of food. Rich in flavour ...I will admit I was hooked. Our friends explained to us that the restaurant originally opened to provide authentic cuisine to the migrant workers from Mexico, who work in the agricultural areas that surround Bradford. Whatever the reason...this place is a true gem. Anyways, while eating our meals, a friend (who finished his Coke), was asked if he wanted another. As we were mid-meal, he stated yes. Well, his meal was finished and we were seated talking for about 10 minutes before his replacement pop was brought out...a good 20 minutes after being ordered. Our server did apologize and did take it back when we explained that it was no longer wanted. A Mexican band (not the type you get in Mexico...you know the ones dressed in loud costumes and playing loud trumpets and guitars) provides a nice background noise....just a singer with a guitar accompaniment. While we were waiting for our bill, a food runner was going table to table, asking each table if they had ordered it the food he was carrying....so service needs to be improved a bit. I think the food belonged to a table that moved out to the patio....but the runner obviously didn't know that...he circled the store for a good 5 minutes trying to find which table ordered the food before moving out to the patio. So...the million dollar question...would we go back.....? For us...its a good 40 minute drive from where we live. If closer, this place would definitely become a regular haunt.....food is excellent and the atmosphere is fun and casual (and very loud). Despite the travel time to get here....I will go back......just wish there was a closer one to where I live. Mexican in Bradford...who would have thought? read more

Great place. Ambiance feels like you are in a restaurant in Mexico. Had the tacos and burritos. Taste really good. Not a lot of condiments on the tacos which for me is authentic. Great selection of hot sauces. Yummy! read more

We live 100 km away. Having visited this place 3+ years ago and met with the owner, we had great memories of the amazing service, food and the live band. Waited for the opportunity to be back, had it bookmarked in the yelp. Finally in the area, drove 20 km off the route to visit the place and were left extremely disappointed with the service and food. Nothing in comparison to the first experience. A very rude waiter, impatient, threw plates on the table, showed irritation as if it was our fault they were busy and short of staff. On to the food... Sadly have to admit the quality of food has deteriorated immensely. We ordered 5 soft tacos, none came with salsa and guac contrary to the menu. 2 soft medium hot beef burritos came with very little lettuce and no refried beans or salsa, just very bland boiled ground meat with some rice wrapped into tortilla. Luckily we had ordered a side of medium salsa for our chips and guac earlier in the evening. How busy do you have to be to miss basic ingredients or is it an intentional scam?! They blamed their lack of service on being busy. Not a good enough excuse for me. I regret wasting my time. This left an especially sour taste precisely because we were so looking forward to going back to this place. Never again. read more

Great food, Slow service. Atmosphere is authentic... if you are ok with that. Tacos are pricey for what you get.

Really good, tasty authentic Mexican food. But that's not the only reason I'll be returning. It's the ambiance. Servers and staff are extra friendly and immediately make you feel like family. We happened to be there on a Saturday night and had the added good fortune to listen to a live 3 piece band. Pretty decent selection of tequilas! Make sure you end the meal with the churros!!! read more

I've celebrated my birthday here for the past 5 years or so! This place is always a wonderful good time! I recommend it to everyone and anyone that will listen! The only place better is my moms kitchen, and even then not by much. But seriously, this place is basically perfection. read more

I have been wanting to try this place after hearing people rave about it. We went on a Saturday night around 6:30pm and got the last table, so it seems you need reservations, the place was packed! We were greeted quickly by a friendly waiter and shortly after ordered a piña colada and water. My hubby ordered a beer with dinner. My drink was yummy. We ordered our food and then didn't see the waiter for over an hour. He brought us a complimentary tiny dish of guacamole and Tostitos out of a bag (!) and told us our meal was not coming soon due to a large group. He brought my hubby's beer. When our food did come, it was quite bland, no salsa or sauces were offered. My hubby's beer had gone warm by then. I had to flag the waiter down to get another drink. We were there 2 hours. The live duo played great music and people seemed to be having fun. While it wasn't awful, I'm not sure what all the fuss was about and probably will not return. read more

Showed up around 545pm on a Friday night. Seated right away. Restaurant filled up quickly. Food came pretty quick and was piping hot. Combo platter was excellent. Beef, pork and chicken all great. Will definitely be back as we left 100% satisfied. $60 with tip, dinner for two with a margarita and a mohito. Can't beat that. read more

Love this place.... authentic Mexican food... exceptional ambiance... staff are great... I sincerely love everything about this place

Live music is fantastic, and not overly loud so you can continue to have a conversation without shouting- big bonus. I had the 2 chicken burritos and was a huge fan- not a big fan of the refried beans. The place itself gives off a great vibe and it's such a nice atmosphere, will definitely return. read more

I would rate worse but 1 star is the minimum. I sat in this restaurant for 2+ hours and left without eating. I travelled from Toronto on a friend's suggestion and will never go back. It's the first time I've entered a restaurant and was never served. The drinks are good but realistically how can you mess up a drink? I didn't get to taste the food at all except for the tortillas and salsa. There was an obvious lack of management. I don't recommend this place at all. read more

Very disappointed tonight. When we lived in Innisfil this was one of our favourites. We hadn't been in a few years as we moved to Mississauga. Decided to make the drive and wish we hadn't. Service was abysmal, very loud and waited a long time for our food. When it did arrive mine was cold so I sent it back. Waited about 15 minutes and it came to the table no hotter than it was before. By that time I was so hungry I ate it anyway. As we were leaving we were asked if everything was okay and said no. My entree was taken off the bill which was the best thing of the night. read more

Fantastic! It's is the closest thing to the food I ate while in a little town north of Mexico City. When a group of friends go out, la MexiCanada is our go to establishment! read more

A hidden gem in Bradford's downtown core. The food is delicious and you must try the sangria!

First time eating at this restaurant and will definitely return. The meal was truly authentic Mexican cuisine, full of flavour and spice. It had a cute and quiet ambiance and the service was good. My girlfriend and I Ioved it overall and preferred it much more than the competitor in Newmarket. read more

I am from the US. I am used to good and bad Mexican food. Truth be told, the food is ok. Way better than the place down the street. The service is much better. There is room for improvement. I knew what to expect. Tex-Mex. Nevertheless, as a food and wine reviewer, the place and the food are not bad. The decor and the ambiance are spot on. Feels Mexican, unlike the place down the street. Nice going. A change in the menu will do you good. Not bad. read more

I used to love going to this restaurant but over the last year, the food and the service has been sacrificed immensely. My regular business, big dinner parties are no longer at la Mexicanada, never again. The last time I was there with 7 other people, with reservation, we didn't have a table, were denied service, rudely dismissed. They finally found us a table, but the service and the food was disgusting. read more

Alright food but terrible service and seemingly unprepared for any takeout orders. Love the food here but I just can't stand uncourteous service. read more

THIS PLACE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The food is INCREDIBLE and we've had great service here. My favourite dish is the platter for one, HOT! :) It's perfect EVERY time and the margaritas are to DIE for! My husband always gets the Palomas, and they are absolutely DELICIOUS! Best Mexican food around!!!!! Keep up the AMAZING work guys!!!!!!!!! read more

I used to love this place (been there numerous times) but sadly my visit this past Friday May 26, 2017 was terrible! I had a reservation for 4 people @ 7pm and upon arriving was completely ignored. I called a waiter over to tell him I had a reservation and he pointed to a table and said "you can sit there" (without even asking my name). The service was terrible! No chips and salsa on the table, asked for a glass and never got it, drinks took forever, no water on the table..... we ordered right away and waited a long time for the food. The tortilla soup arrived late with the rest of the food. Soup was cold and no flavour, my adobe chicken was more adobe sauce than chicken and the refried beans were so cold that the cheese on top was hard! Not pleased at all! I asked if they were short staffed and whether or not there were new owners and was told no to both questions. This place used to be awesome, in fact, probably one of the best Mexican restaurants I had ever been to. I don't know what happened ???????i don't think we will ever go back. I must say though that the entertainment was fantastic! (Hence, the two star rating) read more

This is a great place! Authentic and wholesome Mexican food. Went here for lunch and it was fantastic. Got the Combo platter for One and the Mexicanada salad. All reasonably priced as well! Their churros are amazingggg...their served with warm dulce de lede..perfect! The owner is so nice and down to earth. It's a great place to go...highly recommend it! read more

Good food and not too expensive! They have a mariachis band on weekends which makes it a great place to stay and have a few drinks after you eat. read more

Absolutely love this place. Best Mexican and worth the drive. The combo platter is great if it's your first time there. Make sure to get different meats to see what you like best . read more

Incredible atmosphere, live music, very friendly staff, excellent authentic Mexican food and fantastic drinks. Had a great evening being served by Edson. Love this place! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and it was excellent as usual, despite some reviews saying otherwise. I had the Chipotle chicken quesadilla and it was awesome! So happy to still have a quality Mexican did destination! read more

Just when I thought I'd never find great Mexican food in Canada, a friend took me to La MexiCanada and I learned otherwise! The food is amazing and the service and atmosphere are wonderful as well. I can't wait to go back. read more

The best Mexican food ever. Awesome food. They have an outside patio too. The spanish music is really nice. Some nights you get a alive band. The band lays really great music and people like to dance to the music. The food is out of this world. It's really delicious. I like this place so much. I go to this place almost every day. read more

We arrived at this place at around 7:00 pm with two small kids. Ordered nachos with salsa and guacamole, soup and a taco dish. It was around 8:00 already and we still didn't get any food. So we asked what's up. We were told there were 2 more orders before us. Then another 10-15 minutes passed and we asked again. After that we got complementary nachos with cheese. Then when the soup and tacos came we asked what about our nachos with salsa and guacamole. They told us that thru didn't no nachos with salsa. After that they brought us nachos with but no salsa but we didn't bother asking them for that again. We asked for water that we did not get either. Desert took a very very long time to arrive, which we also had to remind them to bring. Honestly that compensates for the whole dinner because it was very very delicious. And we also got it on the house. Over all the service was very very slow we but we did get a compensation for it, but definitely will not come back there especially not with kids. read more

Nothing more than an old, overly cramped sweat box of a restaurant. Same table toppers used for each next guest and clean cutlery placed right on those - definitely not hygienic. The trio that plays is far too loud for the size of the place although they were the best part of the visit. Food is just mediocre, portions anything but ample and they really need to realize that not everyone comes from Mexico and enjoys sitting in a sweltering restaurant that they have to pay to eat in. Would never return. Too many other far superior restaurants to go back there. It could be good but it would require many improvements. Have no idea how the Board of Health has continued to pass this place. read more
