La Mexicanada Restaurant

Fantastic, authentic Mexican food!
Even the plates and table cloths are authentic!

I am a Mexican food lover and I have been searching high and low all over this Province of ours for great Mexican food. The closest I've come is mediocre Mexican food in Toronto, more like Tex-Mex, which of course is not Mexican at all.

La MexiCanada has authentic, MEXICAN food. No Tex-Mex here.
I tried several things on the menu...as much as my stomach would hold! :-) I'll be back over and over to try the rest.

I started with a chicken Tamale, moved on to a small (which definitely did not look small) Tortilla soup and rounded things out with a Crispy Beef Taco. I think next time I'll order three Tacos, they were great - I just wanted more of them.

Everything was timed perfectly and arrived to my table at the ideal temperature. The level of spice was also excellent: I am not one for bland food and generally, I find that when a menu says "spicy", it isn't. For dessert, I had freshly made Churros - still hot! Another Mexican delicacy.

The owners, Noe and Debbie were friendly, very accommodating and provided great service. The dining room itself isn't the fanciest place I've ever been to, but the food far outweighs it.

If you like Mexican food, great, authentic Mexican food like I do, get in your car now and head to Bradford. Grab a table in La MexiCanada and enjoy! You won't regret it and chances are very high that you will not have experienced this kind of authenticity outside of Mexico!

We traveled from Arizona to Newmarket July 25th to attend a family reunion. I had heard about this restaurant so we decided to go for dinner Friday night. I am from the area but live in Arizona now and my wife is Mexican born in Arizona. The food was the best we have ever had away from home. Cooked to perfection and served hot ready to eat. A lot of "Mexican" food is so spicy it is almost inedible and leaves a taste in the mouth. This was perfectly spiced. It had a bite with no after burn. Just the way it should be. Our host was very pleasant and took the time to chat with us and make us feel at home. We will definitely go back again next time we are in the area.

My husband and I travel to mexico quite alot and this by far is the best Mexican cuisine you will find outside of mexico!!
The food is always authentic and amazing, my kids 3, 7, 9, 11 love the kids rice and chicken and the Mexican pop.
This restuarant is a family favorite for our families birthdays and we always get extra special service and sombreros to celebrate with. The staff is amazing.
If you want authentic mexican cuisine in an authentic mexican atmosphere, that is affordable, this is the restaurant for you.

I have been visiting La Mexicanada for a few years now. I have been to Mexico many times and this is by far better than anything I have ever had elsewhere.

Don't expect FAST FOOD, this is a REAL restaurant where they actually cook REAL food from scratch, they don't pull it out of a package (like 99% of restaurants).

They have great Mexican drinks including beer, margaritas and authentic Mexican pops, no fountain pop with free refills here! I recommend you try the Tecate Beer it's my favourite.

Everyone is really nice, you will always feel welcome.
The service is great! I recommend this place to everyone!
By the way, Noe the owner is not too sore on the eyes either!

This place looks like nothing from the outside and the inside decor could use some sprucing up too. The bathrooms are not nice and are frequently out of toilet paper so bring your own. The service is slow, they may or may not open for lunch on time and they close down during part of the winter to go to Mexico.

That being said, it is SO worth the minor inconveniences because the food is AWESOME. They make everything, even the taco chips, cheese dip and tortillas from scratch themselves, which is why it sometimes takes a while to get to your table. It is SO worth the wait because the food is authentic, tasty, plentiful and perfectly seasoned. Our children love the special kids chicken and rice platters which are flavourful but not spicy. I can't say enough about their tostadas - crunchy, creamy and spicy all in one bite. They even have a man who sings and plays guitar in Spanish on Friday nights.

This place is an oasis of authentic Mexican food in a Taco Bell world. I highly recommend it.

The best Mexican food I ever had, very busy all the time. Hard to get in. We sometimes order for take-out!!
Owners are great people!!

This was the best Mexican food I've ever had.:-)

Wonderful restraunt, great food and friendly service all for a reasonable price. What else could you ask for :)

The atmosphere is like a true Mexican cantina. The food was AMAZING - the best I have had outside of the southern US. The service was very friendly but not overbearing so you could relax and enjoy. I will not go into Barrie for Mexican food again - going to Bradford from now on!

have been before - will be back - fun to take out of town guests for a great night out close to home - great spot
