Lucero, the owner has been cooking and baking Mexican food since the age of 11, when her father gave her a week's worth of budget to go to the market and buy groceries for the family. She took the challenge and right there, a lifetime of passion for authentic Mexican food was born. Her signature dishes are formed by Mexican tradition and years of experience. Her Chicken in Mole sauce, Cochinita Pibil or Bass fish Veracruzana style are sought-after by happy customers who have been returning to her since tasting them for the first time.

The halal items are beef and chicken. Pork is also prepared on the premises. Maybe before you go, confirm whether they still have halal options. I came here because they offer HALAL authentic Mexican food which is rare in the GTA and area. (I'm not talkin tacos n burritos). Be aware they also have a few dishes with pork such as the pre-prepared empanadas (has chorizo which is pork sausage). They said that their chicken and beef has been halal for many many years due to their customer base. They also had virgin cocktails. Their menu includes some of the most common Mexican dishes such as chimichangas, enchiladas, fajitas, chicken with mole sauce, and taquitos. The restaurant is relatively small and decorated with basic Mexican decor. The service was great and fast. The food was good and reasonably priced. There is free parking at the back which is nice. I would recommend this place and I would return again.
I had the absolute best experience here! They have excellent vegetarian options and can adapt the dishes to suit vegetarians and vegans. We enjoyed the quesadillas, chimichangas, and burrito bowl. The nachos and drinks were also delicious. We ended our meal with churros and carrot cake which were both tasty as well. The atmosphere was full of joy, colour, and community spirit. Our server Pepe was so professional, friendly, and helpful. The live music was the cherry on top! It filled the restaurant with so much energy and happiness. Overall, I had such a memorable experience. I also learned that this restaurant has existed for over 40 years and I can't believe this was my first time visiting. I will most definitely be back!
