What an incredible place to go for my Birthday Lunch!!! This place is so good. The Chef is AMAZING. So friendly & created such a welcoming vibe. Her food is sooooo good. The Birria Tacos were my favourite & the Soursop fresh juice. I cannot wait to come back again. Also, she is such a gem, she gave me a handmade gift. As soon as she heard it was my birthday she immediately wanted to give me something special. This woman is just a sweetheart. THANK YOU so much for making my day.... If you're thinking about it, just go!!!

Not only is the food at this location absolutely delicious, not only is the food so fresh and authentic, not only is the staff super kind and very hospitable but the amazing energy you feel as soon as you approach this restaurant is incredible. You feel as though you just turned the corner on a little cobblestone street in Mexico. What a charming atmosphere full of cibrant colours and delicious aromas. My girlfriend and I tried the home made fruit drinks, the chicken quesadilla, the chorizo and potato tacos and the carnitas quesadillas as well. My personal favourite is the carnitas but I can assure you that whatever you order from here your pallet will be met with fresh authentic Mexican flavours that will leave you coming back again and again. I can’t wait to try my next dish here at the Mexican kitchen! P.s. the head chef Paola is such a very sweet woman who made our experience here even better than we imagined. A lovey family environment I’m happy to have stumbled upon! We’ll be back for the food and to see Paola again very soon!

Located in Hamilton’s Farmer’s Market, this place is a true gem! I love the decor and the authenticity of the food. Servers were lovely. Tried the tacos birria which was really flavourful, the sauces are a must, and the chicken tostada, which tasted fresh with all the veggies, white bean spread, and generous amount of shredded chicken. Would love to try some other menu items!

I am so happy I found this place after moving to the area almost 8 years ago. The owners are incredible and the food is absolutely fantastic! They were the first to bring birria to the market, if not all of Hamilton. My go to is their tacos or tostadas and my daughter is begging daily for their birria tacos. They are always making fresh and tasty specials, sauces and even jewelery. They have expanded their shopping selection and have everything available for a delicious meal to make at home. -Shannon Leah xo

February 22, 2024

Atmosphere and service here is great, but the food was below average. I got the chicken burrito and veggie tamale. The chicken was bland and the burrito was quite soggy, and had no authentic taste. The veggie tamale was almost inedible. The potato was way too dry and felt like I was eating clay, and was also extremely bland. I really expected more spices and flavors from a place claiming to be authentic, especially at the prices they charge. And their reply speaks volumes. Instead of owning up to the poor meal, they try and blame me. Despicable. I write my views when I receive exceptional good or poor service. Being free or not is irrelevant. Work on your quality instead of blaming me. If I cared about it being free I would have asked for a refund.

Really yummy food. Authentic vibe and atmosphere. I am really happy to see a vegan menu here i got tostada and pozole soup. i felt bad because i ordered and i didn t know they were closing. staff was so sweet for serving us to-go. Portion was so generous and the food was so hearty and filling especially for vegan options it s usually not much. The soup was definitely my favourite, very flavourful and loved the mushrooms. Will definitely come back. the food was priced on the higher side but for home made fresh food from a local small business, it is very worth it. will definitely come back and would recommend

Authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine at a reasonable price! Theres a reason that two Mexican prepared food stalls have been able to operate together in the same market for so long because they are both legit and well worth a trip down to the lower level of the market! Parking: There is plenty of metered parking in the area, but it is freqe full... There is also the option of free limited time (1 or 2 hours) parking at the York Parkade parking garage across York Blvd (you have to register your licence at the machine and get validation from a Market vendor though). There is also a garage under Jackson Square that is accessible from Main St or Bay St, I believe that they still validate for a free hour if you show a receipt of $30 or more from Nations grocery store to the security guard at the booth in front of the Nations.

Small informal place. Minimal, but good seating. Prices competitive or slightly lower than competition. Had tacos that were very good.

Had lunch here before shopping at the market. They have a hibiscus drink and I asked if it had a lot of sugar and she said it did. Lucky us, as they must have had capacity to whip us up some without the sugar and it was delicious! We each had 3 tacos and they were amazing. One had potato in it which I ve never had before. The price was great! Our table had some specs of food, and when she delivered our drinks, she came back with a cloth and wiped it off. People had just left the table. Very nice people and awesome food!

This is by far the best Mexican food that I have ever had the pleasure of eating! The food is freshly prepared and delicious and the portions are very generous. I highly recommend the Mexican soup (Pozole) and the Birria / Barbacóa. The tacos are also excellent. The service is exceptional- the ladies are very personable and expedient in preparing and serving your order. This is my favourite go-to place for authentic Mexican cuisine in Hamilton. Five stars! Vegetarian options: They have a wide variety of vegetarian dishes.

Tried 3 tacos. They were just okay - nothing special. The chicken was the least flavourful - probably in any taco I have ever had. Hibuscus water was refreshing without being overly sweet. Maybe I hit an off day so will give them another try and taste other exciting items on the menu.

Tacos amazing ! Birria tacos were so tender and the corn tortillas fire. All in all a solid 10/10. If you want some really good authentic tacos definitely come here ! They were also super friendly which is always a plus.

Ordered food to be delivered to our house. The al pastor tacos were delicious a d fully satisfied my craving. My wife ordered the quesadillas (chicken, al pastor, and chorizo) and loved them. The side of chips with salsa and spicy guac was her favourite. Also had some chorizos which was a great way to round out the entire meal. Would definitely order food from here again.

Unfortunately I did not have a very positive experience with my food. I ordered online, when I got there they didnt even know that I had ordered. They than took 15 minutes to make my order, the food was thrown in the container, it was bland and hard to eat. Generally the food was just blah. I did appreciate that there were vegan options, but it was not worth the quality of product and service. I wont go here again.

One of the best places Ive ever eaten. I ordered a vegan tostada and I loved it. You can notice the fresh and home-made ingredients. The beans and the avocado were excellent. I definitely will go again soon.

I had high hopes for trying this food , but did not enjoy it , the tacos were very flavorless and not euthentic as claimed to be, as well the burrito was mess you couldnt even hold it like you would normally hold a burrito , very disappointed especially for what we paid for, if it was good no problem but it was flavorless. Deffinetly will not be returning and will not recommend this establishment . FREE FOOD LOL ? You obviously did not read my review because we paid for , this food was so bad I would not even take it if it was free. Very disappointed would never recommend this place.

We working in Hamilton on a T.V. Show and someone recommended Mexican Kitchen for really authentic, dyed in the wool Mexican food. I spend my Winters in Texas and I have had the real deal. The food was muis excellente!!! Wow!!! The portions were huge and it was prepared quickly. Highly recommended!!! If youre filming in Hamilton and you are getting lunch or Second Meal? This is a great place. They also gave us enough Salsa, Sour Cream and Guacamole for 3 meals. Very accommodating to Film and Television Productions. F.y.i.. It is on the bottom floor of the Farmers Market. Dont go into the mall. Its next door.

What a great find in Hamilton Market on York and McNab. Paola and her family are the treasures here. The food offerings are delicious and authentic Mexican Cuisine. Try the Birra , you will thank me. This dish is a flavourful bomb in your mouth. Also the Tacos, Burritos, the Floutes and Churros will keep you coming back for more. They also carry a huge selection for you to cook at home as well as Paolas prepared offerings. Heaven is not far away with the tasty morsels of Paolas cooking.
