What a wonderful surprise! When working away from home, my crew likes to look for locally owned restaurants. Not only did we find the food and atmosphere good, the staff were friendly and quick. Pricing was better than fast food and portions left this construction crew very satisfied. We will be back ( maybe even tonight )

After reading a local write-up about The Mexican Hat, we decided to go for a late lunch. The waitress (owner?) was cordial and informed us on the ordering process. The restaurant is decorated nicely and had a bit of Mexican vibe. The free tortilla chips and three dips were a good start to our meal, with the dips having different and tasty heat levels. Our meals came quickly and looked good with tasty rice and refried beans. The soft tortillas (one cubed steak, one ground beef mix) looked good however lacking in taste. As Mexican food lovers, we've experienced amazing Mexican food while travelling in Mexico, the SW USA, and in Canada. In our opinion, the Mexican Hat could really elevate their protein offerings by adding more Mexican spice. The pico de gallo was also very bland, lacking in cilantro, chiles, lime juice and salt. The Tres Leches cake again did not meet our expectations being too dry and too short. Overall our experience was average at best with higher scores going to customer service.

Coming from Calgary, we were very hungry and found this place on Google. The taste exceeded our expectations, and the staff was really friendly. The enchiladas and burritos were delicious, the tacos we ordered additionally were perfect beyond expectation. They gave free fries and tacos to the kids. This is the best place to eat. We will visit again.

Our family is a large group. The lady who served us made us feel very welcomed and showed us how to do things a little cheaper. Food was great and portion sizes were good. We fed 7 people for $107. Kid-friendliness: Kids meals were cheap Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level entrance. Someone has to hold the door. Most of the restaurant is booth seating but we were seated at a table with chairs.

We stopped by on our way through town, and while its off the beaten path from the highway it was worth the detour. We had a couple burritos and the loaded tater tots and everything was good. They didnt skimp on the toppings or sour cream for the tots. They had a few other things Id like to try as well like the enchiladas, tacos, and the burger. The lady working there was helpful and kind to my kids. Even after they spilled the hot sauce. We spent about $50 including a few beverages for two adults and two kids. I felt I got my moneys worth, especially given fast food prices these days. Well be back next time we go through town. Places like this are why I try to eat local when I can.

I loved this little hole in the wall experience. The woman who served us (owner? I m assuming) was so sweet and friendly. The portions were large and filling. Food came out quickly. My husband and I both got carne asada, in different forms. Mine as tacos and his in a burrito. Meat was well seasoned, and with a touch of their spicy homemade salsa, it s a 10/10. We left very full, took two boxes home and polished them off before bed. We will definitely be back!

We were in the Hat for a day trip and felt like some authentic Mexican food! Boy did we find a winner! The owner was so friendly. She provided excellent service and we had to push to get her to accept a tip! The ingredients were fresh and our meals hot! The tortillas are home made and so light and crispy. I didn t see a chicken quesadilla on the menu and inquired. The owner immediately said no problem I can make one for you! It was stuffed and the ingredients were simple and fresh! My son loved his meat lovers tacos and he loved the refried beans so much he took the half I had left off my plate If you are lucky enough to find this place like we were then go and support it! We will everytime we are back in the hat!

One of the best restaurants in Alberta, not in Edmonton nor Calgary but right in Medicine Hat! You can t go wrong with anything on their menu. In fact it s such a great restaurant that I m tempted to ask for something off-menu, that s how consistently good the food is from The Mexican Hat. You ll be greeted warmly as you enter by the lovely hostess and she ll also be your waitress/server. All the hot sauces are great. This place is not your typical faux-Mexican this is authentic Mexican so you ll enjoy the heat!

What a hidden gem! So happy we discovered this place today. My daughter and I stopped in for lunch. Being a vegan, my daughter can have difficulty finding a place she enjoys but the staff was so friendly and helpful to her. She had a veggie burrito with refried beans. I had the taco al pastor. Both dishes were delicious, very filling and very affordable! The place itself is small but it didnt feel that way, the decor/atmosphere is very enjoyable. Customer service was top notch! Vegetarian options: A few main dish options as well as 3 side options

Passing through Medicine Hat and thought the name was fun so we decided to stop. I can t wait to come through again! Food was excellent! We had salsa/guacamole and chips to start and it didn t disappoint. We had left over guacamole and weren t about to leave that behind. For our meals we had the smoked ham and barbacoa burritos. Meat was fantastic! Very tender, juicy and flavourful. Fixings inside were perfect along with the Mexican rice. Finally, I believe the lady working in the front is an owner as her husband was in the kitchen. She was a joy to speak to. Very fun, welcoming and gracious. Will be sharing this hidden gem with my family and friends. Parking: Lots of parking out front. Wheelchair accessibility: There was a person in the restaurant using a wheelchair.

Another gem I need to highly recomend. An amazingly good Mexican restaurant. On a road trip heading back to the coast & stopped for an early lunch. Seeing the owners were from Mexico, I asked if they could do an off menu item.. Chilaquiles! OMG, the best Ive had since my trip to Arizona last January. Actually they were even better. Huge portion, so tasty, the right amount of heat, fresh & flavourful. And Yazmin, what a warm and pleasant lady. She just brightened my day with herr great service, beautiful smile...& thanks for the travel trips. Highly recomend this place....& maybe just maybe ask them if they can prepare you a plate of Marks Chilaquiles ...even if its not on the menu...you wont be dissapointed.

Awesome service, good helping, and fresh. Great salsas, but would like to see a Pico de Gallo. Seemed like it would fit even with some of their dishes.

I m confused by all the great reviews. I eat a lot of Mexican, this is below average. I got enchiladas and there was no effort put into them. The chicken was white unseasoned chicken breast (almost seemed canned), the medium sauce tasted like water, and there was zero effort or authenticity in these. The only thing that made it good was all the cheese piled on it, but other than that, pretty flavourless. We won t be coming back.

I got it a while ago but it was pretty bad, the meat was dry and when we ordered a taco it was JUST meat

I tend to discount reviews of small local restaurants especially speciality foods. Ill have to revise that bias. This was good Mexican food. We had a variety of tacos and each was what Id expect in a Mexican restaurant in Texas or Mexico. Very good tortillas, meat not lettuce filler and a variety of salsas from mild to hot. Cant wait to pass back through Medicine Hat on the way back from our TC trip.

First time getting food here yesterday and it s one of the best Mexican dishes I ve had! :) I got the enchiladas with refried beans on the side. Everything was delicious and perfectly seasoned! The chicken in the enchilada was a little dry and didn t have much taste. But the delicious green salsa on top defiantly helped with that, and the corn tortillas were soooo good. I loved pretty much all of it, even my little churro which was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I will defiantly be ordering again. Thank you for the delicious food!

Best place in Medicine Hat for Mexican food. Service was beyond amazing, and it tasted delicious. My mom and I ordered some enchiladas and a couple of tacos which got a little cold since we ate the enchiladas first. So we asked if our tacos could be reheated and unfortunately that was not possible due to possible food contamination and we understood that just fine, so we ate them anyways. After a couple of minutes, the same server/cashier comes with two tacos (which we didn t order) and apologizes once again. What an amazing gesture! Will definitely be back. (Also, I am not quite sure if there s a way of tipping at the front but I would ve loved to tip her because of her amazing service).
