The waitresses have always treated me wonderfully, very friendly and attentive, what I don't like at all is the way the supposed boss treats them, she is always yelling at them and treating them very badly in front of the customers, I won't come back again, they should look at that. Nobody deserves that treatment.

In less than half-busy dinery they take order, making you wait for about 15 minutes. Then you wait 40 minutes for the food, they forget to bring something you ordered. People, who came later get their food earlier ( obviously because Mexican guy was waiter’s friend ). You ask guy for extra ketchup and guacamole. He never brings it.
Staff being hectic and chilled ( more “not giving a sh1t about you” ) in the same time.
Food is very average or more likely “not
disgusting”.
Actually the worst “Mexican” restaurant I’ve ever been to.
If “this” gets so many stars - I feel sorry for people they consider this service and food as top-quality.

As I sit here after my meal I can’t help but be disappointed.

I have brought people from out of town specifically because food was fantastic.

NOW, food overpriced, I ordered fajitas and the meat came with just the tortillas …no sides as it used to come with. Also, more expensive.

I voice my concern to server 1 ( male brown hair, jeans and a black sweater) he heard about 1 second of my complaint and decided it would be great to talk over me. We are the meal, then asked for the manager. Server 2 ( female) arrived back with the bill, finally we got the manager Abi. Voice my concern. She said they used to serve the fajitas with side but because some people simply don’t eat it they stopped and increased prices.

Unacceptable, treat each customer as an individual not as a general statistic. Terrible customer service, felt that Abi simply blew off the complaint.

Restaurant was full so it’s not an issue with making money, it seems to be an issue with a greedy owner.

I usually bring out of town persons to this restaurant because the food was good, prices were fantastic, and service was amazing. NEVER again, go to the competition.

Then we order a coffee…..water and milk, zero coffee taste. Complete waste of time coming here, save your money.

Food was good, tacos were a fair sized portions (3 was enough). You could not mix’n’match taco fillings, we order 3 servings and split them up. The Pastor taco was the best (one of the right), pork & pineapple. Nothing spectacular, but I would go back.

The food and service were really good.
The live band is talented but needs a sound engineer as it was loud enough for a concert hall even though the band was only 2 feet from our table. We left our party early because it was too loud to think let alone talk.

Overall, my visit here was highly unsatisfactory. The combination of poor service, subpar food, and an unwelcoming atmosphere made for a thoroughly unpleasant dining experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are many other establishments where the staff is courteous, the food is prepared with care, and the environment is pleasant.
I will certainly not be returning for sure. Waitress Manu if I remember correctly is very rude and zero skills. Had to ask for water twice, no spoon or fork has been given with the food. Quesadilla was a joke tacos were not fresh.

Amazing food and atmosphere! The Mexican House exceeded my expectations in every way. The service was great, the decor was vibrant and fun, and the food was incredibly delicious. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a mexican food experience.

Our server. Never gave us a complimentary bask of chips, which every other table got. Afterwards our food came never ever asked ifvwe wanted more drinks. I had to ask 3 servers to bring water. We waited 1/2 hour for him to ask us about if we waited dessert. When we flagged him down for dessert he told us they had no more cake. Meanwhile other tables were getting cake. And to top it all off he made sure every person at our table gave him a 18% tip. For the WORST service in a restaurant I have ever had.

This place has been incredible since it was a humble little shop near Dunlop and Anne. 5 years later they are still producing quality food meal after meal. The best Mexican you can find without a long flight and certainly the best in Canada. You can't really go wrong no matter what you order. Thank you for not compromising on quality after all these years!

I recently visited The Mexican House in downtown Barrie, Ontario. The decoration and music were absolutely lovely, creating a wonderful atmosphere that really brought you into the vibrant Mexican culture. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the ambiance. It was quite bland, and the meat was dry. Additionally, the tables weren’t very clean, which was a bit off-putting. To top it off, the next morning I had a bit of the runs in the washroom. Overall, while the setting was fantastic, the food, cleanliness, and after-effects were disappointing.

Really enjoyed a dinner here with a good friend recently. Great authentic Mexican food with lots of seafood options. Wonderful summer patio with views of Lake Simcoe and stylish decor inside the restaurant. Friendly servers. Great selection of drinks, including cocktails.
