LA HACIENDA MEXICAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

On a long road trip and stopped in for dinner. We were looking for somewhere with vegan options for one family member, but also food everyone would enjoy. There were lots of choices for everyone. The food was authentic and delicious. Our server was very good - she happily fixed a slight problem with the order. Definitely worth a visit.

Really great food. I don't live locally but when I visit this town this is where I want to eat. It's my favorite. That soup was fantastic!! I had a virgin margarita, and I really loved it. Everyone was happy with what they ordered. The chips and cells are really good too.

The most amazing Mexican restaurant! Lovely owners and delicious food. Fast service, good prices as well.

EL CAMINO'S REVIEWS

The owner is supper dedicated and friendly once you get to know him. He even has our order memorized, and we only go at most a couple of times a week. I've been going for a couple of years now, and it has always hit the spot 10/10 would recommend!.

I went here for the first time last week with my family and oh my GOD the food is incredible. He's also very kind and was great to chat to while waiting. Also was super respectful about making sure my allergie (lactose) were taken seriously and made jokes about how he wouldn't be able to live without cheese. I'll definitely be back and I highly recommend!.

By far the best burritos in Peterborough!!! Ingredients are fresh and so tasty!! The staff is so friendly too. This is our new go to place!! There's something for everyone, even my picky kids couldn't wait to go back!!!.

LAMESITA RESTAURANTE REVIEWS

I thoroughly enjoy the messy and absolutely delicious tacos that I order from Martin. He is so happy, knowledgeable and excited for you to try his food. All of which he makes himself for you to enjoy. Martin is a great addition to the local markets and caters at many events that I attend. I always enjoy a quick chat prior to Martin recommending different suggestions. I love the bright colours of the food. When you are wanting a taste of Mexico, please purchase from La Mesita Mexican Restaurant. You will not be disappointed!.

The best Mexican food since last visiting Mexico. 6 out of 5 for food 6 out of 5 for the service. I truly recomend this place for anyone wanting authentic fresh Mexican food. We can't stop thinking about this. And will be back very soon. Finally a place that doesn't put an American spin on things. give this a try. You will be impressed. Daily soup is amazing as well.

This is by far my favourite Mexican restaurant in Peterborough! The food is always fresh, the flavours taste authentically Mexican, and the service always exceeds expectations. The owner/cook is always so friendly, offering his personal recommendations for taco salsa pairings and is lovely to chat with. Perfect spot to stop for lunch/dinner with a friend/partner. Great food and atmosphere all around.
