The Mexican House El Mercadito

Great little place! the staff was very friendly and asked us how our meal was. it's more of a spin-off. we were able to sit down, but there are bar-style sitting in front of the window and a table. but the portions were great for the price! they also have a small section where they sell products imported from mexiko, as well as frozen foods can take them home. I would recommend this place and would like to go back to try some different elements on the menu!

Very authentic tacos! Probably one of the best we've ever had. If you've never had beef tongue, this the place to try it! If you have had tongue before, this is the best place you'll ever have it. Lamb was ok. Also had the enchiladas Verde, very authentic flavour. Cant wait to try other menu items! Congrats so happy you're in Orillia!

Nice tacos. Tried the chorizo, tongue and chicken. Yummy. Friendly staff

Great food, hard to place a phone order though. Need to work on phone ordering skills! It would help if the menue gave a little more description and maybe links to pictures of food. Mexican food is great, but we're not in Mexico and many of us have no idea what some of these items are. That said however, once you get your food, it's delicious

Sadly I have to downgrade my review of The Mexican House. Most notably is the fact that their online menu prices are not in line with what they are charging at the counter. I do not blame them for needing to increase their prices during these difficult time but the prices should match what we see online. Lastly, I was quite disappointed with the quality of the Enchiladas. I'm no expert but I believe that they were reheated in the microwave. The bottoms were hard and could not be cut with a fork. I've found this texture only on reheated microwaved foods. They are delicious though. The penalty for incorrectly priced items and reheated food is 2stars. I will return and will update my review at that time.
