Our Story

After being repeatedly invited by our friends at The Launch to cook Mexican food at their business, we finally agreed to give it a shot as a "test." Choosing to kick things off with a weekly Taco Tuesday event, we opened for the first time on August 8, 2023, and were met with a fantastic response as we sold out every single Tuesday.

This unexpected success led to requests for catering at various events, prompting us to take our business to the next level by revamping our website and expanding our catering services. From our beginnings as hesitant newcomers to flourishing entrepreneurs, we are thrilled to continue sharing our passion for authentic Mexican cuisine with you.
Making memories together

Mestizo Taqueria To Go was born after countless calls from our loyal customers asking when the taco stand would be open. We realized the demand for authentic Mexican food was high, especially for those busy nights when no one wants to cook after a long week. So, we decided to create an easy and convenient way for you to enjoy the same delicious flavours right at your table. Now, with Mestizo Taqueria To Go, you can have a fresh, authentic Mexican meal ready for dinner, perfect for those Friday nights when all you want is great food without the hassle!
Marking another milestone in our journey

Growing up in Mexico, I was raised in a traditional family where I watched my mom cook with recipes passed down through generations. This upbringing sparked my love for authentic Mexican cuisine, which eventually led my family to start a business specializing in Mexican street food. It all began at a taco stand at The Launch, where we served up mouthwatering tacos al pastor and Mexican street corn that quickly became a hit with customers. Their support motivated us to expand our business, and we now offer catering services to share our passion for Mexican food with even more people. Just like my family's commitment to preserving our culinary heritage, we continue to serve up traditional flavors and satisfy our customers one delicious dish at a time.
Our Passion

Our decision to name our business Mestizo-Taqueria was inspired by our unique identity as a Mexican-Canadian family. The term "Mestizo" holds special meaning for us, symbolizing the beautiful blend of cultures and traditions that we bring to our culinary creations. Rooted in the Spanish word "mestizo," which describes individuals of mixed heritage, our choice of name reflects our own diverse backgrounds and the fusion of Mexican and Canadian influences that shape our family. Just as our name signifies a harmonious blending of different cultures, our dishes embody a fusion of authentic Mexican flavours that honour our roots. Welcome to Mestizo-Taqueria, where our name tells the story of our Mexican-Canadian heritage and our passion for sharing exceptional Mexican dining experiences with you.
