La Mexicanada Restaurant

Terrible food served cold.Food used to be ok . Maybe the management has changed. It went from being ok to just terrible.

Not authentic Mexican anymore

This place has been in Bradford for so many years that they do not care about the customers anymore. food is very grease and place is so crowded. no privacy, one table right beside the other. Staff rude and food not authentic Mexican....they just don't care about us anymore...time to change Mexican restaurant.

"Reservation"

"Reservation" a) An arrangement by which accomodations or space are secured in advance, as in a hotel or restaurant; b) The record or promise of such an arrangement. After venturing into the restaurant one afternoon for a late lunch, and being impressed with the food, we chose to book my birthday dinner at the restaurant for last night (Sat. Dec 29th). My boyfriend made the reservation for 7:00pm, as we wanted to have dinner and hear the band. However, when we arrived at the restaurant, we were one of NUMEROUS groups that had made a reservation - with no possibility of us actually getting a table. One side of the restaurant was secured for a private party, and of the remaining tables on the other side, only one table had just received their food while all other tables had only just received their drinks. It was 5 minutes to 7pm, and there would clearly not be an available table for at least 30 minutes, not to mention, there weren't even enough tables on that side of the restaurant to accomodate ALL of the 7pm reservations. After several minutes of all of us huddled in the doorway (we actually spilled into the restaurant and were infringing on other diners' space), a gentleman with a ponytail - whom I can only assume is either the manager or the owner - came by to ask all of the reservation names again, and proceeded to be quite flippant with my boyfriend, suddenly claiming that he didn't recognize that name as a reservation, then dismissed us. Another member of our group then proceeded to find out that we did, indeed have a reservation - among so many others that would obviously not be accomodated - so we chose to leave. It was now just past 7pm on a Saturday evening, so we made the trek into Newmarket, where approximately 20 minutes after being seated in a different restaurant, we noticed another "reservation" group from Mexicanada walk in. It is sad that a place that we so thoroughly enjoyed the first time round let us down so terribly on such an important evening. They nearly ruined my birthday dinner, but thanks to a more professionally-run establishment, it was salvaged. Mexicanada should really learn and understand the meaning of a reservation, and conduct themselves accordingly.

The BEST

It is no secret in this restaurant community as to the reason for certain negative reviews. It is just so sad and appalling that this is going on. My only wish is that the reviews being posted by “virtual” customers cease as it is becoming, quite frankly, very tiresome and extremely predictable. Let’s leave this space for “authentic” customers. It is incomprehensible how this continues. When success is achieved through honesty, morals and a strong work ethic it is a shame that those who do not share these qualities try to ride the coattails of those who do and take the low road by continually trying to defame them. I wish the family run La Mexicanada Restaurant continued success. After 9 years of backbreaking hard work and a strong devotion to their customers and paisanos they deserve nothing less. The food is 100% authentic, the recipes are from the owner’s own family, who by the way are an “authentic” Mexican family still residing in “authentic” Mexico. Take the high road and stay classy La Mexicanada Viva La Mexicanada!

Love It!

Came here to review this local Bradford delight but everyone has it covered. The food is authentic, delicious and plentiful. The music and decor is awesome and I only left a couple stars off atmosphere because the place is small but also tightly packed. I believe this effects their service as well. While I was sitting almost back touching the table behind me, the food made up for this I assure you. Delicious! If you are in the area give it a try.
