The best Mexican restaurants in town

Fall is in full swing and we’re celebrating with coffee, pumpkin spice and delicious baking.

However, sometimes it can be hard to let go of summer weather, and while you can’t get it back, you can still have the next best thing.

One of the best parts of Kelowna is that our city has so many amazing multicultural restaurants, including some mouth-watering Mexican fare.

Check out the best Mexican restaurants in town, as voted by you and brought to you by Secure-Rite Mobile Storage.

Bronze - Cantina del Centro

Let our bronze medal winner Cantina Del Centro transport you to the streets of Mexico with their flavourful menu and next-level cocktails.

They have perfected the formula for authentically unique and great-tasting Mexican street food.

With appetizer options like cantina nachos, pico de gallo and diablo wings, along with your favourite Mexican entrees including enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas and of course, burritos, you’re going feel like you’re getting the full experience.

The delicious food paired with their unbeatable craft cocktail service and friendly, eccentric atmosphere makes Cantina del Centro a Kelowna must-try.

If you want to try a taste of Mexico, head over to 271 Bernard Ave and prepare to be blown away.

Silver - El Taquero

What started out as taco nights for friends has turned into a multi-time Best of Kelowna winner.

The owner, Izzy, decided to open this unique and inviting restaurant in 2015 after spending years sharing the flavours of his hometown, Mexico City, with his friends while hosting taco nights.

El Taquerol offers are inspired by traditional Mexican street-side taco stands, and incorporate many of Izzy’s family recipes. You’re not going to find these high standards in flavour and technique anywhere else in town.

Their menu represents a mosaic of regions and flavours, blending traditional Mexican flavours with fan-requested dishes.

Pair any of their delicious tacos with a freshly shaken margarita and you have a great night on your hands.

To check out this silver medal winner, make your way to 1443 Ellis St.

Gold - Hector's Casa Authentic Mexican Cuisine

Our gold medal winner has won Best Mexican Restaurant for eight years straight, and what else would you expect from a locally owned, family-run, 100% authentic restaurant!?

Anyone who’s been to Hector’s Casa won’t be surprised they took the gold again this year, but if you haven’t had the pleasure of trying out one of their amazing menu items you’re in for a treat.

The eatery has been an established Kelowna restaurant since 1999, originally created by Hector and his wife Laurie.

After 20 years of proudly serving the community, in 2019 they sold the restaurant to Mario and Martha, a Mexican couple born and raised in the central Pacific coast of Mexico.

Hector’s Casa serves a variety of authentic Mexican meals, desserts and of course, next-level margaritas.

Our gold medal winner is located at 2911 Pandosy St, so head over and prepare for the best Mexican fare you’ll find in Kelowna.
