Cactus Mexican Restaurant: A Taste of Guanajuato Blooming in Oshawa, Ontario.

A little piece of Mexico in every dish

They say Mexican food isn’t just eaten — it’s experienced. It’s in the smell of warm corn tortillas, in the spark of spice that awakens the senses, and in the comfort of knowing someone cooked with love. That’s the heart of Cactus Mexican Kitchen, a Mexican restaurant in Oshawa born from a Guanajuato family’s dream to share their story through flavour.

From the colorful streets of Guanajuato to the calm avenues of Oshawa, Ontario, our story began with a simple Sunday tradition: gathering around the table to share food, laughter, and stories. In every Mexican home, Sundays are sacred — a time when recipes are passed down, and every dish is made with care and soul.

That spirit became our mission: to bring a true taste of Mexico to Canada, one plate at a time.

Our Menu

From Guanajuato to Canada: a story seasoned with love

When we arrived in Canada, we realised something beautiful—Canadians love Mexican food, but most had never tasted it the way we grew up with it: homemade, warm, and full of stories. That’s how Cactus Mexican Restaurant in Oshawa, Canada, was born—out of the desire to create a space where everyone who visits feels like they’ve just stepped into Grandma’s house on a Sunday afternoon.

Every taco, every stew, every salsa carries a memory. From Grandma Meche’s secret touch to Doña Tere’s soulful recipes, we bring to your table the heart of traditional Mexican home cooking — no shortcuts, no imitations, just real flavor and family warmth.

More than food: an authentic Mexican experience

At Cactus Mexican Kitchen, we believe food is more than nourishment. It’s an emotion, a memory, a bridge between cultures and people.
