better than in Mexico! lots of vegan options! - Edit
beautiful menu, great downtown location, fantastic owners, great staff and service (can get pretty busy in there though).
Read moreThey make a sick vegan burrito, and definitely try the guacamole! Also when its slower, they make the nicest pinacolada!
Just ask for vegan and the chef (Veronica) will impress you!
Pros: food is delicious, great people, best value for money
Cons: could use a makeover , needs more pinacolada

yes they can! - Edit
I've been here a couple times and the food is very very good. I usually dont go out for mexican if i can avoid it because in the past i found most things at resturants tased very similar and i could recreate it at home but Mex-I-Can raises above any mexican food i have ever had. On top of that almost anything can be veganized. Another plus for vegans the menu is CLEARLY labelled making it super easy and when you order a veganized item the staff know what you want whenm you say the vegan ___ which is great. The only down side is the service is super slow but on the plus side while you wait you can socialize with your party over some really good (and strong) margerittas.

The BEST Mexican food in Canada - Edit
My husband and I discovered this restaurant in January 2010 and we've since eaten there about 5 times (as of end of March!). The food is not only authentic and delicious (everything from the cactus salad to the guacamole, including the vegan gluten-free tamales and other dishes) but the chef will go out of her way to ensure that the dietary needs of her patrons are met. Seriously, it's difficult to eat out when on a vegan / gluten-free / soy-free / nut-free diet. This place is outstanding. Yes, the service is slow - yes, it takes time for the food to get to the table - and yes, the place could use a facelift (from the outside banner to the tables and lighting). But everything is made fresh, and you know what? This is a small, family-owned restaurant where many of the other patrons come from Central and South America. Need I say more? OH YEAH, Veronica (the chef) had me taste the Daiya cheese that VegNews has been raving about since early 2009. Mmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhh... Mex-I-Can....
Read moreThe only reason I'm not rating this restaurant as a 5 is because it also serves meat - therefore, in HappyCow terms, the best rating can only be 4 out of 5.
Pros: Quality of food, Vegan menu items, GLuten-free menu items
Cons: Slow service, Restaurant could use beautifying...
