Luis Hernandez Restaurant

Underated and super cozy Mexican restaurant in the Cabbagetown area. They have a main menu and a brunch menu that is available until 4 pm. We opted for the brunch option which is a 3 course prix fixe menu along with either tea or coffee at $25 per person. We ordered the fruit mix cup and fruit salad with granola and each had a Cafe de olla to start. For mains we had the Huevos a la Mexicana migas (recommended by the waitress) and the Monterrey Enchiladas. I preferred the former quite a bit. To finish we each had the Carlota (lime flavours). Everything was tasty, well presented, elevated and bursting with flavour. Portion size is generous for the prix fixe menu cost. If you like a bit of heat, you should try their house made hot sauce which is freshly prepared on a daily basis. It's out of this world and has a lovely smoky taste. It's available to purchase in the restaurant if you can't get enough of it like myself. They also have a separate take out and delivery spot separate from the restaurant that has been operating for many years. The dining space at Luis H has been open for about 2 years and what a pleasant surprise it was for us to stumble upon this spot.

Luis H is such a delightful restaurant. The ambiance is quite intimate with maybe 5-8 tables spread out across the tastefully decorated space. The service matches this vibe as the lady who took care of us was very caring and considerate. Come here for all this but stay for the food!! The Mexican cuisine at play here is just wonderful. I especially enjoyed the Quesabirria, the Al Pastor taco and the Barbacoa taco. The fish tacos were also very good. What can I say, they just do a really good job here. Highly recommended !!

This place was an unexpected surprise. The food was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor! I started with a quesabirria and was blown away by how flavorful and cheesy it was - I could've had two portions all by myself. Then I had the chicken enchiladas and again, they were so full of flavor and so delicious! I finished off with the deconstructed tres leches cake - perfectly sweet and creamy with bursts of berry flavor from the fresh blueberries and raspberry jam - amazing! The only thing that was missing for me was coffee or tea to pair with the cake. Otherwise, this was one of the most delicious places I've been to recently.

I didn’t expect everything to taste soo good. Each dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. The Chicken Enchiladas and Quesabirria were outstanding. Really enjoyed the tender, juicy Carne Asada and Shrimp tacos as well. Such a cozy, chic atmosphere to dine in.

This place has flavours beyond expectations, anybody visiting here for just a taco or quesadilla, be ready to indulge themselves in a very beautiful journey of flavours. This place just blew my mind with some very delicate, intriguing and indulging flavours. It is not an ordinary taco place and is not anywhere close to it, beyond and above expectations. Loved it!

Looks like a new place, very clean and almost felt like fine dining for Mexican food. We ordered the black tiger shrimp ceviche tostado (good), the black tiger shrimp tacos (very good), the Acapulco fish tacos (very good), the vegetarian taco (good) and the home made hibiscus iced tea (very good). Service was very good but I’d say the prices were quite steep for the quantity/quality. There wasn’t much parking available either incl street parking but overall decent experience.

Affordable fine dining Mexican food made with super fresh ingredients. Dish may look small but surprisingly filling; texture and flavours were top notch. The staff was friendly and attentive, they overheard us commenting on one of our dishes and the chef prepared a new order on the house to ensure we were satisfied (honestly, for the record I thought the seasoning was great) - this level of service and attention is unmatched. Would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu.
