Guelaguetza Restaurant & Grill

What is Guelaguetza Restaurant & Grill? Located on Jane Street just north of Weston Road, Guelaguetza Restaurant & Grill delivers homestyle Oaxacan and central Mexican cooking to the Weston neighbourhood. Run by husband-and-wife team Fernando and Erika—hailing from Guanajuato and Oaxaca respectively—the unassuming dining room is casual and unfussy, styled with simple tables and warm family hospitality. It operates as a community staple dedicated to regional classics, handmade masa preparations, and slow-simmered guisados.

Guelaguetza Restaurant & Grill Menu & What to Order The kitchen specializes in Oaxacan and Veracruz-style comfort food, led by massive tlayudas mixtas loaded with quesillo, refried black beans, cecina, and chorizo. Standouts include rich chicken mole oaxaqueño, banana leaf-wrapped tamales, crisp empanadas jarochas, and comforting bowls of hominy-rich pork pozole. Pair your plate with house-made agua de horchata, fresh agua de jamaica, or a spiced michelada, with plenty of vegetarian options available across the huarache and sopes selections.

Know Before You Go While reservations can be arranged by phone, walk-in dining is standard and tables turn over at a steady pace. Street and plaza parking are available nearby along Jane Street, and the TTC 35 Jane bus stops steps from the front door. The restaurant operates seven days a week, opening with extended hours Tuesday through Saturday and running popular weekend food specials.
