Guelph

About the restaurant

The word ‘Miijidaa’ is from the Ojibway language that loosely translates to “let’s eat”. It's a celebration of our roots, foods, wine + brews; a chance to showcase cuisines that influenced our culinary landscape and to show off our northern bounty.

There are many influences in what has come to define "Canadian" cuisine starting with the First Nations, followed by the influences of the French, English, Vikings, Portuguese and more. Our menu is a modern take on our northern gastronomic history with each cuisine and tradition inspiring the tapestry of our culinary landscape that we hope to celebrate on our menu.

About the restaurant

WELCOME TO THE MULE.

We’re not your traditional Mexican place. We just happen to think that tacos are a dish best served fun, with a side of liquor. Welcome to The Mule, where tacos, tequila and bourbon come to play.

Located in one of Cambridge's most treasured spaces, we think we’ll be your new favourite lunch spot, your regular late-night haunt and your go-to destination for a good drink. Our bartenders have crafted a bourbon- and tequila-focused cocktail menu that will surprise and fascinate, and we also have a variety of beers on tap.

And don’t forget the food. From baja wings to Brussels Sprouts tacos, chef Matthew Kershaw’s menu offers an approachable and fresh twist on your favourite flavours from way down south. Our tacos range from classic Mexican to weird-and-wild-you’ve-gotta-try-this. All of our food is 100% gluten-free and we offer a variety of fare that is sure to delight your vegetarian and vegan side.

Dedicated GF kitchen was the deciding factor for my Birthday dinner! The staff! Right from the host station to the dessert all the staff were absolutely amazing. Friendly and fun. They were fantastic! Just got the staff alone I would come back! The food was absolutely amazing and so fresh. We ordered the queso and chips, bang bang chicken and three tacos to split between myself and hubby. It was so filling and so so tasty! The Bang Bang Chicken was so crispy and very well balanced. The sauce had just the right amount of heat. The tacos had great ingredients the tasted fresh and hot. The Nashville chicken taco crispy and had the right amount of sauce,slaw and heat. The chorizo taco was beautiful with a fun bit of potatoes for a smooth texture. The brisket taco was tender and juicy! Then the fact I could have DESSERT! Not many places have dessert I can eat but I will tell you the chocolate pot was a 10. Shared it with the hubby. Overall I will definitely make the drive up to eat here again!!! Thanks for making my birthday memorable!!
