" A great addition to the Strathcona area. Good drinks! Delicious food! Amazing vibe! Wonderful people. Go check it out! "
Welcome to El Cafesito By Mexicanada — a vibrant, family-owned Mexican café tucked into Edmonton's historic Old Strathcona neighbourhood, just steps from Whyte Avenue. Opened in early 2026, our café was born from a deep love for Mexican coffee culture, street food and the warmth of a Mexican kitchen at home. From your first sip of Café de Olla, our goal is to bring a little corner of México to Edmonton.
Our menu is a celebration of authentic Mexican flavours — traditional Café de Olla brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo, espresso-based drinks, rich Mexican Hot Chocolate (Choco-latito), and a kitchen of beloved street food and pan dulce. Guests return for our signature chilaquiles, street tacos, burritos, slow-cooked tamales, gorditas de nata and freshly baked conchas — every dish rooted in family recipes and prepared with care.
Run by Miryam and the Mexicanada familia, El Cafesito is more than a café — it is a cultural bridge between México and Cánada. Our interior is lovingly decorated with Mexican artistry, our team welcomes every guest like family, and our space is built for everything from a quiet morning café de olla to private bookings, catering and community gatherings in the heart of Old Strathcona.
From Café de Olla and Mexican Hot Chocolate to chilaquiles, tacos, tamales and freshly baked conchas, our menu celebrates real Mexican café culture — every dish rooted in family recipes and prepared in-house in Old Strathcona.
Step inside a space lovingly decorated with Mexican cultural elements — colourful artistry, traditional touches and the aromas of cinnamon, chocolate and fresh masa — designed to transport you straight to México from the heart of Whyte Avenue.
Run by Miryam and the Mexicanada familia, we welcome every guest like family — for dine-in, takeout, online ordering, catering and private bookings across Edmonton.
