bmc market

hands down best mexicanfoodin the city

excelente! the bmc market is very close to becoming a weekly stop of mine. during numerous trips to mexico i've ate at many restaurants where the locals eat but thefoodat bmc is still some of the best authentic mexican i've ever tasted. the tacos (4 options to choose from) are packed with flavour and are served on corn tortillas that are hand-rolled by the lovely ladies. the chorizo and pork are a must and the fresh pico works well as a side option. great prices, large serving portions and friendly staff make this place a go to!

homemade food, from people who definitely grew up with similar cuisine. i have to imagine that when traveling in mexico, you couldn't taste the difference between thatfoodand what is offered here. plus 3 tacos for 5$? cant beat that! been a few times and probably will go a bunch more!

geat!. we tried this place after reading some of the reviews and weren't disappointed. delicious toppings, you can pick your own sauce and the freshest tortilla shells i've ever had. made right in front of me.

we timed it right so were able to grab a table, but be prepared to take yourfoodto go if you don't. i plan on going back many times.

mixed review. the jury is out on this one, for a number of reasons.

here are the good things about bmc market:

it has a great location in a cute little building on south osborne. you can't miss the bright blue and inviting colours! it is very accessible by bus and car, but be prepared to park on the street.

the warm soft shelled tacos are soooo good. they are perfectly sized to be held in your hand and enthusiastically eaten.

the price is incredibly reasonable! $5.00 for three, yes, three well-stuffed, filling tacos. lunch, including a drink, taxes and a tip was easily under $10.00. where else can you get that kind of excellent taste and value for the money?

bmc market is not a chain. (i am very supportive of that.) everything is made by hand from fresh ingredients. quality is clearly a priority.

the staff is very hard working, and friendly.

the not so impressive things:

it was our first time there, and we weren't sure what to do. nobody greeted us. patrons were standing around. i asked someone, and the menu is written on the left hand wall--not seen when we entered. you place your order at the counter, find yourself a seat, and wait. signage to that effect would have been useful.

the room was warm and humid. there was an air conditioner, but it didn't seem to make much difference.

bmc is very popular, so it took a while at a saturday lunchtime for a table to become available. we were concerned that ourfoodwould arrive before that, but we did not have to worry. likewise, because it was busy, it was louder than what we would have preferred.

an initial disappointment was that there were only 3 taco selections. you can mix and match, or have the same variety for your meal. that's a great option. unfortunately, the sole vegetarian selection was unavailable. the suggested alternative was chips and salsa. that was not what i was hoping for, but we did not wish to go anywhere else. happily though, the veggie mushroom taco, made with generous chunks of green pepper, cilantro and cream became a possibility again, so i had that. it was tasty and filling, but messy. the "medium" salsa was runny and could have been hotter. it was barely mild to my taste.

my friend had the barbecue, pastor, chorizo tacos which she enjoyed. neither of us thought we could eat the big servings, but somehow we managed. ;-)

the mango soft drink was delicious!

there are some people who really love this authentic mexican gem. it's nice to see that a local ethnic eatery being so successful. i am glad we tried it out.

in my opinion, this place is overrated. i have been twice but both times i did takeout. maybe thefoodis better if you eat in restaurant.

i like that they use corn wraps instead of flour. it makes the experience more authentic. i also think the portions offoodare a great value for the price.

however, personally i found thefoodsomewhat bland. it was not favourless but it also wasn't amazing or anything to write home about. mainly i did not appreciate the topping to tortilla ratio (it needed more meat imo).

is it a good restaurant? yes.

is it the best taco place in winnipeg? definately not

went to bmc for the first time today and wow! the quality of thefoodwas incredible as were the price and the service. we split the two can dine special with barbacoa and pastor. the authentic flavour was delicious; no crazy cheese or overly spicy heat, even with the hot salsa. the barbacoa was tender and perfect, and the pastor was sweet and smoky. definitely the best place in town for real mexican tacos!

what can i say about this authentic and quaint little place. you are greeted by the owner betty, who incidentally remembers your order from last time, and she is wonderful. thefoodhas never disappointed me yet.

thefoodis made fresh everyday, i recommend the tacos....3 for $5.00....yes that was not a misprint!

bmc is a small mexican restaurant/market located across from safeway/husky in south osborne.

this place has the cheapest tacos in the city: 3 tacos for $5. what a deal!

i do find that the menu is quite limited. there are only a few selections to pick from. at my most recent visit, i had the beef, chicken, pork tacos and a bowl of tortilla soup. thefoodwas alright...the soup was mostly filled with broth, which was kind of disappointing.

i don't think i will go out of my way to come here again but if it's on the way, i'll definitely come back simply the deal is too hard to pass up on!

as somebody who is partially mexican, i was always looking for a place in this city that could offerfoodclose to what i have had in mexico. somehow i didn't know about this place until now, and finally gave it a try. it is amazing, and quite authentic tasting. thefoodcame out really quickly, and everything i tried was amazing. would definitely recommend to anybody looking for some great mexican food!

i'm personally not a fan of tex-mex, so i was pleasantly surprised that that was not what bmc market offered. not only is the 3 tacos for five dollars a great value, it's​ also likely the best tacos that winnipeg has to offer. you're not gonna get a million things on these tacos, but what you will get is a homemade tortilla that's filled with your choice of well seasoned meats. if you're not sure what to get, the staff are all very friendly and very helpful with the menu. so if you're a fan of homemadefoodwith a lot of soul, definitely check this place out.

great lunch spot. cannot beat the price andfoodalways tastes fresh. good selection of sodas as well. if you're in a pinch for time, but don't want to do fastfoodthis is a great alternative.

if it were possible to give bmc market a higher score i would. this place is simply wonderful!!!  it's a charming family run business offering authentic mexicanfoodthat is consistently excellent and at very reasonably prices.  it's a friendly and casual place with unpretentious decor and it's  not uncommon to have conversation between tables with jovial toasts to the chefs. i'm very glad to see bmc market is getting the recognition they deserve.

we've wanted to try this place out for years, but finally got around to it last night. awesome mexican food! this is not a fancy place by any means, but thefoodis great! depending on what type you choose, 3 tacos will run you either $5 or $6.99. either one is great value for your money. i had the braised beef tacos, and there had to be more than $5 worth of beef in them alone!. flavor was delicious. i also had a great bowl of pozole soup. my wife loved her chicken tacos, with a side of chips and pico.

we'll be back frequently!

fantastic flavours! super cheap! i lovefoodhere. the menu is small but has variety in flavour. thefoodcomes out fast and there is plenty of seating. i have been getting the quesadillas because i love how the cheese goes with all the fillings.
