About Ivanopoblano

IvanoPoblano is an organic Mexican restaurant located in the Old South neighbourhood on Wharncliffe Rd S, serving the London community. The establishment operates out of a heritage house featuring an open kitchen, allowing guests to watch the cooking process while they dine. The restaurant offers both dine-in and takeout options, focusing on authentic Mexican cuisine made from scratch using fresh, organic, and locally sourced ingredients. The menu features a variety of traditional and unique dishes, including tacos, tortas, tortivanos, and mole enchiladas. Breakfast items, available until 4pm, include huevos rancheros, chilaquiles, and the Ivano egg scramble. Appetizers such as queso fundido, guacamole, and various dips are also available, along with desserts like Mexican chocolate bread pudding. The beverage selection includes organic teas, coffee, and various beers and wines, as well as signature drinks like the Tequila Agua Fresca. The restaurant notes that its corn and keto dishes are gluten-free, and it uses Quebec old cheddar which is naturally lactose-free. The business grew from Canada's first organic Mexican food truck. It is led by Ivano, who manages the kitchen, and Christopher, who handles the front of the house. Ivano draws on his Mexican roots and his mother's teachings to create a menu that emphasizes flavor and personal authenticity rather than strict tradition. The restaurant operates on a first-come, first-served basis and does not accept reservations.
