Californian approved. I almost knocked a star off for the tortillas (they don't seem to be housemade), but decided that would be way too picky since they were still good.

I had the roasted poblano, corn & cheese taco and the bean & cheese taco. The…More »

I've been meaning to try Japa Dog forever, but whenever I am near the cart I am either not hungry or don't have any cash.

So today I planned it, I left work early and rushed downtown hoping that the line up wouldn't be too long. I rounded the corner…More »

Mmm baguette. I never get to eat bread at home.

I've been intrigued by this cafe that's rated as the number one restaurant in Vancouver on Yelp, but I don't drink coffee & I don't work downtown so. I finally found an excuse to stop in this week - my…More »

See, the thing about Bandidas is that I hate tomatoes, but the food here is so good that I didn't even bother picking them out of the perfect guacamole or the walnut & salsa taco. The flavour combinations were just that well balanced.

Mmm proper tacos…More »

Nuba serves up the best tzatziki and tabbouleh I've ever had in my life. It's obvious that they are using proper labneh and not just straining organic yogurt like I am. The baba ganoush and falafel were well above par as well.

We got La Feast (veggie…More »

Sigh. Back down to 3 stars, just grabbed a couple of slices to go and they were so greasy that they soaked through the paper plate and got my desk all oily.

Stopped into this nice little open air falafel & shwarma place today for lunch & was pleasantly surprised to find that it was licensed (going out for lunch is disappointing if you don't get to sneak a beer).

I debated for a minute between ordering…More »

I decided to take myself out to lunch today instead of taking my chances with the hospital cafeteria (often the only vegetarian option is low quality overpriced unsatisfying pizza). There's really not much nearby and  I was planning to check out a a…More »

We used to get takeout from Sushi Maro all the time. It was always excellent quality for the price and when we'd go to pick it up there would be people dining in and the service would be friendly and efficient. We even ate in once ourselves and it…More »

I first stumbled across Fresh Slice one night when my husbot was out of town, I just grabbed a slice of their by the slice pizza, plain cheese. I snapped into attention when I realised that they had a proper garlic white sauce under the cheese blend.…More »
