Eating Mexican in Vancouver
See All Lists
1. El Comal
Heaven off the beaten path
You will need persistence to get there. A GPS might help. El Comal is not really a restaurant, it's a plant where they make some of the best corn tortillas north of Mexico. But they do have a small deli, with extremely…More »
2. Salsa & Agave Mexican Grill
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2R6

Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
As close to Mexico as you get in Vancouver.
This is one of our two favourite Mexican restaurants in Vancouver. When you walk in the door, one of the first things you notice if that it's often filled with Mexicans. That's a good sign when picking a…More »
3. La Taqueria
Taco heaven!
Not fancy.Not the nicest part of town. But damn, their tacos are good! The Taqueria is all about tacos, and they have an excellent variety. And it was filled with Mexican customers which is always a good sign that a restaurant is…More »
4. Calli Restaurante Mexicano
Great business people listen . . .
And respond. After my last visit, I commented that the frijoles were bland and tasteless. I returned today, ordered the Chicken Tamal again, and this time really enjoyed the frijoles. Turns out that after receiving…More »

Mexican

One of our stand-bys for great tacos.
As most reviewers have already commented, the service is not good. Slowly, but surely you will be served.
Look up from your table towards the kitchen, and you will see a counter with several bowls -- all of them…More »

Great stop for a traditional Mexican Torta

I'm sorry. . .
If anyone has gone to Don Guacamoles based on my earlier rave review and been disappointed I'm sorry.The last three times we have been there the service and food has grown progressively worse. I was hoping it would improve, but it has…More »

About as good as it gets this side of the border!
I am NOT Mexican. Unless I am Mexican I doubt that… Read more »
8. Charlie's Cafe
Great food, slow and usually bad service
The food here is always great. Unfortunately we've always had slow, poor service. Don't go here if you need to be in and out in an hour -- they won't be rushed.
The last time we went, the waitress brought us…More »

Rooms with a View (7)You might forgive these places if they lack a bit in food or service - in my mind, their views rock. |
Wall of shame . . . (3)Run away! Run away quickly! |
Breakfast & Brunch (7)I'm not a morning person, so my list of morning places grows slowly. Keep checking back - I'm on a mission to find the ultimate brunch. It might just take a while. |
Where we go when we're looking for "comfort food" (5)We've pretty much memorized these menus.Sometimes we want to get out, adventure and try new places. Other times, we just want something familiar and comforting. These are our all time favorite "not into trying something new" places. |
Buried Treasures (14)I would never have found them if not by accident. I'm glad I found them. |
