2. Cobre
Vancouver, BC V6A 1E7
(604) 669-2396
Category:
Latin American
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
It's almost a more posh way of presenting Latin American food and they really want you to know it (for their website even says "you won't find oversized sombreros, neon cacti, or Pepi Gonzalez. This is a kitsch-free zone."
When we went there, our…More »
3. Don Guacamole's
Vancouver, BC V6E 1C6

Categories:
Mexican,
Latin American
Neighbourhood: West End
4 stars for my food (a burrito)!
The food tasted really delicious and my chicken burrito in verde salsa was quite filling. The chips and salsa in the beginning served at the table were delicious. They serve them with 3 salsas, all of which have a…More »
4. El Barrio Restaurante Latino
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V4
(604) 569-2220
Categories:
Mexican,
Latin American
Neighbourhood: Grandview-Woodlands
The owner of this restaurant was really accommodating when it came to hosting a potentially large party here. My party didn't end up being as large as I expected it to but I was impressed with the Luis' (the owner) enthusiasm of having us.
The food…More »
5. Duffin's Donuts

Categories:
Chinese,
Doughnuts,
Vietnamese
Neighbourhoods: Sunset, Kensington-Cedar Cottage
A Mexican friend of mine told me I had to go here as this was the only place in Vancouver you can find authentic Mexican torta sandwiches. So I finally went today and got the most Mexican sounding one: Machaca--shredded spicy beef sandwich. It was…More »
6. Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant
I used to think this place was really bad, until I tested out some other latin american restaurants around in Vancouver. See, I grew up in NW U.S.A where we get pretty good Mexican food for really cheap and even some really authentic foods. But now…More »
7. Red Burrito
I am a fan because I, unlike some others who seem to have tried this place, have lowered my standards for Canadian Mexican food. I thought it was well known that Vancouver's Mex/tex-mex food scene was sub par compared to those south of the border.…More »

Went here for lunch the other days for some quick, cheap eats. The prices are decent and it fills… Read more »
8. West Valley
This is probably my favorite grocery shopping place on Davie. They have relatively cheap produce, especially for the west end. And it's pretty decent quality. They have a decent selection of dry goods too. And they have a good size of fresh meat,…More »
9. La Casa del Artista
Vancouver, BC V5T 1C8
(604) 709-4300
Category:
Music Venues

Great show last Friday! They're very interactive with the audience and I always have a blast when I go.
And again, the tacos are so delicious! Can't stress that enough.

10. Tita's Mexican Restaurant
After several recommendations from locals (by the way of online forums) and other review, I decided to go here with our group when we came to Courtenay. From the outside, you can tell that Tita's is a diamond in the rough. It's such a cute building…More »
11. Jalapenos Mexican Family Restaurant
I think Jalapenos' will be my regular Mex food stop in Bellingham from now on when I venture down south. The food here was pretty good and their patio was great on a hot summer's day. The fresh fruit margaritas were delicious! I've never had a…More »
12. El Rancho - CLOSED
For Vancouver-style Mexican, this place is pretty decent. We ordered take out from there so it wasn't the best quality because it got a little cold. But taking that into consideration, the chicken burrito I ordered was actually pretty decent. It…More »
13. El Furniture Warehouse - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L3
(604) 677-8080
I think this is one of the few places that I've been to that I would actually consider a "hole in the wall!" But in a good way. It gives the place its charm. Also went here as a part of a pub crawl. I had something called a Lazy Boy lager. I only…More »
14. Andale's Mexican Restaurant
I hate giving bad reviews. It makes me feel mean.
But the food here was really gross. I ordered enchiladas verdes with pork) and my dinner companion ordered a pork burrito. The verde salsa was not green (verde=green en espanol). It was brown. It…More »
15. Lolita's South of the Border Cantina
I've had this place in my Bookmarks for ages! Since I became Elite in 2009! It's a cute, small venue but the service is great. We got seated right away at the bar and our bartender was very friendly and on the ball with our drinks.
My friend an I had…More »
