I gotta give these guys five stars.
The staff are so friendly, and hail from Mexico (kinda scary sometimes when you see a white guy in the kitchen... just sayin...?)

The Paradillas Burrito is my go-to take out order on the way home from work.…More »

Most authentic Tacos in Vancouver!

I totally agree with Geoff G's take on Dona Cata. The service is a bit slack but they are super busy, so you can't blame them for little hiccups.
My sisters fiance was born and raised in Mexico and regularly drives…More »

Well reviewed here...
Perhaps I caught them on a bad day? But my tacos were pretty bland. I did like the array of sauces (including guac) along the wall, but I had to lather on the flavours to give them some Umpf.

I will try again.

Sounds like the 50 cents Interac fee is no more!

I would hate to be a business owner and have to pay all the Visa/Interac fees caused by non cash carrying people like myself. But, I guess that's the price of business.

Oh well. Glad to hear I can eat…More »
