Ole! I say! An authentic Mexican restaurant on Robson Street? No way!  With big screen TVs broadcasting Fox World Sports (looked like soccer to me) and tune-age reminiscent of a tequila sunrise, I knew I was in for a treat.

If your name is Guacamole,…More »

So, perhaps I built up too much enthusiasm over the amazing sounding creations on the menu because when my Hick's Benny arrived with a side of *yawn* beans and overcooked poached eggs, I felt a wave of disappointment. Where was all of the kick I was…More »

This is heaven sent. Rushing around over lunch time, a grumbling stomach, I popping into a little piece of tacky Mexico for some sustenance.

I ordered a chicken burrito to go. While I waited I sipped on a horchata which was perfectly cinnamon…More »

Ah, lay back, let the wind whip through your hair, smell the salty air, dip your toes in the ocean...ah Mexico.

For two years I have walked by this shop and have obviously never noticed it because today when I went in, I thought it was brand new! How have I missed out on samples of tortillas and salsa, guacamole, hummus, tzatziki, sauces and drink mixes?

They…More »

I'm a little self conscious around my Mexican friends. I am worried they will not be blown away by La Taqueria. So yes we scoffed at the high price of a taco, when compared with our southern friends. But it was pretty clear to see by the plateS of…More »
