1. Salsa & Agave Mexican Grill
Vancouver, BC V6Z 2R6
(604) 408-4228
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
Caveat: authentic Mexican food is not vegetarian. And before I became vegetarian, I had only ever had tex-mex or cal-mex food. So on a certain level, I don't know what I'm talking about.
I did, however, spend a number of years living in Philadelphia,…More »
2. La Taqueria
Vancouver, BC V6B 1K6
(604) 568-4406
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Downtown
It's taken me a while to review this place, primarily because my first experience was actually not that great. Everyone was raving, though, so I wanted to try it again to be sure. Experience number two was excellent. And I've been back a few times…More »
3. Hernande'z
This place is pretty great. Was taken there by a dear friend during a recent weekend in Victoria. I was craving Mexican food, but hadn't mentioned it, because I didn't know if it could be satisfactorily filled in our provincial capital. Lucky me - it…More »
4. Las Margaritas Mexican Restaurant
Full disclosure: I have been eating at Las Margaritas since I was kid, long before I had any idea what real Mexican food tasted like; I am biased by nostalgia.
We are definitely talking about Tex-Mex here, emphasis on the tex. But sometimes a girl…More »
5. Bandidas Taqueria
Vancouver, BC V5N 4C5
(604) 568-8224
Categories:
Mexican,
Vegetarian,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
I've been avoiding this place since it opened. For a really snotty, potentially trivial reason. (What can I say, I'm snotty and potentially trivial!) That reason is: I object to their use of the word taqueria.
I'm a vegetarian, so I appreciate that…More »
6. La Cantina Mexican Grill - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V6Z
(604) 899-4554
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Yaletown
I really wanted to be able to give this place a better review. Scratch that. Before I'd ever entered, I wanted to give this place a lousy review; what business did La Cantina have opening up less than a block away from my beloved Salsa & Agave? But,…More »
7. Me and Julio - CLOSED
Vancouver, BC V5N 4B1
(604) 696-9997
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Having a really hard time grasping how this place has 2.5 stars in this city, especially on Commercial Drive. I mean, I know there isn't a lot of great Mexican in town, but surely we can do better than this?
1) It's way too loud. My friend and I…More »

My Drive (16)My loves and loathes in the neighbourhood I call home. |
'Zza! (8)I love flatbreads with sauce, and toppings and cheese melted on them. I'm also pretty picky about them. |
Primping and Pampering (5)Sometimes a girl just needs to be spoiled. Some picks (and pans) among the city's many purveyors of pamper. |
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. (9)I'm a huge fan of the three Rs. Here are some great local businesses that either sell pre-loved goods, or help you make the most of the things you already own. |
Le Tour de Poutine (5)Fries. Cheese curds. Gravy.Since moving back to Vancouver, I've sampled the handful of establishments claimed by others to serve Vancouver's "best" poutine. Three of them were sampled in a whirlwind "tour de poutine" when a poutine-loving friend visited from Sweden. |
