I have been going here for years. The food is excellent, authentic and the staff are amazing! I suspect with their going viral recently has led to some reviews which are not real but an attempt by mediocre establishments to have their clients return??😋
Seriously delicious and super friendly staff! Love this place!
For me, the best Mexican restaurant in all Vancouver

Taqueria Playa Tropical offers authentic Mexican food that many customers find delicious and satisfying. The restaurant is especially busy around dinner time, and its popularity means there can be a wait to get seated. The food menu includes favorites like burritos, tacos, and enchiladas, which are highly praised. Customers appreciate the affordable tacos at $3 each and enjoy the homemade salsas and variety of drinks, including margaritas. Some dishes, such as tacos with birria and champinones, are highly recommended for an authentic experience. The large sitting area makes it comfortable for diners, although the decor is simple and the venue can be tight, with no air conditioning in some areas. Service can be slow during busy times, especially if ordering through Uber or Doordash, with wait times sometimes reaching an hour outside rush hours. Delivery orders occasionally miss items like corn tortillas. Customers also mention that the place feels authentic and reminiscent of Mexican eateries in Mexico, with friendly staff who are Mexican. However, some are disappointed that they don’t have Mexican glass Coca-Cola, and the mango margarita is made from mango juice boxes, which affects the taste. Despite these minor issues, many enjoy the tacos, tortas, enchiladas, and other dishes, finding the food flavorful and affordable. The place's authentic and unpretentious vibe makes it a popular spot for Mexican food lovers.
