50 Best Mexican Restaurants near North Vancouver

“Wow! That was awesome food and service! Thank you for hosting our traditional POSADA EXATEC VANCOUVER - Amigos y Familia. We truly enjoyed the night, the service was exceptional. Loved the cochinita and rajas tacos. The ponche was delicious and all the Mexican traditional water, my daughter loved the horchata.“

“Great authentic Mexican cuisine and service.“

“the food and the vibe were undeniably amazing. best tacos on the west coast!“

“Delicious food and a great atmosphere, especially if you visit on Friday when there’s live mariachi. I’ve been in to many Mexican restaurants, and this one comes really close to being authentic. The service was really good even in rush hours. I strongly recommend this place.“

“Food for one $50ish including tip.

Postive: Fantastic food. Fantastic beers that pairs well. Nice, clean, spacious decor. Outdoor seating available. Try everything..

Neg: sometime its gets so busy that they forget to make what you ordered (twice in one night). Waited 2 hours for one time.

But it was nice of them to give you free drinks for their mistake.

Food for thought: really good hispanic food, and gets busy quickly.“

“Tacos Dorados de papa It was just like being back home!“

“I ordered burritos for my wife and me, and they were absolutely delicious! It was our first time trying them, and we were really impressed. We’ll definitely be coming back again — they were so good I’m even planning to post a picture!“

“Cheap and cheerful. Service is wonderful. Friendly, fast! Hot fresh ingredients. Well done Chipotle 👏“

“oh, my new favorite place while in Vancouver. LOVE everything about this place!“

“Had a great experience at this taco spot, the food was delicious. One thing that would make it even better is a little more guidance for first-time visitors. Quick explanation from the staff could really help guests get the most out of the menu. Overall, though, the tacos were fantastic and I’d definitely come back!“

“Last visit:
I ordered this dish from the special menu, apparently a popular item. However I found the chicken stinky and old, even with the flavorful sauce I couldn’t finish the meal and left it half way.
Apparently the staff don’t have any authority or control over customer satisfaction or compensation offers, so they just said nothing is wrong with the food and expressed they are sorry. Not sure if I will try their food again.

First visit:
Lovely staff, nice and clean place, tasty dessert.
Will come back!“

“It’s good! Real authentic street tacos & more! Get the Hibiscus Water!“

“They are definitely busy on the weekends, but I understand why! Lots of people want to eat here and it’s due to the workers, atmosphere and most importantly food. I also really appreciate Maria & Catalina for accommodating me during my visit. I’m allergic to nuts and my meal came with it (i had no idea and usually i specify before i eat, but i forgot this particular day) and they re-made my food for me without hesitation and it came out pretty fast even thought I ordered the ribeye hash. Definitely stop by if you’re in the area!“

“¡Delicioso! Los jueves de super tostadas, totalmente recomendable 👌 La comida rica, los cócteles buenísimos.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

“Simplemente deliciosos!!! Y el chocolate tan rico como el de mi abuelita!!! 😋“

“Our go to when we visit the city! Delicious food!“

“Just had the chicken burrito made by Karan, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced — tender, well-seasoned chicken, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of spice. You can really tell it was made with care. Everything was wrapped up perfectly, and it held together without being soggy or dry. Easily one of the best burritos I’ve had in a while. Great job, Karan.“

“Great addition to the Granville strip. We enjoyed our time here. Recommend the Molcajete Mexicano and the Del Trompo a tu Trompa. Desserts including the churro were all fabulous. Portions were pretty decent and we were full and still had a big take away box. The server was such a sweetheart and really attentive. Will definitely be back and bring friends once covid is over.“

“amazing tasty authentic food“

“We had a reservation for four to celebrate a birthday, and about 30 minutes before our scheduled time the restaurant called to say they were fully booked and asked us to disregard our reservation. This was understandably frustrating, especially given the occasion. After expressing our concern, they checked with the manager and called back to apologize, explaining it was an internal issue and ultimately honored our reservation, which we appreciated.

While I had mentioned in advance that we were celebrating a birthday, it wasn’t acknowledged by the staff during our visit. It’s a small detail, but those little touches can really make a difference for special occasions.

That said, once we were seated, the overall experience was good. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and the value was excellent. With better communication and a bit more attention to special moments, this could easily be a standout spot.“

“I was very impressed and satisfied !!The service & the food was amazing. Raul made me feel right at home.“

“Was there last night and enjoyed some wonderful food and drinks. This place is and will be a winner in our community.“

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

“We ordered take away and the meal was delish! I have a very severe allergy and the staff were 100% in taking care of my order. Thanks for the yummy, and safe meal! 😊“

“Such amazing food and great staff made our visits amazing. An absolute go-to every time we are downtown. ♥️🤍“

“Todo delicioso, muy recomendable“

“🌮🌮🌮🌮 Great tacos before flying back to Montreal 🌮🌮🌮🌮“

“I think is one if the best places in vancouver to order carnitas, we ordered 500 gr of mixed carnitas and it came with a good amoumt of corn tortillas, green salsa, lime and pico de gallo, everything was pretty tasty, is not my first time ordering here, the flavour and service is great and pretty solid.“

“I've been here in Vancouver for 10 months, and since I arrived from Mexico I've missed "carnitas" and I finally found the best ones, here at arturos 2 go fraserview, they taste like Mexico.“

“This Mexican fast-food spot is a total gem! Their tacos are absolute standouts—fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic goodness.

The service here is equally impressive—staff are super friendly, quick to help, and genuinely seem happy to make your experience great. They’re happy to answer questions about the menu and even offer recommendations, which adds a nice personal touch.

Their house-made Mexican beverages are a must-try. From the refreshing horchata with its subtle cinnamon sweetness to the tangy, fruity agua fresca, every sip tastes like it’s straight from a local spot in Mexico—no artificial stuff, just pure, authentic flavor.

All in all, it’s a fantastic spot for a quick, delicious meal that doesn’t skimp on quality or authenticity. Highly recommend!“

“Was a great experience. We’ve gone there a few times…always good. I’ve had some normal restaurant mix ups with food. But they were attentive, apologetic and fix them. It happens. But would still recommend 💯“

“This place has one of the most incredible gourmet Mexican food you have never tasted before. Yes, the service it's a little bit slow but I guess good things take time. If this restaurant would have a nicer venue, (with a view). It could be competing with Gordon Ramsay steakhouse. Just saying. The food is amazing!“

“You guys never fail to satisfy. I love your food. My only issue is that you’re so tight fisted with the green sauce. 😁“

“So tasty and delicious!! Authentic Mexican flavors!“

“I visited this place for my lunch on sunday afternoon and ordered pork and jackfruit tacos and it tasted so good. its really authentic mexican food. The girl was so nice and welcoming working there . Its small place but quality of food was great.“

“I've been in Vancouver for a couple of days and most Mexican restaurants don't have the same seasoning and don't taste good, but at La Reyna especially the tacos taste delicious and are very similar to those in Mexico, definitely my new favorite restaurant.

“The service was excellent, Lucy was very attentive from start to finish. The food was good; I would just recommend using a baguette for the torta ahogada so it’s more like a virote, and serving it in a deep plate. Everything else was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Authentic Mexican flavor. Their green chilaquiles are delicious, and the service is very friendly!“

“Los mejores tamales y pozole! En verdad tienen que probar, delicioso todo! Best pozole and tamales. You have to try them! Yummy 💯“

“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??😋“

“Great place on a Tuesday evening to go especially if you are a beginner to Salsa and like to learn a bit and dance with others too. During dance time you may be forgotten a bit by staff but you can always go to the bar and bartender n servers there will attend you.“

“amazing food. I'm from san Diego so I wasn't expecting 100% authentic Mexican food and I was NOT disappointed. the best way to describe my " bean and cheese burrito " is maybe "van-mex" 😀 not the same as here, but definitely just as good!!!(if not even better in some ways) I had barbacoa the second time I visited and it was just right. there's a very good reason the line was out the door. visit with an open mind and I can assure you that you wont be disappointed.“

“Great authentic food and wonderful margaritas“

“Excellent food and service. We will definitely go back when we visit Vancouver again.“

“I've been here in Vancouver for 10 months, and since I arrived from Mexico I've missed "carnitas" and I finally found the best ones, here at arturos 2 go fraserview, they taste like Mexico.“

“Start with the chicharrones, super crunchy, tajin-dusted, and way too easy to snack on. But the real star? The corn bread. Warm, sweet, and paired with that melted burnt onion butter. Their breakfast plates are hearty, flavourful, and hit the spot.

• Chicharrones - fried pork cracklin', tajin dusted
• Pan De Maize - sweet warmed corn bread, burnt onion butter
• Argentino Scramble - two eggs scrambled, chorizo, chimichurri, pickled onions, serrano chili, home fries, served with sourdough toast for one 3 flour tortillas for the other
• Chorillana Chilena - breakfast hash, two sunny side up eggs, home fries, strips of beef, chorizo, caramelized onions, tomatoes, jack cheese, chipotle sauce
• Florentino Scramble - two eggs scrambled, spinach, caramelized onions, feta, home fries, sourdough toast“

“I recently visited El Comal Mexican Foods and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. The food was fresh, flavourful, and served quickly. The tacos had the perfect balance of seasoning and texture—nothing soggy, nothing dry, just delicious.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the place had a relaxed, cozy vibe that made the experience even better. Prices were reasonable, portions were generous, and you can tell they put care into what they serve.

I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone craving great tacos done right! 🌮✨“

“The food is delicious and the place is beautiful, service needs to be improved though.“

“nos encantan las tortillas chips "el comal" las regulares y ahora tambien las de chipotle. totalmente recomendadas“
