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 💯

Amazing food and excellent service in a cozy space on Granville Island. Food and drink are lovingly made, with creativity and heart.

A celebration of Mexico's diverse food and drink landscape.

I will be back for sure! Whether you are visiting for the first time, or a returning diner, you are sure to find something you enjoy at Alimentaria Mexicana.

The food was excellent. The service was slow, but the quality food totally made up for it. The kids ordered carne asada tacos, and we had their leftovers. Very delicious! We got the braised short rib in mole, and it was phenomenal.
