Talavera Mexican Coffee Shop

The food was delicious, so good in fact I decided to leave a review. We got Al Pastor and Quesabirria tacos. We also got the 3 lèche cake, which was 10/10. The staff were incredibly friendly and we will 1000% be back. Thank you!

Just got back from Mexico and was missing it. Ended up walking down when my car was in the shop.

Enchiladas were really good, super fresh. The red green sauce had a really nice contrast and the latte was very good

Vancouver is one of the few cities where you can find authentic food on par without needing to travel

A small Mexican coffee shop serves a variety of coffee and traditional Mexican dishes. They service quite a few desserts too. The shop is tidy and clean.

Very weird vibes if you are from the community lgbtq+
I went with my partner a couple weeks ago and I felt judged by the ladies working there. Very hostile environment. We decided to not order

Came here for brunch with my family to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and overall it was just… okay. The biggest issue was the customer service. The girls working there came off pretty rude and honestly a bit cliquey.

We ordered coffees and asked for one to be “kids temp,” which is a super normal request anywhere. The cashier kind of giggled and said “well, we’ll try.” Then we watched about 7 people who ordered after us get their drinks first. We eventually had to go up and ask about it, and another girl just said “we just have a lot of orders,” and we still waited another 10 minutes.

Same vibe when we ordered food. we asked for cilantro on the side for the birria tacos because of an allergy, and again got giggles instead of just a simple acknowledgment.

Food-wise, it was fine. The birria tacos weren’t anything special, but the lemon pancakes were actually good.

I honestly wish I had checked reviews beforehand because it seems like the customer service issue is a pattern here. The attitude alone would make me not come back.

Good day.

I would like to bring to your attention an incident that occurred today, April 7, 2026, at around 10:30 AM at your Main Street branch.

The female service crew on duty displayed inappropriate behavior and poor customer service, particularly towards food delivery drivers like myself. I politely requested a replacement for a drink tray, as the one provided is unstable and not in original shape because she cut in half and has tendency the drinks will spill. However, her response came across as rude and unprofessional.

I hope this matter can be addressed accordingly. Such behavior does not reflect well on the good image of your restaurant, especially in how delivery personnel are treated.

Thank you for your attention to this concern.

I sat outside in the sun last year - it was the best eating experience I've had in Vancouver in way too long a time. The
service was perfect, the beer was cold, and the chilie relleno was
amazing - a lot of food! By far the best Mexican food I've had in this city - highly recommended!

The dishes and coffee all had a very distinct Mexican flavour profile to them. The lemon pancakes had an incredible creamy curd on them. Chilaquiles with salsa Verde is a classic. The sauce is yummy but the dish was not hot enough when it arrived. Horchata latte was very tasty, blended the cinnamon with the espresso flavour profiles really well. Atmosphere was very chill with Mexican music playing that didn't feel too noisy. Dishware is very pretty as well. 100% recommended overall.
