Cuchillo is a restaurant known for its excellent service and memorable Latin food, making it one of the best in Vancouver. The team provides a warm and enjoyable dining experience, with staff described as extremely kind, friendly, and welcoming. The menu offers a variety of dishes, such as bean queso and chips, skirt steak tacos with blueberry jam, sea prawns, and lamb sirloin. Notably, the steak/blueberry taco stands out as a favorite among guests, with many describing the food as impressive and delicious. The blueberry steak taco is often praised as one of the best tacos ever had.
The restaurant features a stylish, vibrant atmosphere with unique décor that adds to its great vibe. It has a spacious downstairs area suitable for parties, where the music and atmosphere create a fun experience. The drinks menu includes well-balanced options like spicy margaritas and a great tequila selection, with the Mezcal Margarita being a highlight. Cuchillo also caters to gluten-free customers, offering the entire menu for them, which further enhances its reputation as a hidden gem.
While some guests find the portions on the smaller side and feel they need to order extra, the quality and taste of the food remain highly praised. The Arctic char taco is noted as delicious, alongside the epic lamb dish and Angus skirt steak. The cocktails are crafted with as much thought as the food, pairing well with the meals. Many visitors appreciate the reasonable prices for such a high-level experience, and the atmosphere, service, and drinks continue to impress, making it a popular spot for both casual and special occasions.
