Love this restaurant! The food and drinks were just as amazing as when I was here 3 years ago. The blueberry steak taco was one of the best tacos I’ve ever had!

Great fresh Mex not like your standard burritos and chimichangas. Get the tasting menu and ride an adventure! The food here is impressive and the Mezcal Margarita is off the hook. We'll be back!

Great food, but beware they charge a $10 credit card processing fee. Please, don't do this. It is a cheap tactic that leaves a sour taste after spending $400+.

FANTASTIC ! What a gem in this part of Vancouver. The cocktails was magic, the service real pro, the food .....so good. And I can't stress enough the atmosphere: unique.

Great atmosphere, decor and ambience. Great service, professional staff. The food - disappointing. The Angus Skirt Steak taco plate, whilst tasty, had two tacos one of which had no steak in it while the other had a miniscule chunk of steak. The Arctic char taco tasted delicious. The dessert was okay. The portions were on the miserly side. Two of us spent $90 something including tip for our dinner , but were still quite hungry at the end of it, so we had dinner once we got home.

I accidentally found this restaurant on Google maps and was pleasantly surprised when I visited it👌🏼
I don't like cauliflower at all🤢, but then I saw a taco with it on the menu and decided to try it and …
It was a gastronomic orgasm🤤😍 the combination of sauce, cabbage and other ingredients just made this taco unbeatable🤩 I also can't ignore their only but very interesting dessert. It also has an interesting combination of sweet and salty, different textures. It tastes very interesting 😎👌🏼

Came in with fair expectations. The place has a solid rep, slick interior, and the kind of menu that sounds exciting. What we got was a disjointed, poorly managed evening that left us wondering how this place holds a 4.6-star rating.
The food wasn’t a total miss — a couple of good bites, especially the scotch egg, which was one of the few dishes that felt thought-out and well executed. But beyond that? It fell apart fast.
The arctic char taco was, no exaggeration, burnt. And not “nicely blackened” — I mean unpleasantly dry and aggressively charred to the point where it was tough to eat. It felt like the kind of mistake that happens when the kitchen is scrambling to recover a delayed or forgotten order — which wouldn’t surprise me given the state of service. Then there were the skirt steak tacos, which sounded great but were mostly filled with potatoes, topped with cold strips of steak. Barely any meat, and the whole thing felt like an afterthought.
They told us food would come out “tapas-style,” but it was basically one dish at a time with awkward gaps — not shared dining, just oddly staggered and inconsistent pacing.
But the real problem — far and away — was the service.
Our server kicked things off with the classic “I don’t write things down” routine, which I honestly don’t mind if you can actually remember the order. He couldn’t. He checked in before leaving the table, came back again to double-confirm, and still things seemed to go missing. At least two separate staff came over later asking what we were still waiting on. It felt like no one in the room was tracking anything, and yet no one seemed especially concerned either.
When the delays and dish confusion were mentioned, we got the standard vague “kitchen mix-up” explanation — which at this price point ($110+ for four tacos, some pork belly, a scotch egg, and sprouts) just doesn’t cut it. There was no apology, no effort to smooth things over, just a sort of detached, passive service approach like we were interrupting someone’s low-effort DJ set.
The room looks cool, sure. It feels like a place that wants to impress — but the vibe is all it really delivers. No sense of urgency, no accountability, no sense that anyone’s actually steering the ship.
There’s likely talent in the kitchen, but it’s being let down hard by a front-of-house that’s operating purely on vibes. Nothing about the experience made me want to come back, and the few good bites weren’t enough to justify the cost, the chaos, or the attitude.
A disappointing night all around. You can get better food, warmer service, and a more coherent meal at half the price in a dozen other spots across the city. Not a disaster, but a hard pass going forward.
We love to cook and enjoy food at home so when we eat out, we want it to be special. Cuchillo checks all the boxes. Top notch food, and excellent service. We’ve never been disappointed. Highly recommend.

The service was difficult, we understand that everyone doesn't have a good day always, but the answers from server were super rude... Anyways hope you don't have that experience because food is amazing.
we got the 6 course tasting menu which was $45 per person. as per the server, everything on the menu is gluten free.
the guac was good and refreshing. the brussel sprouts were delicious. the corn bread was delicious and really surprisingly for something gluten free. the taco dish was just ok. the corn shrimp dish was good. the lamb was good while the mash potatoes were strangely sweet.
the time it took the 6 dishes to come out felt a little slow; the time between the first and last dish coming out was an hour.
