50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Vancouver

“I've been to all the Mexican places in Vancouver and seriously, none of them are as good as this one. Everything is super delicious, all the girls on the staff are super friendly and they also have great prices. I always recommend this site. 10/10. Very good. Everything tastes what it should taste like, just like going out to eat in CDMX. Talavera forever.“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in Vancouver, although be prepared to pay steep prices. The quality is similar to the taco stands found in LA and San Diego, but at a cost.

We ordered the taco trio which came at a whopping $26. The taco filling was delicious, very richly textured, and bursting with fresh ingredients. But at almost $9 per taco, it's quite mind boggling when it's a $2 USD street food item.

We also ordered a bunch more other items, all very good: guacamole with nachos, baked cheese portobello mushroom, a chili soup, and beef tortillas. They all were a bit salty; I came home and drank at least 3 cups of water within a few hours.

Service was attentive and polite, and our wait staff checked in on us at appropriate timepoints without being overbearing during our dinner.

Parking is paid on the street, and a bit hit and miss depending on the day and time.

Overall, a more upscale experience than what you can find in Vancouver, with authentic dishes made with a tasteful approach. I would return and interested to try out their entrees in the future.“

“Yummiest tacos 4 for $16. And you can mix and match any flavours you like. We got takeaway and the guy’s vibe was so personable and kind! The in store Mexican products were also very niche and good finds. We felt well taken care of. 10/10 will return“

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

“When the owner meets you everytime the home town folks visit. Priceless. Thanks Caz“

“Repeating customer here👍👍👍 ive been ordering from this shop 10x and food has been always fantastic and owner/staff is super friendly! Friends were shocked when they saw this huge torta, decent torta is really a rare find in Vancouver it’s crunchy and soft inside, and dipped with aquachile? 🙏 I could eat 10 tortas“

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

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

“The place is 100% recommended in all aspects, the food is very delicious, the waitresses are extremely friendly, especially Ari. It is a clean place, they serve you quickly. I would return without thinking about it. All the guys who work there are very attentive.“

“OMG who knew there was such a great authentic Oaxacan Mexican restaurant in Kits?!?!?!?! I must have driven by the old Jerry's Cove pub location hundreds of times without ever noticing it had been converted into a real authentic Mexican restaurant (not TexMex) over a year ago. Food was absolutely amazing with flavours and spices i've never tasted before. From the mole to molcajete (stone bowl) dishes everything was incredibly flavourful. NO JOKE this place is the real deal.“

“Delicious and authentic! The flavours truly represent real Mexican tortas. Don’t be surprised by the generous cabbage — it’s part of the authentic experience, adding a fresh, juicy bite that perfectly complements the filling. The chile relleno was outstanding, and the bread held everything together without getting soggy. To finish, the tres leches dessert was exceptional. A must-visit if you’re looking to enjoy genuine Mexican flavour in Vancouver!“

“amazing tasty authentic food“

“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! 😊“

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

“Happy to find a burrito place by my work, the burritos are a great size for the price and yummy, very nice owner.Update: Photo of my usual burritoChicken burrito on sundried tomato wrap with beans, rice, #3 hot sauce, banana peppers, jalapenos, cheese, cabbage, onion, lettuce and cilantro. It's so tasty“

“By Far the best mexi food In Vancouver.“

“Although I'm not typically drawn to Mexican cuisine, I discovered a restaurant that piqued my interest in unexpected ways. The vibrant atmosphere and colorful decor set the stage for an exciting experience. While the main dishes didn't quite resonate with my taste preferences, the cocktails were a delightful surprise. Each drink was expertly crafte and left me wanting more.“

“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.

“first time ever I tried quesada with my sister and You know wt we had the bestest experience. The girl, Mehak working over there helped me chosing the best burrito bowl ever! she assisted me and my sis with patience which normally lacks when I go to other food chains. I really really appreciate her efforts and at last i would love to come back here again and highly recommed this location for good customer service.“

“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.“

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

“The customer service was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The food was authentic and full of flavor – truly some of the best Mexican dishes I've had in a long time. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious food and outstanding service!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“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.“

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

“Maybe because of the event that was going on, the matches and all that stuff the bar just got really busy and we had like a 35 mins waiting for every pitcher or order that we made.

Also, not having a reservation for the matches it’s kinda poor service since we were standing watching the games and however we were charged 18% of gratuity because “our” table it was to many people. I did 2 reservation and I didn’t have any table available so I sat with some friends and then we were standing because it was too many people.

Anyway, the vibes in the bar, of course amazing, salsa, bachata, maybe as a suggestion a little bit more of reggaeton would be amazing but that’s just a comment.“

“I was going to be in this area and searched for restaurants and this one popped up. So glad it did! I gave mezcal a try for the 2nd time ever and it was good!
Had some good food, good drink and the bartenders were personable.
Servers and bartenders were bringing out bottles for guest to look at and read while they enjoyed the drink.
Food came out quick.
Salsa was all delicious.

Thanks for a good experience while in Van.

Parking: Be careful to not park in yellow painted curb areas, or in areas that require a residential permit.

Kid-friendliness: Not particularly. It is a mezcal bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Isle to the bathroom in the back is narrow which I imagine would pose difficult. The front door does not have a press to open.“

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

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

“Went in last night for dinner and drinks. The food is pretty consistent here but the service last night was horrible. It has to be the worst service I have ever had in a restaurant but at least the food was good. The staff here is amazing but the waitress we had was horrible. She was cold and impolite right from the get go. I will go back but if I get this waitress again I wont stay for dinner.“

“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 little Mexican resturant, food and atmosphere were authentic and super enjoyable!

Friend told me it was his favorite "burrito place" in Vancouver about 7 years ago and I finally got to go haha, was worth the wait honestly!
Good price too.

Will be going back again!“

“Big portions for three tacos. I got three cactus tacos for 6$ and they were stuffed. A great inexpensive vegan option! Also... The hot sauce is ACTUALLY spicy so proceed with caution.

Vegetarian options: Cactus tacos (vegan)“

“Amazing food and presentation! We had Del Comal a su Mesa cater my daughter’s quinceanera, and the food was delicious, plentiful, and cost effective! Nancy and her team served the food, and the catering even comes with lemonade — it was perfect for the size of our party. They are very professional and organized, I highly recommend!“

“The Lemongrass Chicken Burrito (previously the Grilled Chicken Burrito?) has been my go-to take out for a few years now. It’s been consistently good, perfect almost every time.

The one I had today? 15/10!! It was amazing, it was incredible. “Complements to the Chef” good that I am leaving a review after 50+ burritos.

Thank you, please never change.“

“I tried the lemongrass chicken and the pacific cod tacos so far. Both were amazing. The size of the tacos are huge one taco with a small side dish is a perfect meal for me.

Also reheating the taco I couldn’t eat in my air fryer the next day worked great and the taste was still top notch.

Great price, amazing taste, so I will 100% be going back again and again.“

“"we have been meaning to visit this place, but for some reason we always hesitated or decided to go somewhere else, today we just thought "well we have to try it sooner or later" we went for the vegetarian burrito, and we were shocked on how good it is, definitely we will come back, good burrito!!"

“Always ready on time, super easy ordering online, and the wonderfully addictive green salsa 🌶🌶🌶😋😋😋“

“It's a taco time in a food court. It's not the best place in town for a taco, that's absurd. It's also not a one star restaurant, that's also absurd. It's a place to get cheap fast food style burritos. People need to relax.“

“Had a great dinner tonight! Ordered the taco soup. So pretty and really tasty. Lovely spice level! Ordered three tacos and they were so so good too. I took the phot halfway through“
