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!“

“¡Delicioso! Los jueves de super tostadas, totalmente recomendable 👌 La comida rica, los cócteles buenísimos.“

“I came here on a Sunday evening. I was very satisfied with my service. The food was outstanding not to mention the DJ was amazing, the music he was playing had me on the dance floor at times by myself. I can’t wait to visit again. I love that there are vegetarian options. The service were outstanding and the prices were phenomenal. I unexpectedly went during happy hour. .“

“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“

“Was there last night and enjoyed some wonderful food and drinks. This place is and will be a winner in our community.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

“My friend and I were walking down Broadway when something about Best Burrito caught our attention. It was a spontaneous pick, and even though the place was empty at the time, it had such an inviting atmosphere that we decided to step in.

The moment we walked in, Alex, the owner, greeted us with so much excitement and joy—it felt like we had just walked into a friend’s kitchen. He instantly connected with us, shared his story, and overall was just such a great guy. That energy alone made the experience special.

And then there was the food—absolutely amazing. Fresh ingredients, perfectly balanced flavors, and the homemade hot sauce? Next level. You can tell there’s a lot of love put into every part of what they serve.

This wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won’t regret it.“

“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.“

“amazing tasty authentic food“

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

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

“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! 😊“

“By Far the best mexi food In Vancouver.“

“Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Authentic Mexican food and really well priced. Vibe is relaxed and the service is amazing. So friendly and welcoming. Truly service with a simile. Cant wait to try everything on the menu and go back again and again.

Their Mole is 10/10 btw :)“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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 💯“

“The food and service is decent, but there is one female server, short with dark skin, possibly mixed filipino asian, that seems sort of standoffish, talking with an annoyed tone. I didn't even do anything wrong. She acted like that the whole time. However, the server Zoe was very nice and attentive.“

“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.

Vegetarian options: A few veggie and vegan options

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.“

“Great experience and awesome food!!!“

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

“Excellent food and service. We will definitely go back when we visit Vancouver again.“

“The food is fresh, delicious and healthy and the portions are hearty. It’s a taste of Mexico with a twist close to home!!!!!“

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

“El Camino's on Main Street in Vancouver is a popular spot for Latin American street food and drinks, known for its lively atmosphere and flavorful dishes.

I loved the Beef Asada tacos. It had red onions, serrano lime marinade, cucumber pico, avocado sauce, chicharone crumble.
The menu has a variety of gluten free items as well and is delicious!

I would love to come back again and try out their brunch menu.“

“🌮🌮🌮🌮 Great tacos before flying back to Montreal 🌮🌮🌮🌮“

“I’ve been hesitant to review this place for a while, sometimes I love it other times it’s feels like a rip off. Food is decent quality, perhaps a little bland (chicken especially) but I appreciate that it isn’t loaded up with fats and salt.

I stopped ordering the burritos after getting a small burrito, the price it just too high to gamble with leaving less than full.

Inconsistent portions continues to be a problem with the tamale plates, but at least they are reasonably priced. I’ve only had one staffer that serves a fair portion, while another has been consistently small. After witnessing him scoop two scoops of rice then “accidentally” dump some back, I walked out.

I don’t know how many nickels he’s saving, but if they are going to serve meager portions, I’d appreciate the option of a super size.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Their Fish Tacos are the best, decent amount of fish and toppings and perfect amount of sauce. The Pacific Cod Taco is a must try, shown on the left. The one on the right is the Albacore Tuna Taco, also delicious! Would recommend the Pacific Cod if you like less salty sauces. (The sauce for the Tuna is saltier than the sauce for the Cod.)“

“Amaazing food & drinks! My new go-to spot :)“

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

“I had the pleasure to visit and have lunch at Red Burrito. The place looked neat, the food was tasty, and customer service was 10/10. I was assisted by a kind lady named Sac, who made the experience top notch and recommended the best menu items. Thank you !“

“The best tacos so far in Van.“

“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.“

“quiet and comfort watch the movie there“

“When a homely style restaurant offers unpretentious dishes that’s really easy to enjoy, I’m instantly in love. El Caracol is exactly that. Please give me this instead of the other “trendy”, fancier Mexican places that I feel underdressed for. Give me that interior ambiance; and give me her charming service… I will forever be coming back! I love places like this… it fills my soul.“

“I came here on a Thursday night around 6:00pm. It wasn't super busy initially but it did ramp up. The food and drinks here are always good. I will say though that the service was so bad. It was actually terrible. Our server was so missing in action we could not make eye contact for the life of us to order drinks. I love this place but it's no longer on top of my list because of service.“
