50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Vancouver

“This place is an absolute delight! The owner is genuinely wonderful so warm, passionate and clearly pours his heart into everything. You can feel how much he cares about the food and the guests.
And the tacos? Out of this world. Seriously some of the best I’ve ever had perfectly balanced, incredibly flavorful, fresh ingredients, and each bite is pure happiness. The tortillas are soft and homemade-tasting, the fillings are generous and spot-on.
Everything is done with so much love and attention to detail. Prices are very fair for the quality, the vibe is super cozy and welcoming.
If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and go you won’t regret it. Highly, highly recommend! The owner and his incredible tacos made my day ❤️
Will be coming back for sure, many times!“

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

“This has quickly become mine and my partner’s favourite brunch place. The music isn’t too loud so you can chat while eating, the servers are lovely and the food…the food is some of the best I’ve had in Vancouver. The wait isn’t too bad even during peak hours. Shoutout to our server Claudia that took care of us the last time we were there. Highly recommend!“

“I've come here a few times to eat-in and for take-out. The service is always fast & staff are efficient & friendly! There's also tables and a washroom (which is also well-maintained). The portions & price are good value as I sometimes even spilt a burrito into 2 meals. It's my current go-to place to satisfy my burrito cravings & I'd recommend it!“

“Tacos were so so good and great value for happy hour! Tried one of each and all of them were delicious.

Service was super quick and friendly. There are so many drinks options as well including slushes, shots, and beers. Really liked the ambiance with all the bright lights late at night and even though it was a bit loud, it wasn't loud enough to disrupt conversations.“

“The food really impressed at Zapoteca. The Breakfast Burrito was my favourite while the Tacos De Pescado (fish tacos) was a kid favourite for those that like a bit of spice. I also quite enjoyed a few of their house made Tortilla chips from their deconstructed Nachos on the kids menu.

Last but not least, drinks were also a hit.“

“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“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

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

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

“Legitimate carnitas. Like straight off the beach at a food truck with a bottle of cerveza from a cooler and a bag of salsa to toss on your taco while sitting on the beach kind of legit.
Nothing like it exists in Vancouver; if you want a really authentic Mexican carnitas just go here.
Magnifco, muchos gracias amigo.“

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

“Todo delicioso, muy recomendable“

“The Gingas were amazing and the Sayulita was delicious. The service was fabulous and the food came quick! I can’t wait to go back“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“A rare 5/5 on all thing. I've been here a few times over the last couple of years, and I have to say this place is on point with service, flavours are STELLAR (my Mexican wife demands we return for the authentic flavours), presentation is creative, beautiful, and atmosphere is very nice. Not really a classic Mexican atmosphere, but more like a sophisticated western restaurant/pub.

Enchiladas with poblano salsa was outrageously delicious. Molcajetes with beef and with seafood were stellar and filling! Next time I'm going to have lighter meals do I have room for dessert!

100% chance we will return.
100% recommended for a date night.
100% get your Saturday brunch on here.

Sadly didn't take a picture on my last visit, will dig one up from a previous one.“

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

“amazing tasty authentic food“

“My favourite burrito place in town.
Always clean, great quality and friendly service.
Its very affordable and a quick lunch.

Ive been coming here for years and never had a bad meal.

The grilled chicken burrito with spicy hot sauce is my goto order and my recommendation.

This place is 100 times better than Chipotle. I highly recommend red burrito, and this location.“

“Food was FANTASTIC! Great margaritas and fantastic birria. Seriously well priced drinks and a great menu. Would absolutely recommend giving them a shot. I am aware it is relatively new and the staff might be ironing out some kinks so service was a little slow, but overall everyone was really friendly.“

“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! 😊“

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

“Excellent food and drink! Excellent atmosphere! Excellent service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best in Mexican cuisine.“

“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 💯“

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

“I loved the community of the live music jam last night and am thrilled with the delicious food and drink and amazing customer service.“

“I just ate there and the food is very tasty. What really stood out, though, was the great mood of the staff. There was a girl who speaks Spanish with an accent very kind, and her smile makes you feel welcome, like you’re in a proper warm Mexican place. The food is good, but the service is excellent. Just because of the staff, I’ll definitely be coming back often.“

“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.“

“Went for happy hour and all the food was great! Service was a little slow but it was to be expected since the restaurant filled up very quickly after a Vancouver Canadians baseball game. Loved the Humboldt squid and the queso fundido. Palomas were also delish!“

“If you truly want to experience something authentically Mexican, Cielito Lindo is the best choice, from the warm welcome you receive to the most delicious food from Guadalajara, along with amazing drinks inspired by Mexico City 🤤👌🏻 It’s truly a beautiful experience from start to finish! Place, service, and food: 100/100! 🇲🇽 Highly recommend it! ✨“

“Great experience at Red Burrito. The tacos were really good, fresh, and full of flavor, but what stood out just as much was the customer service. Zack was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience easy and welcoming. You can tell she cares about both the food and the people she’s serving. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!!“

“This isnt a dine in location. But instead a remote kitchen in an industrial area that is for food pickups only (like uber eats, skip the dishes, etc). Did not know this until I arrived. Some food trucks around, so maybe they cater out of these during the day? The worker did not mention this when I arrived.“

“Food was delicious. We ordered tacos to start. Yum. The maracuya daiquiri was so good. The Argentino torta was wonderful. There are so many choices. I'm looking forward to going back to try different things next time. The service was good. Our waiter was very friendly.“

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

“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!“

“We had the absolute best time this evening at Lucha Libre! The service was exceptional and the food was authentic and delicious! We will absolutely be back any time we are in Vancouver. Only suggestion, carry Good Robot’s Mexican lager!“

“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.“

“Authentic Mexican food! The tamales and huaraches were absolutely delicious—an unforgettable experience! As a first-time customer, I’m already promising to return for more. You made a pregnant Mexican taste the flavors of home! Thank you for the amazing, flavorful meal!! 🙏🏽❤️“

“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.“

“doent to earth yet so comfy. love the food.“

“The best tacos so far in Van.“

“Las Margaritas in Kitsilano is a long-standing Vancouver institution since 1981 known for its vibrant atmosphere, preservative-free and non MSG Cal-Mex food (like chimichangas and pastor tacos), and strong margaritas.
Best Items: Chimichangas, enchiladas, and fajitas ... and definitely their free chips and salsa.“

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

“I just wanted to say how much I appreciate sancheeta at Quesada, hope i got her name right this time. Every time I come in, she’s with a big smile on her face and no matter how busy it gets she makes my food delicious. You can tell she really cares about doing a good job and making customers happy. It’s people like her who make you want to keep coming back for that yumm food“

“Ate at the Welland location. The owner even came out to ask how my meal was! Great service.“
