The Mexican Antojitos y Cantina

This is THE best restaurant in Vancouver, full stop. Order the Alambre Con Queso with beef and thank me later.

Took tacos with braised beef cheek and top sirloin. Braised beef cheek was amazing and juicy, while top sirloin was a bit dry for us. Cocktails very good.

We first came here because my husband’s Mexican friend recommended it and it is the best, authentic Mexican food in Vancouver. My husband loves the Tortilla soup which is spicy, but so flavourful and I love, love, love the nachos because their chips are so crispy!! I rate a place based on how crispy & fresh their chips are, I can’t stand store bought chips 😂 Another unique thing about the nachos is that it comes with a mini cheese chicharron log, which is just as crisp and amazing! The tacos & enchiladas are delicious too and are better than American Mexican places I’ve been to. Sometimes American places are too overdone/too salty and this is natural & fresh tasting, how food should be 😋

Lovely restaurant serving real authentic Mexican food! 5/5 brilliant

delicious & authentic food. great customer service, welcoming environment & very cute decor! will definitely be back!

Food is amazing! You won’t be disappointed with the Chilaquiles or torta de milanesa. Service is great too!

I’m very disappointed to have to give a star. This is the second time I have ordered through Uber Eats and it is THE SECOND TIME that they do not send the entire order but they do charge me. Uber Eats is not helping me, I hope they pay more attention here.

What a phenomenal little place. I found this place by accident but decided to stop. The venue was charming, the service from the young girl was fantastic and the food and drinks were top notch. As an international visitor, the server did everything to make me feel comfortable and give me the best experience. She recommended the meat plate and I'm so glad she did. It's been my favourite dish I've eaten since I've been in Vancouver. Highly recommend!

Cute Mexican Restaurant in the downtown core. We tried the Nachos here, and they did disappoint :(

Aesthetically, they looked so yummy and perfect. However, when it came to taste - they lacked flavour and sauce.

Unfortunately - these just didn’t work for me, they are a bit on the blander side but presentation wise they delivered :)

I hope to try their other dishes, because the service and vibes were great.
