Mexican Restaurants near West Vancouver

“My first experience with this place was 2 bites and into the garbage. Flavourless sludge. I read all the latest reviews which said pretty much the same thing as experienced tonight. Staff yakking on the phone or talking to each other while they leave you waiting. The toppings on my tacos were a joke. They just threw it together without a clue. Maybe a cultural thing as they were not Latino and had no pride. Zero meat. This is the first time I have bothered to post a bad review about anything. I have been traveling Mexico for over 45 years and built 4 vacation rentals in a place called Yelapa down the coast from PV and this place is a blight on the landscape. I dug“

“We had bought the coconut cake along with other assorted pastries from Whole Foods a dessert. The coconut cake was a hit! Packed with flavour and coconut taste. The cake was fresh and had a tasty filling like pastry cream. The pastries included crème brule (one was watery and the other was just the right consistency), pumpkin tart, lemon tart, chocolate tart and pecan tart. To ensure their freshness, place an order before hand. Having a good assortment of pastries is bound to satisfy everyone’s taste. They also offer a good variety of ready to eat takeout food.“

“All three of us were happy with our meals and this restaurant is actually quiet enough to have a decent conversation. Service was competent and friendly without being familiar. Prices are typical of a French bistro; my bill (before tip) was $28 and change for a glass of house wine and a lovely Nicoise salad made with fresh tuna.“

“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.“

“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“

“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 happy hours downtown without question! Great tacos, good drinks, and extremely affordable. Thank you so much for setting this bar. Amazing.

My only complaint: I know I'm getting older but this place is LOUD; it's actually insane. Your staff are going to have permanent hearing loss in no time... take it easy for their sake XD“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!! 😋“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wow! That was awesome food and service! Thank you for hosting our traditional POSADA EXATEC VANCOUVER - Amigos y Familia. We truly enjoyed the night, the service was exceptional. Loved the cochinita and rajas tacos. The ponche was delicious and all the Mexican traditional water, my daughter loved the horchata.“

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

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

“By Far the best mexi food In Vancouver.“

“Charles, Jason, Aaron, and Jas literally make my whole experience. I love these kiddos to death!
They keep the place spunky. The new manager Colin keeps the ship running smoothly. The supporting cast for honourable mention, Hunter for being the fastest learning new hire in the west. Brandon for coming in hot and keeping the heat.“

“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! 😊“

“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.“

“It’s good! Real authentic street tacos & more! Get the Hibiscus Water!“

“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.

“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!“

“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.“

“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 💯“

“You guys never fail to satisfy. I love your food. My only issue is that you’re so tight fisted with the green sauce. 😁“

“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.“

“Tequila Cantina on Lonsdale is a must for Mexican food lovers. Fantastic tacos, nice refreshments, and live mariachi on Fridays; perfect for a fun night out! Good service and a lively atmosphere make it a local favourite. Don’t forget to stop by on Taco Tuesday and I love this place!“

“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.“

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

“Great authentic Mexican cuisine and service.“

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

“Great experience and awesome food!!!“

“This is our new favourite spot for a patio to chill on for a fair weather day in Vancouver. We just stayed for the happy hour, but that menu went above and beyond what we're used to. The margaritas, tacos and papas chorreadas were all excellent. Love a tommy's style margarita. Will be back next time we're in town.“

“the food and the vibe were undeniably amazing. best tacos on the west coast!“

“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 💯“

“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)“

“One of the best taco places I’ve ever been to. I wish they would open a location in Toronto so I wouldn’t have to be sad every time we leave Vancouver haha. Their fish taco is my absolute favourite. fresh and full of flavour. The chicken sandwich is out of this world, and the beef burrito is also great.

I can understand why some people complain about the food being cold. When we came during rush hour, everything was super hot. But when we came around 2 to 3 p.m., the burrito wasn’t as hot and maybe even a bit cold. I’m not sure why, but I know for a fact it wasn’t stale food. They’re so busy during peak hours that there’s no way they would serve anything from the day before.“

“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!“
