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.“

“Discovered Puerto Mexico last week and I’ve already been twice! Their bean tacos are soooooo good and cheap! I got 4 tacos for $16 I think. Best authentic tacos in Vancouver hands down. I’ve been telling everyone about this place because it’s just so good. The staff are so so friendly as well! Highly recommend“

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

“Last visit:
I ordered this dish from the special menu, apparently a popular item. However I found the chicken stinky and old, even with the flavorful sauce I couldn’t finish the meal and left it half way.
Apparently the staff don’t have any authority or control over customer satisfaction or compensation offers, so they just said nothing is wrong with the food and expressed they are sorry. Not sure if I will try their food again.

First visit:
Lovely staff, nice and clean place, tasty dessert.
Will come back!“

“Had a great experience at this taco spot, the food was delicious. One thing that would make it even better is a little more guidance for first-time visitors. Quick explanation from the staff could really help guests get the most out of the menu. Overall, though, the tacos were fantastic and I’d definitely come back!“

“We had an absolutely great time here!! At first we didn’t know it was a mexican spot, and it was the best surprise! The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and accommodating & it was decorated very nicely. Overall would definitely recommend, we’ll be back!“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

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

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

“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.“

“Just had the chicken burrito made by Karan, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced — tender, well-seasoned chicken, fresh ingredients, and just the right amount of spice. You can really tell it was made with care. Everything was wrapped up perfectly, and it held together without being soggy or dry. Easily one of the best burritos I’ve had in a while. Great job, Karan.“

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

“We are thrilled to have a great Mexican restaurant in our neighbourhood! We have been about 6 times since they opened in December - I can confirm that Brunch, Lunch, Happy Hour and Dinners are all fantastic! Truly authentic Mexican food and fantastic Margaritas and Palomas!!!!! The serving staff & bartenders are great. I forgot to take photos the other trips …but, here our breakfast from today (Chicken Enchiladas, Huarache Con Cochinita & Huevos Rancheros)“

“amazing tasty authentic 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 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.“

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

“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! 😊“

“Service was great. Ambience wonderful. My meal was very good. I had the CHICHARRON DE RIB EYE Excellent. Beef cooked nicely. Typically in Mexican food overdone. Not here excellent. I'will say the Tex Mex breakfast was not as advertised. Definitely NOT a hash. By any definition. Completely an American breakfast with some dried chorizo sprinkled on top of the potatoes. Given the quality of everything else and the quality of the rest of the experience. This was a complete disappointment. We will come back. But.........“

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

“I think is one if the best places in vancouver to order carnitas, we ordered 500 gr of mixed carnitas and it came with a good amoumt of corn tortillas, green salsa, lime and pico de gallo, everything was pretty tasty, is not my first time ordering here, the flavour and service is great and pretty solid.“

“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.“

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

“Todo delicioso, muy recomendable“

“This Mexican fast-food spot is a total gem! Their tacos are absolute standouts—fresh, flavorful, and packed with authentic goodness.

The service here is equally impressive—staff are super friendly, quick to help, and genuinely seem happy to make your experience great. They’re happy to answer questions about the menu and even offer recommendations, which adds a nice personal touch.

Their house-made Mexican beverages are a must-try. From the refreshing horchata with its subtle cinnamon sweetness to the tangy, fruity agua fresca, every sip tastes like it’s straight from a local spot in Mexico—no artificial stuff, just pure, authentic flavor.

All in all, it’s a fantastic spot for a quick, delicious meal that doesn’t skimp on quality or authenticity. Highly recommend!“

“Such amazing food and great staff made our visits amazing. An absolute go-to every time we are downtown. ♥️🤍“

“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.

“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 💯“

“This place has one of the most incredible gourmet Mexican food you have never tasted before. Yes, the service it's a little bit slow but I guess good things take time. If this restaurant would have a nicer venue, (with a view). It could be competing with Gordon Ramsay steakhouse. Just saying. The food is amazing!“

“The service was excellent, Lucy was very attentive from start to finish. The food was good; I would just recommend using a baguette for the torta ahogada so it’s more like a virote, and serving it in a deep plate. Everything else was excellent. We’ll definitely be back.“

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

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

“I visited this place for my lunch on sunday afternoon and ordered pork and jackfruit tacos and it tasted so good. its really authentic mexican food. The girl was so nice and welcoming working there . Its small place but quality of food was great.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 experience and awesome food!!!“

“Great place on a Tuesday evening to go especially if you are a beginner to Salsa and like to learn a bit and dance with others too. During dance time you may be forgotten a bit by staff but you can always go to the bar and bartender n servers there will attend you.“

“Great authentic Mexican cuisine and service.“

“I recently visited El Comal Mexican Foods and was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. The food was fresh, flavourful, and served quickly. The tacos had the perfect balance of seasoning and texture—nothing soggy, nothing dry, just delicious.

The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the place had a relaxed, cozy vibe that made the experience even better. Prices were reasonable, portions were generous, and you can tell they put care into what they serve.

I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone craving great tacos done right! 🌮✨“

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

“Start with the chicharrones, super crunchy, tajin-dusted, and way too easy to snack on. But the real star? The corn bread. Warm, sweet, and paired with that melted burnt onion butter. Their breakfast plates are hearty, flavourful, and hit the spot.

• Chicharrones - fried pork cracklin', tajin dusted
• Pan De Maize - sweet warmed corn bread, burnt onion butter
• Argentino Scramble - two eggs scrambled, chorizo, chimichurri, pickled onions, serrano chili, home fries, served with sourdough toast for one 3 flour tortillas for the other
• Chorillana Chilena - breakfast hash, two sunny side up eggs, home fries, strips of beef, chorizo, caramelized onions, tomatoes, jack cheese, chipotle sauce
• Florentino Scramble - two eggs scrambled, spinach, caramelized onions, feta, home fries, sourdough toast“

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

“Delicious food and a great atmosphere, especially if you visit on Friday when there’s live mariachi. I’ve been in to many Mexican restaurants, and this one comes really close to being authentic. The service was really good even in rush hours. I strongly recommend this place.“

“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“

“The food is delicious and the place is beautiful, service needs to be improved though.“

“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.“
