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.“

“I gave this place a try after finding my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant on Broadway closed. This spot had a lot of great reviews, and I can see why. It is primarily a grocery shop specializing in Mexican condiments and products at the front, but they also serve street-style tacos from a tiny counter in the far back behind the cash register. It’s meant for quick eats or takeout, with just a small side counter to sit. It is not a full sit-down dine-in experience like the restaurant right next door (which is easy to confuse it with at first glance).

The owner is very task-oriented and focused, but professional and efficient at getting orders out quickly. If you're looking for great, quick tacos, this is probably the closest to traditional street-style that I’m aware of in the area.

The tacos themselves were excellent. Even though they are highly authentic in their preparation, I wouldn't let that scare anyone away over worries about heat. I’m quite used to spicy food, but even when their hottest salsa was generously applied on my request, I barely noticed any kick. Therefore, I don't think the average person will need to worry about the spice level being overwhelming here.

Highly recommended for quick, authentic street tacos on the go.“

“This place has the very best burrito in all of Vancouver and I’ve tried them all. Their ingredients are so fresh. Everything is just perfect and the customization is incredible. The price is also really really good especially if you use their app to order the food. They’ll even give you reward points plus a discount on top of that. You can’t go wrong with this place. Gotta try it if you haven’t been there before.“

“Fabulous dinner / Machete / Chickern and Pastor tacos / and hibiscus beverage Will be back for sure after this first time at Machete“

“Popped in for breakfast and was well impressed. The staff are lovely, the two girls front of house were very welcoming and kindly gave me a free ticket for the museum, which was a top-tier bonus. Food-wise, you get a proper generous portion and the flavours are spot on. My only gripe is that the coffee was a bit miniscule. Tasted good, but gone in two sips! Definitely worth a visit though.“

“Best short rib quesadilla ever, meaty, cheesy, delicious. Good fish taco and yummy guac!“

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

“Todo delicioso, muy recomendable“

“Visit for the first time for breakfast. The menu is so nice, a good choice of mexican platters. I had the chilaquiles and torta de cochinita. The was very good 8.5/10
And the service was super friendly.
I'd visit again if I'm in town.“

“Delicious authentic Mexican food“

“Went for their all day Tuesday Taco Platter! Was worth the price, and the flavors were all definitely there. They didn't skimp out on the meat either! I'm not very picky when it comes to tacos, as long as it's well seasoned and and flavorful! So personally, I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back again. I loved one of their sauces, it was the spiciest one that was also sweet, it was soo good!

Just one note: the beef in the asada tacos were a bit dry, but the portions and adding the sauces made up for it. Overall, delish! 🩷“

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

“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.“

“Food was amazing but a bit pricey. I asked for a side of sour cream, they charged 3 dollars for a tiny spoon of it.. I was upset because my boyfriend paid for it. Their pricing is a bit unreasonable. Also the servers weren't very attentive. Amazing food though ngl. I'd come back for a takeout.“

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

“Great little Mexican secret spot! A friend insisted we go here, it's a stall in a food court in the International Mall dt near China Town. Menu has good choices I had gluten-free taco plate. If you enjoy Mexican you should try this place“

“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!“

“Had a great time at Ophelia. The food was delicious, I will definitely be back for the bone marrow tacos and to try other items on the menu. Service was a little slow however the server was very welcoming and friendly and our water was constantly refilled. Atmosphere was a very nice touch. Overall great experience.“

“Los tacos de asada son deliciosos!“

“amazing tasty authentic food“

“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.“

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

Returned again within the week. Both times our server Maria was excellent. Attentive, knowledgeable and so sweet.
Mariachi band also here tonight.
Will definitely become a regular restaurant for our family and friends
A great find with wonderful staff“

“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! ✨“

“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.“

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

“Stumbled in last Saturday after a long morning of exploring Gastown and the horchata alone was worth stopping for. The space is small but well put-together, with hand-painted tiles behind the counter that give it a genuinely lived-in feel rather than the usual faux-rustic aesthetic you see in so many spots trying too hard. Staff were attentive without hovering, which as someone who eats out constantly I appreciate more than most people realize. If you're in the neighborhood and need a break that doesn't feel like a tourist trap, this is your place.“

“El Camino’s on Main Street is such a fun spot! The food is packed with flavour, the tacos are delicious, and there are lots of great options to share and try a bit of everything. The atmosphere is lively and colourful without feeling over the top, and the whole place has a really relaxed Main Street vibe. Great food, friendly service and a fantastic place to stop for a casual meal and drinks!“

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

“My husband and I shared the California Burrito! It was sooo delicious!!! The cheese on the outside was heavenly!!!“

“I had one of their burritos, absolutely delicious. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but it's definitely got something for everyone. Staff are great too. I enjoyed my lunch here, I'll bring a friend next time. They have pretty small glasses of beer on offer too which is a great idea if you want a beer but don't want much. I wish more places had this.“

“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.“

“The best Red Burrito out of the other 4!

I’ve been eating Red Burrito since the north Vancouver opened but this is def the best! The food here tastes way better than the other ones, and the girl always working there, Zack always makes me feel welcomed“

“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.“

“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 💯“

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

“Great authentic Mexican cuisine and service.“

“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!“

“The best tacos so far in Van.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I came here to eat yesterday with my family, and we left very satisfied, sabor Mexicano is authentic and the staff are very friendly, I am Hispanic and it was such a relief to find an authentic restaurant close by ! We ordered Birria tacos and the enchiladas and the carne asada plate, very delicious, the owner greeted us and was very attentive and friendly, my family and I will definitely be coming back ! It was nice that they had fans in the restaurant because it was quite hot outside They also have Mexican sweets if you want something refreshing, the horchata was nice and creamy. Muchas gracias sabor Mexicano !“

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