I was promptly seated and my order was taken. I had the potato flautas and a churro for desert. The food was good, but not awesome, considering the price. The atmosphere was casual, not too noisy. read more

We always try Mexican food when we travel and found this place conveniently across the street from the theater on Granville Island. We were seated quickly at 5pm and didn't wait long for our food either, so it seems to be a great place to eat before catching a show. The decor is nice - high ceilings, lots of natural light, tables not super close together. Service was very friendly and responsive. It might help to have a reservation at busier times because a line was forming as we left. The food was pretty good, more interesting dishes than your usual family Mexican place. The salmon tacos could have used a bit more sauce. The tostada was a perfect small plate. The churro dessert was OK - the churros were on the smaller side and a little overcooked, but we still ate all of it. Pro tip - get the 5 churros instead of 3 if you are sharing, as they're small. Prices were reasonable for a nicer sit down restaurant. We'd go back. read more

I went here to watch the Canada vs Morocco World Cup match. I had noticed they were taking reservations, so I locked up a reservation right away, and I'm glad I did because when we arrived near the start time, the line-up for those without reservations was really long. Probably more than they could accommodate. We were seated by the TV. Our food came out faster than our drinks, which isn't surprising. My thoughts: - Complimentary Tortilla Chips: Good. Anything complimentary is nice. I would assume they are in-house made. They are cut very large, quite thick and fried quite brown. Good, but not the best. - Hamachi Tiradito: Good. The hamachi portion is quite large (to match the cost) but still very good. A much more substantive dish than I had expected. - Birria Tacos: Good. Well made. Crips taco shells, and birria had lot of flavour. Service was fine. The place was packed for the game, but our server darted in and out and was always there when we needed him. So no problems. Overall a nice visit. Considering I visit Granville Island often, and haven't tried this place before, it was a nice surprise. I'd consider visiting again, even though it's a bit on the expensive side. read more

The large tortilla soup is more filling than it looks, very tasty (though I prefer versions with chicken). Service is quick and friendly. Ambience is nice but acoustics may be overstimulating for HSPs when full/busy. I have been a few times and rounded up my rating because of restaurant consistency. All the tacos are also yummy. Coffee flight a bit too sweet for my taste buds. read more

This place was a pleasant surprise since it's in an area frequented mostly by tourists. I wasn't expecting that much, but their Mexican food is actually really terrific, quite authentic, and their margaritas are top-notch. I would definitely return to this place as my top pick of restaurants in Granville Island. read more

This place was pretty good. We stopped here during a tour of Granville Island because we wanted something light and a place where we could sit down and relax for a bit. They have both patio and indoor seating. It also looked like they had a little coffee shop connected on the other side because when we went to the restroom through these black curtains, there was a small coffee area over there with the restrooms nearby. I ordered the classic margarita, the birria tacos, and some guacamole. The margarita was pretty good -- nothing extraordinary since we live in Texas and can find a decent margarita almost anywhere, but this one was balanced well. It wasn't overly sweet or overly strong. I also liked that the rim was only half salted because I don't love a ton of salt, so that worked perfectly for me. The guacamole was a little different from what I'm used to. It had seeds in it, some cheese, lime on the side, and I think a little onion, but I didn't notice tomato. It was creamy and had a really good flavor. It wasn't spicy, and the seeds didn't bother me or make the texture weird. I'm not sure they necessarily added anything to the flavor, but it was definitely unique and still tasted really good. The chips came in a cup and were very fried, so they were extra crispy and a little oily. They were okay, but probably the weakest part of the meal. The birria tacos were really good. They came in a hard shell, and the beef was super moist and flavorful without being overly seasoned. There was a little dipping sauce on the side that was almost more like a light gravy. It was fine, but honestly the tacos didn't even need it because the meat already had great flavor and moisture. They also came with a little kimchi and cilantro on the side. I thought there was supposed to be cheese in them, but if there was, it must have melted into the taco because I didn't really notice it. I ended up mixing in some of the guacamole with the tacos, which I really liked. Overall, this was a solid stop with good food and good service. The service style was more of a group approach where multiple servers checked on you, which felt a little unusual at first because you expect to mainly deal with one person. But honestly, it worked well. We never got duplicate service, and someone was always nearby if we needed anything. The food also came out really fast. Everyone was very friendly, and one of the servers was especially funny. When he brought my margarita, he joked, "Here's your nonalcoholic margarita," and I was like, "Wait, what?" It made us laugh, and my son thought he was hilarious. Overall, good service, good food, and we would definitely come back. read more

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Van! I love this spot so much! Have been three more times since my first review and I'm changing to a five star all around! Tonight I had my bday dinner there. The wait staff was lovely and the service was excellent. I got my all time fave - classic like margarita and I think this might be the best in the city! It's so damn good The food was outstanding tonight too - we got the chips and guacamole - love that the chips are real tortillas properly fried and salted and their guac is so flavourful. We also got the ahi tuna ceviche and omg I could eat plates of this, it's outstanding - crunchy cucumber, avocado, cilantro and amazing sauce marinade. We also shared the mushroom sopes which were so delish too, tons of mushroom on each sopes. Then we got the shrimp Rajas as well - super decadent and cheesy and flavourful, served with hot tortillas. We loved it all and it just reminded me just how amazing this spot is. Highly recommend and will be back soon! read more

This review is for the El Cafecito section of Alimentaria. Food: I had the cafe con piloncillo/cinnamon and espresso... whew, incredible! It had the perfect amount of seasoning and espresso in it. The barista was the sweetest and though the original drink is a latte, I had mine as a cortado. I highly suggest this adjustment if you want to have less milk and really taste the espresso and piloncillo/cinnamon in your beverage! I also had a pan de elote; as a cornbread enthusiast, I have to say how *impressive* this recipe was. It was incredibly moist and had the perfect amount of corn chunks and sweetener! Service: The baristas were incredibly friendly, kind, and accommodating! This alone would motivate me to return and recommend the Cafecito to other folks. Ambiance: Though I didn't have an opportunity to really sit down, I absolutely loved the ambiance of the cafe. It was warm and vibrant with lovely decor. If you're in Granville, you should definitely stop by! read more

Service: The service was great and fast. We were in a rush because we were on a tour of Vancouver. We were so grateful for the tremendous service. Food: I got the Carne Asada tacos they were really delicious a hint of lime and a delicious steak layer covered in cheese. I really enjoyed this dish. I think that this is one of the best things on the menu because it was very affordable especially the kids menu version. I got the lemonade drink. It was fantastic. It may be a little sour for some, but I overall enjoyed the experience. I think they should add sour cream and salsa as a side for the quesadillas, in addition to the beans so it adds more diversification to the dish. Great quick stop to get some tacos and Mexican food. I'm sure the Mexican Coke was good too. I recommend that but I didn't get it. Honestly, if you need a quick meal, this is one of the best options. Cheers read more

Alimentaria Mexicana is a great spot for solid Mexican food in a lively, welcoming setting. The space itself is warm and vibrant, with a fun indoor feel and a patio that makes it perfect for relaxed lunches or casual dinners with friends. The tacos were delicious--well-seasoned, perfectly cooked, and served with fresh toppings that didn't overpower the flavors. Everything tasted thoughtfully prepared rather than rushed. Portions were satisfying, and the menu offers a nice balance of classic staples like tacos and tostadas, with a few extras (churros included) that make it easy to round out the meal. Service was friendly and efficient, even with a steady crowd, and the overall vibe felt upbeat without being chaotic. A strong choice if you're looking for dependable, flavorful Mexican food in a comfortable, social atmosphere. Would definitely come back. read more

I had a layover in Vancouver and wanted to do a bit of exploring and choose to go to Granville island. It's an area know for its shops, public market and fresh seafood. Magical.

First time came to the Alimentaria Mexicana and ate a nice lunch. I ordered Mushroom Tostada and Horchatal. It was a good combination of meal and Mexican drink. I looked menu but I don't know what I wanted to eat. So I asked staff and got a good order for my meal. If you are confused about the menu, I recommend that you ask the staff at the restaurant. The interior is casual and there is seating outside. I will be back! read more

Table of 5 people & no one cared to eat much of their food. The guacamole was tasteless, chips were drenched in grease so bad they look like they were coated in wax. The service was very slow but friendly. Sorry but nothing really positive to say about this place other than a great location in Granville Island. read more

Atmosphere is great, staff is friendly. The food is not good at all. Chorizo with no taste, potatoes with no flavor.

Wonderful! We ordered the birtia tacos and they were delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful and the tortillas were handmade and soft. Comes with pickled onions, consume, and cilantro. Highly recommend. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Environment is clean and nicely decorated. They have a drink menu for the coffee shop that you can order from while in the restaurant, or you can just order from the coffee bar itself. Their cafe drinks are flavorful Mexican coffee and hot chocolate. read more

We stopped off at Granville island kind of lost but also hungry. This place immediately caught our eye because of the bright colors and beachy vibes. We were able to be sat with nearly no wait which was surprising since it seemed very busy. Our waitress was lovely (and even helped me charge my phone before it died!) I had the crispy cauliflower tacos while my husband had the Lamb Barbacoa. We were both very happy with our meal but the WINNER of the night was easily the Churros with passion fruit sorbet. It was incredible! We would absolutely return! read more

Lunch time and we wanted to try this place as we heard about their tostadas. However, the only tostada on their lunch menu was the mushroom one. Decided on the carne asada con queso tacos instead, and hubs went with the Flank steak. Hubs liked the flavor of his steak and the veggies that accompanied the dish. He also liked the flour tortillas, although he would've liked a couple more. The tacos were also good - just the right amount of saltiness from the cheese and not too oily. There were 3 tacos in the order, and they were actually quite filling. Pretty busy place, and we had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us often. Would still like to return to try the tostadas. read more

This is the second time I've dined here & I really enjoy the food here. It's on the pricer side but lovely to have as a nicer meal out & definitely will dine here again in the future. My friend joined me for supper this weekend. Once a table was determined for us (inside), we observed how popular the covered patio is in the evening. We agreed that sitting inside the restaurant is our preference in the evening. To start we shared some guac & chips (this was the largest bowl we've ever had of guac & chips - giant chip pieces too!). It had sprouts & sunflower seeds on the guac (beautifully garnished) and very tasty guac (we both recommend using the guac on the fish tacos too). The fish tacos are only 2 tacos per plate (other tacos 3) but each had a very large breaded piece of fish. It was filling but completely messy. It truly tasted great - like all the messiest foods do (in my opinion) & you'll need extra napkins to the table right away! I thought it was nice that we were asked about preference of salsa hotness (an effort to customize the meal). I wanted something a bit more of a kick than mild, so we both expected there would be another salsa cup arriving for me but that didn't happen. Meal was still very delicious even with the mild salsa. We actually didn't have room to even consider dessert after tacos. The mocktail was really interesting (sorry forget the name!), wasn't overly sweet & a darker red colour. We did find it a bit odd that the waitress & any other waitstaff seemed to not attend our table & general area after our plates were removed. Maybe it was the timing of the other tables starting into their food & we simply were forgotten about being there earlier than the others around us? I would of asked for a coffee or maybe even another type of mocktail if someone checked in with our table. After all, we visited so long that our water jug sat empty for a good 20 min before we finally got our bill. Things I really liked here... -Good size of servings. -They have lovely plated presentations (the guac was beautiful but I was too hungry to bother fighting with iPhone photo storage availability and honestly, just ofer that guac!). -Their mocktail choices make you still feel like you're drinking something special. -The restaurant table & size can accommodate families, larger groups, couples & friends gathering. -Large menu so lotschoices. -Food comes out decently quick. -Lighting (at evening) is easy on my sensitive eyes in the dining area (further back into the restaurant & bathrooms is brighter). -Lower & well spaced tables good for someone with a walker or wheelchair to navigate/be seated without stressing about asking for the right table area on your reservation. -Flat entrance & no change of levels in restaurant (but I didn't see accessible buttons for the main door or patio door). -The bathroom stalls are an open to any gender with one large entry point. -There's 1 handicap bathroom outside of this area so no navigating around other people to access a stall that works good for your needs (granted due to the openess of gender bathrooms, the handicap bathroom unfortunately is occupied by very abled people too). -Returning from the bathrooms, there's a giant wall full of their branded items to purchase. It's not something one would see from the restaurant seating area but cool idea for Granville Island edible souvenirs or if you really liked something from the restaurant & definitely nice use of space. Things that could use a little extra umph to bring the experience up to the level of food price... -The bathroom stalls (including the handicap) were in need of care & attention. That should be done regularly & often if everyone is sharing one bathroom area with each other... -there's random amount of spots around this location for parking options, but nothing specifically designated towards this restaurant (that either of us could see). Nor was there an ask if parking could be validated for us. -Restaurant has a louder environment. Not the loudest I've encountered but would give some challenges visiting over a meal for those sensitive to louder environments or with hearing aids. Maybe that might be why some chose to the covered patio area vs inside. -As we went last minute to Granville Island & early on an Sat. evening, we forgot to call to check on reservations needed. However, we were only 2 people, tables visibly free (most not seated until we were long finished with our meal) & no line-up when we arrived (earlier in the traditional supper time frame). Yet we were made to feel "very lucky" to be seated. Same vibe I recall from last year but on a weeknight too. So if you want to avoid that long awkward wait as you stare at empty tables, just call ahead. Overall, a good meal, lovely location to grab food or drinks on Granville Island (I bet it's awesome people watching during the day on the patio!) & for the most part decently accommodating for mobility & sensitivities. read more

Ambiance was great. That's where it stops. We were sat on the patio. Over 10 minutes for someone to greet us and it was a manager, not the waitress. The waitress took orders from a table that had just sat down next to us. She spoke to the customer for about 10 minutes about their trip and what they were going to do the next day... and here we are waiting. Waitress was completely unaware of her tables and who she should be helping. Do not recommend. read more

We came here specifically for drinks. The ambiance outside just screamed good time so we knew to come in. Luckily it was happy hour so we sat at a table near the bar and watched the chefs work their magic. Our bartender was friendly and mixed up some delicious Paloma's for us. We figured the pitcher was the best bang for our buck so we sat down and prepared to hang out for a bit. We had a great time! People came by and checked on us but for the most part they let us chill. We didn't end up trying any food and we were surprised that in the time we hung out we didn't crave anything but we loved watching everything be made. The chef definitely keeps an eye on his kitchen and even had the team run out food themselves so it doesn't sit there long. His attention to detail was excellent and the kitchen seemed to be running smoothly. read more

Get the Carne Asada Tacos! Out of all the meals my friends and I ordered, this got the best reviews from everyone. I got the Chicken Adobo tacos which was fantastic.

So impressed! Service was outstanding with James as our main server and three others who brought our food and helped address requests from our hungry family. I'm pretty sure we blinked after we ordered and the food popped up. It was so fast, I was skeptical they had the order right. Well done! The food was unique and yummy and our littles inhaled everything and ordered more! They loved the kids tacos, I had the pastor tacos, and my hubby had the beef flautas. The chips were huge, the lemonade and horchata were delightful, and the beers went down nice. James kept us laughing, the patio was beautiful, the environment on Granville Island is hard to beat. Well done team! Highly recommended! read more

I really like this place! I have been several times now, and am addicted to their Mezcalita cocktail! My mouth waters just thinking about it! Not too sweet, a bit tart, just the right bit of everything to make you want another...! I've tried numerous items and enjoy the fact that they have so many vegetarian options. Additionally, I often have trouble eating corn products, but I think the ingredients they use is different, so I am able to enjoy the food there. They have a fantastic selection of Mezcal - I've always HATED Mezcal, until the server took me through a tasting, and now I know that there are certain types of Mezcal that I LOVE! That brings me to the final bit: the service is so friendly and unpretentious. They really seem to know and love their menu and give great advice. read more

Came by for a late lunch a few weekends ago and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I haven't visited the space since it was Edible, but nice to see it plenty busy on a Saturday afternoon despite the rainy January weather. FYI there's pay parking in the structure attached to Alimentaria for your convenience if you're headed here on a date or don't want to circle Granville Island for an eternity. Between my boyfriend and I, we started off with a round of Modelo-based Micheladas to pique the appetite. These were exactly what we wanted - tart and refreshing with a good amount of Taijin on the rim. For food, we got the Tuna Ceviche, Bone Marrow Sopes, Duck Flautas and Mussels with Chorizo. The ceviche arrived first and it was one of our two favourites during the meal. Nicely marinated in lots of lime juice, the chunks of tuna were meaty and juxtaposed well with the creaminess of the avocado. Homemade tortilla chips were a great touch. Next were the sopes and these are a definite must order. My boyfriend isn't usually a bone marrow fan, but the textural contrast of the sope with the rich marrow made it much more palatable for him. We had worried we hadn't ordered enough given the portion sizes, but the richness of this dish had us thinking otherwise. The duck flautas came very shortly afterwards and we agreed that we could've gone without this dish. The meat was tender but we didn't feel that the cabbage slaw or sauce really did much to enhance the flavour. Lastly, the mussels with chorizo appeared and by this point, we were fairly satiated. The portion size for this is fairly substantial, but flavour-wise, I wasn't a huge fan. I think I'm still partial to Chambar or Cafe Salade if I ever have a hankering for mussels, but this is personal preference. Price-wise, Alimentaria isn't the most budget-friendly option, but it's definitely a nice change of pace from the usual brunch and lunch options we've got in Vancouver. You can also show your receipt at the attached marketplace for 10% off your purchase! I'll be back for the sopes, ceviche, and to try out the birria. read more

This is the 2nd time I've been in 6 months and I had hoped for a better server experience.... I was disappointed again. Our server was ho-hum with my guest around liking a beverage that she selected. Then when I arrived our server visited all tables except ours for almost 10 minutes. I had to find someone to serve us given we had tickets to the theatre and a time crunch. The woman took our order and suddenly our server was ready to snap into action.... then over compensated. My beef QuesaBirrias was fine - enough for a lunch. My guest ordered PORK PASTOR GRINGAS and she found them greasy. On top of that they were served to us incorrectly and the server said "No that's what you ordered" - we just switched the plates after he left..... If you can handle so-so service with management that either isn't present or doesn't want to address issues - go for it. Food flavour is good but guest was a tad disappointed. Suprising but not for what I've experienced in the past. read more

Walked by this place while wandering around for a dog friendly patio. The wait was quoted at 1.5hrs which seemed typical as it was a nice Saturday afternoon. I left my name and number to the kind hostess and within an hour and a bit we were called back. Since the bf and I weren't really hungry we opted to try the more popular items: the carne asada taco and the beef cheek tacos. The server did give us advanced notice that the beef cheek would take some time to prepare which I really appreciate. Partway, she also noticed we were waiting a while so she offered us some chips on the house which the bf later on used as extra texture on his beef cheek tacos...lol. The carne asada taco came up really quick, it was really delicious - The pork was chewy and juicy, the guacamole(?) sauce on top was tart and creamy and of course the cheese was an excellent accent. However, the size is quite small for $7.95 - if you're hungry, you'll definitely need to order more as one may not leave you satisfied. Next, the beef cheek tacos. The bf remarked that he can see why it takes so much time to prepare as the meat was extremely tender and moist. Topped off with some Mexican chilli oil, it made a very filling meal. I'm glad the tacos filled him up because for the steep price, it would be a shame if it left him still hungry afterwards. As we ate, we also noticed tons and tons of people walking in, some made resos, others wanted to walk in. Closer to the end of our meal, I noticed them put up a sign that they were all full for tonight (reso and walk ins). If you're looking to eat here, definitely make a reservation or come early and be prepared to wait. Overall, service was really great and I just loved that the dogs had a place to rest next to us...no tacos for them though unfortunately haha... read more

This is my favorite patio to visit in Granville Island since they let my dog sit with me. The food is delicious and a bit pricey for what it is, but it's due to the location. The service is friendly, but they are too busy so it's quite slow. They are still amazing and do what they can. The bone marrow dish is roasted well, oozing with the richness of the marrow over refried beans and corn. The guacamole doesn't seem authentic with pine nuts and pea shoot sprouts, but I loved it. The steak tacos needed more steak, but otherwise really tasty. The tasting flights are overpriced but I still wanted to them. read more

Would you eat at a Mexican restaurant with Greek chefs in the kitchen? Or vice versa for that matter? I won't even bring up little Johnny from the local high school in the kitchen at the steak house cooking up my steaks!!! No ... just no way! I can gladly report that I confirmed with the host & looked inside the kitchen to verify that - yes the chefs are Latino! That's a good start but I'll be honest my friends in Merica ... our Mexican food ain't up to par with what you all got going on down there! Insert sad face here! However, we up here in Canada do try ... that's all we can do! There has been a massive influx of Latinos into the Pacific North West recently ... I wonder why!? Hee! Granville Island is a tourist mecca suffering from a lack of American tourists who drive up or come in weekly all summer via the 'on hold' Alaska cruise season. It's a pity cause those missing US dollars are really hurting GI. This new restaurant here is funky chic cool like dat in appearance! Well done designers bravo to you! However, the price to eat here is steep. For Mexican food at that, I'm not so sure about!? You all know me - I heart tacos so I'm hoping they are spot on with that otherwise what's the point right!?! The new restaurant has come to slay - lots of seating & a funky cool atmosphere indeed! However, I need to hear some Latino music playing via overhead speakers ... come on now ... uno, dos, très ... cuatro! Anyways good luck to Alimentaria Mexicana! Aribba, andele andele! read more

Everything was really good. Their mushroom tostada was a nice modern twist. My favorite would be the tuna ceviche with chips. The ceviche had the right amount of sourness. We also had some yummy cocktails. I really loved the coconut margarita. The waiters were very nice and kept checking up on us. Very friendly. The restaurant is a great place to just hangout and have a round of drinks while enjoying the granvile weather. I give it a 4 just because the prices were a bit high. But over all very good experience! read more

The food was surprisingly good here. The hostess was not particularly welcoming, but one of the people who served us our main dish was much more up beat. We tried the following: -Poblano & corn soup: just a hint of heat in this pleasant and comforting creamy soup. Just wished we tried a larger bowl of it! -Guacamole with corn (tortilla) chips: the guacamole was very fresh and flavourful. The pumpkin seeds added more texture and substance. Just wished a little more corn chips wereincluded. Had to finish the guacamole with the main course. -Halibut Tacos: this was filling (probably from the four, soft corn tortillas!), and the fresh Halibut was cooked just right, tender and flaky. There wasn't a lot of fish, but enough to be balanced with the slaw divided among the tortillas. The light batter on the halibut didn't add anything to the taste/texture, but it helped to hold the pieces of fish together. The slaw completed the flavour profile of the tacos nicely. If anything, the fish tacos could use a bit more salt to really make the flavours sing. Still, the fish tacos were very good with its more natural flavour. I hope this restaurant maintains the quality of their food as I hope to bring visiting friends/family here someday! read more

Ambiance was cool and it's what drew us in. However, food wasn't what we expected. It's not Mexican at all; more of a Latin Fusion. Portions are small, presentation is laking, taste is just ok; nothing to write home about. My bone marrow sopes were so salty that I had to ask for a pitcher of water just to help wash it down. It's expensive, too. Four people, just food, was over $100CAD. Wish we would have gone to another place instead. Not worth the wait and money. Too bad we couldn't just give the food back and get a refund . . . Never going back and you shouldn't bother. read more
