    BIRRIA-DILLA
    Annie W.

    Came back for round 2! I did wait a while to get my drink, but other than that all the food came out quickly. This time we ordered chicken karaage taco, tuna tataco, birria-dilla, and nachos with pork chashu.

    This whole place is a vibe! Listen to upbeat music, watch anime, play Street Fighter and enjoy tasty Japanese Mexican fusion bites. I loved the fusion flavours and how creative the chefs are. Service was very attentive, we ordered a bunch of dishes and they kept checking up on us. Drinks: The Mexxxican: the presentation was cool...it's tequila in a cone-shaped cup with a bubble. My husband enjoyed this. Matcha made in heaven: this mocktail was so refreshing, I would order this again. Starters: Sizzling cheese & shrooms: this will satisfy all your cheese cravings! I liked the shrooms, but you need to eat this right away or the cheese gets clumpy. Kimchi nacho fries: order this! It's huge and perfect for sharing and I loved all the toppings. Mains: Tacos: I believe you normally get 3 of the same tacos, but because we came during happy hour we chose a few different tacos at $6 each. The fusion flavours worked well for every taco we tried. My husband loved the chicken karaage taco with crispy pieces of chicken and the housemade tartar sauce and tonkatsu sauce was chef's kiss. Ebi fried taco is my fave because I love ebi tempura. It comes with a secret sauce...no clue what's in it but it's delicious! Birria-dilla + instant ramen: if this is your first time at Miso Taco, definitely order this! The flour tortillas are packed with so much cheese and the consome has so much flavour and is perfect for dipping instant noodles. Dessert: Matcha parfait: by the time dessert came we were so full, but I liked that this dessert was nice and light. Churro dango loco: I liked the churros with condensed milk, but this dessert is on the sweeter side

    Half the drink menu

    This was a recommendation from a friend living in the Vancouver area who is friends with the owner. They send everyone here and I get why. The staff was super friendly, the menu is large with options for all, there are so many kinds of beverages available, and they have classic anime playing on the TVs! Win! We got there at about 2p, enjoyed a late lunch and were about to leave when they dropped the Happy Hour menu. Uh oh. And then we stayed another 20 minutes or so nursing a highball.

    So we made it back and had lunch here on a weekday this time, instead of dinner. It was much quieter at this time, just like our server last time had told us. This was great cuz it meant that we could easily get a table, and as the weather is cold these days, inside tables are all they have now. Outside dining isn't even an option right now. We got to enjoy watching some anime this time. There were 3 screens inside the restaurant, and each one had a different anime show displayed on it. My daughter ordered the Ramen My Wrap again but contrary to what she said last time, she decided she wanted the entire thing to herself and even ordered it with beef instead of tofu this time, so I wasn't able to take a bite of it this time since I don't eat meat. She also had the Passion Colada drink again. She said her dish was better last time when it had tofu in it but that it was still good with the beef in it. I had the Kimchi Nacho Fries this time. This was delicious. My second choice would have been the Sizzling Cheese & Mushrooms, and I still want to try that one some other time; however, I enjoyed these Kimchi Nacho Fries so much that it might be difficult to not order them again whenever next I get to this place.

    Rating comes purely from a Tuesday taco-only special angle where for every 2 sets of tacos, you get the 3rd for free!!!! INSANE VALUE for delicious fusion tacos, we def will be back for this. For 4 people, we shared 6 orders of tacos for under $80 (before tip), happily walking out stuffed and satisfied. * Chashu Style Carnitas (4.7/5) - pineapple + carnitas = amazing pairing (if you're extra, adding mango salsa also slaps), we got a double order for this and it did not disappoint! * Birria-dilla (4/5) - delicious consomme, a little on the heavier side, classic beefy 'dilla. * Miso Taco 2.0 (4.7/5) - well fried mackerel, not too salty which I was afraid of since mackerel tends to be fishier, nice topping pairings. My only qualm was with the dollops of mayo cause my end bites were pure mayo oops, should've just spread it out myself. * Chicken Karaage (4.7/5) - JUICY + YUMMY. * Teriyaki Cheesy (unrated) - I didn't have this one, wasn't feeling too big on cheesy this day. Salsa selection: avo x2, mango, pico de gallo x2, and yuzu diablo. Cleared them all o7 We may have been seated in a corner but the staff were still super attentive :3 I never had to suffer through spice (from yuzu diablo) without any water, bless them.

    I wondered if this fusion would work - and it did! The Attako Taco and the Birria was my fave The service was good and it's a nicely decorated space

    Fried rice taco bowl

    I wanted to try Misco Taco for a long time as the mix of Mexican & Japanese street food sounded tempting. There were some good dishes. In our group of 5 we started with the Shrimp Chips and Guacamole which we all liked. We ordered: 2 rice bowls, 2 tacos dishes and 1 Ultimate Chicken Wrap. For the tacos and wrap, we had a choice of salsas and all of us took the Pico De Gallo. Portion size and flavours were good, but my ultimate Chicken wrap was not spectacular as I didn't taste the flavours of the chicken. I also had the Jamaica Me Crazy (hibiscus, lychee & lime) which was a refreshing non-alcoholic drink. Others had beer. We all agree this was a neat concept and some dishes had better flavours than others. Service was great and very helpful. Décor was simple but colourful. Music was loud and so was the whole restaurant as we could hear others talking near by. We'll return but not super fast.

    Chashu-style carnitas tacos
    Shem L.

    This restaurant is incredibly accommodating for dietary needs since they let you swap any protein for mushrooms or tofu, which I love. My absolute go-to is the teriyaki cheesy tacos with mushrooms - they are honestly amazing. The mushrooms have that perfect savory-sweet glaze, and the way the cheese forms a crispy, golden-brown crust against the tortilla adds such a satisfying crunch and richness. The smoky kick from the chipotle mayo ties it all together beautifully. My friend always gets the Birria-dilla and completely swears by it: the tortillas are grilled until they're perfectly melty and loaded with flavor. He always says that the real magic happens when you dunk it into that rich, savory dipping broth, which makes every bite incredibly succulent and intense. We also shared the chashu-style carnitas tacos (but replaced the meat with mushrooms), which were alright, but definitely played second fiddle to our favorites. One of the best parts is picking your own salsa from their huge selection. Even though I can't really handle spicy food, the green avocado salsa is incredible; it's mild enough for me to enjoy and pairs perfectly with the tacos. For dessert, the Churro Dango Loco is a really unique find with its mix of churros, creamed corn nuggets, and mochi-like dango. While it's a bit of a wildcard, the churros themselves are absolutely delicious and worth a try. Just a heads up: they have a great "buy two, get one free" deal on Tuesdays, but I'd actually recommend visiting for the first time on a different day. I've noticed the quality can dip a bit when they're super busy with the promotion, so go on a quieter night to see them at their best :)

    Squid skewers
    Kate M.

    Miso Taco moved to Cambie street recently so we checked it out. It's a mix of Mexican and Japanese with some fun twists on both food and drink. We started with the hot cheese (queso) style which came with soft tortilla. The flavour and melt was good on the cheese. Just needed to come with a few more soft tortillas. We also tried the squid skewers. The batter was nice but slightly fishy flavour for me. For my main event, I had to try the Birria-dilla with ramen noodles for my jus. Picture a Birria quesadilla with the beer jus but with ramen noodles to dip. The Birria was really great, flavourful and it was piping hot so the cheese was super melty and dipped in the jus was even better. I also appreciated the spice on the chunky green salsa. The ramen noodles in the jus was just OK but isn't necessary. As for drinks, we all tried a few. I got the dirty horchata which was nice, alittle sweet for me tho so could only have one. And I tried the miso margarita which was quite heavy on the cucumber. I'm a classic marg gal so would be nice to have the option of a classic on the menu. The wait staff was really nice and the food came out quickly. The ambience was bumpin and the decor inside is fun! Overall we had a good time and good food!

    Tacos!

    Before food: wasn't sure about Mexican/Japanese fusion. After meal: still not 100% sure about this fusion. Mexican oyakodon was different than a typical Japanese oyakodon as it came with avocado and your choice of salsa. Enchiladas had a choice of protein, I chose teriyaki beef - interesting and tasty combo, and super generous with the cheese, but I'd prefer classic enchiladas. Regardless, an innovative place that's not afraid to step outside the box. A for effort. Though, from the dishes we ordered, I don't feel like they a) fully worked (the fusion), or b) not 'fusion'ed' enough. It was worth trying, and I'd be back to try other menu items because the quality of ingredients and cooking are both high! The service was very friendly, though be 20% gratuity for large groups!

    The restaurant is quite spacious and family friendly. The tacos come with salsa sauce of choice but there were so many of us and we all ordered tacos so they gave us a platter of sauces. There was no labels so we have volunteers to see which ones were the less spicy ones. I had the chicken karaagge tacos. My impression was the chicken was fried really well and it goes really well with the fresh veggies and sauces. My only complaint is there are not enough salsas to go around for us. Our friend said that adding the ramen for the Burria-Dilla is a must. The ramen reminds her of migoreng. I actually had a lot of fried chicken that night since we need to finish my son's taco bowl as well. The place is feels very welcoming. The best part her is they were playing Sailormoon on the TV. They also offer brunch if you are into Mexican Japanese fusion brunch. There are free and paid street parking available.

    I happened to be riding past the area on my scooter and remembered an article earlier this week about Miso Tacos. I came for the Happy Hour combo with beer. I chose the tuna tataki with Diego's hot sauce and a Twin Sails Hazy IPA. The hot sauce was slow to respond but has a bite. The tuna tataki has a nice touch to the taco.

    Miso Taco on Cambie opened about a month ago and has gained popularity for their fusion Japanese-Mexican dishes! I went there on a Sunday afternoon so it was crowded, we had to put our names on a waitlist for a party of 4 and got in like 20mins after (not too bad). The place is good but don't think it can accomodate a big party. We ordered non-alcoholic drinks but there were all soo good! I would say that was the highlight of the restaurant, would recommend the - Like a Virgin, Jamaica Me Crazy, and Passion Colada For food - :: Kimchi nachos - best dish on the menu! They fries were cheesy and layered with perfection. The taste of the kimchi was amazing and the dipping sauce was so good. Would highly recommend this - 5/5 :: Birria-Dilla tacos - Also excellent, it was basically a quesadilla filled with birria and had the birria dipping sauce. Loved it! 5/5 :: Ramen my wrap - not the best, it was pretty bland.. lacked flavour and the ramen in a wrap didn't stand out to me as much. 2/5 :: Chicken karaage tacos - I had high expectations from this but it didn't stick. The karaage was dry and it was hard to have it unless you pour a lot of sauce on there. 3/5 The service was not bad, they took 15-20mins to take our order and another 30mins to get the food. They were very busy and had only one staff taking orders. I would recommend them to have more staff during busier hours to speed up the service.

Definitely not better than a good Mexican street corn though. Birria Taco - wanted to like this but didn't leave much to be desired. Large portions of protein Ordered the extra Birria as my date also wanted this. Looking back, should have stuck with the single order. It was way too much birria protein which after a few bites became overly dry and lacked flavour. Carnitas Tacos - come in a order of 2. Better option for smaller appetites. Overall, felt a bit steep in price. Their website online doesn't even post prices yet.

The short rib stroganoff was deeply savory, rich, tender ribbons of beef folded into wide noodles with plenty of earthy wild mushrooms. It's deeply satisfying, though with all that rich sauce, the last few bites can feel pretty heavy. We also tried the savoury Dutch baby, which had great puffed, crispy edges and a custardy center that held up well against its savory toppings. The cocktail program is just as strong, with well-balanced drinks that don't lean overly sweet. The Service Friendly, down-to-earth, and attentive. We were greeted warmly at the entrance and guided upstairs without any awkward waiting. Drink orders were taken quickly, water was refilled consistently, and our server had honest recommendations when we asked to compare a couple of share plates. Pacing between drinks and hot food felt natural and relaxed. The Ambiance Easily the standout feature of the experience. Set inside a converted heritage house, it feels like dining in a bohemian, antique-filled living room. Between the fringed vintage lamps, dark moody walls, eclectic framed art, and soft amber lighting, the vibe is cozy, quirky, and distinctly romantic. It does get a little dim once the sun sets, and some tables in the smaller rooms are arranged fairly close together, but the character makes up for it.
