I ordered the chicken mole for lunch. Honestly, the best mole sauce I have ever tasted! Slightly sweet and spicy. Lots of flavor. Black beans and rice yummy too! Perfect amount of cheese. Definitely a more healthier tasty meal. The atmosphere is full of color and cheerful. Very clean too. Tori our server is a gem. She made great recommendations and checked on us often. The owner even stopped by to hear our thoughts! read more

We went to Provecho on a sunny Sunday and sat on their little patio. I got the mahi mahi taco plate. The tacos were big and SO good! The Cadillac margarita was also delicious... I had to get two.. :) The owner(?) mentioned they will be revamping their menu soon and offered us a couple house specials that weren't on the menu yet. All of the staff were super nice and very attentive. We can't wait to go back!! read more

Walked in wondering what the new owners have done? We got a big smile and warm welcome for the hostess. We started at the bar... spicy margaritas were amazing! Next was Nachos... quick but nothing special. Ambiance felt nice. Then sh8 hit the fan. Dinner plates came in dirty with stuck rice. Then taco had silver foil in the bean & rice... side dish. They forgot the soda we ordered. Never checked on us after the food was delivered. Dinner was below average with above average check. Bonus was when food didn't settle and had to make few bathroom runs. read more

Ordered the enchiladas and as always they knocked it outta the park. Always smiles and friendly service. The atmosphere is welcoming and a great local place to stop in and support. We love this place! read more

My 7 year old son and I had a fun time getting a bite here. He got to practice his Spanish and the best quesadilla. Normally he doesn't finish his meal, this time he did. Great experience for us. Plus our server assisted in his Spanish practice and was so nice. And delicious hot sauce! read more

Delicious, homestyle food, showcasing family recipes from generations past and present. Friendly waitstaff. We simply love it here.

Had dinner at Provecho Saturday night. Excellent fresh ingredients, excellent spicy margarita, and very friendly and helpful hostess. Wish I had known about this place sooner but am spreading the word. All four of us in our party enjoyed our experience. read more

Great food and service!! Best Mexican food the area. Very authentic. The server and owner are awesome!!

My son introduced us to this quaint Mexican restaurant many years ago, and we have been dining here ever since. The food is always fresh and simple. The soup is made fresh each day and always different. The chips and salsa are a delight and made daily. We have always been kindly greater and well served by their staff. They have a simple menu accompanied by daily specials, which always capture my attention. We will be dining here for the foreseeable future as this is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. read more

It's a small place, definitely better suited for 2 - 4 people at a table. The food was delicious, but their menu is your standard, very basic Mexican restaurant fare and we were hoping they'd have some additional authentic, and more interesting dishes on the menu. Oh well, like I said it was all delicious, so it's certainly worth a visit. And our server, Soleil, was delightful. The Hubs and I each had a margarita, and they were excellent. We also had their chips & salsa, the Hubs had the enchilada special & I had the fish taco special. The fish taco was so overstuffed with veggies & fish, I would have preferred they serve it as 2 tacos instead of one. I ended up just eating all the taco filling with a fork because there was no way to pick it up and not have it falling all over the place. The reason I'm only giving them 3 stars is due to their high prices. I understand you pay a premium quality ingredients and house-made items, and inflation is a factor, but $6 for chips & salsa? Especially when you consider most other sit-down Mexican places give you complimentary chips & salsa, that price tag seems a bit steep. And $16 for chips & guacamole? Holy guacamole, no thanks. read more

I love this place! Magen was our super friendly welcoming hostess. She greeted us with a smile and immediately sat us. She shared the daily specials with us. Oh! There was no wait time. This is a family owned business. The owner gave us a smile even while cooking. There is the bar side and dining side. Your choice. I've tried many Mexican restaurants but, I must say- this is by far my FAVORITE place to go. I highly recommend this place and I am returning The food I had was amazing! The service was great. The ambiance was great. Thank you read more

Best Mexican food in the area, no dispute. The new owner is a delight and brought a new and amazing Mole recipe! My favorite restaurant hands down, and a very enjoyable place under the new ownership read more

Food has always been top tier but now that it's under new management, the service is also top tier! Will always be my go to!

We had tried to come before, as we had heard great things, and it was closed. They are apparently back open, so we came in. I'm so glad friends recommended this place. The menu is small, but the food was amazing. I got the chicken taco and lentil soup and my partner got the pork enchiladas with green sauce. Everything was delicious. Try the passion fruit kamikasi it is dangerously good. read more

New , friendly owners, but same amazing food with some new additions! We were happy to experience our favorites, nachos, soup, and burritos! The interior has been freshened up with some new paint and tables. The extensive list of rules have been removed. Don't miss out on the fresh, amazing menu, served with a smile! read more

Provecho is a cute little Mexican restaurant on Main St. The small parking lot shares space with several other businesses which can make parking challenging, the acoustics are terrible and it gets pretty loud when they have a full house, the service was good, the tables are cozy but close to other patrons, all that being said I love a good basket of chips and salsa when I'm in a Mexican restaurant, it also establishes a first impression on what's to come, in this case the chips were served warm but tasted bland and were thick, rough, and chewy. The salsa was average tasting with a thin watery base, containing the obligate onions and cilantro. I ordered a chicken enchilada with rice and beans and a red sauce. The first thing I noticed was the pinto beans were straight out of the can with a sprinkle of Mexican cheese on top, the skinny enchiladas and the sauce tasted like a mole that they tried to make a red sauce out of, the color was very dark and over spiced and finally the rice tasted like the lid came off of the cumin and they dumped in the whole bottle at some point. I should add that the price point was higher then most other Mexican restaurants in the area. I usually say try it for yourself, maybe you'll like it better than I did, but in this case I'll say try at your own risk. read more

The staff is amazing! They truly care about providing their customers with a great experience. The food is fresh and delicious, the margaritas are the best in town. This is my go to for the best Mexican food in Vancouver. You will not be disappointed. read more

My favorite authentic Mexican restaurant! So sad when I heard the owners may be retiring, this place opened my eyes to how good a fresh margarita could be! The service has always been stellar, I see many of the same staff through the years, and the vibe is cozy, great for a casual evening with friends. Always packed because this place is genuinely a local favorite! read more

We were on our way to Paul's, which was closed, so we stopped here instead. What a happy surprise! The food was so delicious. We ordered and gobbled it all up before I could get a picture. Green chilaquiles for me, and soup with a taco for him. Excellent and especially because the food tasted like what our abuelitas used to make. The decor is clean, colorful, classy. The service by Delila was excellent as well. I hope this business thrives. The former owners were grumpy so I had stopped coming here. Glad the new owners took such good care of us. read more

Their food and customer service is absolutely amazing! I hope they are able to open up again soon! Get their nachos, best nachos I have ever had and the hot sauce is delicious as well. Staff is super friendly! read more

Love, love, love this place! Finally a good Mexican restaurant of Oaxacan flavors that actually makes their own chips. I don't know why that's such a hard thing to find in the PNW but that can make or break a place for me. Dalila(sp?) was gracious and kind and we will definitely be back to try more things. Carne Asada nachos and quesadilla for our first time around and zero complaints. Yay! read more

This little hole in the wall is our favorite place for Mexican food on the west coast. We have never found better, actually not even as good as, anywhere we travel. Mexican is our go to type of restaurant especially when we're in the southwest. The food is just the best, fresh, flavorful and unique. I'm not a lover of soup but I often order it here. It's always amazing, I don't know how they do it. The mushroom tacos are off the charts. In fact everything is incredible. They do charge for chips and salsa but it's with it, not the typical offering but elevated to a new level. The guacamole is consistently excellent as well. I love this place. Margaritas are made with fresh squeezed limes and their not stingy with the tequila. I absolutely recommend this place and if you asked me I suggest you go after 4 in the afternoon, we go early and I don't want to wait for a table. read more

Best chips and salsa in SW Washington. Both freshly made. I've been going here for years. New owners kept it the same. Grubby!

This is the best Mexican food in the city. Everything is amazing. I wish I lived above the store. I would eat there everyday.

We have frequented Provecho beginning probably a decade ago. It's been a few years since we've been there and we were very excited to go back. This occasion was for my wife's birthday. Our server was so attentive and provided great service. Our food came and it was not quite as good as what we remembered previously but it was decent and we were excited to be back there just the same. We had brought a cake for after dinner and the server very kindly informed us that the owner requires a $10 fee to eat our cake there. We talked about it amongst ourselves and decided we'd rather not pay the fee and didn't end up having cake. When the bill came, we saw they had added an automatic gratuity of 20% for our party of 6.....the 20% was calculated with the taxes included which we thought was odd. In addition to that, they charged us another 3% fee for using a card for payment. We paid $198.00 for our meal after it was all said and done and for them to expect to charge another $10 just for us to eat the cake we brought seemed petty. We approached the manager (or owner) to voice our frustration and she literally said nothing in response. She offered no words of explanation, didn't even acknowledge our concerns and simply stood there with a cold look on her face. Our server apologized multiple times and was visibly embarrassed to uphold the owner's policies. We will NEVER go back and strongly recommend others spend their time and money at a business that actually cares about their customers. Provecho doesn't deserve your business! read more

The owner is rude and unwelcoming. The food is overpriced. Their salsa is great, but chips and salsa and 3 tacos was over $40.00. It just doesn't make sense, even with inflation, which is the reason the server said everything is so expensive. The drinks aren't tasty. If things don't change, I don't see this place staying in business long. Just my two sense. read more

This place is horrible in every way. And I mean every way. Save your money. Go to La Valentina. Really good food. Prices. Service. Not extra for chips. Nor Argumentative And actually know how a restaurant should be run. read more

I have come here in and off for years and look forward to the always wonderful guacamole and amazing chips. My entire family has a favorite. Mine is the chicken quesadilla. Fresh ingredients. Today a beautiful day and have a cold so ask to sit outside to not cough on anyone but be able to get a margarita. I was told no "as monkey see monkey do. "More people would just want the same a meal and fresh air they can't support that. I assume staffing is tight and running thin. I have had the same abrupt service now 3 times in 2 years. Something is off. For the future give up the drink order Uber eats to deal with the rude staff but enjoy the food Lindos Mexican on mill plain awesome service and mole' sauce I'd give a 5 for food and 0 for staff professionalism read more

Provecho - My favorite meal here - Mexican Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

One of my favorite restaurants in Vancouver, WA, and my favorite Mexican Restaurant In Vancouver, WA. The husband and I have been eating here for a few years and we are usually there 1-2x a month. They have a super cute restaurant in downtown Vancouver, with a small patio. Their food is fresh and always great. Their guacamole is the best! They seem to have access to the creamy ripe avocados year round, that us mortals only get part of the year. The salsa on the table is a mild well flavored green that I cover everything in, and the red is a smoky but spicy (I grew up in Phoenix, it's got a kick), that deserves to be sparingly dripped onto your food. My favorite drink is the Karlarita- a margarita with a splash of Chambord, perfectly tart and sweet with blanco tequila. They do not serve everything with rice and beans and the chips and salsa are not complimentary, but this is one of the reasons I love this place! I am not overeating on all those carbs and the portions for the tostadas and burritos don't leave any room for rice and beans. The chips are thick and made in house, which means they support a healthy dollop of guac and make excellent nachos. The nachos are piled high and a meal in themselves. We have been doing keto since the beginning of the year and we transform the tostada into a keto-stada by having them hold the tortilla and beans and adding guac and their secret pesto ranch dressing (which I hope they start bottling soon). Hope you enjoy! read more

I have been here 2 times now and both times the food has been excellent. If you are looking for Tex mex or super fancy Mexican food this is not your place. We originally came here looking for Mexican like you can find in California. Excellent food that feels like it is from a family owned restaurant. We found it in Provecho. The staff is super friendly and helpful. It's nice in the inside but nothing super fancy, not very big mostly tables for 2. I highly recommend Provecho, i know i Will be back aga read more
