Almost like the trendy Bottegas selling unique snacks, except not over priced. If this place was in downtown Vancouver I'm sure the line ups will be down the street. Loved it. 10/10

Packaging and utensils are all compostable and they use brown paper bags.

Heard rave reviews about this new Mexican joint in Maple Ridge and stopped by for lunch on a…read moreSaturday to check out their offerings. It's a cute space with lots of instagrammable corners e.g. lots of greenery, the light up sign on the wall, etc. and I can see it doing well in the neighbourhood. In addition to salads, tacos, nachos, burritos, quesadillas, tostadas and bowls, Taco Fan also has a wide array of imported Mexican products and hot sauces/salsas. Corn husk tamales, cotija cheese, and different kinds of canned beans are available so you can achieve that authentic Mexican taste at home. I'd come back for the cotija alone so I can make some authentic elotes in the summertime. Price points are extremely fair considering the amount and quality of food you get - I'd say the price point is similar to Chipotle, give or take a dollar or two. My boyfriend decided on three tacos, which were probably a substantial snack for him, and I had a burrito bowl, which was probably a meal and a half for me. He got the fish, steak, and chicken tacos and we agreed that the steak and fish were the best. I really enjoyed the light batter on the fish, which paired nicely with the fresh flavours of the salsa and accompanying vegetables. When I initially picked up my burrito bowl, I almost dropped it - THAT'S how heavy it was. I got one of the steak bowls which came with Mexican street corn and it was absolutely delicious. You get a really healthy serving of rice, beans, and vegetables, plus they load up on the meat. My only critique would be that the grilled vegetables could be a little more charred/well-done, which would pair better with the other bowl ingredients, as opposed to them being more on the raw side. Last but not least, I wish they had two additions to the menu: homemade al pastor, which is my favourite taco meat/filling, but I do understand it's super labour intensive, and homemade horchata/agua fresca. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Jarritos, but there's nothing quite like a homemade Mexican drink to cut out the spiciness of your food. All in all, Taco Fan is a really promising new spot and I will definitely be back to try out more of the menu.

This is probably the best takeout I have had in Walnut Grove, of any kind…read more And probably the best tacos / Mexican food I've had in the Vancouver area, outside my favorite spots in the center of the city. My goodness what delicious flavours! The proteins are definitely cooked with care and attention to the recipes. Each one is the quintessential style you know and love... Carnitas, Al Pastor, Barbacoa etc... But so amped with intensity and depth of flavour. And the right type of cook on them. The barbacoa (lamb) is delicious. Melt in your mouth tenderness, with a rich lamb flavour fortified by all the seasoning. The carnitas is definitely fried to get all those wonderful crispy bits. Mallard browning FTW. And the Al Pastor. The beat Al Pastor I've had anywhere, hands down. Pineapple forward sweetness, but perfectly balanced with the savory side of things, and then accented by the taste of the high-heat with a little charring. It almost had a tandoor-type flavour. Amazing. My family tried tacos, burritos, and sopes. All were great. But I think the burritos and sopes were the biggest hits. Very satisfying. There are so many other offerings that we will need to go back to try. From tortas and gorditas to enchiladas and sopas. And I am here for that challenge.

But the worst part of the experience was the service. Perhaps it was cause there was one person tending to many. He was Mexican. In his overwhelmed state, he missed some essentials. First, he gave us an entire platter of tacos w 4 small containers of salsa. I knew it'd be quickly gone so I asked for more. I also had to ask for lime. What? He didn't know we'd need lime and more salsa? It got to the point that I had to start grabbing the things myself cause it took him so long or he forgot. He looked annoyed when I did. So either prep us well for our meal or make self service easy, but scowling doesn't make sense.

My brother and I both liked the burrito (mine was asada and his was carnitas). I do wish guac wasn't extra (for $3), but I guess that's hard to come by at $10 nowadays.

You can't go wrong with Tacos, am I right?…read more Well with these guys, I'm not so sure... The staff here are very inexperienced. If you say you want Al Pastor or Carnitas or Tinga de Pollo like the menu board lists them first, the staff have to turn around and scan the board to see the english translation. So I make sure I say the Spanish version every time for the entertainment factor. But then... I'm not sure if it matters what I ask for? All the protein options taste pretty much the same here. Tinga de Pollo (chicken with chipotle) and Pollo Asada (grilled chicken) taste identical. You get virtually zero extra flavour or texture difference with the Tinga De Pollo. Same with the pork and beef options -- all very neutrally bland, somewhat dry, and all very similar to each other. The toppings are at a walkalong bar kind of like Chipotle. They're all very normal. A big sloppy bucket full of pico de gallo is the first thing, and the big metal spoon they use for serving it is typically dropped right into it when not in use and they dunk their hand in to grab it. Quite unappetizing really. The rest of the toppings are all just OK as well. The pickled onions isn't very flavourful just like everything else as well. They swim in a liquid that has a bit of a white milkiness too it -- also unappetizing. I make mexican pickled onions all the time and I have no idea what that would be. Being the only "real" taco place nearby, I've grabbed some take out from here a couple of times in a pinch... because my heart always tells me you can't go wrong with tacos. But my brain is starting to remind me how meh it is and that maybe we should go somewhere else. I used to rank these guys higher but I've started to learn that maybe I was mistaken.

Quick, convenient and contactless service, with hand sanitizers readily available everywhere inside. My order: Little Donkey $13: beef brisket, beans, chipotle & brown rice. Pretty "standard" burrito, nothing special, but you can't go wrong with this. Strong taste of beans, and the meat is a tad bit dry. The Fort $13: main highlights consist of chicken, tzatziki, and lemon potatoes. This was hands down my favourite, and it was great with the Valentina hot sauce packets (on the tangy side, not super spicy to me). Good portion too. Highly recommend this one.
