    Their special sauce
    Prem D.

    We were here for donner quite crowded place, but by luck we got a table without much wait. Ambiance was good. This is a mexican inspired vegetarian and vegan faire. Their oranorang home made spicy sauce is super good made everything bpeopr. We ordered PASCALE MARK Cheese, poblano corn mix, and fresh jalapenos on tortilla chips. Served with roasted tomato salsa and sour cream. Very good choice really kindles your appetite QUESADILLA Three quesadillas filled with melted cheese with cilantro Served with salsa & sour cream and rice & beans. Spicy home made sauce really helped here. Baked version HORACE "LEFTY": Poblano corn mix, pinto beans, fresh jalapenos, cheese, fresh cut tomato salsa, green cabbage, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips. They charge 5$ more for baked version. Horchata for drinks , which tasted good. Overall good experience.

    We went with a couple of friends for dinner at The Burrow, which is a Vegetarian/Vegan Mexican restaurant. We ordered Nachitos, 4 different flavors of tacos, two orders of the Leona Gayle Burrito, and some drinks. I'd heard good things about this restaurant so I have to say that I was really quite disappointed with our experience here. The problem with the food is that they put too many ingredients in. Especially when it comes to the tacos. As a result of trying to pack in too many ingredients none of the flavors stood out; consequently, everything ended up tasting the same. Less ingredients but larger quantities of the ingredients would have probably made the food better. That way we might have been able to properly taste the flavors in each dish. The one good dish on the table was the Nachitos appetizer. It was a simple dish with very few ingredients on it, so we could thoroughly taste the cheese melted on top of the tortilla chips and the flavor of the guacamole that we dipped the chips into. Our Nachitos was supposed to have Vegan cheese on top but the server made a mistake with our order and we ended up with real cheese on our Nachitos. Not a big deal for us as none of us were actually Vegan. We just wanted to try it with Vegan cheese. Since it was already at our table though, and we don't like to waste food, we decided to keep it and eat it even though our server offered to bring us a new order with Vegan cheese on top. Service: Fair Parking: Free parking on the side streets off Commercial Drive

    Spicy Walnut Lentil Mix Enchiladas

    This was a perfect place for a casual rainy day dinner. The atmosphere was so welcoming and cozy, and the food was hearty and comforting. Our server was so friendly! The format of the dishes is all Mexican staples (burritos, tacos, etc) but I feel that the flavours were not really Mexican. This is not a bad thing, though, because it's great food, just don't come here for "authentic" Mexican. They're doing their own thing. My friend and I got chips and salsa to start off. The "small" size chips and salsa is still pretty big and was more than enough for 2. We took almost half the chips home, so I'd say this could comfortably serve 3-4 if you just want the chips as a light appetizer. I like their salsa a lot. It had a fresh vegetal flavour which was a little unusual but good. And we were a little surprised to find that the bowl of orange sauce placed next to the salsa that looked a little like squash puree was actually hot sauce! I really liked the hot sauce too - it is spicy but has enough "volume" of other flavours that you can heap it on to get the best effect. I had the spicy walnut lentil enchiladas with salsa verde for my entree. I got the vegan version, which just changes out real cheese for vegan Daiya cheese. The "spicy" descriptor is best understood as "well-seasoned" and not "hot", because I didn't think the enchiladas were hot at all, but they did have a really nice deep and earthy flavour. They were quite filling. The salsa verde was delicious. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of Daiya cheese (it's a little goopy to me), but I did think they baked it well and had the right balance with the amount of cheese. I ordered this with the side salad which was beautiful and came with a tasty vinaigrette. The whole dish was very filling and definitely good value. I got a glass of horchata to drink too, which was creamy and lovely! Loved the foamy cap. Overall the place leaves me with a very positive impression and I'd be happy to return!

    I have been to this restaurant many many times and i must say that the name change does not effect its quality of food, the vibe and ambiance of this place. It is a very multicultural and welcoming space for all age groups. Casual dining experience. Great collection of drinks and food which is mostly blend of mexican - canadian. Vegetarian aspect makes the food even more interesting as the soya and tofu options are played around but you can always get vegan options as well. I like going here for a heart to heart conversations as well coz when you are in here , no body stares at you or judge you.

    ALL vegan Mexican-inspired food! It was not bad. The sauces were good. There was a lot of vegetables and it was all very filling. I wish there was more protein options! I liked the texture of the tortilla, mildly chewy and crunchy after being grilled! Service was good and the staff were friendly. The generally ambiance was chill and casual. Great if you're looking for some taco/burrito bites.

    Carlee T.

    The food was amazing, so much flavour! The staff were incredibly attentive and kind. It was our first time here and they helped us out with the menu and gave us some recommendations, which were awesome. It was a casual place with a warming atmosphere. The portions were huge and so exciting to see a decent price with a good quantity and quality to the food. We ordered -- boozy hibiscus lemonade tea -- the spicy walnut nachos -- the drumsticks w/ chili lime dry rub and sticky garlic -- 2 tacos (though I can't remember their names)

    3 taco deal

    The Burrow is very inviting with the right balance of homeliness and modernity. The server seemed to really care that I enjoyed my meal and gave helpful recommendations. I got tacos and a horchata. Keeping in mind that everything is vegetarian, the tacos were very good! Lots of ingredients, textures, and flavours. The server recommended the horchata with oat milk and it was one of the best I've had. Best of all, I felt like I made a healthy and unique choice at the end of the meal. I would recommend The Burrow, and I would HIGHLY recommend if you are vegetarian.

    This review is actually a 4.5 but since I can't do that on Yelp, it's a 5 ;) It had been a while since I've been to Bandidas. I've come for dinner and breakfast but I couldn't remember much other than that it was a unique and solid place to go for food and drinks! We came last weekend for brunch - pleasantly surprised that there was no wait! We all got coffees - great taste! Not sure which roaster they are partnered with but solid coffees. KEEP IN MIND - BANDIDAS TAQUERIA IS VEGETARIAN! So when you're thinking you're going for a typical brunch with bacon, sausages, etc. think otherwise. I got Sherman's Benny which I enjoyed a lot.. They are famous for their cornbread muffins and that was topped with goat cheese, caramelized onions, two soft-poached eggs, and our waitress offered us the choice of ranchero sauce or salsa verde but also said we could have one egg with one sauce and the other egg with the other sauce! Huzzah!! It came with pinto beans, roasted yam and potato hash, and purple cabbage. Our plates were loaded. Also at our table someone got Hick's Benny which was basically like mine above but swap the goat cheese and onions for guac and another got the Huevos Rancheros! So the portions were great, the meal very refreshing in terms of company to a normal standard brunch because it is loaded with vegetable and bean goodness. I am glad that their cornbread muffins bring a different dynamic and flavour to the restaurant. My boyfriend felt that he wasn't "wowed" and wouldn't return any time. Their benny fell a bit flat and the flavour of the meal was overall more sweet than savoury, given it appeared to be a savoury meal. He felt the potato and yam hash were his favourite parts.

    This place is amazing! Use to be called band ideas taqueria but has since changed. Still has great food with super fresh feeling ingredients

    Some of the best vegetarian food I've had with generous portions! They have the best nachos I've had out of any restaurant Ive been to. I'm a huge fan of their burritos and the hibiscus lemonade.

    Burrito with salad
    Melanie E.

    A perfect place if you love vegetarian and Mexican food. They offer quesadilla, burritos, nachos, salads, and enchiladas in a wrap, gf, or in a bowl. The portions are big and filling. I had the Leona Gayle which was just okay. I didn't seem to taste the smoky sweet chipotle tofu nor did I see any tofu. It was mashed to the point that it looked like beige porridge. Not a tasty experience for me but the rest of the folks liked their choices. Parking can be a challenge. They offer dining inside and outside. Definitely a busy place.

    Lentil and Walnut filling Enchiladas
    Priya C.

    We were excited to try vegetarian Mexican and headed to The Burrow for a weekend brunch. The place has a lot of seating and it was mostly full. There is a mural on the walls and dining is casual. The menu was extensive and we decided to go with some drinks, chips and salsa and ordered the mains as well all at once. The chips and salsa came in first and loved the spicy habenero sauce! The chips were noticeably tasty. Halfway through we inquired about our drinks and were told they're on their way. The mains arrived and still no sign of the drinks so we asked to cancel them. The server asked when we had ordered them and got back with an ipad and saying we ordered the drinks later. Guessing the order for the drinks was not actually placed by our server initially but later when we inquired. In general it was tough getting a servers attention as they were under staffed. Both the enchiladas (lentils and walnut) and eggs benny had good flavor and plenty in quantity. But the service dampened our excitement and overall experience.

    Baked burrito
    Alyson E.

    Goat cheese baked burrito, eggs benny Average burrito just baked. You can skip it Eggs benny on cornbread is amazing! I love traditional benny on a muffin but you gotta get this! Avo of course is a big plus. Quality corn bread. Bigger than average serving size. Sides of potato and beans are average. Try it out!

Ive had it before and at least its pretty consistent. Ive tried several other things on their menu in the past too, all pretty solid 4/5. Nothing standout as so amazing to deserve 5 stars, but consistent and tasty. I did have a reservation which they charge $10/person for, purely for donation to a charity and does not contribute to your meal at all, and also nonrefundable. While I find this somewhat annoying, I dont blame them for doing this from a business standpoint. They always have a lineup so there is no shortage of customers for them. There is no reason they need to deal with the headache of a ton of reservations. On the flip side, they honoured my reservation in a very timely fashion and I bypassed the line, so props to them for doing that part right. If you have to park, then you may find street metered parking or use one of the nearby paid lots.
