Growing up and living in California, I didn't realize there would be a scarcity of Mexican food…read more So, imagine my surprise (I know. Foolish American) when my friend and I were looking for Mexican food in Vancouver. La Taqueria was somewhat near (distance wise) to the suspension bridge. Definitely not walkable. It's in a more commercial area and we had a little bit of trouble finding it, but we managed to and good thing too. The food was so much better than I was expecting. It was absolutely delicious! Super cute interior with a good amount of seating. I want to make a note that this place did NOT have down time. There was always at least one customer at the counter or in line. I ordered the birria and I wish I had gotten two. My friend is vegan and was able to easily find something on the menu. Unfortunately, I forgot what it was, but she loved it too. I will definitely come back the next time I visit!

There are several branches of this restaurant. This one is in a rather remote area, away from any…read moreof the main business areas in North Vancouver. I imagine this is probably the least known location of them all. I expect that the menu is similar at all locations though. Having tried this one...I don't think I need to try any of the other locations. The food wasn't bad, but for what we got...I think it was extraordinarily overpriced. My daughter and I both ordered one cup of Horchata each. We were both in the mood for cheese quesadilla. On the menu you can order one 10" cheese quesadilla for $9.00. There's also a Mexican style quesadillas option on the menu which offers Two cheese quesadillas for $15.00. Rather than both of us ordering a separate quesadilla for $9.00 each, and then spending $18.00 total on quesadillas, we decided to share the two cheese quesadillas for $15.00. Wow...these two cheese quesadillas were puny. In all fairness, the menu doesn't state the size of the two cheese quesadillas, like it does for the individual 10" quesadilla. Still though...for $15.00, it really didn't seem like very good value. The quesadillas were delicious, but for $15? Really didn't seem worth the money. We polished off the quesadillas in no time and decided to head somewhere else for some more eats.

The hostess wasn't the friendliest and we did wait a bit before being greeted by anyone, but our server was great. She was enthusiastic and even brought us extra napkins because some of the dishes we ordered were messy. After sitting down we were given complimentary chips and salsa. Every dish is made fresh to order. Tacos: comes on a plate of 3. Out of all 4 dishes we ordered, this was my least favourite. It was still tasty, but nothing special. Barbacoa: everyone at the table enjoyed this dish the most. The beef brisket was so tender. It came with 5 warm corn tortillas. Shrimp taquitos: nice and crispy corn tortillas, we liked the shrimp filling. I also really liked the guac on top, it tasted so fresh. Enchiladas de pollo: the cheese and sour cream made the dish really creamy and satisfying. We also enjoyed the rice & black beans that came with it.

We also tried tacos and burritos and they were so good! The Tacos tasted like authentic street tacos from Mexico- highly recommended trying them! The guacamole 100/10!!!

The cold brew coffee beer was hands down my favorite so I hope they carry it all year round as it's not just a spring/summer beer IMO. The chicken tacos were quite good too - lots of flavour. They had a couple of seats outside where you can keep your dog, but the place is quite small and does get busy on evenings and weekends. This is my new favorite brewery in North Van. Can't wait to come back!

I shared enchiladas with mole sauce wiht my son who ordered chile relleno. - the rice and beans was disappointing. Tiny portion of it was crusty - some of it was hard and not nice to bite.

The mole sauce is not bad but it was spicy which is a bit weird for mole. - the chile relleno was not too bad There are definitely better places for Mexican.

Note that $3 is the price after you get a drink, but they have low cost drinks like a $4 lemonade which makes it a low bar to meet! Had the birria, pollo, carnitas, al pastor, and mole tacos. Had to repeat the order after because they were pretty good, especially in the afternoon after work! Tacos run a bit small, but for $3, that is totally understandable. Worth a visit if you are in the area! Great for group meals!

Has it really only been a week and a half since we last came here? Guess we really like this place!…read moreMy daughter had the cheese quesadilla again. I was very close to ordering some tacos this time but then...my eyes caught sight of the Veganachos on the menu. So I cancelled my taco order and decided to order the Veganachos instead. The kiosk that I placed my order from had a "notes" section so I was able to type in my request for "no cilantro." We also both ordered Horchata for our drinks. While I do enjoy tacos, I guess I naturally gravitate towards other Mexican dishes more than tacos. I just keep thinking that I should try the tacos here one day, simply because the words "tacos" is in the name of the restaurant which indicates that tacos should be what they specialize in. Truth be told though, I just havn't found myself in the mood for tacos on any of the visits we've made to this place. One day, I will try their tacos though! The Veganachos were pretty good. Most orders of nachos I've seen at restaurants are usually larger than this order was. It had plenty of ingredients on it though, and it was a very good size for one person to have as a meal. Not an excessive amount, but not too skimpy either. I quite happy with it. Next time though...I will definitely try their tacos!

You enter your order on the tablets and then wait for your orde the come out on the conveyer belt thing. I found the delivery of the product quite disorganized when I was there. Everything come out and there is no explanation of what is what. I just thought they could they could label what the vegetarian items were when the came out. Several orders got crossed and some had incorrect items in theirs. It wasn't super busy either. Our food was moving to getting cold by the time we got ours. A real shame as jackfruit Mole was very good but the meat ones were getting too cold for me to feel comfortable eating. I'll probably try to tell the cook staff to seperate the vegetarian from the meat ones in my order next time. Still worth a visit though despite all the hiccups

Apparently its more than twice the floor space as their current location in Port Moody. They plan to open up a patio in the back of their location soon.

They officially launch this August 28 with 1 free new flavored margarita with your meal. The bright decor and ambience was warm and inviting.

Warm, buzzy, and genuinely welcoming from the moment you walk in. The enchiladas are my go-to, saucy and cheesy and full of flavour, I order them almost every time and they never miss. But truly everything here is great. The tacos are excellent across the board, the guacamole is fresh, the nachos come loaded, and you should absolutely save room for the churros because they're some of the best I've had. Portions are generous and the prices are more than reasonable for how much food you get. The margaritas don't disappoint either. It gets busy, especially on weekends, but the staff keep things moving and are lovely the whole way through. A proper hidden gem. I go whenever I'm downtown.

They have a pretty good indoor space that can fit a good amount of people. Their food and overall vibe was very authentic Mexican food. They gave us a bowl of chips when we sat which was nice.

For mains I got their huarache de la casa, it was layered with tortillas (kind of like a cake of tortillas), carne asada, beans, lettuce, cream and cheese. It was cheesy and flavourful and super filling! I loved it! My friend got their gringa tacos which were on soft shells and pretty good as well. I would recommend this spot!
