Welcome to my Follow Me Foodie Favourites & Best of 2011! Top 20 Most Memorable/BEST Restaurant SAVOURY Dishes & Food in Vancouver, BC! Locals & tourists must try!
I came specifically for the tacos since I was on a taco hunt. I did find these tacos good for Vancouver standards and they are authentic Maxican tacos. The meats are actually the most seasoned and flavourful compared to La Taqueria and Doña Cata.

It is a Mexican owned and operated hole in the wall eatery, but it just looked and felt more authentic than it actually tasted, at least for the tacos. I was rooting for it it and actually really wanted to love it too. At least it’s cheap eats!
If you’re in New York it’s not necessary to make the 30 minute trip out here just to try it, but it has opened my eyes and taste buds to another level of what “authentic Mexican food” really is. Nothing was dumbed down and it just had legit all over it.

TacoFino tacos are Baja-style tacos or Californian-Mexican style tacos. Texas has Tex-Mex and California has Baja and what do we have in Vancouver? Well not much, until now! This truck started in Tofino and I welcome it to the city with a thumbs up!
This is the new location for La Taqueria that just opened this year. The original location is in Gastown downtown, and both remain busy. It’s the most popular choice for tacos in Vancouver, but it’s not necessarily the best.

The owners, chefs and cooks are all Cuban, or of Latin decent, and they claim the food is authentic, but I couldn’t help but to think it was catered to American tastes, although still very good. The ingredients used are all fresh, local and sustainable.
El Caracol Mexican Cafe is a hidden gem and total hole in the wall specializing in authentic Mexican-Hondurian and Salvadorian food. It’s very popular to the Latin American locals in the area and it’s very affordable and traditional.
