Ordered a beef tongue and beef with avocado torta. They were pretty decent, there wasn't a whole lot of meat, the ratio of meat to bread was very small. Not worth the $20 or so per sandwich, it won't get you completely full you'll need something else. Also got the birriamen - warning its spicy, I wanted to give it to my kids but had to have it all to myself.The reason for the lowish rating is because I was trying to give a manual tip, and I accidently pressed enter so it was in cents.. but I asked her to break a 20 so I could put in money in the tip jar. And I did so. As a result, I didn't get any utensils at all with any of the items, and even when I asked for one, I just got one fork. Wasn't a smile, the lady looked annoyed.The food is alright, but probably won't be coming back if this is the type of service I'm going to receive.

The food was good but it was not worth the price paid.People dining on a budget will find better value somewhere else-$40 for 2 tacos and a sandwich is a lot- at that price the servings should at least be big enough but they were very small and we left hungry.

The food won’t be the best Mexican food you have in Vancouver, but I appreciated the atmosphere of the place and the service. We ordered the birria and al pastor tortas. The taste is not as faithful to real Mexican tortas, but they’re not bad either. The buns are way different from real Mexican “bolillos”, but I get it that it might be hard to get those here (if not impossible).We also ordered the tres leches cake and it was great, as well as horchata and jamaica water. Prices are reasonable for Vancouver.
As a native Mexican, I have high expectations when it comes to Mexican cuisine. Time and time again, I get disappointed with Mexican restaurants. The food was just okay. The rice is too soft, and the tortillas get warmed up in a microwave. I don't like to use microwaves to heat my food because it's not good for me. Yet, EVERY single Mexican restaurant that I have been to does the same thing! I don't even have one in my kitchen. The best way to heat up corn tortillas is on a non-stick pan. A comal would be best, but then, we are in Canada. The guacamole tasted awful! The chicken mole was okay, nothing that I would order again. Overall, the food was not great. The service was fine. The gentleman who served me was super polite and answered all of my questions. Apparently, everything is made from scratch, including the beans, mole sauce, salsa, and guacamole. The corn tortillas are purchased elsewhere. So I was told and I was told also that the tortillas indeed get thrown in the microwave. That's a BIG NO for me. That's a deal breaker. I won't be coming back to this place to eat. But who knows! You might like it! Paid parking only, free parking about two to three blocks in residential areas. washrooms are clean. Music is not too loud, which is appreciated.

Came in for the first time today and will definitely be coming back!! We got the cubano and the carne asada sandwiches. They were absolutely delicious. This restaurant makes you feel like you’re no longer in vancouver and instead suddenly transported to mexico. Can’t say enough good things, just that I can’t wait to

So I am confused by the rating for this restaurant. As of my review it has 4.5 stars. I can't begin to describe how inaccurate this is. This tiny place is boxing out of its weight class. As soon as I walked through the door I knew I was in the right place. The small cozy seating area made me feel content immediately. Then there was the smiling helpful gentleman that served me. Couldn't have been better. Then of course there was the Mexican Coca-Cola which is definitively better than Canadian Coke. Sorry Canada. The food took what seemed like forever. In reality is was at most 3 minutes but the wonderful smells while I waited was torture. To the food. I have not had a sandwich this flavourful in memorable history. It is entirely too large not to share but I managed the whole thing. Worth every bite. My only complaint is that there was so much stuffed into this sandwich that some refused to stay in it. Eat here. Do it right now.
Best mexican spot in vancouver!
