Honestly I was apprehensive, as I'm more of a carnivore.... Pleasantly surprised though! Ordered the eggs benny, but I was conflicted about which sauce to try as I've never had either of the options. Our server suggested I have one of each sauce and I have to admit both are fantastic! There wasn't anything on the plate that I didn't love, and as an added bonus a decent cup of coffee. I would certainly suggest giving it a try if your in the area.
huge fan of this place. the spicy food is actually spicy. the portions are good and relative to the price for once, which I don't find to common in a lot of Vancouver restaurants.( usually I find myself say " that's all i get for 15 bucks. Honey we are going to have to hit up Uncle Fatihs after this") I had the enchiladas this time around. I'm not a vegetarian, but I love vegetarian/vegan food for the fact that you'll leave feeling full, but not gross full.
I love the food, the servers, and best of all, the incredible commitment to community and social justice that is built into this business. We're huge fans!
The food is always fantastic every time I visit. Try all 6 taco samples you won't be disappointed. Love all the local art and a perfect place to seat many friends. Best part...lots of Vegan options and yummy desserts.
I find service fast and the staff friendly.
Awesome restaurant. I'm a meatatarian all the way but this place is superb. I highly recommend any of their Baked Burritos especially the one with goat cheese. The nacho plate with goat cheese, mozzarella, and beans is truly amazing and very generous. Don't forget to take a jar of their spectacularly spicy orange salsa home with you for the next time you make some burritos.
I was amazed by this cozy restaurant, the food is delicious!! I totally recommend it �
Love you guys thank you for having awesome food to bring all my non vegan/veg friends to when I want to be able to eat more than a salad or a rice bowl! Keep doing your thang.
Ps. The service was wonderful, and super fast on a Sunday! Xoxxooxoxoxoxoxoxo
The food was excellent. For having all vegetarian items and no meat amazing! For all meat eaters a must try to see how being a vegetarian can be feasible.
Brava/Bravo for paying your staff fair wages. Happy to pay more for my amazing meal!
Service was great and we were seated quickly. Our Mexican brunch sure hit the spot with veggie bacon, poached eggs, beans, cornbread, salsa, guacamole and shredded purple cabbage. We'll be back!
Great Food, hope they come to Kits some time Had their ronny riley oppps Russel Taco's thought they were the best taco's i have had in a long time,Keep Vegging on People...

Bandidas Taqueria is a Mexican Vegetarian Restaurant. It has served all-day breakfast and local beers. My friends invited me to this place before Christmas last year. Both of us had such a great experience at Bandidas.
Location
Bandidas Taqueria is located in Vancouver right on Commercial Dr., which is 5 mins walking distance to Commercial Skytrain Station. There are so many restaurants around. Bandidas Taqueria is one of them serving up vegetarian Mexican - inspired cuisine.
Interior Design
There are lots of tables inside Bandidas Taqueria for different groups of people. People who come to this restaurant are first to come and first serve. Inside the restaurant, the restaurant space is quiet of an open and airy casual dining room. My friend and I had dinner at Bandidas Taqueria. Actually, this place is quite of bit busy. It’s a welcoming place and the servers are very nice and friendly.
Food
Because of a vegetarian Mexican restaurant, my friend and I have ordered two traditional dishes for ourselves. My friend had Ronny Russell Burrito and I had Horace “Lefty” burrito in a bowl (no wrap) plus Guacamole. Both of our food came out of the kitchen fast and in a huge portion of food. Ronny Russell Burrito is made by roasted yams, guacamole, black beans, salsa verde, purple cabbage, and toasted pumpkin seeds. Horace “lefty” is including spicy corm mix, pinto beans, fresh jalapeños, cheese, fresh-cut tomato salsa, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips. Both of the dishes are so tasty and delicious.
Price
The price of food is not expensive. Both dishes are around $11.50 dollars. It’s just right for the amount of food they serve. With this portion and quality of the food, I highly recommend this place! Definitely, we will come back to Bandidas Taqueria.
I had a tasty enchilada with black beans and mole. Super filling. Nice chopped salad on the side. Friendly service. Excellent mezcal sour. Thumbs up.
Bandidas has an excellent vegetarian slant on Mexican cuisine. The quinoa chocolate cake was smashing. The tacos are exciting in looks and flavourful. We had 5 of the seven choices and I thought it somewhat unnecessary for all of them to look the same. But yummy all the same. The stuffed mushrooms are on the decadent side but irresistible - just a warning. Staff is personable. Interior and ambiance were great. Even with a full house I didn't find it too loud. It didn't feel crowded and service was timely.
Amazing food - everything from the breakfast burrito to the Ronny Russel bowl is amazing. Great quality at a very reasonably price point. Everything is priced European style (taxes included in the price on the menu) which is a nice feature. Best thing is that even though it is a hipster’ish establishment the service is very un-hipsterish (people with fedoras, plaid shirts, too short jeans, and endless opinions who feel too good to serve anyone even though they work in hospitality); service at Bandidas is always excellent!
Back in the summer while planning a catchup with J, she suggested that we go to Bandidas Taqueria. Bandidas is one of her favourite restaurants in Vancouver, and she is not a vegetarian/vegan either!
Bandidas also seems like it is one of the staple and classic restaurants along Commercial Drive. I’m always down to try new places for my blog, so off we went one summer evening.

This is a popular restaurant located near the corner of Broadway and Commercial serving vegetarian/Mexican food. It is quite loud inside, with a casual, hipster-type atmosphere. For food, I got their Morgan Taylor Breakfast Burrito, and had it baked with cheese for an extra $2.75 charge. The burrito was fairly tasty, and the portion was big enough to keep me satiated. The service was fairly relaxed but friendly. All in all, while I wasn't blown away by this restaurant, I did enjoy my visit. This is a good option for vegetarians.
Morgan Taylor Breakfast Burrito ($10.75 + $2.75 for baked with ranchero sauce and cheese):
3.5/5
The burrito consisted of a whole wheat tortilla wrap filled with scrambled eggs, potatoes, cheese and sour cream, and came with a small side of tomato salsa. Although not enormous (at least not to a pig like me), it was definitely quite large, and was stuffed with a really generous amount of filling. The potatoes were well-seasoned, bordering on salty - I have a pretty high tolerance so I was okay, but I think that it might be too salty for some others. The eggs on the other hand were a bit too bland. I personally did not like the wrap that much; being whole wheat it suffered from a rather mealy texture. In spite of all the flaws, the burrito was still overall quite tasty and, in spite of being a self-proclaimed meatatarian, I actually didn't miss the meat here.
• pay street parking or take the transit, short walk from Commercial drive skytrain station
• now a bigger seating area, always a busy resto
• check in with the hostess as soon as you arrive
• glasses if water are pre poured by the entrance, personally I think a fly or a bug could easily get in there anytime
• they don’t have very comfortable seating that for sure; they were fixing the area near the washroom as they were putting the kegs- cold air was blowing and made me soooo cold
• sevice is just ok
• Food for sure is good, that’s the reason why people keep goinh back for more
• lots of veggie options available
• Tortilla soup $5.75 (half): 3.5/5 nicely put together, just a little bit salty for me
• Leslie’s L’il Quesadilla $5.25: ooohhhh really really good! The gooey cheese is the best ever!
• Estelle Burrito $9.75, add $2.75 for baked: huge portion! Share if you must!
There is hope for vegetarians in Canada with the presence of Bandidas Taqueria.
Best part - Almond milk available for your coffee. Good stuff
Bandidas Taqueria is a Mexican joint with all day breakfast. They have a new food truck and seem to make everything that they serve. Everything is fresh and quite delicious. Enjoy!
When you're ill-inspired and jaded by the same old same old, what does one do? Branch out of course! Shuddering at the mere thought of another omelette...we decided to forgo a "normal" brunch in lieu of the unconventional Bandidas Taqueria; brunch fare with a Mexican twist!. Admittedly, I was mainly won over by the promise of gluten-free french toast (Mexican it is not, but do you know how hard it is to find GF french toast?!) You don't even know.
Love the fact that it's vegetarian here! It's a good place to go with your meat lover friends because they'd never figure that it's vegetarian! My favorite here has got to be their ronny russell taco because you can't go wrong with roasted sweet potatoes! Then their leona gayle is a close second. The tofu mixture in that taco is so good you woudn't even know it's tofu. I can't get over it.
Now I like this place .. best Mexican in this part of wood . First time - Filling and a cool vibe place. Though vegetarian, it makes up for the lack of meat in the taste of food . Good quantity and service . Reasonably priced for the menu
Amazing vegetarian Mexican place. Great vibes and unreal food. The baked burrito is always a classic, however I am always tempted to get the mole enchiladas which are also great. Good drinks menu and the hibiscus and ginger margaritas are must haves
Bandidas Taqueria (人氣墨西哥素食餐廳)
Commercial Drive上有一家有名的墨西哥素食館Bandidas Taqueria，無論是all day breakfast、brunch甚至午餐和晚餐時段都經常擠滿食客，Bandidas每道菜不過十二、三元左右，以這樣平民化的吸引價錢，自然客似雲來。所以當Bandidas和Café Kathmandu (尼泊爾風味餐館) 比鄰而立時，前者經常有排隊人龍而後者總是小貓三兩(其實Café Kathmandu的食物也挺可口實惠的)；到Café Kathmandu關門大吉而原址被Bandidas取代擴充營業，依然見到Bandidas客滿火紅，你便知道Bandidas是如何受歡迎了。 我不是太愛吃墨西哥食物，總覺得不外是煮黑豆、牛油果茸加玉米餅等食材而已，加上本人始終對玉米餅的口感和味道有保留，更何況是素食呢！
【食後感】這裡的素食每一道菜都有不同的素食材組合，而且味道恰可。回想中式素食多半菜式不是太油膩就是以酥炸方式或仿肉的豆製品來吸引顧客，這等豆製品經過多番製作，務求達至肉類的質感及色相，早已不知加了多少添加劑。這裡的西式素食反而沒有這方面的局限，加上他們的素食以有機健康食材及健康烹調來奉行素食主義，非長期持素的人亦不妨試試
Dani’s Enchiladas玉米餅卷 $12 (3/5分)
內有三份包著芝士及南瓜粒的玉米餅卷，再放入焗爐焗至略帶焦香，而配搭佐餐的醬汁有三種選擇，分別為enchilada、salsa verde或mole (costs $1.25 extra)；伴碟可選沙律或豆加白飯
Fajitas $13.00 (3/5分)
Fajitas可說是墨西哥菜「移民」到了美國德州之後的fusion菜，屬於所謂Tex-Mex cuisine。傳統fajitas是用烤牛排或烤雞肉，而奉行素食的Bandidas一改傳統，用煙燻的Tempeh硬豆腐代替葷肉類作為主要材料，配以墨西哥椒poblano chile、洋蔥、蘑菇、紅燈籠椒一併炒香，吃時將炒好的材料包入玉米餅一起吃。伴碟有紫椰菜、白豆加飯、芝士及salsa和sour cream兩款蘸醬
We ordered fajitas and the Connie burrito, both veganized. The fajitas were good with a nice variety of fillings but needed some salt. The "Connie" burrito was excellent. The flavour was just right. I hope they'll consider making their dishes vegan by default or at least not charge extra to veganize.
Came here after the renovation! I'm pretty happy with the selection, and the prices are pretty okay for the quality I received. I ordered some enchiladas for dinner, and the staff were very attentive. Definitely coming back to try the brunch menu and other items.
Solid food! We had two vegans, one person who couldn't eat dairy or sugar, and one person with no food 'things' except it better taste good. We were all incredibly happy with what we had. The menu is massive and delicious, to the point where it's hard to choose. We each had something totally different and all received a giant thumbs up!
And the serving sizes are pretty large. Prepare to roll out. This place will be on my list of regular stops when cruising thru Van in the future!
First time here I wasn't impressed because I was expecting authentic Mexican. I readjusted my expectations to hippie-mexi food for the next visit and realized how awesome Bandidas is! I especially like the breakfasts -- benny, egg muffins on these addictive corn muffins, and the lemmy are my fav. The house-made orange hot sauce the provide is also fantastic (and really hot!)
I took my family to this mexican vegetarian restaurant. My dad doesn't eat onion and garlic so there wasn't much choice for him to eat. The waitress is very helpful. She helped us with the menu that my dad can eat. She has patience to deal with us. My dad has 3 taco that the choice of taco were arranged by the waitress. My sister and I had Hicks Benny. It's very yummy. Portion is good enough. Everything so far is good. Cant really complain anything.
Very nice atmosphere; service was friendly and food was good. I tried an assortment of vegan tacos and enjoyed them! Good flavour and perfectly hearty. I really like the aesthetic of the restaurant and the fact that there are lots of options for plant based eaters.
I have been here a few times and have always been happy with the food, drinks and service. They do get busy though out the day and if you are not a fan of waiting for a table, wouldn't recommend this place. That's to say if you come by when it's busy. For myself I don't mind waiting here, as I don't have too wait long. Usually can get a sit at the bar fast. I actually don't mind sitting at their bar. I am a person that dislikes sitting in bar areas and walk away and go somewhere else.
I ordered homemade nachos and their house special fajita's along with hibiscus lemonade which is so refreshing.. And my friends ordered cheese grilled burrito(lasagna style) with a side of cinnamon almond smoothie and they loved it too. I definitely recommend others to experience their hospitality and yummy food for affordable prices.
Hearty Mexican breakfast! I got one of the breakfast burritos and man was it filling! Service wasn't great but the food was hearty and delicious. I'd be curious how it is for lunch and dinner. We'll be going back!
The bennys here are always on point. Egg perfectly cooked and a tasty tomatillo or Ranchero sauce on an cornbread muffin. The only downfall is if the egg is hastily put on the muffin it gets soggy from the water the egg was cooked in.
This cozy restaurant is always packed- because people know the food is good! There's breakfast, brunch (served until the afternoon), lunch, and dinner. I've eaten there a few times- for vegan tacos, enchilada, and French toast. The coffee is good, the orange hot sauce (which they put on their tables) is a must-try, and the location is very convenient. The sourdough French toast was truly incredible! I'm going to go back for them very soon! They have lots of vegan-friendly options throughout the menu.
Very fun place for dinner. They have stellar homemade tortillas that are great with the fajitas. Using tempeh in the fajitas is a unique twist on an old classic. Lots of options, like tacos, burritos, and enchiladas, with delicious veggie fillings. Their habanero hot sauce is spicy yet addictive.
Great food, service and atmosphere, we definitely go there every time we visit Vancouver... Love the tacos! and the drinks.. and the desserts mmm!
Why I love this place: good food and service at affordable prices. I love their options for tacos!
Would I come back: yes
Would I recommend it to others: yes
Homestyle Hippie-Mexican fusion. They get vegan & gluten-free right. Perfect for a quiet afternoon nosh or a raucous brunch or dinner. If you are looking for muy auténtico cuisine, this isn't your place, but you'll find plenty of tasty, healthy, fun food.
I'm glad that I finally checked this place out, as it's only a short walk from me and I've been recommended it many times! It's a nice little place, cheap and friendly service. The sangria was light and refreshing, and the tacos were super flavourful! The enchilada was incredibly cheesy, but maybe a bit bland. I'll definitely be back to check out the brunch, or to try more of the tacos. Also, it's always a bonus for me to have my pick of the entire menu because it's veggie veggie veggie! (Although you'd never guess it at first glance or even after tasting)
Yummy Vegetarian Food!. The Hick's Benny (with smashed avocado 'filling') on their homemade cornbread was delicious! Great portion size and variety of sides, including some pretty darn good rosemary roasted potatoes. Now, don't come expecting great service or out-of-this-world flavours, but just simple vegetarian eats that hit the spot. P.S. prices include tax already!

This was a place I had wanted to try for ages and actually did for the first time a few months ago with the boyfriend (that’s Rowan, official Nacho Photographer). We loved it, though we didn’t try the nachos at that time. But we were vErY intrigued by them as they list three different types of nachos on their menu. We ordered two out of the three as there was a total of 6 of us at the table and three seemed slightly excessive/exhausting. (I know, pathetic) We weren’t super impressed of either, to be honest. Overall both orders of nachos were just OK. We were happy to be eating them (as we usually are with any nachos) but they didn’t wow us or really make us want to come back for more. I’d go back to Bandidas to try other food on their menu, but probably wouldn’t order their nachos again. If you don’t believe me, just look at Daniel’s expression in the pic below. Basically sums up our overall feelings of these nachos. However, we still had a BLAST! Margaritas are the best pairing beverage for nachos, by the way. And, we had a few beautiful nacho club guests this time as well: Adam, Margie, and Daniel, who all contributed wonderfully to the review of the nachos. Read on. ROUND ONE: HAMPTON NACHOS - Overall 2.78/5 (waahhh waaahhhhhh) Sex Appeal: 3/5 Yeah, I mean these nachos were okay looking. Daniel was quoted on saying they weren’t “sexy enough”. I don’t personally know Daniel’s standards of sexy yet we all agreed whole heartedly with this statement. They were just very neutral looking and didn’t really bring up any emotions in us. I think the only reason it got as high as a 3 is because we were starving and the sight of nachos cause
Great neighborhood hangout ~ bargain quality food and drinks. I'm not a vegetarian but I still dig Banditas. They use high quality ingredients to make good tasting meals at a very reasonable price. Service is warm, friendly and efficient. I especially like the breakfasts at Bandidas and really appreciate it that they serve good brewed coffee. Late night nachos are also a pleasure.
Will come again. This is a very cute place. The waitresses were very nice and informative, and the service was quick. We ordered the Pete and bits nachos, which were delicious (but a bit pricey)! We will ordered them again next time. I ordered the Rocky's enchiladas but didn't like it much, too many beans and the tortillas didn't have any seeming presence. It didn't take away from the experience though: the nachos and the wonderfully friendly service definitely deserve another visit.
If Vegetarian was this good, I wouldn't slam it so much. As a guy who loves his pork belly and bacon, I normally avoid vegetarian restaurants. This is doubly so when most of the diners resemble the cast of Portlandia. I was happy to be proven wring in this case. In fact I was so impressed, I will not only be back, but I would recommend this to others... seriously. it's that good.
Special mention to the Goat cheese dip. Don't get me wrong, I'll be back to killing pigs tomorrow, but this is a great place to eat.
Great food!. I've actually never had an even mediocre meal here, it's always fantastic. Friendly staff, lots of choices for veg people, and never disappointed. The only drawback is that it's so popular it's sometimes hard to get a seat, but that's easily rectified by going just a little earlier than planned so you can get seated when you want. Definitely try this place!
Service can do better.. Waited way too long for a table. We witness another waitress give away a table to a group that was "before" us on the wait list even though we waited for almost an hour and the group they sat came and waited only 10 minutes. Food was good, except I wouldn't wait an hour for it. My suggestion is to go early in the morning and not during peak hours.
Delicious Sunday Brunch. Came here on a Sunday afternoon for some brunch - as expected there was a short wait at the door for a table, but I got a table for 2 almost immediately. We shared caesars (which are arguably some of the best on the Drive), and I ordered the Black Beans and Cheese Enchiladas in dark chocolate mole sauce.
The food, just like every time, was delicious and guilt-free. I come in feeling absolutely stuffed, but the food here is far from heavy and on the healthier-side. I come here often, and this is a long, long overdue review.
I love Bandidas and I'll always come back to this neighbourhood joint. I really recommend the caesars!
Likes it. For good tacos and burritos. The setting is casual and it always seems busy. I also like the selection of different hot sauces and salsas.
Absolute Yum!. Incredible tasting and creatively prepared vegetarian tacos. the food is absolutely scrumptious and as someone who used to be an complete carnivore, this is the best taco I've had since that feels like an authentic, yet very unique option! Their food is also very filling.
Well done!

Not ideal for toddlers. First off, if you're not going with a toddler, the food here is great, and I have no complaints in that department. The rest of my review isn't a complaint per se, just wanted to give a heads up to other parents so they know what to expect. A big issue with Urbanspoon's "kid friendly" tag is that there's a big difference between a restaurant that's a good choice for a 2 month old, a 2 year old, and a 12 year old. I would say based on my experience that Bandidas would be great for kids starting at about age 5. But for ones younger than that, although they have high chairs and boosters, the place is very crowded and tables are tiny, which means keeping hot dishes etc away from a toddler or baby is difficult. They don't have to-go cups or plastic dishes of any kind, so it's hard to relax as your child is eating. The bathrooms are probably the biggest deal breaker, they are so tiny (not even a sink--there's a sink outside) that assisting a toddler at the potty is super awkward, and there's no changing table for ones in diapers. One extra tip, if you have a kid who is more adventurous than the plain Jane "kids' menu" but couldn't eat an entire adult entree, the tacos are a great option. I ate five and my two year old ate one (a Stella), plus she had about a third of the rice and beans that came with the combo.
Always busy....I can see why :). I've passed by this place and day after day and there is always a lineup. I decided one day to see what all the fuss is about and I can tell you now that I was not disappointed. Excellent service, great atmosphere, and great food at a good price. The wait is worth it.
OMG!!!! Amazing food, incredible prices, great staff and atmosphere, and best of all....you can taste the love in the food!!! Fantastic menu!
Amazing!. I've been going to Bandidas at least once a month for the past year and have had nothing but fantastic food, drinks & service. My favourite dish is the Wolf & Goat burrito. If you get a burrito, don't be a cheap ass, pay the extra 1$ to get it baked...you won't regret it. As for drinks, their margaritas are authentic and delicious- specifically the lime! All in all the food is fresh, tasty and best of all, excellent value. They don't take reservations so you usually have a wait a bit for a table. I have no problem doing so, as it completely worth the wait.

Kudos from the Non-vegetarian. Went there for a lunch on Thursday with a friend and it was steadily busy and after I tried the food, I know why!
We started off with the Hibiscus Lemonade which was refreshingly tart with both the hibiscus and lemon flavour shining through and the right balance of sweetness. We were pleased to see real hibiscus flowers as a garnish. It was a fabulous drink for a hot sunny day. This came recommended over the homemade cola and the hibiscus ginger which I was considering.
I had the fajitas which were made with smoked tempeh and poblano chiles. It came with pinto beans and rice, purple cabbage, 4 corn tortillas, salsa and sour cream. Now I am not a vegetarian and sometimes I find veggie meals a little unsatisfying, but this was absolutely not the case at Bandidas. I've heard from my vegetarian friends that tempeh can be hit and miss, but this tempeh was super flavourful and I loved the natural smoky flavour mixed with the grilled poblanos. The jasmine flavour of the rice was a surprise but really worked well and was very fragrant. Sometimes I don't feel well after a vegetarian meal because of MSG or flavour enhancers have been used, and I did not get this feeling at all. I think I've convinced my husband to try Bandidas which is also saying a lot. I look forward to returning ... the enchiladas at the next table looked really tempting!
Nice Surprise. Good eats. Big portions for a good value. Tried and loved the tortilla soup and breakfast burrito. Worth paying a bit extra to get it baked.
Love this place so much!. I have been here so many times in the past year, and have never been dissapointed. Everytime I have a friend or relative visiting the city I bring them here and they always love it too! I am yet to try something I like.
The service is a little slow sometimes, but they are usually super busy so it is to be expected.
Wonderful Food. I've been here twice and both times have been wonderful! I had the Sophies Stuffed Poblano with side salad. It was wonderful. The Poblano was stuffed with Pinto beans and a sweet squash. Very well balanced flavours. The corn tortillas that are served along with the entree was tasty. This is by far my favourite vegetarian eatery. The food was served quickly and the service was great. The only thing I really disliked was the loud music. It was hard to hear my lunch companion over the loud music. I will definitely return!
Service was cool but food didn't have much flavour.
I didn't know this place didn't serve meat until I sat down. I love meat but I still gave it a try and it was the best breakfast ever. Eggs, cornbread, veggie sausage and so much more for $10. I going hippie.
Good!. My friends took me here yesterday for brunch, raving about how it's their favourite place to eat in the city. The wait was quite long, but there were five of us and it's not the biggest place. Once we were seated the service was very prompt. I was disappointed to not see chilaquiles on the menu :( but I got the huevos rancheras and it was really good! Although I LOVE refried beans, I wasn't a huge fan of their beans... the cabbage & yam 'hashbrowns' were really good though! I will definitely be going back next time I'm in Vancouver. Can you guys put chilaquiles on the menu, pretty please?!?! Haha
Best place for brunch! The food and service are always spot on (we've been there 5 times). I tried the six taco plate which was awesome.... However I would like to see them expand beyond their basic ingredients (many plates seem like the same thing in different proportions... Though all are delicious). Recommend the Ronnie!
Delicious Vegetarian Mexican. We liked this place a lot. The food was really good, the atmosphere was nice and the service was great. Highly recommended.
A New Favorite!. The menu is amazing, and they can make all their dishes into a vegan options (using daiya cheese). I had their walnut and apple salsa burrito with avocado and baked in mole sauce- EXCELLENT! And so many other yummy looking options to choose from, I can't wait to go back!
I'm not a vegetarian. I love meat. Normally I feel like veggie plates are lacking but the food here is amazing. It doesn't even NEED the meat. The tacos are wonderful. The yams and sweet potatoes are delicious. Last time I had a breakfast plate with eggs, beans, cabbage salad, cornbread, guac and sweet potatoes, and it was lovely. The Horchata white Russian was pretty great too! It's a bit crowded and hipster-y but the price is good and it's a great date restaurant. My server Hollis was a Rockstar! Loved it :)
Everything about this place is great. Healthy, delicious, cool decor, friendly staff, tasty drinks, and dirt cheap. There is seriously nothing not to like, except maybe the length of time you'll have to wait for a table. I hope to be back at least once a month!
You have to try it. One of the best Mexican restaurants in Vancouver, if not, the best! Their salads are incredible, awesome prices on food & drinks. They also play great music!
Must try. What a find! The only problem with this place is that it's 900 miles from home. I eat at a lot of mexican places in California and this tops them all. Creative, but well balanced tacos; love the mix and match feature on the menu as there are too many interesting options and this feature helps move through a few.
Will definitely return at first opportunity.
One of the best vegitarian restaurant in vancouver!
Young vibes!
Ordered cheese baked burrito RONNY RUSSELL at $12.50
(Roasted yams, guacamole, black beans, salsa verde, purple cabbage, rice, and toasted pumpkin seeds)
What a treat to my palate, juicy, tasty, add a bit of spicy (their orange home made sauce.)
Top that with vegan chicken wings. Love the cumin flavour...
Tacos I wasn't too impressed. Warm burrito is nicer!
Very nice surprise !
I had that with a curi
osity cola. Very happy.
I've been looking for a vegan mexican influenced restaurant for a while and finally found my favorite place. Burritos are awesome. Dish sizes are bigger than you get in many other places. Atmosphere is really chill and service is second to none.

Mucho bueno, gracias!
A cool, laidback and hipster style eatery with a great vibe and dishing up yummy, fresh and wholesome vegetarian grub across a quirky fun menu. I had the Vegan Leona Gayle Baked Burrito with Cheese which is most certainly your best bang for buck option and my partner had a Quesadilla Smoky-Sweet Chipotle Tofu with Side Salad, after a starter of Chips and Salsa we were both stuffed and certainly a great feast with fantastic value for money.
Value aside, the food quality was great and fresh tasting. I love the menu creativeness and mix of veggie and vegan-based ingredients they use to whip up great home-cooked style Mexican grub. Being a local vegetarian joint with extensive vegan options and substitutes, this is one of my locals and a must visit every so often for a great banquet.
A couple of recommendations from me personally would be rad if they had refried beans for mains and churros for dessert! Gutted to see there was no Churro to finish off such a dope dish.
Also check out their homemade in-house habernero sauce, it's pretty dope! The staff were super accommodating and very friendly, happy to chuck me in a bunch of yummy fresh chillis in my burritos to make it nice and spicy!
Support local businesses!
Nourishing delicious authentic tasting food. Amazing options for veggie vegan and gluten free. Luxurious choice of cocktails specials! And the beer list! I'll come back until I phiscally can't anymore. A must see for any East Van visit.
Much love see you soon.
Amazing experience. Talented chefs and staff. Food is cooked with passion and served with love. Spectacular vibe for all your date nights.
DELICIOUS! Boozy horchata, boozy hibiscus lemonade, the cheesy dip, and 7 tacos with beans/rice and side salad left two big dudes *rolling* out the door. And all said and done with an 18% tip for under 80 bucks - can't go wrong! Highly recommend.
I really like coming here, the atmosphere is incredible. The staff are always so nice, the food is high quality and the drinks are on point. You will not be disappointed in this community staple of commercial drive!! Check it out on your next date night yall.
Easily one of my favourite spots. The food and drinks are always delicious. I love getting a baked burrito (all of the flavour combos are amazing) and their house made horchata!
