We tried some Mexican food here and the food turned out to be definitely awesome.This is the first time we tried Mexican food and it was the word the decision to choose this place.
First time trying this place it won't be my last i ordered the very delicious Super Tortilla Soup and the awesome Beef Burrito meal i give the food 10/10 they also have a very addictive bottle of green habanero hot sauce on the table it's got good heat and terrific flavour,the service was fantastic (waitresses should smile and not walk around with grumpy looks) i would recommend this place
Man that super tortia soup is awesome. Its safe to say its a little treat every time I come into Vancouver. The margaritas are pretty solid as well.
As a foodie, when I take on the responsibility of picking out places to eat, I do so seriously. I use my success to gauge my effectiveness, and today I think I did well. Although I went in having my work cut out for me. Today’s dinner was for a work function, and one of my coworker had very specific eating habits. Like she will try snails, but would refuse Madeleine’s from France. She ate to survive and not to enjoy, so finding a destination to impress the others, but would also cater to her, would be a tricky. Although, I usually find that Mexican food often caters to all, and it did so today. I also got her to vet the menu online before we walked in.
We were drawn in by the prickly cactus outside the front door. No maybe not, only kidding!! Actually we adore Mexican food & we were in need of a chilli hit after a cold day walking the streets & parks of Vancouver. This turned out to be above our expectations with great food & service. The fish tacos & vegetarian options were great & they delivered on that chilli too
We were back at my partner’s favourite Mexican restaurant. When he has that craving, this is where he comes and this is what we order, basically the same combo every time. So much so that to date this is the dish I have ordered the most of at any restaurant. “La Castia” is iconic with its cactus shaped landmark by the door. It attracted your attention and invited you in with a twinkling glow. The exterior hasn’t change much over the five years we have been coming here. Though I do think they swap out the piñatas that hang from the ceiling from time to time. All the other Mexican themed memorabilia have seemed to stay pretty constant. Like the colourful lucia libre masks over the bar, the palm trees in between the tables, and the stone and tile figurines that hung off the walls.
My girlfriend and I went here not expecting much. We were in the area and wanted to explore. Upon entering it was a very loud crowd. The energy is high and seating was limited since it was a weekend night. Our server recommends the bar, which is fine.
Our bartender was extremely friendly and gave recommendations. Let me tell ya, the margaritas are insanely HUGE here. It's the size of your head!
My Mexican friend had told me it's true, the margaritas are huge and the drinks specials are frugal, so they get you drunk enough to eat their food... Yikes. If your a true Mexican you know what good Mexican food tastes like, and since he's a red seal Mexican chef, it's more then enough to believe on my own standards.
We ordered the fish tacos, and the Mexican vegan dish. The fish tacos were wonderful and the vegan Mexican dish was delicious. The only downside was that there was cheese on my refried beans which is kinda weird if it's vegan. Perhaps it's suppose to be "vegetarian"? Not a big deal to me but it would be a big deal to a true vegan. Second, our food literally came to us in 5 mins. That is fast man! But unfortunately fast doesn't mean quality. Don't get me wrong, it tasted good. Nothing is wrong in their prep. It's executed way too fast that's all lol. As soon as we ordered I went to the washroom, came back out and my food was ready lol.
This place is a great place to socialize over drinks and food. Food is decent, but if your Mexican, it's Meh. Would I come back? Yes of course, for the same dishes, and perhaps the nachos. Food I would rate 3.5, it was almost a 4 for me, almost!
As for service, it's a 5/5 for sure. Excellent staff!
I really like the decor. 4.5/5
The food was very tasty. We ordered combination 1,3 and 7, and we found out that the portion size was huge. The flautas with potatoes inside and the beef chimichanga were very delicious! The Spanish rice, salad, and refried beans were great as well. The corn tortilla in the quesadilla was just simply amazing. Everything was very tasteful and kinda salty (i didn't mind the saltiness but my mom clearly did)
Food 4.5/5
Service was OK 3.5/5
I really like the simple and straightforward menu without fancy names for the dishes. that just makes ordering pretty easy for me cuz i know limited Spanish.
I had an amazing time here. Really cute, love the decor, the staff, the service and the food was wonderful. Those were definitely the best jalepeno poppers I've ever had! Amazing margaritas and everything else I had tried. Will be coming back next time I go to Vancouver. Great memories .
The greatest Mexican food in Vancouver! Their texas nacho is the best!
Good looking and friendly servers, nice private party space with stereo, TV, and couch, and the owner is really really nice!!
