This is a small, casual restaurant in Yaletown, near the skytrain station, serving up a good variety of Mexican fare. I stopped by the place this Monday where I got a Quesadilla with Al Pastor and their large-sized (13") Burrito with Carnitas. The burrito was pretty good; the quesadilla was great. While I didn't think the portions were nearly as large as some other reviewers found them to be, they are quite generous with their ingredients (both the burrito and quesadilla are packed full of meat) and their prices are fairly low, making it a pretty good bargain. The food came quite quickly and the staff, while not the most attentive, were very friendly. All in all, I was quite impressed with this restaurant; it is definitely a great place in Vancouver for some tasty and affordable Mexican food.
13" Burrito (Carnitas, $10.50):
3.5/5
The burrito was filled with pulled pork, beans, and cheese, and was serve with sides of sour cream and avocado sauce (which I was unfortunately unable to sample as I'm allergic to avocadoes). The pulled pork was quite tender and juicy; it was completely savoury however, and I personally would have preferred some sweetness. They were pretty generous with the meat: the pork probably made up over 50% of the filling. While I couldn't really detect much of the cheese, the beans were creamy and flavourful. It was quite wet: a large amount of liquid/broth came out of the burrito when I cut it open, and it would probably have been quite messy to eat on the go. Portion-wise, I have to admit that I was initially a bit disappointed by the size: after reading some of the reviews from other patrons I was expecting something massive. Instead, the burrito I received was just of modest size, and not as big as the ones that I've gotten from Vallarta's or Bandidas. However, at just $10.50, I really can't complain.
Quesadilla (Al Pastor, $11.00):
4/5
The quesadilla came filled with pulled pork, pineapple, and cheese, and was again served with a side of avocado sauce. I really enjoyed this. The tortilla itself was hot, fresh, and had a great crispiness when it first came out (it did soften as it cooled, but was still delicious). There was a generous amount of pulled pork, which was tender, juicy and had a nice sweetness. The cheese, which I could actually taste here, provided a great gooiness.
Casual restaurant serving simple, fresh & authentic Mexican food along with a decent set of native/domestic spirits. Had lunch here with a friend the day before & thoroughly enjoyed my experience! The food here was comparable to what I had in Cabo (real deal). We had: steak plate, beef enchiladas, a side order of chips & salsa plus de leche for dessert. Service was commendable for sure. Would recommend to anyone looking for a "non-greasy" real Mexican dine-out experience.
I had the vegetarian enchiladas here and to be honest it's alright. I was just taking a break from playing and walking the dog across the street. It's not a big place but it's laid back. Parking is limited. But if you park on the marina side there's free parking. I would come back again to try other items. Service is friendly.
