Video Review on youtube: vancity food crew el pulgarcito
.
This place is a nice hidden gem. Its all the way on Hastings, but it has affordable and tasty food. I got a regular sized chicken burrito and it was massive. The chips starter is good for sharing, and I definitely recommend the Salvadorean horchata. They have many other choices for food, and this is a good place for decent Mexican food.
Family owned and it shows. In a good way! The food is simple but very tasty. Nothing is done with excessive oil or salt so I always feel good after eating here. I don’t eat meat and I have two friends who can’t eat gluten. We all have an easy time ordering here... even the Chili Relleno was gluten free last we asked. This is my most visited restaurant 10 years running. To be fair I do live close by.
My partner is always on the search for new small, family run Mexican places for us to try. First he loves Mexican food, and second he finds these the most authentic and worthy of his money and support. We drove past this one in the morning and kept our word to come back at night. A smaller restaurant themed in yellow and blue: yellow walls, blue columns and blue counters. Hanging on these walls were paintings of birds on canvas, 3D sculptured front of homes, and a gilded piece depicting a court yard in Chrome.
