[3.5/5]To me, Chancho is a taqueria version of the popular Meat & Bread, which should be known as the Carnitas & Tortillas. The simple menu with the only few options ensures their focus on doing one thing so well - delivering the flavourful roasted pork, which makes the tacos so darn good. Everything else here is great too – the corn flour tortillas, the fresh vegetable ingredients, and all the condiments such as the fresh salsa, the whole pinto beans, the pickled red cabbage, and the hot sauce. Like the Ramenman, they are located at a block that’s going to be redeveloped. I really hope we get to see the joint stay as long as possible.
Video review on my youtube channel: vancity food crew chancho tortilleria (I also have footage of their tortilla machine from Mexico)
.
Chancho Tortilleria is a new place, but its lesser known. They essentially do one thing. And they do it good. They do pork tacos, with soft tortillas made with a special tortilla machine from Mexico. It works out to about $10 per 1/4 pound of meat, so if four people go get a full pound and its $40 for four people. Go hungry as they give you beans and salsa and the tacos are delicious. They also do vegetarian filling but we didn't try those. I would return definitely for the authentic Mexican goodness.
Great restaurant. The tortillas are very authentic and the best I have had in Vancouver. The carnitas were very good I found it to be slightly too salty(for someone who loves salt) but it might have been a one off. The salsa verde was good could have been spicier. Best Taqueria in Vancouver reasonable price for the amount of food, unike La Taqueria where you are still feeling hungry after 4 tacos. Will be back.
