The vamos bowl is sooo good!! At first I was hesitant about the place, but the food definitely is good. My boyfriend had the trios tacos and it looked a little meager but he liked it! And three makes it filling. I also got a beef burrito to go for my sister and she said it was delicious! We had jarritos to drink which were nice and cool. The overall place is nice. But the smell is very pungent and stays on you once you leave. The owners are soo sweet.
Had the place to ourselves on a Friday at prime time so I was a little worried. We were in for a pleasant surprise as the service was fast, friendly and helpful. The true highlight was the food! Had the burrito bowl and an enchilada and they were freshly cooked, full of flavor and the best Mexican I've had in winnipeg.
This place has really delicious food. The owners are really friendly and passionate about their food. It's much tastier than any of the chain options I've had in the city. Fresh and made with care!
Absolutely delicious. Beats anything Mexican in the area. Good was fresh and fantastic. I had the empanadas and the tacos left wanting more. Will absolutely be back
My wife and I really enjoy this place. Everything is unpretentious, from the decor to the service. They're eager to please, and quick, but they give you space to breathe and chat.
The prices are very reasonable, and I find the portions to be "just right". Usually I leave with just enough leftovers for a midnight snack.
So far I've found the food to be delicious and surprisingly subtle in flavour. I'm not particularly worried about whether it's authentic - only if it tastes good. I especially enjoy the empanadas and the churros.
I've been there three times and every time I've left full and happy.
It doesn't look like much from the outside but the food was excellant and a bit different. The pork soup blew me away. If nothing else go for desert and eat the chocolate burrito. It is has the perfect chocolate filling and is served with whipped cream and ice cream. Soo good.
Weird place! But don't let that fool you!! It is on my top list for Mexican food! What a great little hideaway! Loved it!! Tamale was just as good as Mexico, don't ask for salsa ask for the pico it is yummy! Chips, homemade! Had the shared fajita (beef) filled us both up! I hope they keep it up. JC tacos still is best, but this little funky place comes in a easy second!
My date and I ate in the restaurant on sat 5pm. The server was an older asian dude. Very quiet but polite. We thought he was awesome. Ordered beef and carnita (shredded pork) soft tacos. The soft tortilla is freshly made. We enjoyed them immensely!!
My first time at this restaurant was wonderful, the service was top notch. First, they brought house made taco chips with amazing salsa which were unlimited (we had 2 bowls) and once we ordered our drinks and food they came very fast. The lemonade was very tasty and the vamos bowl with ground beef was amazing! I would definitely recommend this place for great Mexican food and wonderful service :)

Good food, good service, owners eager to please. Vamos Tacos is a little hole-in-the-wall kind of place.....it doesn't really look like much....it's a mix of mexican knick-knacks in what looks to be an old pizza place.....but I was very pleasantly surprised with some of the better Mexican food I've had in Winnipeg.
My wife enjoyed her enchilada, while I thoroughly enjoyed my tostada trio. All ingredients were fresh and tasty, with generous servings all around. The refried beans tasted home made, and weren't dry and pasty as in most places.
The house-cooked chips were awesome, but I do agree with a previous review that the bottled salsa could be better....though certainly not a big deal.
We also sampled the Vamos Soup. Very interesting. It was a delicious broth, full of big chunks of veggies and chicken. Great as it is, it's 75% of the way towards being an incredible tortilla soup.......all that would need to be done would be to add some hominy corn, some lime, some avocado slices, sour cream, and a handful of those delicious home-made chips.......now THAT would be amazing!
It's a mom-and-pop shop, with her in the back, and he up front. Both were very friendly and happy to share their offerings.
Anyway, I'll definitely be back for more.
Such a hidden gem! One of my favourite Mexican place in Winnipeg. Their chorizo is the best!!!!! Highly recommend.
Really tasty, fresh ingredients make delicious and authentic recipes. The lunch specials are filling and a great value. The restaurant itself is charming and clean. Most items do not include cheese, however it can be added for a minor fee if you'd like. I'll definitely return.
Went today for lunch. Was the first customer of the day as I arrived at 11:30. Heard the crew making my meal and it took an appropriate amount of time to be served to me. Got the chorizo enchilada which I'm sure isn't the easiest for them to make. Very tasty. Hot sauce is outstanding and also they give free chips and salsa. 10/10 recommend
The food is amazing. My favorite is the Al Pastor with cheese (ground pork and pineapple) burrito. One of the best food items I ever tasted. It comes with a side of rice, tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream. Family run business. Lunch specials are very affordable. We also tried the taco and the quesadillas and both are very good. The restaurant is very charming with a Mexican theme. Fun for a evening of drinks and tacos. One of our favorite places.
The food was good but very small portions. Cheese was extra for the taco. No choice for the tortilla. Corn tortilla is what we got.
The salsa was tomato paste. Yuuck.
Chips were good.
The waiter gave us good service and was a nice fella.
They had Mexican Music, that was great.
The restaurant is quite quaint, located in Island Lakes. The atmosphere was great, though it was fairly empty (we went mid afternoon so we expected that), the food was delicious we had their Vamos bowl and Burrito lunch specials. The service was a bit slow and it was difficult to hear our waiter as the radio was quite loud, but overall I would go back for their lunch specials
While you cannot compare this place to more authentic establishments or stand alone burrito joints in the city this certainly fills a much needed gap in Mexican styled cuisine in the south end. Portion sizes match the price and the flavor and heat 🌶 is definitely there. I’ll be back to try out their items.
