I've asked people to recommend Mexican food in Vancouver and they've said Red Burrito and Chipotle 😭🫣

amandawtwong.bsky.social•2 days ago

I like Chanchos. Someone recommended the Tofino-created Tacofino which... yes.... but... I wouldn't say it's good Mexican food

mrlagace.bsky.social•2 days ago

Originals? El Santo? Sabor? Hugo’s? I mean, I’m no foodie but these places are all pretty darn good…

not as true as it used to be

Chanchos, La Taqueria, Las Margaritas are all solid

also a big fan of Las Tortas

or toronto- i can think of maybe one non-taco bell mexican place in all of the GTA and even then it's bougie and in the distillery district lol.

Once upon a time Vancouver did have a Kartel though

There is even a game about that: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/19048/the-nacho-incident

It's true.....half a dozen places in Bellingham that could wipe the floor with Vancouver's options 🙁

I love you Canada, I truly do. And Canadians are the best of the best. But I will not order Mexican food north of the border. (Or in most of the US, TBH.)

There's one place in Toronto that's pretty great! Distillery District. House made tortillas and chips. Guacamole made table side to order...

Im Mexican my friends that live in Vancouver say there’s one decent place I can ask them what it is lol

amandawtwong.bsky.social•2 days ago

I like Chancho

Even in the valley, trying to find half decent Mexican food is a challenge. There’s a decent place in Mission run by actual Mexicans, buts it’s still a 30 min drive for me. 😭

If you think it's hard to find in Vancouver, try one in Edmonton that doesn't end in -Time or -Bell.

Frida was great before it closed. There's also Luna, Maria, and La Patrona in Sherwood Park.

Still no cartels though.

lesliboldt.bsky.social•2 days ago

That's what I said! ;)

There’s also the matter of this huge country between us an Mexico. Such cartels would have to cross through that entire mass of land and multiple borders to be here.

I guess the crisis at the southern border isn't really a crisis if all they do is walk the length of the country and leave the end.

weedleplop.bsky.social•2 days ago

OTHER end 🙄

cindycanard.bsky.social•22 hours ago

you might’ve already tried it, I gotta shout out Adelita’s on Victoria & 36th. Ay Chihuahua is also real solid imho

markusmilner.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sure you can. Chancho, Cuchillo, Carnitas el Rolys… but it’s definitely not as common as in the U.S.
