Reviews for La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop in Vancouver, BC

Arrived at 1 on Sunday for brunch with a friend and although there was a fairly steady stream of customers, it was relatively... quiet and there was a table for us on the patio right away. The decoration inside and out is nothing elaborate, but I feel likethe layout is still thoughtful and I appreciate the unpretentiousness. Note that there?s some very prominent wall art insidethat reads ?Mexico is the shit?. I found this funny but maybe be aware of this before bringing kids if the language bothers yourfamily. The food was everything I hoped it would be! My friend and I both started off with the horchata, which seemed like itwas made with very high quality cinnamon - I don?t even know the right word to describe the specific taste of this cinnamon. Itwas almost floral? Very refreshing. I ordered the Enmoladas to eat. I love mole so much but I usually see it paired with chickenwhich I can?t eat, and was psyched to see it in a vegetarian dish here. The sauce was so good that I was painstakingly scrapingit out of the groves in the skillet after I was finished to get every last bit. The dish was presented beautifully and justseemed to be really well thought-out, with the enchiladas being very tasty and again made with great quality ingredients, butsimple enough to let the mole be the focus. The portion size was perfect - I was full but not uncomfortable after finishing. Myfriend had the Enchiladas with salsa verde and also very enthusiastically enjoyed them. I had a little taste of her salsa andagreed it was excellent. Price of the horchata was pretty reasonable ($3.5), the entrees ($19 each) were a little expensive, butit was so good and I thought the portion was pretty decent, so I wasn't too bothered by it. Their prices are in line withcomparable restaurants these days. Our waitress and the other staff we interacted with were really nice and genuine people. Myfriend and I were catching up and they didn't seem to mind that we hung around for a little bit aft Read more

We went to try the new breakfast and brush menu, it was a great way to start the day! The portions are really good. Authentic... Mexican flavor. The staff is always super nice. Really recommended Read more

Loved the tacos. The fish & guac were fresh and the flour tortilla was amazing. The chips were too oily but the salty taste gave... it a nice flavor. Also tried the chocolate stew chicken tacos. It had a unique and distinctive taste. Would definitely like totry other tacos as well. The staff was rude. They put me on hold during a phone order and no one got back in like 10 mins. Hadto hang-up and go to the store to order. Read more

One of the best mexican food I have ever had it in the city. Do try the classic cocktails as they are the best. Also the... Tortilla chips n salsa was amazing. If you fancy spicyness then do ask for spicy sauce on your dishes and music just added moreflavour to our company. Really worth visiting the place. Read more

Beautiful and delicious food! So many gluten free options! Tacos are made on corn tortillas and any burrito can be ordered as a... bowl. Absolutely no sound dampening, if you want to have a deep conversation or get to know your date, I?d recommend sittingoutside. Read more

We had a great time dining here. The tacos were really good and the drinks were great. The baja fish tacos were really good and... the ramen as well. Read more

Cauliflower taco was my favourite. It came with batter fried Cauliflower bits, onions, tomatoes and creamy coleslaw. Highly... recommend this. The rajasthan con crema tasted okay. The pastor taco came with pork, salsa and????. My husband really like it.And he also tried a new menu item, a taco made with slow roasted beef. He loved it. We also ordered their famous michelada.. itwas spicy and tangy and was perfect with the tacos. The churros with dulce de leche was tasty. But the churros were too thin. Overall the ambience is beautiful. It is great venue for date night. Will be visiting again soon. Read more

What a gem! Delicious food and a wonderfully decorated atmosphere. The molé taco was my favourite and the others were very... delicious. The guacamole and home made tortilla chips were perfect. Saw lots of people ordering the sopa. Too bad we were toofull to try it. If we didn?t live across the country, we?d be here at least once a week! Read more
