    California burrito
    Kayla G.

    BEST TACO SALAD W/ Al Pastor I HAVE EVER HAD! Update: I've come back 2x taco salad consistently good and portions are the same. California burrito is also 10/10! Aqua Fresca are a must, we tried the cucumber lime and it's light while being full of flavor, the pineapple is also really good!

    Far left - al pastor  Middle- chicken  Far right - braised beef

    Great, great spot! Clearly operated and runs well:) best chicken Street tacos in Vancouver for sure. Braised beef was bomb as well.

    Variety of salsas are available to fit your taste.

    Was in the area visiting a friend and we stopped by. I am always skeptical with Mexican food because I live in Southern California where the Mexican food is top notch so I'm often disappointed. However this establishment did not disappoint! This family owned / operated location utilizes fresh ingredients and as a result the flavor is phenomenal. I purchased an order of carne asada fries as well as a birria taco with consome dipping sauce. The portions were large and I was completely satisfied. Also they have a variety of fresh salsas / sauces to further tailor each dish for your taste. The staff are friendly and the prices are very fair! Definitely give this hidden gem a try!

    We catered this food truck at our work and it was amazing! I had the lengua and I had to come back for more. Service was great - people were friendly!

    Classic Burrito - Pollo (Chicken) and chicken tacos.
    Robert K.

    This time I got the classic burrito supreme with sour cream and guacamole with chicken. I also got 2 chicken tacos and the total cost was like $20.10. The burrito was gigantic. It was nice and hot too. It would have been better if it had some cheese in it. Also, I am not too sure why people put so much rice in their burritos. Way too much rice. I would rather more protein in my burritos but they all wanna add way too much rice. Excuse me, I will take my rice on the side please. The tacos are good but I don't think they are worth $2.75 each. 3 bites of the tacos and I was done. Also, they could spice up the protein the a little bit more it would be nice as it's kind of bland meat. It's still a good place and I am glad it's there. A lot of people go there now and I will most likely come back. Hopefully the nice owners will see my comments and improve the food along the way.

    Pineapple agua fresca
    Eunice S.

    Vancouver is lucky to have this truck. Service was excellent from the moment we walked up. Their seating area is clean and their menu is clear and prices are great. It was hard to pick which agua fresca. They even offer samples to make it easy for you to pick. Tacos were absolutely delicious. Lots of meat. A must try!

    Lengua taco and Carne Asada taco
    Johnny Q.

    I'm from the Bay Area and have been to Vancouver several times and this is by far my favorite taco place I have tried so far. I got 2 carne asada and 2 lengua tacos with the spicy salsa, with the spotlight going to their lengua. It was tender, yet had a perfect thin crispy outside from the reheating on the grill. The torillas were the perfect texture, and the meat was not too greasy so they held up well. The salsa wasn't too spicy IMO, but I wish they gave me a little more for my togo order. After I left that meal, I was craving them the whole weekend I was in town. Will definitely be coming back when I'm back!

    Finding authentic tasting cuisine in this part of Vancouver is challenging, but Buen Apeitto did meet my expectations. Folks were welcoming, and ordering was quick and efficient with their mobile-friendly system which is perfect for those who prefer to stay in their car and receive a text when their order is ready. Ambience was ok, but very loud being next to such a busy freeway. Heaters/covered area would be nice when cold or rainy. I ordered a birria taco which was good, asada was a bit too salty, but the adobo was delicious and not too greasy as they tend to be. Per the pictures, the onion and cilantro mix is very rich with the purple onion and could use more cilantro. Overall, the food was freshly prepared and reasonably priced with a great selection of sauces, favorite being the red sauce.

    Their tacos were so yummy! Friendly staff and got our food quick, it was fresh and hot. Will definitely be coming back! They're pretty cheap tacos too well worth swinging by! There are two tables with shade and they also had a little bowl for dogs for water. The pork wasn't fatty at all like carnita tacos usually are, best ones I've had in Vancouver. Worth eating at!

    Chorizo,  carne asada,  al pastor and carnitas . So good and generous portions!

The margarita was not tasty, the mix was off and the house tequila was not so good. I could only finish half of it.

Instead of rising to the occasion, she immediately said I don't eat meat then proceeded to tell me about all the high dollar meat items. lol I could not take her recommendation to heart.

I overheard the table next to me complaining about their fajitas. The gentleman said "this is just Chuck steak" and I had to laugh out loud before I left. Disclaimer.
