    Half the drink menu
    Denise S.

    This was a recommendation from a friend living in the Vancouver area who is friends with the owner. They send everyone here and I get why. The staff was super friendly, the menu is large with options for all, there are so many kinds of beverages available, and they have classic anime playing on the TVs! Win! We got there at about 2p, enjoyed a late lunch and were about to leave when they dropped the Happy Hour menu. Uh oh. And then we stayed another 20 minutes or so nursing a highball.

    So we made it back and had lunch here on a weekday this time, instead of dinner. It was much quieter at this time, just like our server last time had told us. This was great cuz it meant that we could easily get a table, and as the weather is cold these days, inside tables are all they have now. Outside dining isn't even an option right now. We got to enjoy watching some anime this time. There were 3 screens inside the restaurant, and each one had a different anime show displayed on it. My daughter ordered the Ramen My Wrap again but contrary to what she said last time, she decided she wanted the entire thing to herself and even ordered it with beef instead of tofu this time, so I wasn't able to take a bite of it this time since I don't eat meat. She also had the Passion Colada drink again. She said her dish was better last time when it had tofu in it but that it was still good with the beef in it. I had the Kimchi Nacho Fries this time. This was delicious. My second choice would have been the Sizzling Cheese & Mushrooms, and I still want to try that one some other time; however, I enjoyed these Kimchi Nacho Fries so much that it might be difficult to not order them again whenever next I get to this place.

    Mexican-Japanese fusion is such a cool concept! I love how creative the chefs at Miso Taco are. I tried Miso Taco, Poke Amigo, and Birria-Dilla, and loved all of them!

    Rating comes purely from a Tuesday taco-only special angle where for every 2 sets of tacos, you get the 3rd for free!!!! INSANE VALUE for delicious fusion tacos, we def will be back for this. For 4 people, we shared 6 orders of tacos for under $80 (before tip), happily walking out stuffed and satisfied. * Chashu Style Carnitas (4.7/5) - pineapple + carnitas = amazing pairing (if you're extra, adding mango salsa also slaps), we got a double order for this and it did not disappoint! * Birria-dilla (4/5) - delicious consomme, a little on the heavier side, classic beefy 'dilla. * Miso Taco 2.0 (4.7/5) - well fried mackerel, not too salty which I was afraid of since mackerel tends to be fishier, nice topping pairings. My only qualm was with the dollops of mayo cause my end bites were pure mayo oops, should've just spread it out myself. * Chicken Karaage (4.7/5) - JUICY + YUMMY. * Teriyaki Cheesy (unrated) - I didn't have this one, wasn't feeling too big on cheesy this day. Salsa selection: avo x2, mango, pico de gallo x2, and yuzu diablo. Cleared them all o7 We may have been seated in a corner but the staff were still super attentive :3 I never had to suffer through spice (from yuzu diablo) without any water, bless them.

    I wondered if this fusion would work - and it did! The Attako Taco and the Birria was my fave The service was good and it's a nicely decorated space

    I wanted to try Misco Taco for a long time as the mix of Mexican & Japanese street food sounded tempting. There were some good dishes. In our group of 5 we started with the Shrimp Chips and Guacamole which we all liked. We ordered: 2 rice bowls, 2 tacos dishes and 1 Ultimate Chicken Wrap. For the tacos and wrap, we had a choice of salsas and all of us took the Pico De Gallo. Portion size and flavours were good, but my ultimate Chicken wrap was not spectacular as I didn't taste the flavours of the chicken. I also had the Jamaica Me Crazy (hibiscus, lychee & lime) which was a refreshing non-alcoholic drink. Others had beer. We all agree this was a neat concept and some dishes had better flavours than others. Service was great and very helpful. Décor was simple but colourful. Music was loud and so was the whole restaurant as we could hear others talking near by. We'll return but not super fast.

    Miso Taco moved to Cambie street recently so we checked it out. It's a mix of Mexican and Japanese with some fun twists on both food and drink. We started with the hot cheese (queso) style which came with soft tortilla. The flavour and melt was good on the cheese. Just needed to come with a few more soft tortillas. We also tried the squid skewers. The batter was nice but slightly fishy flavour for me. For my main event, I had to try the Birria-dilla with ramen noodles for my jus. Picture a Birria quesadilla with the beer jus but with ramen noodles to dip. The Birria was really great, flavourful and it was piping hot so the cheese was super melty and dipped in the jus was even better. I also appreciated the spice on the chunky green salsa. The ramen noodles in the jus was just OK but isn't necessary. As for drinks, we all tried a few. I got the dirty horchata which was nice, alittle sweet for me tho so could only have one. And I tried the miso margarita which was quite heavy on the cucumber. I'm a classic marg gal so would be nice to have the option of a classic on the menu. The wait staff was really nice and the food came out quickly. The ambience was bumpin and the decor inside is fun! Overall we had a good time and good food!

    Tacos!

    Before food: wasn't sure about Mexican/Japanese fusion. After meal: still not 100% sure about this fusion. Mexican oyakodon was different than a typical Japanese oyakodon as it came with avocado and your choice of salsa. Enchiladas had a choice of protein, I chose teriyaki beef - interesting and tasty combo, and super generous with the cheese, but I'd prefer classic enchiladas. Regardless, an innovative place that's not afraid to step outside the box. A for effort. Though, from the dishes we ordered, I don't feel like they a) fully worked (the fusion), or b) not 'fusion'ed' enough. It was worth trying, and I'd be back to try other menu items because the quality of ingredients and cooking are both high! The service was very friendly, though be 20% gratuity for large groups!

    The restaurant is quite spacious and family friendly. The tacos come with salsa sauce of choice but there were so many of us and we all ordered tacos so they gave us a platter of sauces. There was no labels so we have volunteers to see which ones were the less spicy ones. I had the chicken karaagge tacos. My impression was the chicken was fried really well and it goes really well with the fresh veggies and sauces. My only complaint is there are not enough salsas to go around for us. Our friend said that adding the ramen for the Burria-Dilla is a must. The ramen reminds her of migoreng. I actually had a lot of fried chicken that night since we need to finish my son's taco bowl as well. The place is feels very welcoming. The best part her is they were playing Sailormoon on the TV. They also offer brunch if you are into Mexican Japanese fusion brunch. There are free and paid street parking available.

    I happened to be riding past the area on my scooter and remembered an article earlier this week about Miso Tacos. I came for the Happy Hour combo with beer. I chose the tuna tataki with Diego's hot sauce and a Twin Sails Hazy IPA. The hot sauce was slow to respond but has a bite. The tuna tataki has a nice touch to the taco.

    Miso Taco on Cambie opened about a month ago and has gained popularity for their fusion Japanese-Mexican dishes! I went there on a Sunday afternoon so it was crowded, we had to put our names on a waitlist for a party of 4 and got in like 20mins after (not too bad). The place is good but don't think it can accomodate a big party. We ordered non-alcoholic drinks but there were all soo good! I would say that was the highlight of the restaurant, would recommend the - Like a Virgin, Jamaica Me Crazy, and Passion Colada For food - :: Kimchi nachos - best dish on the menu! They fries were cheesy and layered with perfection. The taste of the kimchi was amazing and the dipping sauce was so good. Would highly recommend this - 5/5 :: Birria-Dilla tacos - Also excellent, it was basically a quesadilla filled with birria and had the birria dipping sauce. Loved it! 5/5 :: Ramen my wrap - not the best, it was pretty bland.. lacked flavour and the ramen in a wrap didn't stand out to me as much. 2/5 :: Chicken karaage tacos - I had high expectations from this but it didn't stick. The karaage was dry and it was hard to have it unless you pour a lot of sauce on there. 3/5 The service was not bad, they took 15-20mins to take our order and another 30mins to get the food. They were very busy and had only one staff taking orders. I would recommend them to have more staff during busier hours to speed up the service.

    Tuna Tataco
    Andrea M.

    My partner was craving Meixcan/tacos so we came here since we were in the area. It was my partner's first time and she absolutely loved the vibes and ambiance of the restaurant. It was very nostalgic with the older anime being played on the TVs (Sailor Moon, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter). Our server was very friendly and helpful and provided their insight on the dishes we were inquiring about. The food was delicious and did not disappoint. I've ordered the Birria-Dilla and Tuna Tataco before, but wanted my partner to try. They recently changed their Tempura Enoki dish to squid instead, so we tried that. To my surprise, it was not what I was expecting (was thinking it would be like calamari), but it came on skewers and was very tasty. She loved all the dishes and added the restaurant to our "loved it, coming back" list. Service was fast and would recommend coming here!

    My fave item was the Birria-dilla which combines the popular birria taco with a quesadilla. It was very cheesy and delicious! The Chashu Style Carnitas Tacos had very tender pieces of pork inside and there was plenty of filling.  Both of these dishes come with your choice of salsa so we picked the Smoked Pepper salsa and the Green Avocado salsa. The Smoked Pepper one was really thick like a paste and I was not a fan of the smoky taste since it was a bit bitter and we liked the Green Avocado one better.  The Kimchi Nacho Fries sounded promising but I think it had too many onions for me (and I don't usually mind raw onions). It also came with refried beans, cheese and cilantro. We added on Chicken Kaarage and each piece was juicy. This also came with a choice of salsa. The portion was really big though so might be good if you have a big group to share with.

Sat us down, took our orders and brought us our food then quickly brought the bill so they could change tables over. The Margarita here was excellent. Definitely felt like a strong boozey drink. Well done! Tried their Chilaquiles - not sure what I was expecting but this was more nachos than anything else. Definitely not the best in the city either. Maiz De Cole - strangely the best option that I selected. The chilli, lamb, cilantro just went so well. Great light option if you need one. Definitely not better than a good Mexican street corn though. Birria Taco - wanted to like this but didn't leave much to be desired. Large portions of protein Ordered the extra Birria as my date also wanted this. Looking back, should have stuck with the single order. It was way too much birria protein which after a few bites became overly dry and lacked flavour. Carnitas Tacos - come in a order of 2. Better option for smaller appetites. Overall, felt a bit steep in price. Their website online doesn't even post prices yet.

Our server was attentive and around when we needed something but never interrupting, and his recommendations ended up being some of our favourite dishes. The anchovy olives were a standout, super crispy, packed with flavour, and not overly fishy at all (great if you're a bit hesitant about anchovies). The mushroom toast was rich, savoury, and full of umami. Just a heads up not to let it sit too long since it softens the bread. The tuna tartare was fresh and well-balanced. Not my personal favourite served on toast, but still really enjoyable overall. The paella was excellent, perfectly cooked shrimp, tclams, and crispy pork belly chicharrón that added the best salty, fatty crunch. The roasted cabbage completely surprised me and was easily one of the best veggie dishes I've had in a while. I could have eaten a whole plate of it. We wrapped things up with churros and shared a pitcher of sangria. For three people, it came out to about $68 each before tip, which felt very fair for how much we ordered. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately we do not have a reason to return.
