Went for lunch at Comedor by La Taqueria with my boyfriend, who's a huge fan of La Taqueria, and we…read morehad such a lovely experience. We grabbed a table on the peaceful patio, which made for the perfect relaxing lunch. We started with the guacamole and chips, then shared the pollo frito burrito, rajas con crema taco, tinga de pollo taco, and the Pescado Estilo Baja taco. To drink, my boyfriend had the mango margarita while I enjoyed the refreshing hibiscus drink. Overall, the food was solid and everything was fresh and flavorful. The only thing we both wished for was a bit more heat in the salsa--it wasn't quite spicy enough for our tastes. The space itself is adorable and really makes you feel like you've been transported to an authentic Mexican cantina. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

Last visit (takeout) July 2024…read more Have grabbed takeout here several times; it's never disappointing! The bang bang shrimp bowl (5 stars) is absolutely delicious and one of our go tos; I just wish it came in different sizes. It's not quite enough for those of us with bigger appetites, and just slightly too much for my wife's. But it leaves other fast food bowls in the dust Their crispy fish works better as a burrito than a bowl. Their crispy fish Burrito is as good as any of the fish tacos I've had at local dine in restaurants, which is impressive. 4.5 stars In a bowl, you get 2 large pieces; it would have been better if there had simply been more, smaller pieces. But delicious nonetheless. Crispy fish burrito 4.5 stars, bowl 4 stars. On the flip side, their bang bang shrimp makes for the best bowl (5 stars), but it tends to be less crunchy a burrito (4.25 stars) Haven't tried their pulled pork in a bowl yet, but it's absolutely smashing in a burrito, 4.75 stars. Extreme Fries: fries with the works (beef, salsa, sour cream) taste good, but nothing special. 3.75 stars Crispy Chicken Burrito: excellent, demands Buffalo sauce (of course). Recommended; Bang Bang Shrimp Bowl Literally any Burrito. Overall 8.9/10, 4.5 stars.

The place has a cute vibe, but seating is quite limited, so it can feel a bit tight at times. The service was extremely sweet. The staff was very kind and accommodating, even with the space constraints, which made the experience feel warm and comfortable. The food was honestly amazing. As vegetarians, we tried the burrito, chilaquiles, mushroom quesadilla, and tacos -- everything was delicious. The highlight for us was definitely the red sauce they serve at the table... it was sooo good. Portion sizes were good, and the prices felt similar to other Mexican spots around. They also had a nice variety of vegetarian options, which we really appreciated. Overall, a great experience and would definitely go back again.

We were seated quickly at 5pm and didn't wait long for our food either, so it seems to be a great place to eat before catching a show. The decor is nice - high ceilings, lots of natural light, tables not super close together. Service was very friendly and responsive. It might help to have a reservation at busier times because a line was forming as we left. The food was pretty good, more interesting dishes than your usual family Mexican place. The salmon tacos could have used a bit more sauce. The tostada was a perfect small plate. The churro dessert was OK - the churros were on the smaller side and a little overcooked, but we still ate all of it. Pro tip - get the 5 churros instead of 3 if you are sharing, as they're small. Prices were reasonable for a nicer sit down restaurant. We'd go back.

Probably more than they could accommodate. We were seated by the TV. Our food came out faster than our drinks, which isn't surprising. My thoughts: - Complimentary Tortilla Chips: Good. Anything complimentary is nice. I would assume they are in-house made. They are cut very large, quite thick and fried quite brown. Good, but not the best. - Hamachi Tiradito: Good. The hamachi portion is quite large (to match the cost) but still very good. A much more substantive dish than I had expected. - Birria Tacos: Good. Well made. Crips taco shells, and birria had lot of flavour. Service was fine. The place was packed for the game, but our server darted in and out and was always there when we needed him. So no problems. Overall a nice visit. Considering I visit Granville Island often, and haven't tried this place before, it was a nice surprise. I'd consider visiting again, even though it's a bit on the expensive side.

We ordered the chips, salsa, and guacamole on Happy Hour for $9 to share and I ordered 4 tacos (2 for $12 during Happy Hour) with the Birria, Nopal (Cactus), Pescado (Codfish), and Coliflor (Cauliflower). I also ordered the Hibiscus Aguas Frescas and my friend got the Horchata. The birria was massive and filled with a ton of meat but didn't have much flavour so had to pour some hot sauce in order to get some flavour. There was enough meat to easily make 2 tacos. The nopal was nice but didn't have much taste and was slightly slightly slimy. Have always wanted to try cactus so this wasn't half bad. The stand out for me was the Pescado as it was crispy and has great sauce and flavour. The Cauliflower taco was also solid. For 4 Happy Hour tacos, happy Hour chips, guacamole, & salsa plus two drinks I paid around $50 including tax and tips. Good service and the restaurant was getting busy on a Thursday night with locals. Definitely worth checking out this authentic establishment, especially with Sal y Lemon that relocated up South on Fraser Street.

The service was welcoming and friendly. The chicken mole stood out. The sauce is rich and complex, smoky with a subtle sweetness underneath, and you can tell real care went into it. It's a dish worth ordering if you want something with a bit of depth rather than the usual. The margarita menu is worth exploring too, with a solid range of tequilas and mezcals to choose from. Prices are fair and the portions are satisfying. A dependable choice for good Mexican food downtown, and a place I'd happily recommend to anyone in the area, just try to go during non-peak hours.

Our server was very nice and let us peruse the menu and asked us if we had any beverages we would like. We started with water and later on got a couple of drinks. Wifey got it believe it was LA Brisa and I ordered the house pilsner. After looking at the menu we decided to get a couple of appies a side and our 2 mains. After..I think we ordered a bit much but it was nice to try stuff. We ordered the Aguachile Blanco, and the Prawn + Pineapple Tostada. A side of guacamole. For our main dishes wifey ordered the Ling Cod Al Chilpaya, and I ordered the Pollo En Mole De Casa. We were given complimentary tortilla rounds with 3 mini dips.. salsa, roja and something else. They were all liquid so more for flavor than anything chunky you might be thinking. Once was spicy and had kick which I thoroughly enjoyed. The salsa liquid was fresh but tastewise kinda meh. The guacamole was very creamy and pretty tasty, fairly simple but fresh and paired well with the fresh tortillas. The Prawn+pineapple tostada came out and looked beautifully plated though we weren't sure how we were to eat this large monstrous tostada. I tried to take a bite by holding it up normally but ended up spilling juices on my shirt and not really being able to bite a proper chunk off. I ended up using my utensils and cracking the tostada on the plate into manageable bite size pieces and eating it that way. Wifey pretty much did the same thing minus the juice spilling. The Aguachile Blanco again plated nicely, flavor wasn't quite what I expected and I wasn't creally a fan. Didn't taste bad but it didn't really stand out to me either. Description noted a coconut hababero broth which I actually don't recall tasting any coconut not heat from and habanero. I just tasted it being tart.. My main the Pollo en mole was delicious, attention to detail on this dish was very good. It was pretty much a half chicken in two pieces. The quarter and the breast minus the wing. Everything but the drum and drummette were deboned. The skin was flavorful and chicken cook absolutely perfect. Super juicy and tender. Combined with the mole and creamed tomato rice it was lovely. I wish it had slightly more rice as the mole is super rich and a bit over powering imo. Green beans were cooked perfectly as well with a slight bite but not raw. Wifeys ling cod was plated beautifully as well.. they definitely know how to plate at this restaurant. I had a bite of her dish and the ling cod was tasty and the components of the dish worked well together. We decided to get a dessert after, no menu but were told what they had. Three options were churros, tees Leches cake with blueberries and topped with cream, or a flan. We went with the cake. Reading now exactly what that should be i think we were missing a component! We got the cake and it looked nice, the cake was sponge and the toppings were there.. but thinking back..I don't think we actually got the milk soaking the cake. The cake was dry and we were getting the moisture from the berries and cream on top. Felt unsweetened but I was kinda ok but I felt tres leches was supposed to be sweeter i think that was why we didn't actually get the main tres leches part! Otherwise a very nice dinner and we were full ending up taking part of our mains home as well as a bunch of tortilla chips plus guacamole.

Great ratio of chips and guac. I had the volcanes de arrachera and they were great. Skirt steak was tender, the spice level had a good kick without being too much, and it came piled high with guac. Definitely filling enough to be a main, even though it's listed under small plates. My friend had the tacos with arrachera and bone marrow and said the bone marrow was totally worth it. Vibe-wise, the place is lively and colorful without being too loud. Service was friendly and pretty quick, although we came on a slow night. Would come back for the tacos.
