We didn't have a reservation and were able to walk in but many tables were reserved so I recommend calling ahead. The portions are huge and you will not leave hungry. The enchilada verde had a lot of flavor and a kick to it!

I've lived in Vernon for 6yrs and tonight was my first visit. Honest, the Best Mexican food I have…read morehad in years (and that's coming from big cities like Toronto and Halifax!) I have never liked guacamole until tonight lol and I'm old! The service was on point, perfect. Wonderful waiter and no interruptions but served as needed.

Not much to say about the appearance of this place. It's a whole in the wall, decorated similar to…read morea canteen. A small bar and a handful of tables is what you'll find inside. We came around 12:30 on a Monday. There was one table in and no one was really there. I was slightly hesitant and worried it was going to take long as there was only one person working but another one showed up. We ordered margaritas (lime and so delicious - they flavour the rim with a spicy/salty combo that went so well with the tart of the lime). My friend got the burrito and I got tostados (they don't do much vegan options but they are very accommodating). We also ordered chips and salsa (not a typical salsa but very good) and guacamole (which unfortunately came with cheese so none for me). The chip were fresh and not too salty or oily. The burrito was huge and my friend thoroughly enjoyed it. The tostados were piled high with fresh veg and pickled onions and topped with their fresh hot sauce! The food was excellent! Hands done a repeat place to visit. The staff were very sweet and friendly. Prices are good so there is no reason not to go!

I can't get over how amazing the nachos are here…read more With house made chips and a healthy smattering of toppings, every bite has a bit of everything and they are def not cheap with the fixins. Glorious whipped sour cream across the top with black beans, guac, Pico, 2 different types of cheese and cilantro, this dish is the perfect plate of nachos. Every dish we've had here was a winner. My personal fav are the asada tostadas, with a healthy layer of smashed black beans on a perfectly crispy tortilla, the perfect amount of toppings and a sprinkle of feta to top it off. Solely run by the owners, they are friendly and truly take pride in their food.

Got take out. Everything was great but the spice rating for their sauces is way off. It's much…read morespicier than rated. Mild and moderate are probably too much for most folks. My friends and I like spicy food and got the third level but it was like really really hot. It was tasty but order a level below what you normally do.

Westbank's newest restaurant is Barburrito- Tex Mex with a flair offering burritos, burrito bowls…read moreand tacos. When we arrived, we were greeted with an assortment of foods to go in the three sizes of burritos. I chose a medium white burrito with bang bang shrimp. The shrimp order was immediately taken to the back so I knew the shrimp was going to be hot and fresh. I chose rice and pinto beans though you could have black beans as well. The rest of the fixings were pretty similar to where you would find in any restaurant like this, like two types of salsa, onions, cilantro, guacamole (extra$) and a bevy of sauces. I got the works loaded on with bang bang sauce. There were choices for fries or chips on the side, and Mexican jarrito sodas. My burrito was delicious, with a generous helping of shrimp and a nice kick with the spice. My husband had the beef burrito and enjoyed it as well. Staff was friendly, quick, and we were greeted with a welcome and thanks when paying for our order. I'll return!

Expensive. Front staff plunked the menus and cutlery in the middle of the table. Better service…read morewould be to hand everyone the menus and lay cutlery for everyone. Wait staff didn't ask if we had any questions about the menu or chat with us at all. Brought a dish of chips and pico de gallo almost before we got our meal. Chips were stale and looked like the remnants at the bottom of the bag. Yes the burrito was large but nothing special. Fish tacos were very good, could have had more fish. Would not recommend to friends or family

I have been to Cantina Vallarta a couple times already, and every one of those experiences were…read moreterrific. I like how the establishment looks culturally friendly for the theme of the restaurant. The food is always good. They always serve you some miniature tortilla chips with chunky salsa, which is nice except the salsa is just diced tomatoes and onions. The side dishes like the rice and refried beans are delicious. The main courses are great. I have had the Veggie Chimichangas, Chicken Ensalada and the Beef Tostadas. I would recommend this restaurant to any one that likes Mexican Cuisine.

No sauce bottles were given. - Street tacos ($17.00 for 5) - can only pick one meat. Pork was dry and bland, salsa verde was tasteless - Enchiladas ($18.00) - opted for the beef with green sauce. Not enough sauce, beef was dry. Worst rice I've eaten at a Mexican restaurant; tasted several days old. Still hungry after eating both dishes Inauthentic, uninspired Mexican food at VM. Go to nearby Woody's Pub for their $13.50 dinner specials.

Everyone is very friendly and they make you feel like they are happy you're there. The decor is fun and comfortable. I really enjoy tequila, and their selection of agave spirits is the best I've seen in BC. Not only is the selection fantastic, but the two bar managers, Baptiste and Nicole, are truly amazing. They have a deep understanding of the world of agave and were so fun to talk to. I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

We decided to get lunch at Latin Fiesta Mexican Restaurant before heading out to a few wineries…read more It's a Mexican/Salvadorian restaurant that also offers pupusas and tamales. They're located next door to a Little Caesars Pizza. We dropped in on a Friday (around noon) and it was bumping. The inside is oddly spaced out with only 5 tables. There's an outdoor patio but it was raining so no one was sitting outside. You walk up to the counter to order first and pay. They call out your ticket number when your order is ready. The menu consists of 16 items (tacos, quesadillas, burritos, enchilada, soups, tamales and pupusas). Can't believe their enchilada platter was only $9.25 two years ago. - Enchilada platter ($15.00) - we opted for the beef and green sauce (tomatillo). Nice that they offer the option to get both sauces (red and green). Plenty of sauce given and the tomatillo came through. The ground beef was nicely seasoned. - 3x Classic tacos ($4.00 each) - we tried one asada, pastor and carnita. The pastor was easily our favourite; tender and flavourful even without any pineapple included. Carnita was also tender. The asada was okay but the most surprising thing was their homemade salsa. Really elevated the tacos to another level. Good Mexican food is hard to find but we enjoyed our meal at LF. Will have to try the pupusas and tamales next time. 3.5 stars.
