    One line review: Mexican food in Vancouver is... hard. We have very much enjoyed living in Vancouver the last 3+ years, but one thing it is missing (in our opinion) is good, inexpensive Mexican food. We keep looking, but we are not finding. Sometimes, I swear it off and try to tell myself to stick with other kinds of food. But inevitably, we try again. We came to Tachingon with an open mind -- and an open wallet. We ordered one each of all of the meat-filled tacos and took them to go: Beef fajita Chicken mole Lengua Chicken birria Al pastor Carnitas Chorizo Pork belly Cochinita pibil Gobernador Pescado They ranged from good to average in terms of flavour. None of them were very spicy, which some of you may prefer but which was disappointing for us. They also didn't overwhelm us with salsa -- three smallish containers for all of those tacos. This was neither a cheap nor super abundant dinner. We were over $50 (including a tip -- a little 'thank you' for being open during the pandemic), and two of us ate ALL of that. There were literally no leftovers. So not super high on the value scale. Service was decent though not memorable. We parked for free nearby, but there is metered parking there on Broadway. Bottom line: We're going to avoid Mexican food in Vancouver -- until we the next time we try again. But when we do, it won't likely be here.

    Such good tacos! We've been there twice and both times were amazing. The salsa is incredible: spicy but still very flavourful and smoky. We could not get enough of the tacos. It is so reasonably priced and the nicest guy who makes it for you. The place is small, doesn't having too much seating but it's perfect for a quick meal for two. Don't miss this spot.

    The best tacos we have ever had. The calabasitas taco was so incredibly good, we had to get a second and third. Excellent service, the place is small and only has bar style seating but it's absolutely worth it. Perfect for a meal alone.

    Glade to have found this spot by accident. Probably the best taco's on the west end for less than $5 a piece. The owner, Ulysses, will hook you up with authentic Mexican food! I've only had the taco's at this point, but they were spot on! The spots small with a few quick bar seats available, so either come early or expect to use the take out window that's on the street. Other than that, parking will be on the street, and yes they also do takeout!

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.

Warm, buzzy, and genuinely welcoming from the moment you walk in. The enchiladas are my go-to, saucy and cheesy and full of flavour, I order them almost every time and they never miss. But truly everything here is great. The tacos are excellent across the board, the guacamole is fresh, the nachos come loaded, and you should absolutely save room for the churros because they're some of the best I've had. Portions are generous and the prices are more than reasonable for how much food you get. The margaritas don't disappoint either. It gets busy, especially on weekends, but the staff keep things moving and are lovely the whole way through. A proper hidden gem. I go whenever I'm downtown.

The service was warm and welcoming without being overwhelming. Ask for Eleana, she took wonderful care of us while we were there.

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.

As well, the manchego was so tiny it was like a shaving . The bone marrow amounted to about three teaspoons of marrow. We were so sad and dissatisfied. The patatas bravas was okay. Unfortunately we do not have a reason to return.
