    3 tacos; carne, fish, chicken. side black beans, guacamole

    We recently enjoyed a wonderful dining experience at the Mexican Corner for our party of 6 with a baby. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful, service was prompt, minus a 30 minute wait for our table. The Birria tacos were delicious, authentic. The 3 taco dish was so good! I chose the fish taco and the carne abdobada, and the chicken. I could have eaten 3 of the fish tacos, they were perfect. I'd go back for the beef as well. Even my dude of black beans was so good. Yummy margaritas as well. Nice ambience. Overall a great dinner with reasonable pricing!

    We went for a late night dinner at The Mexican Corner and ordered some tacos. They were full of flavour and exceptionally tasty! The service was quick and we received our food without waiting long. Located just steps away from the Village Gondola, The Mexican Corner is an exceptional spot after a day on the mountain.

    Chamorro al Pibil - delicious! Fork-tender pork with tortillas on the side (not pictured)

    Enjoyed my meal here, especially the chamorro al pibil thanks to our servers recommendation. Chips and guac were tasty and spicy. We didn't have a reservation and were seated with a group of 8 - go early and take advantage of their happy hour! Food was good, just expensive.

    So good! Me and my family had to walk around for about an hour trying to find a restaurant, but with a big group it was difficult. We finally settled on the Mexican Corner. It was a 30 minute wait, so I was skeptical especially because of the review average on Yelp. But the food was amazing! It was authentic from Mexico, and our server Amy was incredible and so sweet! We ordered the three amigos (best entree) though the guacamole experience isn't an experience, I don't know why it was highlighted on the menu. Get the fish tacos, might be one of the tastiest dishes there. Overall we had great service and extremely tasty food, and anyone leaving a review below three stars typically isn't reviewing the restaurant, but the wait time and the prices.

    Decor

    First off, this restaurant had a great ambiance, but the food I ordered was terrible! I ordered the fish tacos, and it barely had fish and was all fried batter. It literally had two bites of fish per taco, and the fish was dry. Another point is that we had a large group, and gratuity was included, but our waitress wasn't very upfront about it. My cousin saw it on her bill and then told the rest of us. I thought this was shady- just saying. Anyways I would never come back here. I will say that the others at my table did enjoy their food. Ps- cactus club tacos are way better than this!

    Camarones Zihuatanejo, Shrimp and fried Pork Belly in a red pepper sauce!!  Delicous

    First night in Whistler, walking around the village to see what catches our eye for dinner. We saw this restaurant upstairs and Mexican food sounded good. We were able to be seated right away outside on the little deck area. It was nice sitting outside, it was warm and just a slight breeze. Ashley helped out with the menu choices and made a few suggestions for us. We liked her ideas and after I ordered the Camarones Zihuatanejo. She said that was one of the lighter plates on the menu, so that gave me the excuse to order guacamole for us. L ordered 3 different tacos on corn tortillas, short rib barbacoa, Baja fish and pork pastor. The Baja fish were battered, but GF. The Guacamole and chips came out with some side salsa too. The Guacamole was good, but the only complaint was the chips were just on the stale side. My Shrimp dish was delicious, great flavor and the shrimp had a nice grilled char flavor to it. I was licking the bowl clean the sauce was so good. Her tacos were very good, she loved the fish tacos, especially since it's rare to find GF battered fish. She finished the Pork one too and had a little left over of the short rib barbacoa. I finished her short rib taco and was impressed how tasty it was.

    Such yummy Sikil Pak outside of Yucatan in Mexico, and that too in Canada! No way!

    After extensive research for our 8th anniversary special meal, the missus and I luckily found ourselves seated in a cozy nook at The Mexican Corner, and in the process we were transported briefly to Mexico for a wholesome lunch! And following a few hours zip-lining on the snowy slopes of Whistler, the flavorful and sumptuous meal here was just what the doctor ordered. The place was jam-packed on the freezing cold evening of the Family Day holiday when we walked in not-so-confidently without a reservation in tow, but we were so relieved when the kind host promptly ushered us to a table! Having visited Mexico a couple of times in 2018-19 and having an extremely soft corner in our hearts for anything Mexican (people, food, music, vibes, hues et all), the two of us immediately fell in love with the colorful decor and vibrant ambiance, and it felt like we were somewhere we belonged. We were already feeling quite hungry when we entered the place, so the aromas wafting around simply whetted our appetites and the growling of our empty stomachs added to the buzz of the busy restaurant. Thankfully Natasha came to our rescue right away with awesome recommendations, and then served us with delish drinks and yummilicious food oh-so-quickly despite the crowd! Muchas gracias. The drinks menu is extensive with many neat cocktail options, and Mezcal lovers such as myself will be spoilt for choice. We ordered the Passionfruit Mezcalita and Oaxacan Old Fashioned, and both were yummm *hic* To get started we ordered The Three Amigos for the table, and it is a perfect starter to share. This is a not-to-be-missed combo of their signature Guacamole and Pico de Gallo served with corn tortilla chips, Molcajete salsa and Habanero hot salsa. The biggest surprise was getting to relish the Sikil Pak, something we've not experienced outside of Yucatan, let alone in Canada!? No way! For the mains, we opted for the Ash Rubbed Ahi Tuna, and it was a great choice. The Ahi Tuna is seared with a chile ash rub, and is served with silky butternut squash puree, rajas poblanas and toasted pumpkin seeds. Must try! And no Mexican meal of ours feels complete without Tacos, so we went for a choice of three - a mix & match of Short Rib Barbacoa, Pork Pastor and Duck Mole. The Duck Mole taco was the best of the lot, but the other two were ok with the Pastor being a bit on the drier side and slightly disappointing. We would've gladly opted for a dessert but sadly they don't have any on the menu. Hopefully they do plan on including some sweets to complement their savory delicacies, and though Churros would be a nice addition, given their Yucatan influence I pray that they start offering Marquesitas (another personal favorite that I'm yet to find anywhere outside of that piece of Quintana Roo)! *fingers and toes crossed* All said and done, kudos to the management and staff for recreating the Mexican experience so far away from its roots. The Mexican Corner is surely one of the best restaurants in Whistler, and possibly in the Lower Mainland too. Cheers!

It seemed like a great deal - 5 things for like $7-8 but beware that each one is TINY so you'll have to order a lot if you are hungry. Still great quality. - The anticuchos were amazing. The shrimp one in particular is really really tasty, full of flavour. The chicken one is good too with a crispy piece of something. - there is a plantain croquette with amazing sauce. Great texture and it melts in your mouth while retaining crispiness. Tiny though. - the pork tacos are great. Great flavour and I love the chimichurri sauce. - the fries are only OK.

We tried a variety of dishes across both visits, and every single one was fantastic. The balance of flavors and the way different cultures are blended together is seriously impressive. Some standout dishes: the truffle ceviche was incredible, and the black tiger prawn causa had a sauce that was absolutely fantastic. The tallarín de marisco is a must-order, we loved it so much we ordered it twice. We also had the salmon anticucho and Colombian arepa, and everything was fire. Everything tasted fresh, well thought out, and perfectly executed. You can tell a lot of care goes into each dish. If you're visiting Whistler, Balam is a must-visit. It was easily one of the best restaurants on our trip to Whistler.

When you walk in you're promptly greeted by the hosts. We came mid week and tried their spring menu which was 4 courses for 33 before tax and tip. The server was prompt and attentive with a sincere, friendly demeanour. They were out of the tomato soup so we got the chowder and some chips and salsa (not pictured). Both were so delicious. The chips were ultra thick and reminded me of eating bugles as a kid, but way higher class. The salmon and chicken were way larger portions than we had expect , and done to perfection. Chicken is a little spicy but this is the type of service and cooking I liiiiive for! If you've ever had any other Earls scratch that out of your mind because when you come here, this is literally the place to be. Sticky toffee pudding also wonderful. It's not like a pudding more like a mini chocolate cake with toffee, vanilla ice cream and this almond florentine style cookie.
