This is probably the best takeout I have had in Walnut Grove, of any kind.
And probably the best tacos / Mexican food I've had in the Vancouver area, outside my favorite spots in the center of the city.
My goodness what delicious flavours!
The proteins are definitely cooked with care and attention to the recipes. Each one is the quintessential style you know and love... Carnitas, Al Pastor, Barbacoa etc... But so amped with intensity and depth of flavour. And the right type of cook on them.
The barbacoa (lamb) is delicious. Melt in your mouth tenderness, with a rich lamb flavour fortified by all the seasoning.
The carnitas is definitely fried to get all those wonderful crispy bits. Mallard browning FTW.
And the Al Pastor. The beat Al Pastor I've had anywhere, hands down. Pineapple forward sweetness, but perfectly balanced with the savory side of things, and then accented by the taste of the high-heat with a little charring. It almost had a tandoor-type flavour. Amazing.
My family tried tacos, burritos, and sopes. All were great. But I think the burritos and sopes were the biggest hits. Very satisfying.
There are so many other offerings that we will need to go back to try. From tortas and gorditas to enchiladas and sopas. And I am here for that challenge. read more
