Went for the Buffet and it was absolutely amazing, so many flavours and everything was cooked perfectly. The meat was falling off the bone, and all the flavours were there. Everything was hot and perfect temperature. I will definitely go back and highly recommend. Great service as well.

Food is ok, I expected more for the price. We went to the buffet and it was very limited, not a lot of options. If you're vegetarian don't even bother, might be better to order from the menu instead. The service was really nice and the place is big and good atmosphere. However they mostly have tables for larger parties, if you're a small group you might be asked to share a table.

I had great tacos from this restaurant. The employee was very friendly and asked all of my questions about the menu. We went on taco Tuesday where you can get 3 tacos for 12 dollars. The quality of the ingredients were great and they were all tasty. It wasn’t enough to fill me up but your mileage may vary. I would definitely come back here to try other items on the menu in the future! If you’re nearby and want to try good Mexican place, I would recommend this restaurant.

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a meal at this restaurant and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed. The quality of the food was top-notch, with great portions and incredible taste. In my opinion, the flavours were similar or even better than the Mexican food I’ve had in Mexico. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant had good vibes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Mexican cuisine around Vancouver. Try out the Mahi Tuna dish, the cream cheese flan, as well as the cucumber lime fresh water!

The only good thing about the buffet is the desserts; the food is either too salty or tasteless. They lowered the buffets quality this is the reality of Mexican restaurants in Vancouver.

Ok, this place is more or less set up like a fast food joint. Its neat, its clean and brightly lit. Ill give you that. Its nice they have the hand-wash sink at the side without having to get to the washroom. Music is much too loud, no good unless youre eating solo. Please turn it down! Service? What service? Like I said, fast-food level. You order at the counter, find a seat and someone will bring your order out. I object to paying first and asking for tips (on the machine) before Ive even received any service or food! Now about them food. I dunno about the buffet but the regular menu is really skimpy. Mostly just tacos, burritos and rice bowls. Thats pretty much it. Even the taco selection is pretty small, like theres maybe 6 options to choose from? The quality is ok. Just ok. Definitely not the best tacos Ive had, not even close. The tortillas are just like the decent stuff you could buy in any Mexican market here. The filling quantity is big, Ill give you that. In fact, Id suggest they should just give you 3 tortillas with the same amount of filling. It would look way better for a marginal cost increase. So the problem for a SINGLE taco, its $6.95. And despite what the guy says, 2-3 tacos is not enough, even for a little kid, unless its just a light snack. So youre looking at $14-21 for a small appy? Hmm....yeah, good thing we werent hungry. Thats the only way we got away with spending under $20 per person. If we had been hungry wed be looking at close to $30 per person, without any drinks. Is it worth a trip out here to try? No. There aint nothing here to surprise or delight you. Would I return? No. The variety is limited, the quality is just ok, average Id say while the price is high. Theres nothing unique to try here and its gonna be PRICEY. You want authentic Mexican? Even in Vancouver you got better options.

It was my first time in this restaurant and I absolutely loved it. Good mexican vibes since the moment you enter the place. Original music that brings you to Mexico and proper mexican food at a reasonable price. Since it was my first time there I asked Jafet for some recommendations and It was a good choice. Jafet was very attentive and friendly.

It is very delicious, one of the best Mexican foods in the city, very similar to that of Mexico. Its not TexMex fortunately. The only problem is that the food is sometimes not very hot but you can ask for it to be heated and thats it. This is a Mexican food restaurant that includes meat, eggs, cheese and cream, so you wont be surprised by the menu. I recommend it and of course I will return.

Bad experience We were a group of friends and BEFORE paying the buffet asked if they had vegan dishes and the person at the entrance told us yes. Once we paid it turned out that they didnt have any... the person lied to get them on the hook and pay everyone. The very kind waitress Majo regretted the situation and gave us the option of having the money returned to her and the opportunity to bring vegan food to the restaurant so that she could continue with us. It was because of its vegan food and when she wanted to return to the restaurant with us, the person at the entrance did not want to let her pass. I feel sorry for the fact that even though the person at the entrance (who from the badge he had apparently is the manager) had told her that there was vegan food and it turned out that there wasnt, just to consume, he gave her a hard time my friend and everyone for not wanting to let her pass. HE LIED TO HER AND ALSO HE DIDNT WANT TO LET HER PASS. Nor as a gesture of the mistake he made. We are very grateful to the waitress Majo for her great kindness, empathy and support in everything. You are an excellent person Majo! Vegetarian options: Yes there was, but as a suggestion they could also have vegan options. Identify and have knowledge first between vegetarian and vegan

Bad experience, good food. I went with a group of friends and one of them is vegan. We asked BEFORE we went through and paid if there were options for her. The guy at the entrance made bad jokes but in the end they said yes. Confident in that we went, paid and began to serve ourselves. At that moment we realized that the only thing I could have eaten would have been beans and chilaquiles but they had cream and cheese (and thats not worth the $39 CAD). Looking for a solution, we asked if we could bring food from outside; They said yes and when my friend came back with her food they didnt want to let her pass. In the end he came in but the bad faces didnt stop. We ONLY thank Majo, a friendly girl on the staff, who advocated for her and tried to liven up our stay. Vegetarian options: Beans and chilaquiles, thats everything and there are NO vegans.

The worst Mexican food experience in Vancouver, the burritos only have poorly cooked white rice soaked with a pinch of meat of your choice with very bad seasoning, accompanied by a ramekin of green sauce that is only water with a greenish color without any flavor or consistency, finally, the tortilla soup was a thick and lukewarm paste, the truth is not worth it, first and last.

I m from Mexico and I am looking always for a place that taste a Mexico. I highly recommend to visit the restaurant for the buffet on saturdays and sundays (yes, Sundays offer buffet). I went around 10:00 am and there was no line wait. Food has a really good flavor and variety. I am gonna suggest something for the owners: you need to set up the chilaquiles in an small container to keep them fresh because after some hours in the same place they look dry and nobody was eating them (so became in a food waste). Price is worth it, waiters are fast and friendly. Place is clean. I like I definitely will back.

Delicious food, I ordered some green chilaquiles and they were very delicious, the beans a little tasteless but they were passable. The service was very bad, they didnt bother to assist me, I had to call them. In the end I called them again to order a drink, but they took so long to answer that in the end I just asked for my bill.

My bf and I were super excited to come and eat here but were a bit disappointed with all of the food being cold, and appearing to have been sitting out for quite some time. The staff were super friendly though! However, you do have to pay at the door before you get to see any of the food so you don t really get the option to say you didn t enjoy it or have a refund, I m not sure I will be coming back here. It wasn t worth the price we paid.

Very impressed! I never have particularly high expectations for buffets, let alone ethnic ones. As a Mexican, I am also EXTREMELY picky about Mexican food and quite honestly, I am rarely happy with Mexican cuisine in Vancouver, however, I noticed a lot of other Hispanic people waiting in line so I figured it must be decent. I love the variety of dishes similar to what I grew up with. It truly felt like a brunch at my abuela s. The cochinita tacos and chilaquiles were a definite favourite. I don t eat gluten and there was a ton of gluten free options. My boyfriend loved the tres leches cake. For the price, I would say this place is absolutely worth your money and the service is really great too. Smiles all around. Will be back!

I went to their buffet on Saturday morning, they open at 10 I got there at 9.30 am and there was a line up already. When I went inside they charge you at the door which is understandable because it s very busy. The food on the buffet was great! They have lots of variety and lots of pastries! Which all tastes delicious!! They even had ceviche !! I do recommend the place just get there before 10 if you don t want to wait in line

Pretty good food in General but there are some stuff that you have to consider before to try it. 1. Waiting time can be around 90 min or more, since you form on the line until you pay to access. 2. If you go with a couple that can play against you on the line, because They ask all the time for groups of 5. (That happened to us two times this morning when we went there and people who was on the line after us just entered first). 3. I think the price could be way better. Parking: I suggest to pay two hours minimum, cause you could easily get a ticket if you pay less than that Kid-friendliness: Servers are really friendly but is not a Kid friendly place Wheelchair accessibility: There are no ramps and definitely is not friendly with people with mobility limitations.

Went here for their ACE buffet and it was really good. However, make sure to arrive early as after 11 am the wait time is 1.5 hours if not more. I waited for around 1 hour and 25 minutes and by the time we got in most of the food was gone including the desserts. They kept refilling the dishes but sometimes it would take awhile, they also ran out of conchas (sweet Mexican bread) and their creamed cheese flan which I was quite disappointed. However their Tres Leches was really really good, with caramelized nuts on top, and fresh fruits. Having said that I would give it 5 starts if they would have refilled the dessert bar with all the desserts they serve for those who arrived at 11 which is honestly just one hour after they open. I really liked that you can pour however much juice or coffee you want. The taste of the food was also very good, everything was very flavourful with the exception of their tamales which I wouldn t eat again, they had a strange after taste. Service was very good too, everybody was very patience and you could genuinely see they wanted you to enjoy your stay and the food you were having.

I just like the name. I have not been there. Toloache? Cheguro? Cómoachi? Buena suerte!

April 23, 2024

Unfortunately, I didnt like the food, it has no seasoning, what Mexican restaurant do you go to and they give you bottled sauces for tacos al pastor or sopes? Its very expensive for the portions, the only thing passable was the horchata water, that video they send on IG is promoted by a Canadian who doesnt have the slightest idea about real Mexican food. The service is terrible, they are not attentive to customers. I could have gone to cactus club, ordered a cut of meat with mashed potatoes, shrimp and asparagus, eaten more delicious and spent the same.

If you are in the mood for Mexican food this is s great place to go! Great food and great service, the music and the ambient is very nice but I would go there more for the food. I got some tacos and they were big. There were some other things on the menu that catches my eyes but I was full with 4 tacos. I am going to purge different things next time so I can try different things. Go there with friends on weekend nights, it is a good place to start off your plan is to go out at night.

Very nice Mexican restaurant. Everything was delicious and the portion was good. We tried the drinks that they had on the stand and both of them were delicious.

Customer service needs to be improved a little and not neglected so much. Parking: It would be excellent if there was an agreement with the parking lots so that they do not charge for parking when consuming at the restaurant.

The food was tasty enough, though not fantastic, and did upset my stomach for a day. Although the restaurant wasnt busy, it took a long time to get our food. The restaurant is cafeteria-style, so doesnt really seem like a destination restaurant, which does matter in a downtown location. Overall, meh.

Outstanding food and an enchanting atmosphere complemented by delightful music. The experience is so engaging that even a trip to the restroom turns into a spontaneous dance. The service is exceptional, evident from our warm welcome upon arrival. We tried the fusion burrito and taco, as well as the sopes with octopus and chorizo. To top it off, we had a delectable and creamy flan for dessert. All incredible! This restaurant is a new gem in the business center of downtown Vancouver. Its owned by the same couple who run Maizal on Main & 12, known for their mouth-watering chicken Flautas. The owners love of food and expertise in the kitchen is evident in every dish they serve. Im already looking forward to returning to this restaurant because of its incredible range of flavours and sensory experiences. I forgot, the prices are fair.

I ve eaten at most Mexican restaurants in Metro Vancouver, and this was the worst Mexican food I ve ever had. The rice was at least 2 days old, which was obvious because my burrito was 3/4 rice. I m certain they gave me the week s leftovers and wrapped it all in a flour tortilla - I think I got 3 different kinds of meat when I only wanted pork, and only received a few black beans. If I only wanted rice and a flour tortilla, I wouldn t have wasted $17+ tip as I could ve made my own rice at home with a dash of beans and some hot sauce. What a shame as I was looking forward to having a Mexican restaurant close to work. Go the International Food court instead - save money with TacoTime.

The food did not live up to expectations. I visited for their Tuesday special and ordered the Alambre Rib Eye, Pescado Frito, Spicy Chicken Karaage tacos and Nachos. The Alambre Rib Rye tacos were very dry, stale and lacked flavour. The chicken in the Spicy Chicken Karaage tacos were mostly breading, wasn t served hot and lacked flavour. It was clear that they had been sitting out for a while and definitely wasn t fresh. The Pescado Frito tacos were decent but I ve had much better fish tacos at other places (like Tacofino). The nachos weren t anything special and the beans were stale, giving it a weird texture. I did not feel like it was worth $17 at all. They also got one of my friend s orders wrong but we didn t ask them to remake it. Disappointing experience, I likely won t be back.

I love Maizal RMF on Main St, so when I saw that the same people also had a restaurant downtown, I had to try. The specifics of the menu are different from Maizal but its the same sort of offerings. I got the green vegetarian chorizo bowl, the horchata cardamom, and finished with the cream cheese flan. I wasnt sure what to expect with the vegetarian meat, but I really enjoyed the texture - I think it was soy chunks or some similar simple vegan protein instead of a fancy meat substitute, which is great since thats what I prefer. The green sauce was really flavourful but different from the usual tomatillo-based salsa verde and everything in the bowl tasted so fresh! The horchata with cardamom is a great combination. It was thoughtful of them to ask if I wanted it with or without ice. Finally, the cream cheese flan was a decadent finisher. It was so delicious but I wouldn t order it again unless I have someone to share with because it was rich and big. Give them a try if you like Mexican food! This visit was about a month ago and I was surprised to see the place was so quiet. Maybe things have picked up by now, but they definitely deserve more business!

Great value for money! Seriously, you should come hungry and be prepared to share - meals are amazingly large. Impossible to finish on your own - I made a concerted effort but..... Also, very authentic Mexican, right down to the corn chips that Im pretty sure are made in house. The only thing I didnt enjoy was the noise level of the music - this is more a group venue than for couples or solo. Vegetarian options: From memory many dishes were vegetarian with the option to add meat - if you are vegetation you wont be limited
