Pretty much all you need to know is that for 10 dollars on Wednesdays you can get 6 tacos.
Although I will expand. I went for the 6 tacos for 10 dollars on Wednesdays. Not only is that a great deal, and will totally fill you up, but you can get 6 tacos of any kind you like. Some places force you to buy so many of the same taco, but not this place. Typically it is 4 tacos for 10 dollars, which is still a great price. So don't let the fact it's not a Wednesday kept you from this gem. The guys there are very friendly, and the service is great. One of the tacos they gave me was the wrong one. I had ordered the AAA steak, but got the carnitas in it's place. Without hesitation, they offered me the taco I had ordered, and gave me the carnitas on the house. So score! 7 tacos for 10 dollars. Not only was that my good fortune, but the carnitas one they accidentally gave me was one of my favourites. I thought, oh carnitas is everywhere so I won't order that. But it was really moist and full of flavour.
I had the Asada (AAA flank steak), De Lengua (beef tongue), Al Pastor (pork and pineapple), Pollo Con Mole (chicken in mole), Pescado (fish), and the Rajas Con Crema (roasted poblanos with creamed corn). Overall, I prefered the pork tacos over the beef ones. And the chicken with the mole sauce was yummy too. You could definitely taste the chocolate which I liked. The fish taco was good. And I would definitely recommend trying some of the vegetarian options like the Rajas Con Crema. On top of all these delicious tacos, they have plenty of sauces and pickled vegetables you can top your tacos with. Excellente!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ajay K.Central Vancouver, Vancouver, Canada01Jun 15, 2024
La Taqueria exceeded my expectations on my first visit. The tacos were fresh, flavourful, and packed with delicious fillings. The service was both friendly and quick. I especially loved their unique salsas and the variety of vegetarian options.
I can't wait to try more items on their menu next time!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Feb 8, 2024
Small place, bar/kitchen as soon as you enter, small seating area in the back for approximately 12-15 diners with bar counter seating for additional 10 diners.
Mexican music in the background, dark with exposed brick walls
Pork belly taco, pork was crispy and juicy
Chicken enchilada plate was filling, 2 enchiladas covered with queso, red sauce and pickled onions which gave the dish another flavor dimension
Shrimp was succulent but could have used a little more flavor.
The Verde sauce with the fried cheese taco was excellent with a very strong flavor profile.
Both desserts were done perfectly, empanada was sugary, light and flaky. The lemon ice cream cake was a gift from heaven.
A nice neighborhood mom & pop establishment that should not be ignoredHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 22, 2024
Easy to miss with the construction but small taqueria as have been several times but forget to write reviews so went yesterday for happy hour. We had their weekly special margarita which was lavendar margarita, it was so pretty and very good. We also ordered the spicy margarita on tap which we asked is different to their jalapeño margarita on their regular menu as that is made to order, where as the spicy margarita is pre-made batch. I ordered the verde enchiladas which were ok, the chicken was very little, as the portion was smaller than what I would have expected for $20. I've had their fish & shrimp tacos dining in and take away which you cannot go wrong.

I would say 3 stars mainly for the service and staff. They were all really welcoming, friendly, and fast.
The Line was long but moved quickly, be aware that this is a tiny tiny restaurant. I feel it may be a bit unfair to say this but coming from Southern CA where we have Amazing Mexican food.... The food here was a major miss for me. The tortillas were too thick and hard, the meats for the tacos were bland and the construction of the taco was terrible because every time you take a bite it leaks like crazy. It didn't taste like real Mexican food to me. However, Being in Vancouver, I would assume it's very hard to find good authentic mexican food... but you can tell that they tried.
If you are looking for authenticity, I wouldn't say you'd find it here but if you were looking for a quick place to grab a few beers or drinks with friends, it seems like a fun place for that.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Josselin M.Downtown, Tulsa, OK22Jul 18, 2024

Great gluten-free asada tacos.
They weren't what I was used to, being raised in So Cal, but definitely one of the best tacos I've ever had.
Great seasoning, loads of meat, tasty corn tortillas and friendly service.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - J L.Los Angeles, CA312026Jun 16, 2024
We stopped off at this place by chance and enjoyed some of the best tacos we've ever had. The interior is small with limited seating but it is clean and friendly. The staff was accommodating and accessible. We lucked out and got there at happy hour and ordered the three taco plate with asada, fish, and shrimp tacos. Deeelish! All three types are winners. We also order draft beer and nachos. The nachos were very good with fried chips and not just chips out of a bag. The food is worth going back for. We will go back when we are in the area.

Hands down one of the best, if not the best tacos
You will find in Vancouver.
The best taco for me: fish tacos. They were done perfectly. Fish was breaded and friend amazingly. Full of flavour.
Beef barbacoa was good too, together with the al pastor. Too bad we were still full from lunch or else, i would ordered every taco possible.
Meats werent dry or stale. Very juicy and succulent. You can tell there's a taco master at the helm.
It was like ordering tacos from the streets of mexico. That good, yes!
Tacos were loaded with fresh pico de gallo as well!
Tortillas were toasted just right! Definitely eat with tour hands and wash it all down with a cold one.
Simple bliss! Never thought I'd find tacos of this caliber in Vancouver.
Another hint that this place
Is good is that when we were there, there were a lot of hispanic speaking customers .
Love this place! Will be back for sure! Happy hour is also amazing!
Cheers!
Happy eating!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Danielle P.Port Hardy, Canada02915Aug 24, 2023
Food was plain. There is an assortment of hot sauces in the table so the menu caters to people who want the flavour to come out of a bottle rather than being cooked into the dish.
Service: the server was friendly and efficient but couldn't really explain what 'Baja Style' food actually meant
Ambiance: small, plainly decorated spaceHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Anne S.Clovis, CA39254115Apr 27, 2023
This is a cute but super compact place to get some authentic Mexican food! Space is tight and limited but if you can get in to grab a quick bite, do yourself the favor! I'm from California and live in the motherland of all things Mexican. The food here is freshly made and you can taste it. We always order chips and guacamole, what we noticed is even the chips tasted freshly homemade. And the tortillas for the tacos were also made fresh! Extra attention and love is definitely put into making these dishes. The tacos were mouthwatering good. I had the fish taco, which was really big! But it was deee-licious! The asada taco I got was prepared differently in that it was chopped up it was a thin slice of meat. I was a little confused but once I ate it, it all made sense. My husband had the birria-ramen with an extra birria taco and this also didn't disappoint. This dish is great for a hangover or a cold day, or if you just got the craving. I also tried the horchata which sent me back to childhood. I left very full and wanting a nap but opted to walk it off.
Service is fast once they get the ball rolling. It had a slow start for sure so patience is mandatory if you wanna get that bomb food!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
