I like the design and feeling of this new location. The style is the same with bright colours and Mexican accents, but the large windows running across the restaurant give this location a bright and sunny feeling.
The menu at the Cambie location is the same as the Hastings location. The regular menu offers some beef, pork, chicken and veggie/vegan offerings, plus a daily special.
My order was the same as I usually get. Sometimes the special of the day will grab me but I am a creature of habit and I love these tacos:
ASADA- grilled ‘AAA’ flank beef
CARNITAS- pork confit with pickled red onions
AL PASTOR- pork marinated in achiote chilli and pinapple
POLLO CON MOLE- maple hills chicken with chocolate mole sauce (contain nuts)
That is a beautiful plate of tacos. There are sauces available that you can add to the tacos, but I am a purist and ate them as is. My favorite, at this time, is the Al Pastor. I love the spiciness of the pork and the sweetness of the pineapple. I had no complaints about any of the other tacos on the plate. They are all moist and flavourful. Messy to eat, but so very tasty.
I will have to do a test to see which location is closer and faster for me. The Hastings location might be closer but they are slammed at lunch time and the Cambie location is a bit bigger for seating. I look forward to conducting that test! Tacos!
I was recently introduced to this place. I love tacos. My friend, who lived in Mexico for several years, says these are the closest to authentic (lack of a better word) she's had.
