This restaurant is consistently delicious. I love the Tortilla soup, Pastor Tacos and the Enchiladas Rojas! For drinks I highly recommend the Cantarito (large!) so fruity and delicious. It can seat around 40 people, it’s not too loud and they will play soccer and/or music at a reasonable volume. We come here before any Granville street concert because the service is quick and food/drink is amazing. Staff is super nice too!

On my last night in Vancouver I happened to pass the Mexican on the way to a new hotel, and decided to come back. Very glad I did, the Quesabirrias with a side serve of refried beans was absolutely delicious! I came in rather hungry and am leaving feeling full and content. Great atmosphere and service also, thanks!

The Mexican Antojitos y Cantina is hands-down one of the best Mexican dining experiences I’ve had in the city! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, vibrant, and welcoming — a perfect blend of modern design and authentic Mexican flair. The food was outstanding. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and clearly made with fresh, quality ingredients. The tacos were a definite highlight — especially the al pastor and the birria. The guacamole was made fresh to order, and the salsas had just the right amount of kick. Portions were generous without being overwhelming. The drinks were just as impressive. Their margaritas are next level — balanced, not overly sweet, and beautifully presented. They also had a great selection of tequila and mezcal, and the staff were happy to make recommendations based on our tastes. Service was exceptional. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. They made us feel right at home and ensured everything came out perfectly timed. Whether you’re looking for a fun night out, a casual lunch, or a special dinner, The Mexican delivers. We’ll definitely be back — and bringing friends!
