La Taqueria, our Latin American Restaurant of the Year.

La Taqueria

It’s no secret that Latin food in Vancouver has seen a boom over the past few years. From moody eateries featuring fresh aguachile to late-night haunts with cheesy birria tacos, what was once a lean category has become a staple in the Vancouver culinary scene. That means choosing our winners was no easy feat for this years’ judges—but La Taqueria nabs the gold, thanks to its casual-yet-hip fare served in handheld form. With straight-out-of-Mexico-City vibes, tortillas are made in-house and fillings range from perfectly charred alpastor to huitlacoche mushroomstew.

Chancho Tortilleria

Silver goes to Chancho Tortilleria with its pared-down menu that is as bona fide as they come: heirloom-corn tortillas served with five options of authentic Mexican fillings (three pork, two veggie) all made with local ingredients.

Chupito

La Taqueria’s little sister, Chupito, snags bronze with its excellent alley-side patio, expansive and creative cocktail program and coastal Mexican eats. Honourable mention goes to Alimentaria thanks to its traditional-yet-elevated Mexican fare.
