It's my first time trying a jackfruit taco in Vancouver so I was happy with the overall taste. The beef burrito was tasty too. The staff is friendly. I liked the atmosphere. Highly recommend ... ”
“ Really glad these guys are here. It’s a gem of a spot. Busy. And fun. Beers are simply fantastic. Quick service. Super clean. Really fun. I’ll be back. My feedback or suggestions are 1. The Pastor was dry and my least favorite, it needs something, but the other tacos were fantastic 2. Barbacoa was amazing 3. Need some hot-sauce options 4. I think you need 1 hour time limit on tables to increase your turns and serve more people 5. Churros were good but should be made fresh and they need some sauces But loved it ”
“ Fantastic summer beers, highly recommended - I tell everyone about them! An amazing selection of Mexican style beers, super flavours. We tried a flight to get a range of tastes and need to visit again to try the rest! ”
“ Cute little brewery in NS brewery district! Charming Greek style tile decor and casual Mexican foods such as tacos, nachos, and quesadillas. Their beer is great (5 stars), very easy to drink. My favorite is Paloma grapefruit lager but others including stout, ipa, and sour are all pretty good. Foods were ok (3 stars) and reasonably priced. ”
“ My wife and I stopped in on a whim and were wonderfully surprised by the food and drink offerings. The two young ladies serving the establishment were an absolute delight. They really set the mood for a nice experience. The beer was quite good for the most part. We really enjoyed the range of fruited beers they had. The food was decent enough to not detract from the overall. ”
“ Cute little brewery with a wide range of taps. Huge fan of their classic salted lime lager, and would definitely recommend the cafe cold brew lager for a new experience. We also grabbed one of each taco, most of which were fantastic! Some interesting options like a jackfruit taco, as well as all the classics. It gets quite busy on the weekends, but it wasn't too long of a wait if you're willing to brave chilly North Van! ”
