Soft tortillas. Juicy meat. Messy, flavourful, eat-with-your-hands goodness. If there’s one food I have a weakness for, it’s got to be tacos (okay, and sushi). I first tried one of these marvelous creations on the streets of Mexico in 2006, but had largely forgotten about their deliciousness since (I’d also assumed that I would never find anything as good on this side of the border). However, this love has been rekindled in full recently… and it’s all thanks to La Taqueria. These days, a taco craving seems to be a regular occurrence, and the fact that this casual eatery is right across from a train station and basically smack dab in the middle of the city gives me endless excuses to pop in on any given day.

  1. I love how your posts have evolved and how much this site has grown!! Those tacos look delicious and as usual, you look adorable!! Great photos & styling. <3

  2. Nice photos.

    My ex introduced me to tacos in Mexico City. I was basically in mourning for them when I returned to Vancouver until I discovered the now-closed Don Guacamole’s. La Taqueria is good, but it doesn’t have arrachera, and the tacos al pastor fall a little short of Mexico City’s.

  3. OMG! Yum! I’ll be in Vancouver n April… please tell me where this place is!

    Thanks!

    • Cambie & Broadway – get off at the Broadway-City Hall stop if you are on the Canada line and it’s right across the street!

  4. I just walked past this place yesterday, and mentally bookmarked it as my next taco place to try. Looks amazing.

  5. These photos, Jen! Gorgeous!! We’ll have to talk photography when I see you!! And my gosh I love Mexican, and sushi for that matter. Definitely my two favourite foods. Can’t wait to check out this place , plus you look SO beautiful, loving the layers! xoxo

  6. I HAVE to go try La Taqueria! After living in San Diego for 4 years, the cravings for good Mexican food are so strong! I’d love to find a great place up here in Van!
