If I could give this place a 10 star I would, servers here REALLY stand out - they treat you with warmth and passion, you feel so welcomed as customer, and they’re very attentive to your needs. Tacos are packed with flavours. Housemade Salsa - unreal. Music playlist are wonderful too, I LOVE it. From service to food to environment, it’s just lovely, you rarely see this anywhere else nowadays. The only thing I’ll point out though is their burrito and bowl portion is quite small. But other than that, what an amazing Mexican food experience!

5 star service from Mariana, she is attentive, warm and made us feel like royalty. The tacos were delicious, we tried almost 1 of each and had a blast with each and every one! A must try spot! And the michelada was amazing! Really great for gluten free/celiac, almost all tacos are gluten free and so are the shells.

Soooo good! This place has a great selection of food, and of course tequila & mezcal! Our server was super helpful and lovely, he was Ukrainian, I can't remember his name but thank you for the lovely service! We got some mezcal drinks and tacos, everything was delicious, I'll definitely be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stopped into Pinche Taco Shop on a cold Vancouver afternoon and left feeling like I’d been on a mini vacation. Right from the moment I walked in I was greeted which honestly already put this place ahead of most spots these days. I had pretty much made up my mind about what I wanted, and the guy taking my order confirmed I was making the right choice. Food came out quickly and everything tasted incredibly fresh bright flavours, great balance, and exactly the kind of warmth you’re craving when it’s grey outside. What really stood out though was the service. When I left he actually said goodbye and used my name. In a world of phones, zero eye contact, and rushed interactions, that small moment made a big impression. Great food, fast service, and genuine hospitality. I’ll absolutely be back.

YUM! $5 for delicious tacos is an excellent deal (especially downtown). The energy is upbeat and lovely, service is fast and friendly, and the big tables make it an excellent place for a last minute group gathering. Will be back!
