Description: Life is simple- Eat, Smile, Repeat! Chef Moises Toyber has been serving fresh and healthy Mexican dishes "always imitated, never duplicated" We believe that the quality of the food we eat is paramount so all of our ingredients are of the highest quality and sourced from local producers and suppliers. What is our wish? For you to experience the flavours of our childhood in Mexico right here in Vancouver, and be amazed at the flavours and quality of this amazing sandwich.

Understated and very very very good food. Fish Tacos and Quesadilla - fish well cooked, cabbage, guacamole - superb. Quesadilla with Oaxacan string cheese, and grilled zucchini/mushrooms (with rice and ensalada, sour cream) was out of this world. Sauces, cheeses, fresh cilantro, all abundant. Good - straightforward, quality Mexican food. Sabroso. Great place, friendly, good vibe. Go for it.

Stopped here for lunch with the kids as we were the in area.

We had:
- the Mexican Club Torta - very good - lots of flavor, well cooked, and quite filling.
- Chips and Salsa - nicely warmed, and kids were happy
- Churro - again, very good
- Hochata - also very good and refreshing

You order at the counter, and the food is served at the table. It's a small space with limited seating, so I would guess most of their business is takeout. Since it was quiet, the staff were good enough to hold off on preparing the churro until we finished the main part of the meal. That was thoughful.

Pay street parking out front, and residential street parking around if you're willing to walk a few blocks.

Overall, a good satsifying meal. Might be a little on the expensive side, but was happy with the taste and quality.

Incredible Mexican food would challenge or beat that served in the home country. Fantástico!

We have seen this place for awhile and made a point of going. Especially after walking past the other day and staring at the person’s meal of one fantastic looking burrito.

Let me tell you that was exactly what it turned out to be when we had it. Scrumptious

And extensive menu of authentic Mexican items from the lovely and simple Tamale to many more complex preparations.

Lovely Mexican sodas and if you wish a beer.

Focusing on the simple act of your taste bud’s joy in surroundings warm, cozy, basic and feels like home.

Great for take out. Eat in hours between 11am and 8pm.

You “will not” be disappointed.

Loved it. On the list of regulars. And as a couple who has had Mexico as their main destination almost annually since 1993 we know something about what we like of Mexican food.

Now we don’t have to wait so long for that taste zing.

Muy Deliciosa.

I can't attest for their whole menu and to be honest wasn't too keen on Mexican sandwiches but the fish burrito is delicious! The place is cute and authentic feeling. I went back for a second one this week it was so good. The only thing extra I wish they had were a few different housemade hot sauces or sauces that you could add.
