La Cantina Tacos

The interior has seating for about 20-30 guests. There is a large terrace outside. Courteous and quick service. We literally received our food orders very quickly. Fresh ingredients, authentic flavours. Very good value for money.

I had been to this taco bar once a few years ago, and had been wanting to come back. This place was a great spot for something quick, causal, healthy, not expensive, but still delicious. We ordered a burrito 🌯 and four taco 🌮 - three different types of meat and one vegetarian - they were all great! We will definitely come back again!

Food here is absolutely delicious! Had the vegan chili beans burrito and taco, and the pablanas taco! Awesome that they have vegan options and tasted delicious too. The vegan chili beans i believe is impossible burger meat. The seasoning was great and I loved the green salsa on the burrito. We asked for extra salsa and Margo the host helped us get more. :) They ask you to order food before sitting. So look at the menu and decide on food while you wait for a table. We had 4 ppl ahead of us but sat down in 15 mins.

Very nice tacos, kinda small but filling. Music was very nice and authentic feeling atmosphere. Tacos were good but lacked flavour. Did not have any hot sauces.

Waitress helped push our tables together and was very kind to help us with any other requests we had! Upbeat fun music playing inside, with tvs to add to the entertainment! My buddy says if the chips had more salt, it has 5 potential 👀

This place is awesome. Ate here 3 times to get my Mexican fix in Canada. Great value, awesome flavors and the Margaritas are to die for! Look forward to visiting again on my next trip to Whistler

The food was alright but nothing special. The taco shells were very soggy and were ripping as I ate. They were also a little empty for the price. The service was very good though and they were very quick to bring our food. The atmosphere was fun and cheerful. However, we were handed menus and then ordered at a counter and then served at a table but had to get our own water. Nothing wrong with any of that but it was super confusing to try and figure out what was going on. A strange mix of get-it-yourself and a sit down restaurant.

I stopped by La Cantina for lunch whilst exploring Whistler. It’s a small buzzy restaurant that serves up a range of quick Mexican dishes. I opted for a Beef Burito, which was huge! It was packed full of flavour and fillings, and overall it was a great meal. If you’re looking for something filling - La Cantina is a great place to go!

Came twice for lunch. Saturday for takeout and Sunday for dine-in at 11;30 or so. Vegan chili beans, beef barbacoa and cauliflower tacos. Also guacamole, tortilla soup, Jarritos and a corona. Pros: - taco filling aplenty! The vegan chili beans are apparently very delicious - check out the condiments and water station for varieties of hot sauce to choose from: pineapple, jalapeño and hot - service is good (order at the till and seat yourself) - the soup is super flavorful and hot to order with corn chips added for texture

So many things wrong at this Mexican joint...to start it is not inexpensive, about $18 for a bowl and this does not include guacamole OR pico for $2 each. Portion size tiny for what you are paying, a quarter cup of rice and the chips are placed into one top of the refried beans taking up 50% of the bowl, and covered in refried beans. Barbacoa was OK but somewhat fatty - trying to find a positive here is tough. I would avoid this place unless you are going for a frozen marg.

We ate here twice in three days. That's how much we enjoyed it They have a ton of gluten-free, dairy free and vegan options. and the food is great. Prices are super reasonable too and the food comes out pretty quick My favorite is the tacos, especially the chicken and pulled pork. The roast chicken soup is super good too There's slushy margaritas are to die for It's a fun Mexican environment and the service is always good. It's always clean in there It's one of the restaurants I look forward to going to when we come to Whistler every year

Our first night at Whistler and we just wanted something fast and easy. We walked by Tacos La Cantina and we decided to grab some food. We ordered the beef pasilla and beef barbacoa tacos, sweet pork cantina bowl and the roast chicken soup. The tacos were tiny at $4.60 but I guess the good news is that it was packed with meat. The soup was flavorful and served piping hot. The cantina bowl was adequate, not great - not bad. It was pretty full for 6:00pm on a Sunday. We sat at the counter seating as that is all they had. I think the slushy lime margarita was pretty good for the price!!

Had good tacos and good margaritas here. Service was quick. Thanks Lindsey! I will try to be back.

3.5 stars in general I wouldn't say this is the best Mexican food I've ever had in Canada , BUT it was definitely a good effort. They have these frappe margaritas that invite people to enjoy their tacos with margaritas. In general a good experience. Unfortunately the rice was not properly cooked, sort of raw (even crunchy) On the other hand, their options for tacos is good! And the SALSAS ARE THE BEST!! Salsas are truly authentic. Oh! BTW they have alcoholic and NON alcoholic choices. They were super friendly, patient! We barely wait for our food. The music is loud and make me happy!! Loved the decoration using a luchador mask as a logo.

This place is great for take out, so I imagine it would be even better in person! Their flavors are spot on. I love the inclusion of corn and peppers in the rice. The sauces on the burrito were fun too! A lot of their stuff is gluten free too which is nice if you need that accommodation. My mom loves the chicken soup

Casual, small spot for a quick meal. Really enjoyed our vegan tacos and tortilla soup, especially the vegan chili beans taco. Kiddo got the kids vegan burrito and loved it. Hostess was very friendly and welcoming as well. Thank you!

We love the tor casual, small and endlessly delicious Tacos La Cantina. Every visit to Whistler this is one of our first stops. It never disappoints. Today we had the green salad and with pulled chicken salad. I added my daughter's pico and it took it to the next level. We also had the always generous burrito with pulled chicken and simply elegant quesadilla. It's just beautiful and as delicious. Of course, the guacamole was fantastic, but even the large was not large. If you love guacamole, you know what I mean. Seating isn't ample and it's tight, but say hi to your close neighbor. Definitely go if you like casual, fun and delicious Mexican.

OMG can I just say the tacos were fantastic and the service was phenomenal. Works were happy and pleasant and extremely patient. My son and I got three tacos each and they were so delicious. It was great also they were right by where we were staying and grabbed a nice lunch ending our day skiing and leaving the mountain. Definitely please try. Initially thought the tacos were small but they were filling and like that they give you two tortillas per taco so it was soggy. Fish tacos and sweet pork were our favorites

La Cantina tacos at Whistler Marketplace has been around for quite some time but we've never had a chance to go since we keep going back to favourites. On a rainy off-day, we ventured out for some crêpes and the wait there was too long so we ended up at La Cantina. We were happy we did! The service was quick and the food was delicious. We ordered the chicken soup and though it was on the saltier side, it was quite filling with chicken and rice. We shared the sweet pork burrito which is a HUGE portion filled with a pulled pork, black beans, avocado, tomatoes and lettuce. It was very good. The guacamole and tortillas was quite good though I wish it had more flavour. This one tasted like it was straight avocado and onions. I've had tastier ones with different spices added. We ordered a trio of tacos: fish (the best!), sweet pork and beef. We'll most likely come by again on our next visit!

We ordered takeout. We tried almost all of the vegetarian tacos and they were satisfying and filling. The chorizo was a little spicy, which was expected. The rest had just the right amount of spice to bring out all the flavors. We did try a fish taco but it was less fish and more breading which was a little disappointing. But it still was tasty.

Their frozen margaritas are seriously good! I'm honestly impressed. Though I do wish there was an on the rocks option (brain freeze!) Very juicy beef tacos with great flavor. The guacamole was fantastic as well. Definitely would come back

2.5 stars Definitely not authentic Mexican when they are using feta cheese. I got the pork cochinita burrito it was large and the texture was good I think it just needed more flavor not sure if just salt or spice too. It was filling and hit the spot but for the price I wish it had more flavor. There were 3 salsas I tried the habanero and pineapple. The habanero wasn't really hot maybe the heat of what I consider to be a normal red salsa. I added just a few drops to be cautious but ended up pouring it on. The pineapple salsa had the most flavor but wasn't hot at all. A mixture of the two was a pretty good mix. Service was friendly and quick, items came out of the kitchen in minutes. All the meats are braised so they are ready to go just put them in a tortilla shell and roll em up. Pretty smart business plan. So if you're looking for a quick casual meal without a lot of waiting this is a good option. They also had jackfruit as a vegan option, so there are a range of choices. I couldn't figure out how to tip with my credit card I think you have to press either percentage or $ amount on the top left and right of the key pad. I just left at cash tip in the jar on the counter.

Super tasty! Service was great as well, with different servers checking in throughout the meal. I would suggest reviewing the menu before visiting as you are assigned a table upon arrival and then ushered to the cashier to order. When busy, you are certainly under pressure to make a quick decision.

Went here with the family while on our ski trip and it was a great casual dinner spot! We had a short wait but once we got seated everything was awesome. I got a chicken burrito and it was super filling and delicious. Two things of note for this place: 1. The guacamole to chip ratio was the best I've ever seen. We ate all of the guacamole without a chip left to spare, nor were any chip refills needed. Incredible. 2. The food came out within 3 minutes after ordering up at the counter. It came out so fast that we had to stay late and finish the drinks we ordered but couldn't drink! Overall 5/5 experience and would definitely recommend if you're in Whistler.

When in Canada... am I right? I was born and raised in a Chicano family in New Mexico. Mexican food is in my soul and I take great pride in the greatest cuisine on earth. All of that to say, I had low hopes for a taqueria in a ski resort town in British Columbia. And I am pleased to report that my low expectations were far exceeded! Besides using feta cheese on some things (maybe that's just what's more accessible that Cotija?), everything was delicious! The fish tacos can rival any from San Diego. The ladies working there were super helpful and made sure I had everything I needed before I left. They're seemed to be pretty busy inside, but they were keeping cool. 10/10 would recommend if you have a taco craving I'm Whistler.

Terrific option for lunch or very casual dinner. The Machu Picchu salad was excellent - i had mine with savory pulled pork- it was scrumptious with taramind dressing. Fun place and even funner drinks

We ordered chips & pico de gallo, and a frozen slushy margarita. The chips were stale, the pico de gallo had no flavor and rather than graciously offering to replace my stale chips they tried justifying them by telling me they were hard because they were corn tortilla chips. I did end up getting a new basket of chips and I ordered a small guacamole. The small guacamole was the size of a small to-go ketchup container. Save your money and go to the market next door and buy tortilla chips, tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeños and cilantro and make your own fresh pico de gallo. We also had a bird drop poop which splashed on my friend's shoes on their patio. The servers seemed pissed off and were not happy.

I never expected to be able to get tacos and burritos this good so far north... and I have lived in both Austin, TX and in San Diego. By far the best Mexican food I have ever had in Whistler...

Nice little place with tasty dishes. We got the macho salad with beef, chicken soup, and chicken taco. Soup and taco are small portions but fresh. Service is good.

I've tried a lot of different restaurants in Whistler and most of them were expensive, bland, and just not worth it. Tacos La Cantina is by far one of the best places I tried that is indeed worth it and had very delicious food! I was hugely impressed with their fish tacos, which was my favourite. I also tried the chicken taco and I would recommend that as well. The beef taco I thought was just okay, but surprisingly they use grass-fed beef which I have to give bonus points for using high quality ingredients! I also tried the chicken burrito, but for some reason I thought the chicken taco tasted better. But the burrito itself was a huge generous portion and it was still delicious nonetheless.

The best Tacos in Town. Tacos La Cantina has never let me down. No matter who I bring as company there is always something for someone. They have vegan options, dairy free options, gluten free options and they are all delicious. They make it easy to pick out what taco, burrito, snack, meal or drink you choose. They have markers to tell you what is veggie friendly and gluten free. We went on a weekend afternoon and it was amazing service. They were quick, fresh and the customer service was friendly. Whenever we are in town I try to make sure we stop by. If you like a relaxed dining environment with great food, this is your place.

I was actually heading to grab lunch at another restaurant but ran into this place on the way and was intrigued. I'm so glad I stopped here. The burrito I got was amazing! I loved the red sauce on it

This place is small but MIGHTY! The taco flavors are so incredible. We had the fish tacos, my husband is GF so he never gets to enjoy Baja tacos. They make theirs with corn starch so it's GF, but the people who aren't GF wouldn't know the difference. Bomb! Also had the chicken tinga and sweet pork tacos, both incredible. Margaritas... order then with a shot on top. We had the best experience. Staff was super friendly too

Casual, order at the counter and find your seat, nice servers, reasonably priced. Food was just ok. We tried the burrito bowl (super wet chicken, not how we like it) with puréed black beans (not our preference, we prefer whole beans). Guac was excellent if you like tomatoes but light on onions and cilantro. My tacos were very average. Not much zing or flavor. Tried beef (good cilantro cream sauce, but wet), pork (kind of a weird flavor to me, also very wet with not normal toppings - no cilantro or onions), fish (fried fish and pico) was fine. Some folks may really like the wetter style meat. Just not our thing. And wish they offered just a normal pork carnitas or dry chicken or carne asada or even whole beans. They don't. So can't blame them. I read the menu before ordering. I've had so many excellent tacos - especially from taco trucks - and was hoping for that experience here.

5/5 fish tacos and beef tacos. Fully accommodated a celiac allergy, and tasted good to boot! Huge win here- going back ASAP!

Wished we would've found this sooner on our trip to Whistler. It was affordable, good Tex-mex which is not easily found in the Whistler area. Quick service style and friendly staff!

Snack Time at Tacos La Cantina - hopefully you didn't come here for a meal and ordered the tacos unless of course you are planning to get a platter of them, think of these itty bitty tacos as sliders or White Castles burgers until you order them by the dozen or half dozen these two bite tacos will only frustrate you. Beautiful scenery always seems to make things taste better, for instance if you were eating these in let's say your garage or in the parking lot at your local los cabo el cinco del taco hacienda you'd be pissed but in these accommodations while enjoying your vacation you may feel a few tacos, a beer and a cocktail for just under forty bucks is a steal and you are telling your mom or best friend about them until they're exhausted. Now there are some very positive things going on here, the staff was very friendly and efficient, the atmosphere whether you're inside or on the patio is festival and your eating decent tacos in one of the most beautiful places in the world - so yes I think the business owner has the advantage here but I'm also sure he worked hard to find a supplier that sells a 4" tortillas, on the other hand the line is out the door and seems to never stop, so grab a number and take your seat you can balance your checkbook when you get home enjoy...

Fist time coming to La Cantina, the fish burrito was really good. Loved the vibe also. I'll be back for sure when I'm in Whistler

I absolutely love TACOS so this was definitely a place that I had to check out during our getaway to Whistler. I had one of each vegan options. Jackfruit 6/10 The jackfruit taco was soooo spicy. Probably something that they should mention on their menu. The flavour wasn't anything amazing. It was so spicy and I couldn't taste anything else. Tofu 10/10 To be honest when I saw tofu on the menu I thought that this one was going to be super bland and boring but instead it was my favourite. It was soooo flavourful and the toppings worked really well together. Mestizo 8/10 I thought that this one would be my favourite but I found that it lacked a little flavour for me personally. Still good but not as much as the tofu one. I cannot wait to go back to Whistler and go back here.

Fast and delicious! Walked around the village looking for something to eat and this delicious smell was coming out of this restaurant so we decided to check it out. We decided on a burrito and a bowl. We both chose the chicken tinga for our proteins. The beans on my bowl were really good I think I enjoyed them the most out of anything in the bowl. Eating this food reminded me of being back in Mexico in a resort lol so, I was enjoying myself plus I had my little jarrito mango pop I was a pretty happy person. I'd definitely come back here next time I'm in town.

Love, love, love! Very ono (delicious) food. The soups were fresh and hot - perfect after a stroll in the Village. My husband and son devoured their burritos, which they loved. One of the best, according to my son.

Compared to the other places in whistler village, this place is pretty decent, but one of our friends that went with us found the food to be under spiced and included potato's and onions (which they hate) without any mention of including them. They scored points with us though for having a good handful of vegetarian options and having a good system set up. Overall, if you are in the village, it's one of the better options but I wouldn't go out of the way for it.

Service is fast and casual. Cochinta and fish tacos were good. Burrito looks like better value but would come back for a quick delicious lunch.

Absolutely loved this place in Whistler. They had amazing cocktails and super tasty Mexican food. We are vegetarians and found options in the menu and they were also open to adjusting some items. Unique tacos with amazing favors . The ambience and vibe also really good. Great place to eat after a day on the slopes - highly recommend!

Who doesn't love tacos! I go to Whistler for work often. This is a go-to for me (or their Nesters location). Fun atmosphere, funny & unique decor. High table seating (mostly) which I prefer. I always order tacos but the burritos look Fine! Also on my list for next visit is tortilla soup. Order a margarita, Jarritos, or a beer from Mexico & you're set! Walk up counter service, then they bring the food to you. I was in Baja recently, when I got home I craved a fish taco. The rock fish baked in corn crust totally fulfilled that craving! Delicious!! They add some pico de Gallo on top. Chicken Tinga is good too, I like touch of feta, then I add some hot habanero mmm. Both pork options are borderline sweet for me. But I stay with Pork Conchinita & go easy on the sweet-ish onions then add guac + habanero. Jack fruit taco is my fave. Look, I'm a meat eater but I love love this one. The salsa bar are little bottles of homemade sauce that you can squeeze on. I put a a little taster on my plate before adding on to my taco. With all the dining options in Whistler, this makes my list, go give them a try.

The food and staff was really good!! Located conveniently downtown in Whistler and had alcohol. The food was really good, but the seating is limited

13 out of 10! This place was amazing. Really great gluten-free options and friendly staff. The food was so delicious. We will be back multiple times before we leave Whistler.

Great Mexican favourites served up delish. Friendly staff covered busy period with grace. Pork Carnitas were ample in size and delicious. Beers were great. Service was accommodating.

Mexican food in Canada? Good Mexican food in Canada? Yes! I wasn't sure about it but we kept walking by through the day and smelled so DANG GOOD!!! My husband and I went for dinner and the food didn't disappoint. We're from Southern California so we are used to a different type of Mexican but that didn't matter because this was delicious! My husband ordered the fish tacos and he said it was some of the best he's had and I ordered a shredded beef burrito, and it was equally amazing and HUGE! The prices are typical of the area, you know, resort town and all. The place is small so I can seating being a bit frustrating. The staff was pleasant. I would say it's worth a try.

This seemed like one of whistlers quicker options. Walk in and you are immediately expected to order off a board in front of you... with no real time to understand the menu. I Choose a selection of 6 different tacos and every single one of them was swimming in a juice?? Cheese juice ... meat juice... boiled meat water not sure but instantly both uncooked taco shells disintegrate and it was honestly more like eating a soup dumpling than a taco. Same with my friends order. Chips and guacamole were average. The margarita was one of the more sour I have ever had. Staff was friendly. Food came out relatively quickly but I went through about 20 napkins. Not a fan of this place. Whistler has much better to offer

The best tacos!! We eat at one or both locations at least three times when we visit Whistler! The beef Pasilla tacos are my favorite! Nothing like them in the other Vancouver (US).

Was walking around the village looking for food and came across this restaurant. Great find. Very good tacos and salad here. Loved the chicken tinga taco, flavorful and tender meat, and was topped with great sauces. Also enjoyed the Machu PIcchu salad, very healthy and delicious salad with fresh ingredients.

Bustling place for tacos and burritos. Food is fresh and good quality. Plenty of outdoor seating. I ordered 2 tacos and was surprised how small they are for close to $4 each. I ended up ordering 2 more and still wasn't full. A friend had the burrito and it seemed like better bang for your buck. They have many types of tacos including several vegetarian options. I would have liked to see a beef tongue taco. That's my favourite

I really do think they do a great job with their food. the taco meats are interesting and delicious but...service...rarely friendly. and the old turn the screen around with the 15% tip thing pre populated and no other options but 20 or 25. that irks me, especially when it's an order at the counter place with no check backs and all they do is drop off your food. oh and the margaritas literally have no tequila in them. so it's a mixed bag but I keep coming back.

Terrrible food. I'm not sure how they are still in business. I ordered the sweet pork quesadilla and it was barely lukewarm. The tortilla shell was not even hot or crispy, the pork was dry, and the only flavour was a sickly sweet taste. The item was drowned in sour cream and some flavoured mayo, overall pretty gross and not worth paying for. The margarita was also sub par. Hopefully covid closes this place up

Excellent food as many others have stated! Quesadillas, burrito were fantastic. Great service too. Wished we had taken photos before we ate but alas we scarfed it down before that could happen. :)

There's instagram pics that are enhanced from the real deal and then you have actual false advertising. I'm not sure what happened the day I tried this place, but I had a completely different taco than the owner pics and I felt this was more sustenance eating than an actual meal. None of these even resemble a badly done mass produced version of the tacos you find in good spots like California or Mexico... not even Chicago. Let's just get any of the pleasantries out of the way. You're in Whistler and the scenery is amazing. You can't get a better scene than this spot. Service here is efficient and pretty pleasant. No issue with the nice staff manning the cashier. As for the restaurant itself, it's clean with a few obvious tongue in cheek (well, I hope it's meant that way) Mexican stereotype... sombreros, wrestling masks, and tequila bottles. It's very rustic as if it's some sort of Tex Mex dive bar. There's a really nice patio to use for the summer. The last good thing, it's cheap food especially for Whistler. The owner pics are completely off... no where do you get mounds of fresh vegetables,interesting toppings, crispy edges, or crunchy crusts. What you get is insipid lukewarm bland mushy tacos. It was so uninspiring that it made Whistler a touch more depressing on the patio. The moment we finished eating, we all agreed that was terrible and we needed to eat something actually good. We practically ran into the Olympic village to find ANYTHING. I'll just write about the tortilla once cause they were an issue for all of them. The ones they served were the equivalent to damp Wonderbread. It's as if they were kept in a soggy room and became sponge of stale air... practically limping. Though we were given 2 tortilla per tacos, most were falling apart cause they were so soggy and not only from the sauces. Carrot tinga - I do appreciate the vegetarian options but ... no. Not this. The carrot puree was too sweet with ZERO heat. It needed any spice... salt even. The texture was like jarred baby food and served at room temperature. Only having ice berg lettuce on it was doing it no favours. It added no flavour or purpose other than to make this more messier to eat. This taco was leaking so much that it makes a sieve look like a full proof bowl. They claim to have feta on it ... I think there was a dusting if at all. 2/5 Grilled Veggie and tofu - I think they just placed room temp tofu into some sauce. They were just bland and cut too big to be kept in the taco. The few cubes of other vegetables were falling apart and mushy... as if over cooked and then kept at room temp for a few hours. It felt like a sad day to be a vegetable lover to eat these 2 tacos. It made me want to eat a turkey sub at Subway for the first time in years. 2/5 Shrimp taco - Tiny shrimp was hiding in the mushiest room temp (this is a pattern... I know) pork. The shrimp was not a lot and more rubbery than anything. The few sprigs of cilantro was needed and the only flavour in the entire thing. 2/5 Cochinita Pork - Claims to be using a citrus sauce topped with coleslaw and pickled onions. No coleslaw (though kinda grateful cause this was a mess to eat already). It was barely any flavour of citrus... more overcooked limp meat. I would say that this falls apart just as fast as the Senators team from the WAG mean girl gossip. Just... no. 2/5 Verde Beef - I dont... understand this one. Disintegrating potatoes, soggy tortilla, and spongy beef. It was squishy and mushy. I need another synonym... lacklustre, flabby, flaccid... ok thats enough. At least this one had the most cilantro so it had some sort of taste. Yay for fresh vegetables. Even if served hot, this still would be pretty bad. 2/5 TLDR ... you get what you pay for and I've run out of synonyms for mushy. Just avoid the false advertising and get anything else inside the village.
