I came back to La Taqueria on Hastings and tried the Carne Asada Chicken Bowl, and it did not disappoint! It’s a delicious, great-value dish with a perfect combination of rice, beans, avocado, AAA beef, pico de gallo, and crema. Every bite was packed with flavor, and adding a touch of hot sauce gave it a great kick. This is gonna be one of my go-to bowls with my Mexican food craving.
I also had the Shrimp Taco, which was fantastic. The soft shell taco wrap was a winner which has the corn flavour, and the sauce on the marinated fried shrimp had a smoky, barbecue-like taste that complemented beautifully. The cheddar cheese was a bit salty for my taste, and I think Monterey Jack might make it even better, but overall, it was still a delicious taco and having the same cheese is not gonna bother me at all. Closed the appetite with an order of churros which was crispy and soft in the inside with a custard sauce on the side. I left happy from this place. Service was great. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Every time I visit La Taqueria Pinche on Hastings, I can't help but feel so satisfied—there's just something about their tacos that hits the spot. The flavours, the texture of the shell, and the spicy sauce too…. I've been here many times and always go for the same 3-taco combo. My favorites? The chicken, shrimp, beef, and fish tacos—each one is packed with flavor. I usually pair them with a lager or a margarita, and it’s always the perfect match.
They offer a great deal at $15.99 for 3 tacos during weekday lunch, and their happy hour from 2-5* makes it tempting to stop by. The vibe is bar hip and urban, which adds to the overall experience.
I’ll definitely keep coming back whenever I'm craving tacos—it’s easily one of my top picks for the best tacos in Vancouver.
