Barf! Pepitas? Topango? Andale’s? Your’ve got to be kidding me… Try these if you want authentic Mexican/Latin American in Vancouver: http://www.davidgrant.ca/map_of_authentic_mexican_latin_american_food_in_vancouver

BTW, I’m not deriving any benefit from linking to my site (my site is ad-free), other that the satisfaction of people enjoying authentic Mexican food.

You want good Mexican and you want it in Kits? Andale’s! I’ve only been there once but the food was sooo good and sooo Mexican I’m set on it as being one of the best choices in Vancouver. There’s another on Davie street.

And btw, I know my latino food very well as most of my mum’s friends are Central American.

For my money, EL Pulgarcito on Vancouver’s East Side at 2522 East Hastings Street is just about as authentic as it gets when it comes Latin American cuisine in our city … and the prices are great, too. You’ve got to try to the “small” burrito, for only $4.50; easily a meal in itself.

I was under the impression that Pepita’s is more of a Spanish restaurant than a Mexican one, but it’s been a long time since I ate there, and there’s every chance that my memory was impaired by one too many Coronas.

La Casista on Abbott and Cordova is the best Mexican I have had in a long time. I know its not Kits, but your little Gastown cousin needs to weigh in.

It’s worth checking out the Mouse & Bean (corner of Cambie & Hastings so doesn’t count as Kits by any stretch of the imagination.) The food isn’t very fancy, but it is nice. I pointed a mexican friend of mine there – he had much the same complaint about mex. food in Vancouver – and he tells me that it’s about as authentic as it gets.

Unfortunately it is really hard to find a good Mexican restaurant in Vancouver. Most of the time menus have dishes that look promising, but once you order you get something that has nothing to do with what the real dish is supposed to be.

The only really good Mexican place we’ve found near Vancouver is in Vernon, across the border.
