Tocador - Vancouver, British Columbia

My friends and I went for some appetizers and drinks.. overall it was all okay, I liked the place, not too loud so good to meet up with friends where you’re socializing.. I thought the price was a little high for the quantity of food. The bowls of chips that came ... with the guac and the pico were quite small too so that was a little disappointing. The tacos and cocktails were good so I’d definitely go back for those. Read more

We decided to take a break at the Tocador. It’s been awhile since we last visited. The patio is ready for the warmer days ahead. It happened to be happy hour so we ordered a Guava Spritz and Mango-rita to start. We decided to have ... some carnitas tacos, grilled octopus over a tastado -tastados de pulpo, queso fundido -pork belly and cheese, and a flan for dessert. Everything was yummy. Highly recommend!

A lovely little spot in Van! The staff are super lovely and friendly. We went here for drinks and food, which ended up in us staying for way longer than expected as we enjoyed it that much! Cozy vibes and full of people enjoying one another's company! 10/10 recommend!

I stumbled upon this place while walking around the area. The owner is surely saving a lot on the power bill because I can't see what I'm eating in the darkness. It's also super loud inside. That being said, the staff is very attentive and the food is great. Aguachile ... de camarones was excellent, and the shrimp tasted super fresh. The grilled octopus on paella was my favorite - the octopus had just the right amount of char and the rice was simply delicious. Batata brava was well-seasoned, but the seasoning was uneven. Some bites were quite bland. The food is good in my opinion, but they could really turn up the lights a little. Read more

We were pleased to discover Tocador and tuck- in from the winter cold to this warm bar/lounge. The menu is mostly, although not entirely uniquely flavoured tacos. We ordered the Quesa Birria. The Birria is a soup that was a bit too brothy for our liking. The small cup of sauce ... for the taco was otherworldly. Deep well orchestrated flavours including chard tomato. The Torta sandwich is a more subtle flavour and came highly recommended by our server. We ordered the version with carnitas. I highly recommend this sandwich for a fully satisfying experience. Delicate flavours and smooth textured sauces. Sorry, can't describe the flavours in words but we all loved the sandwich! Topped with the Pepper-oni cocktail that if you order it wait for the backside black pepper takeover. Subtle and wonderful! Well return to this fine spot as soon as possible. Read more
