La Mezcaleria - Vancouver, British Columbia

SUMMARY: Great, authentic Mexican food with chill vibes and great service. ENVIRONMENT: It's very close to East Hastings so not the best neighbourhood. But once inside, we were greeted with smooth instrumental hip-hop (J-dilla's "doughnuts" album) for a relaxed vibe. They have really nice lighting and I like the brick walls and ... hanging plants, offering a hip feel. SERVICE: Top notch, our waitress was great! No complaints. MENU / FOOD: They were out of a number of their Mezcals and orange juice, so our selection was a bit limited and I couldn't get a Mimosa. That aside, the spiked piña avocado smoothie was really unique and delicious. The tortillas are legit corn tortillas too 🌽. I had the migas vegetarianas which I thoroughly enjoyed, and you can't miss their house chipotle salsa. Read more

We might go back for happy hours deals. Read more

Ok place . Appetizer Portions are small, music and atmosphere not very authentic. Food is ok but small portions and prices are higher. I understand rents and overhead costs are high but at least provide better portions. Service is ok but run by mostly non-professional young adults. I really don't ... get what this place is trying to achieve and offer. 2/5 in my books. Read more
