La Catrina Tacos - Saint Ives Australia

Best tacos in Van I've had so far. This place will be hoppin' in the summer being so close to the beach. Their chicken tinga is amazing. Do try!

This was the final stop of our five part taco crawl, and taco number 7 and 8. Good thing too, because we were stuffed. The “Taco Crawl” is an annual event created and hosted by “Vancouver Foodster”, to celebrate some of his favourite taco places. I was plus one to the the talented “Picky Diner”, who was not only one of the judges of this event; but a friend to “Vancouver Foodster”. We ended up tagging along with “Vancouver Foodster”, touring his own crawl. He was our food guide, giving us context of each place and regaling us with tasty tall tales.

I have been to la Catrina about once a week since they opened! Friendly staff and great food. The tacos are always an interesting and unique combination of flavours that leave me wanting more. I have now worked my way through the entire .

Absolutely loved the place, I ordered the 4 taco combo and it did not disappoint. They were really tasty, the meat to tortilla ratio was plentiful and I liked their little bar with salsas and avocado sauce. Extra points for having cochinita pibil on special :D It's a very small shop and super busy so it's had to sit down and enjoy your food on a nice summer day, so it's great for a quick bite before heading to the beach (they also pack pretty convenient to-go containers). One big minus is that they don't have a bathroom which in my opinion is a serious sanitation issue!

Best tacos EVER!!! Super friendly and feels like I'm on holiday every time! You have to try them! Cheap too..favorite is the fish and vegetarian potato or spicy mushroom!
