La Loteria, Mexican Street Food

I'm so glad this place opened. vancouver is missing from latin street food. finally vancouver has affordable latino street food in a great location. it was so tasty! the chicharron torta was so good. reminds me of home. I am coming back

I want to give the benefit of the doubt that it may have been an off experience. I ordered 3 different types of Taco's and I had a few things to note. The meat itself and the flavour was quite good, nice and juicy. I'd say I was a bit let down with the amount of the tacos though. Felt like about 80% of the filling was cabbage, not super well chopped and also freezing cold. The sauces involved were also freezing cold so it ended up just countering the warmth of the meat filling and giving me a below room temperature taco. I appreciate and respect following Food Safe procedures but it was a bit overwhelming and off putting. It's very rare that I struggle to finish a taco. That said, I still want to come back and maybe try something different.

I tried 4 times (to not review out of the first try) pork belly tacos are probably the worst tacos I’ve tried,The salsa is not too bad, but for what I’m concerned is that the tacos appear to be cabbage, sour cream and cheese topped with almost nothing of pork belly on a super oily tortilla. Tamales are dry and small. the chicha torta is not to bad when it comes with scrambled eggs.I understand it’s hard to replicate Mexican seasoning but come on, this has nothing to do with a tasty flavour you are expecting from a restaurant. It’s so disappointing.And the costumer service is awful and it feels like the girl doesn’t like to be there, she doesn’t wear a face mask or a net on the head or a cap.Definitely last time trying to give this place a chance.

Super tasty casual Mexican food! Love the vegetarian tamales and the tostadas.

Loved the food here, very authentic and reminded me of when I was in Mexico. Portions are large and prices are fair. The owner is very friendly and insightful, I recommend checking out La Loteria if you’re downtown.
