There aren't
alot of great, well-known Mexican restaurants around but one of the favorites for
Vancouverites would have to be
Las Margaritas. I went there on a Saturday night and as I expected, the waiting area was full. We were told the wait may be up to thirty minutes but since most of the other groups waiting were larger, we only waited for about five minutes before a small table came open.
Once we were seated it didn't take long to order. On a trip to
Cabo San Lucas, Jamie and I had fallen in love with Enchiladas Verde so we have to order that. It's made from shredded chicken wrapped in two overlapping corn tortillas and covered in a green
tomatillo sauce and cheese. It was served with beans and
Mexican-style rice. We also wanted to try something new so we ordered the
Pollo Chipotle. It was made from two boneless chicken breasts that were marinated in lime juice, cilantro, triple sec and of course tequila! It was grilled and topped with a
chipotle cream sauce, mushrooms and feta cheese and served with black beans and house salad.
You can probably guess what we ordered to drink... you can't go to
Las Margaritas and not order a margarita! We had a "Monster" blended lime margarita that contained fresh lemon and lime juice and their house brand;
Sauza Gold Tequila. If you don't like lime, they also offer a variety of flavors made with real juice and nectar including banana, coconut and pineapple to name a few.
When it comes to Mexican food in Vancouver, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is always buzzing with energy and the food and drinks are consistently great quality. Next time you're in the mood for Mexican head to
Las Margaritas in
Kitsilano for a sip and a bite.
