“ I had mixed feelings about my visit to El Mezcaleria in Vancouver, BC. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was good, but the portion sizes left much to be desired. For a table of six, we started with an appetizer that came with just four small tortillas. Each tortilla could be broken into about four chips, which disappeared instantly. We asked for more and received just four more tortillas, which also vanished quickly. It was puzzling, as most Mexican restaurants provide at least a basket or two of chips. The limited amount of tortillas was surprising and a bit disappointing. For my main dish, I ordered the only vegan burrito option. While it was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, it was incredibly small. For 18, I expected to feel satisfied, but I would have needed at least two burritos to feel full. The vegan churros were splendid! I definitely recommend! Although the food was delicious, the portion sizes and value for money were underwhelming. If you’re planning to visit, I recommend ordering a bit more than you think you may want. It’s also a great spot for a date, thanks to its vibrant atmosphere and stylish presentation. ”
