Salsa and Agave

From Salsa and Agave

It is near impossible to find decent "authentic" Mexican food in Vancouver. We just don't have the Mexican population to support such the vibrant scene that you might see in California. Mexican food is a regional cuisine. Here at Salsa and Agave, the food is from Central Mexico. I wanted to order their tripe soup - but they only served it on weekends. Instead we shared a plate of tacos al pastor (red cooked pork) and a carne asada (grilled beef flank.)

The spicing and preparation tasted authentic. The dishes are lighter that how you would typically experience them in Mexico. The prices are very good too, considering they are located in Yaletown.
