One of our favourites for a fun dinner out -- fantastic mexican food and amazing cocktails (try the Pisco sour)! This is what they say on their site: a Mezcaleria in Vancouver is the first restaurant to offer a wide variety of the finest mezcals, as well as, high quality tequilas and cocktails inspired by the different regions of Mexico. Our dishes mirror traditional mexican recipes while sourcing organic ingredients locally and serving ocean-frienldy seafood options. Many of our dishes are inspired to be shared with family and friends. We welcome every member of the family by offering gluten free, vegetarian, vegan and carnivorous options.
