Vancouver, BC
Best Mexican in Vancouver.
Harry's top 10 Mexican spots in Vancouver score 71–87 on the Harry Score.
Tacos are a delivery system for flavour, not a vehicle for cheese. Harry cares about the masa, the carne, whether the salsa verde was made today. He is not interested in nachos, guacamole by the tableside, or anything served in a novelty bowl.
