Patron Tacos & Cantina

MexicanDowntownvalue

Patron Tacos & Cantina is one of the best mexican restaurants in Vancouver for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Downtown.

Patron Tacos & Cantina is doing something genuinely uncommon in Downtown Vancouver: a Mexican room priced accessibly enough that the whole table orders without the mental gymnastics, and yet the kitchen is clearly cooking with regional intention rather than coasting on cheap margaritas and nachos.
