The Mexican Antojitos y Cantina

MexicanDowntownvalue

The Mexican Antojitos y Cantina is one of the best mexican restaurants in Vancouver for group dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Downtown.

What Chef Ana Cecilia Dander and Claudia Romo understood when they opened this 45-seat Granville Street room in 2011 is the thing most Mexican restaurants in Vancouver still miss: the city didn't need another Tex-Mex approximation.
