Growing up, my mother would often makes tacos at home and she used to bring me to a Mexican Restaurant in Jakarta called Amigos, which I loved! My mother is pretty much obsessed with Mexican food (and SO AM I!) because she went to school in El Paso which was only a 10-minute drive to…

Vancouver Taco Crawl Recap
September 28th marked the first ever Vancouver Taco Crawl by Vancouver Foodster which took us on a whirlwind taco feast through various parts of Vancouver.

Edmonton Heritage Festival Recap
I’m currently on vacation in Edmonton visiting family. While here, I am on the hunt for shopping deals (save the PST!), new restaurants to try, and places to see and experience including this year’s Servus Heritage Festival in Hawrelak Park. This festival is a multicultural festival of food and cultural performances. I was really excited to check…

Tacomio #TacoChallengeYVR
Tacomio has only been open for a few months, yet it’s already leaving an impression on Vancouver’s culinary map. Fresh ingredients and traditional Mexican cooking techniques make this restaurant a must-try place to eat. Tacomio literally means “my taco” in Spanish, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this small taqueria does becomes one of Vancouver’s favourite…
The Mexican Gourmet (Port Coquitlam)
Living in the suburbs, we try to get out and support some of the local restaurants in the area, yet hope for something new and exciting. We happen to come across The Mexican Gourmet one weekend. I’m not sure how long this has opened, but it seemed relatively new. They have their original location in Maple Ridge, but…
San Antonio, Texas Food Adventures
Last month I went to San Antonio for a work trip – one of the first times travelling to Texas. I was told to eat as much meat as possible, as Texas was the land of BBQs. For the 3 days I was down there, I had my fair share of BBQs, steaks, brisket, and Tex-Mex food….
La Gloria Market Bellingham
Recently we were visiting a local Blaine restaurant, The Hot Spot, when the owner recommended La Gloria Market / Restaurant in Bellingham to us. He mentioned that it was the only Mexican restaurant that he’s been to that is high quality and didn’t give him heartburn. Hey, if another restaurant owner is raving about La…
Antojitos Mexicanos Mayeli
I’ve been hanging out at the Burnaby Heights a lot lately. This time I was in the mood for Mexican food. The term that comes to mind when describing this restaurant is “comida casera” or “homemade”. I found the food tasty, but it lacked the presentation flare. I also found that the prices were…
