   Food choice was varied and excellent. The only complaint was the noise level was somewhat noisy at times.

   I filled in the reservation requesting a booth and noting that both my friend and I were celebrating our birthdays. We were shoved in a busy, noisy spot, spoiling the intimacy of the dinner, and mostly ignored. No mention of birthdays. Food is fantastic. Ambience: unpleasantly noisy and busy. Service: flippant.

   We love visiting Cantina Norte. We don’t live in North Vancouver but when we visit it is a must. Great restaurant!

   Great spot to go to before a musical at Highland Chirch. The restaurant gave us a discount as we weee seeing the show. Great way to support the community. Great cocktails. Fun atmosphere.

   I treated my granddaughter & her husband, along with my 2 great grandchildren, aged 4 & 2. I like to take them to Cantina Norte because "niños are welcome", and that is so important! We've been here before, and certainly will be going back in the future!

   The experience I had at Cantina Norte was excellent including the service, food and ambiance. I felt very comfortable and relaxed with regards to the total atmosphere. I would defintely dine there again.

   Excellent food and service. Definitely the best Mexican restaurant in Vancouver and actually the best I have had anywhere.

   The pork tacos are amazing. Possibly the best tacos I've had in Vancouver. 10/10 will taco again. The margs were also great Churros were just ok though. The barbacoa was really good but I'd rather have the tacos again.

    Our second time in weeks visiting this restaurant. The food is good and we feel decent value for everything offered. The last time we went we were told nachos were unavailable as the oven was broken? What! Is there no back up oven to offer for nachos a standard ask at Mexican restaurants. This time again we were told nachos were unavailable. Disappointed but other good options on menu. When we ordered cocktails we asked for a couple of palomas. She took our request and returned with ‘we’re out of grapefruit juice’ there is a thrifty’s adjacent to the restaurant.. pretty sure grapefruit juice could have been procured considering the restaurant was empty.
