burrito a go–go

Cheap and cheerful Mexican joints are popping up faster than you can say Gael Garcia Bernal. At Yaletown's new Salsa & Agave Mexican Grill, mama cooks in the back while her hottie son waits on tables. Grab a seat on the sidewalk and order the refreshing, house–made fruit water ($2) extracted from an indigenous Mexican tree. Next, tuck into authentic sopes ($3), puffy hand–made corn tortillas with crimped edges that hold beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, avocado and a choice of meats–like Carnitas soft pork. The waiter is so cute you may want to take him home–in which case you can try out the one Spanish phrase you know: "Y Tu Mama Tambien" (and your mother, too). Salsa & Agave Mexican Grill, 1223 Pacific Blvd., Vancouver, 604-408-4228. |
