I was a bit hesitant to come here because parking is a nightmare and this is a chain, but I’m happy to be wrong. This is the epitome of service! We have a young child and they thoughtfully sat us away from most of the tables.
The child had some plain kids cheese quesadillas, which were not on the menu, but suggested by the server. B and I shared the Tuna Tartare and the Queso Fundido Mixto, and they were great. The tuna was a perfect blend of spice and acid. Each bite was light and had a bit of crunch and softness. The queso was very rich, salty, cheesy, and fatty- but in a good way. The meat was tender but still had chew. Balanced perfectly with the plain tortillas.
Halfway through the meal, B finished his beer and wanted another. He was looking around to find someone, and the bartender noticed, and flagged a server down to take our order. This is what I mean by the epitome of service. When it’s not your job but you’re helping your colleagues out.
Took a chance coming here, but so glad we did. We finished with the freshly fried churros and it was perfect. Will definitely return!

La Taqueria at Brentwood in Burnaby delivers solid, flavorful Mexican street food with generous portions. The tacos are well-seasoned, ingredients taste fresh, and the salsas add a nice kick. Service is friendly and efficient, making it a good casual spot for a quick bite. A bit pricey for what you get, but overall a reliable and satisfying option in the area

Great food. Even the chips and guac hit the spot. We got a couple of items (sorry no pictures) but all of those were great. My beef burrito was filling, cheesy and good. It was our friend’s birthday and the staff put on a lil show with churros – that was wonderful

Cuisine
Tuna Tartare
A beautifully plated starter, this dish featured fresh ahi tuna paired with sesame seeds, soy sauce, olive oil, avocado, cucumber, red onion, jalapeño, cherry tomato, and green onion, served with crispy corn chips. The tartare was exceptionally well-balanced—clean, vibrant, and layered with contrasting textures. The freshness of the ingredients and delicate heat from the jalapeño made it a standout.
10/10
Pollo Con Mole
An elegant interpretation of a traditional Mexican classic. The chicken was tender and moist, served beneath a rich mole coloradito sauce that was both unfamiliar and deeply satisfying. Unlike sweeter mole variations, this one carried a subtle smokiness and earthy warmth, complemented by crema, queso, onion, cilantro, and a bold salsa macha. It was an unexpectedly memorable dish.
9/10
Chicharrón Norteño
Deep-fried pork belly served with guacamole, red onion, and cilantro. The pork belly was crisped to perfection—crunchy on the outside with luscious fat rendered just right. The guacamole brought a creamy, cooling counterpoint, and the overall seasoning was assertive but balanced. A comforting, flavor-forward bite.
9/10
Camarones al Ajillo
Prawns sautéed in guajillo peppers and garlic. A dish that leaned on simplicity, but executed with confidence. The prawns were plump and tender, while the guajillo imparted a mild smoky depth and the garlic infused every bite with aromatic warmth.
9/10
Churros de Pueblo
Texturally, the churros were well-made—crispy on the outside with a soft, doughy interior. However, they arrived noticeably cold, which dulled their enjoyment. A shame, as they likely would have been excellent served fresh and warm.
6/10
Drinks
We sampled the Paloma, Tepachito, and Lychee Tequila cocktails. Each drink was refreshing and well-constructed. The lychee tequila, in particular, offered a delicate sweetness with a smooth finish—a clever fusion of tropical and traditional elements.
Service
The service was warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Staff were knowledgeable and eager to assist without being intrusive. The only misstep was the apparent delay in bringing out the dessert, which may have contributed to its suboptimal temperature.
8/10
Ambiance
The restaurant boasts a clean, modern aesthetic with casual charm. The space is thoughtfully designed, vibrant, and reflective of its contemporary approach to Mexican cuisine. It feels both approachable and stylish, striking a fine balance between authenticity and urban polish.
9/10
Value
For the quality of ingredients, presentation, and flavor execution, the pricing is more than fair. Portions are generous, and the diversity of the menu offers something for both adventurous diners and traditionalists.
Verdict
La Taqueria Pinche Taco Shop is a bold, modern homage to Mexican culinary traditions, executed with precision and flair. From the delicately balanced tuna tartare to the comforting richness of the mole, the menu showcases depth, authenticity, and creativity. While the churros fell short, the meal overall was a delight. A compelling destination for anyone seeking vibrant, elevated Mexican cuisine in Burnaby.
Highly recommended.

What a great traditional Mexican food restaurant, nestled in the Brentwood Mall!
My daughter and I ordered quesadilla with avocado and quesabirra (the Mexican version of a beef dip). My favorite dish was the quesabirra, a must try for sure.
I took a star away because of the price of a mocktail. 9 dollars for a non alcoholic drink is a bit much! Especially when she said it was a special.
Great food! Great service! Mocktail prices need to be revisited!

It is a very beautiful atmosphere and very delicately designed the food taste amazing and everything feels so authentic. The service was awesome . Santiago provided excellent guidance for food and made my friend’s birthday a very special experience. It was my first time, but I definitely will be back.

Came for the Sunday brunch and it did not disappoint ✨ The barbacoa sandwich was delicious as well as the mimosas. Would recommend for a girly brunch anytime, and no only that, the service was amazing, Santiago was an amazing server and kept checking on us and being very attentive and easygoing, one of the best servers i’ve had.

I visited this restaurant as part of a group of 15. I called the Monday prior to our Saturday reservation to book for our group, and during that call I was informed that an 18% gratuity would be applied due to the group size. I agreed, and the reservation was confirmed.
On Thursday, the restaurant called again to reconfirm the same details, including the 18% gratuity, which I agreed to once more. On the day of the reservation, we received a third call confirming the gratuity. We again agreed and arrived for our 7:00 PM reservation as planned.
Our server was polite and respectful; however, service was disorganized. Despite informing him that our entire table was ready to order, he insisted that we were not. He would take only three orders at a time, leave for approximately 10 minutes, return to take another three orders, and repeat this process multiple times. This significantly delayed our ordering and overall dining experience.
Food allergies were clearly communicated to both the server and the chef. Despite this, a dish containing the allergen was still served to a guest. Approximately two minutes later, staff returned and informed us that the allergen had not been removed. This is extremely concerning, as the guest could have been harmed had they begun eating immediately. Fortunately, the dish had not yet been touched, but this was a serious lapse in food safety.
Our final concern involves the gratuity. We fully understand and accept gratuity charges for large groups. However, when it came time to pay, we noticed that a 20% gratuity was being charged instead of the agreed-upon 18%. While the 2% difference itself is not significant, changing a confirmed rate without notice is unacceptable.
When questioned, the server stated that the manager said it was 20% for groups of 13 or more and that this policy was listed on the menu. Before leaving, we reviewed the menu ourselves, which clearly states “18% gratuity for groups of 6 or more,” with no mention of a higher percentage for larger groups.
We declined the offer to refund the 2%, as our concern was not the money but the principle. Given the inconsistent service, lack of transparency, and most importantly the disregard for guest safety regarding allergies, none of us will be returning. Overall, the experience reflected poorly on the restaurant’s integrity.
