Poncho's Mexican Restaurant


Poncho's Mexican Restaurant is located in Downtown Vancouver, on Denman and Robson Street. The restaurant is Mexican owned as well as operated, and offers a variety of authentically prepared Latin American cuisine. There are the usual quesadillas, fajitas, enchiladas and burritos, along with meat entrees on the menu. However, we are here for the paella. I do not know of many good restaurants that serve paella anymore, but there is something about Poncho's that lured us in when we walked by.

We arrived on a weekend for dinner and were originally offered a table for two, but we requested for a larger table which was fine with the staff. There was no BS that larger tables are reserved for three people and we did not have to restrict the amount of food we ordered to prevent juggling dishes around, like next door at Simba's Grill.

As for the interior, Poncho's is a squeaky clean restaurant, one where I could not find dust anywhere even if I tried to. The seating arrangements are also comfortably spaced out and not cramped one bit. There are also plates, sombreros and paintings on the wall which add to the homey atmosphere.

El Caracol Cafe


A restaurant that I have wanted to try for many years has been El Caracol Cafe and since I have been in the area for the last week or so, I finally made the visit. 

The restaurant is on the smaller side with only seven tables and the interior has bright orange coloured walls, yellow tables, with a counter resembles a cabana. In addition, there are a few nicknacks such as a Mexican pinata and a Japanese lucky cat. Furthermore, the restaurant has a case of jewellery for sale beside the pop machine and the back of the counter has DVDs available to purchase.
