Had the pork belly torta, it was delicious. Nice and filling, wish I had more salsa and pickles to curb the fattiness and saltiness of the pork but other than that I really enjoyed it. I'll be back for that!

This place was great! Super friendly staff and very willing to help with the menu.

Celiac friendly.

We really enjoyed the flavors and the way you can build your own tacos. The nacho chips and guacamole is well worth it, tons of guacamole!

We had our cold after the soccer game we went to and it was still amazing, chips crunchy.

Good food.cute decor. A little bit expensive but everything in Vancouver I guess. Food is very tasty. Soft tortilla and tasty pork filling. No fuss and polite staff

One of the best tacos in Vancouver with a reasonable price and great ambience. I visit this place regularly and it never disappoints.

I have loved Chancos since they opened in their Yaletown location. They excel in what they do, which is carnitas tacos. 1/4 pound is perfect for lunch and it comes with four tortilla. You have an option to choose the level of fattiness and they are all priced differently. I used to buy their tortilla by the kilogram a few years back but it got expensive because they are so fresh and I went through them so quickly. This is as good as it gets when it comes to tacos in Vancouver.

Food was alright, but i’ve tried other mexican places way better. I ordered pork belly tacos and horchata. The drink was so so, it was very watery and the tacos were good. Price is a bit high for what I was expecting. Service should improve way more since the guy attending us was not in a good mood.

I’d say they can improve more. I don’t get too much the hype.

Order at counter joint. The tortillas are fresh, and with the mix of tender belly and shoulder carnitas, everything tasted fine. It would be good if there was a complementary flavor like a pickled radish or onion. There is a variety of salsa offered but they're stingy with it and they are not very flavorful either.

I wouldn't come here to try tacos if you are looking for something extraordinary. It's definitely a solid lunch option.
23 August 2023 15:45
As a Mexican I can tell you this place is authentic and the food is great. For Vancouver is 5/5, for Mexico maybe 4/5
16 August 2023 17:05
Some of the best tacos in the city due to the fact that the tortillas are fresh and amazing. Carnitas are really well done and the condiments are similar to a Korean banchan
28 July 2023 3:52
The new location is great, more lively and has good vibes, the food is good as well as the drinks, the tortillas are as in Mexico, soft and corny which is the base for a good taco.
15 February 2022 9:23
Need to make tortillas that can stay together to eat a full taco. 1 bite and tortilla was all destroyed
14 February 2022 11:03
Awesome food. Great taste excellent quality. Unfortunately kind of expensive with small portion sizes but that's normal for uptown Vancouver.
01 February 2022 5:37
Hands down the best tacos in town (and some of the best food- period). The pork is perfect, the tortilla is perfect, and the accoutrement are out of this world. Chancho is a gem in Vancouver. Thank you team Chancho!
21 January 2022 23:17
Tried the campechano (mix) tacos.

Perfectly seasoned. Nice and crispy crackling. Pork belly is rendered nicely.

Can taste the full corn flavor from the taco wrap.

My friends and I were uncomfortable as there were 5 of us sitting at one of their picnic tables, I asked if I could get a chair for myself and they didn't have one. Nonetheless, the food was good, but there wasn´t much customer service.
31 December 2021 16:36
Simple but perfect, great food, great drinks, well priced.
Not infusion, not "modern" but truly great and perfect. The margs half sweet is the way to go:)
24 December 2021 20:36
If you like pork tacos, this place is it. They make everything there, including the tortillas. Not many quick restos in Vancouver with quality food like this.
23 December 2021 15:44
Best tacos in town, the 1/4 pound is an excellent size for lunch and the atmosphere reminds me of many of the places I are growing up, welcoming but not flashy.
16 December 2021 20:53
My favourite place to get carnitas tacos. They serve fresh tortillas and a great variety of salsas. The amounts served are great value for the price. Guac is delicious too and national mexican beers! Highly recommended
09 December 2021 15:53
First time going there today and it was so amazing. The pork belly is a must try! Their tortillas are fantastic.
03 December 2021 17:14
Delicious! I like the build your own tacos, really tasty sauces! Added my own avocado for some extra
26 November 2021 21:09
Food was good. But I found it too little for the price. We ordered 1/2 pound of squash tacos and 1/4 point of potatoes tacos. I did not weight the food, but felt like little.
26 November 2021 19:32
If you travelled to Mexico and are a pulled pork fan this is the spot to eat at.cool vibe.good music.
26 September 2021 11:54
Fantastic tortillas - they use a different corn grain and they taste like the corniest version of corn. Delicious.

I've always loved their pork dishes, but their veg options could use a bit of a hand. Try the mezcal margaritas.
25 September 2021 12:13
Fantastic. Love the canteen style setup and of course the food. You order and pay up first, then find your seat and get ready for a feast. Orders came fast - real fast. On labour day weekend, our 2x 1/4 tacos came in 5 min after we sat. Bother the squash and pork shoulders were fantastic. Shoulders were lean but flavourful and juicy. Squash was charred and had nice balance of sweet and savoury.
Watch out for one of the “red salsa” - I broke out a sweat and I can take heat. Which red one you asked? (you will be given three sauces, two red, one green). Well…you will know.
For two of us, we ordered 2x 1/4lb of tacos plus bean soup. We were more than stuffed. So, gauge carefully.
Will return. Love it.
18 September 2021 10:39
The tortillas I had with my meal were super tasty. Tortillas aren’t something I notice often but now I’ll pay attention and always make comparisons to Chancho. I was also digging the tunes.
16 September 2021 17:37
Really cute place with authentic Mexican food. We tried the pork belly, shoulder and mixed tacos. 1/4 pound. The best one in my opinion was the pork belly. Really juicy. The sauces were very tasty too. The only downside is the portions are fairly small for the price. The homemade horchata was really nice, we also tried the agua de Jamaica, it's not my personal taste but it wasn't bad.
31 August 2021 22:15
A bit pricey, but great carnitas! My husband loves the pancita and i am a big fan of maciza tacos, 1/2 lb per person and you can take a taco left over, the 1/4 might not be enough for 1 person. Great tortillas too!
27 August 2021 2:16
Had the squash veggie option. This place is fantastic. They're sauces are hot and absolutely delicious. I would eat here again!
20 August 2021 20:06
We visited this restaurant today for lunch not knowing what to expect and oh boy were we just delighted, we ordered a pound of mixed carnitas which came with three kinds of salsa about 18 freshly made tortillas cilantro onions beans pickled cabbage and a combination of pickled onions and fresh jalapeños, it was just as auténtico as it gets, it reminds me so much of my home country Mexico that I’ll defenetly will come back over and over.
16 August 2021 2:45
There isn't much wrong here. The food is classic and has no additives. The meat seems to be slow cooked and tender while the tortilla tastes fresh. I really like the salsa as well. I would rate it 4.5 If I could. Maybe introduce some more options.
27 July 2021 16:18
We were keen on Mexican and this was the first place that popped up in our search. We decided on a whim to go there without doing any research and we were not disappointed. Super charming place with amazing taco options! Would highly recommend!
26 July 2021 15:57
Got the campechano torta and it was delicious. The bread was soft and fresh and the pork mix inside was tender and tasty.
24 July 2021 1:54
For as little as 15$, I got 4 tacos for it and it was plenty filling for me. The meat was great and in sufficient portion. Each of the condiments too had more than enough for 4 tacos. You get to customize your own tacos with your prefered portion of each and it was enjoyable. However, eating it was a bit messy so I wish they would have included some napkins with the take out order.
30 June 2021 1:31
Five stars during happy hour 3-6pm.regular pricing a bit high, 3.5 stars.must order the guac.tortas (sandos) are huge, pate + coriander on a soft bun with a big serving of pork.also they were playing good tunes (house) both times
06 June 2021 14:59
The marg’s here are to die for! Small menu that’s always changing, but everything is made fresh and it shows. Friendly staff and great service. Will be back!
30 May 2021 10:47
It’s expensive, and worth it! My local tortilleria sells a different type of fresh tortilla daily. If you’ve never eaten on fresh off the grill, get ready for a taste sensation. The minimum order is 12, and they are worth 50 cents each, and are a source of fibre!
Boil your beans, make some arroz amarillo. Make some quesadillas or tacos- (thin enough to use two per taco!). Shake a margarita and enjoy! #LIFEISSHORT #I️TACOS
22 April 2021 17:57
By far the most authentic Mexican restaurant in the city, and the only place I know that makes their own tortillas. Most places would even spice up their frijoles to be trendy, but theirs are made exactly like my mom's. Excellent service, food, concept, and vision. I'd be crushing tortas for happy hour all the time if it weren't covid.
15 April 2021 0:19
Friendly service. Fresh food. Excellent taste. Highly recommend for the mixture of pork belly and shoulder. Clean. Dining in and take out. $$
06 April 2021 21:32
I used to go frequently before the lockdown. Sadly, I've been avoiding restaurants since. I do takeout but since I've been working from home, I don't go downtown much.

I went downtown recently so I stopped in at Chancho again. It was as good as I remember and the people working there are super friendly. I usually order the pork tacos with mixed types of pork. Unbelievably delicious! But it's the other stuff that comes with them that are exceptional. The tortillas and the beans are the best.

My wife is Latina and she raves about this place.

I can't wait to get back to work in person so I can eat there every week again.

Muchas gracias - riquisimo!
17 March 2021 23:43
The Taco's were really good.the service was kind of the worst. You pay upfront and tip upfront, than you never see your server again. So that kind of ruined it
16 March 2021 6:33
Food is good. Shame the front of house staff are rude. I came back a second time only for take out this time around and tipped 10% on that. Male handling the POS system immediately looked at the receipt and huffed. When he gave me my order he gave me a shifty eye “thanks”. I would still recommend the food but only for take out because the service is horrible.
03 March 2021 10:04
OMG! I Terribly regret.not coming here before. Wow. I Have NEVER had Mexican food like this before. The tortillas are OUT OF THIS WORLD and in and of themselves worth eating but the meat? Words can't describe the perfectly prepared, melt in your mouth flavourful explosion! I better take up weight lifting since I'm going to be slamming back a LOT of this protein in the near future. Great job guys. Thank you for the best meal I've had in recent memory!
27 December 2019 7:07
1/2 lbs mixed pork for 2 people. $22+taxes+tip. The meat was really good but the wraps felt cold and not up to par. Worth going once just to see if u like it or not. It might just not be for me.
23 December 2019 10:05
The best taqueria in Vancouver, you can taste Mexico in every bite! Wish I could give it more stars!
18 December 2019 11:04
Amazing, absolutely amazing. Great authentic carnitas tacos, good vegetarian options, awesome beer and cocktail selection. Definitely looking forward to coming back on my next trip to Vancouver.
01 December 2019 5:29
We were on the way to see IRON MAIDEN and stop at this tasty taco shop. It was awesome, the taco we ordered were crispy pork belly mixed pork shoulder, juicy and tender.the best I ever had in town for so long.
27 November 2019 12:20
Small menu but everything on there is delicious. The tortillas and micheladas were easily the best I've had in Vancouver.
19 November 2019 4:29
At first I wasn't impressed. There was a very long wait and the atmosphere reminds me of a public school cafeteria in the US.like the first-grade lunch room with linoleum floors and painted cinder-block walls. It was stiflingly hot in there and very loud. I felt better when the food came. Some of the best tacos I've ever had. I have dreams about that pork!
15 November 2019 7:11
We ordered the Campeche Taco's, the lechon was delicious but the tortilla wasn't cooked. Good overall
14 November 2019 9:09
An amazing casual atmosphere- this place is both clean, upbeat, and relaxing. The customer service is stellar, they clearly care about the experience they provide. This is the kind of food that you go home and think about non-stop until you can get it again.
08 November 2019 10:24
Seriously the best taco place in my opinion. Yes, they have a very minimalist menu (mostly pork), but the little that they do - they excel

The have the tastiest pork around and even tried their veggies and it is still pretty amazing.

Did I mention that they also make their own tortilla?

I should maybe just ask next time if they are use wheat or corn as I can't really tell.
08 November 2019 7:04
Far and away the best tacos I've had in Vancouver. The pork shoulder/belly mix with the fantastic corn tortillas and assorted sides make for a fantastic lunch or dinner.
24 October 2019 21:56
Very flavourful, straightforward and delicious tacos. Had the pork shoulder and loved it. This place is the real deal.
23 October 2019 4:52
For the price, this place is amazing! Cheap Mexican food is always risky but this place doesn't disappoint.the staff are friendly and welcoming.the food is prepared fast and accurately.the decor is nice too!
21 October 2019 18:03
Best Tacos we had in Vancouver! Service is super friendly and helpful! Tacos and meat taste great and super fresh. 1/2lb comes with 8 Tacos and paired with their fresh made Guacamole is fantastic for 2. The price for dishes is fair, considering size and quality.
20 October 2019 21:56
The food is delicious. It's hard to find an authentic Mexican restaurant and this is it. The tortillas were soft and the guacamole was creamy. I loved it and I will definitely be back.
07 October 2019 11:09
I tried a few tacos joints in Vancouver and Chancho is way better in my opinion than alot of tacos restaurants. You can tell how fresh the tortillas are by the fluffiness and little elasticity it still has so it doesn't break. The meat was juicy and succulent. The condiments were perfect. A lot of places makes fusion and distorted version of classic tacos but doesn't respect the technique. Chancho is An AWESOME carnitas. They deserve 5 stars and should be listed in the top 3 best tacos in Vancouver
06 October 2019 22:52
Corn tortillas and a delicious home-style choice of meat and vege fillings. Roadside Cantina atmosphere, Quick cheap and delicious; A mexican trifecta!
26 September 2019 5:12
Great little Mexican place. Great pricing, spectacular food and great friendly staff. Definitely be back.
16 September 2019 2:44
I ordered 250 tacos for a company event and everyone loved the tacos. They were great with communication and made it an easy process. Price was very adorable and will definitely do another large order in the future. Thank you Chanchos! It was so yummy
12 September 2019 17:21
We came to this place for lunch.we heard about this place from many people. Well, we were not disappointed.we were warmly welcomed by the staff members and we felt very good. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Keep it up.
04 September 2019 12:23
Fresh tortillas that weren't top thick but still kept together, even with all the delicious juicies.
Meat was tender and delicious and it definitely fulling. Horchata a bit sweet but not as sweet as most other places.
You do get your meats worth fpr the price.
01 September 2019 16:17
The food was excellent. Service was fast. It was the best taco place in our taco hopping tour of Vancouver.
09 August 2019 12:34
Excellent spot for picking up carnitas to take home. In my experience, 1 kg is enough for 8-10 people.
