El Cartel
El Cartel is a Mexican street food restaurant housed in the lower level of the AMS Nest at UBC, born from a food truck run by an international team of chefs drawing on culinary traditions from Mexico, Korea, India, Ireland, and Vietnam. The menu features handmade corn tortilla tacos, burritos, and rice bowls with inventive fusions like Korean Bulgogi Steak Tacos alongside classic Beef Birria. It serves the UBC campus community with fresh, fast street food and also offers catering for events.
