La Casita
Buy BC (independent) · RestaurantLa Casita is a family-founded Mexican restaurant that has been a fixture in Vancouver's Gastown neighbourhood since 2004, tracing its roots to a Powell River original opened in 1990. The kitchen is known for hand-made Tex-Mex staples — from Steak Tampiquena and chiles rellenos to house-made horchata and margaritas — drawing a loyal local following. Its corner location at West Cordova and Abbott, steps from Waterfront Station and both Rogers Arena and BC Place, makes it a practical and lively refuelling stop for cyclists riding through downtown Vancouver.
