Life in the Lower Mainland (BC, Canada)

Been meaning to come here, finally dropped in on a whim for lunch. Lunch specials are decently priced! You can get a good meal for around $10. TIP: You want it spicy?

Azteca Soup & 2 Rolled Tacos (Taquitos) - $9.50 I let the server pick my tacos and she came up with beef tongue, and spicy pork with pineapple.

Yup, it's tasty! Golden & Red Beet Salad; mesclun artisan greens, mandarin orange, goat cheese, pistachio, garden herb vinaigrette Fresh and refreshing and also tasty. If you ask for vinaigrette on the side they apparently give you a very generous amount of it. Braised Lamb Burger Sl...
