A cheeky new spot for tacos and burritos is gearing up for its grand opening in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant.
Taco Loma has been teasing its debut on social media, and this week announced that it is going to shift out of "soft opening" mode with a splashy official launch on Thursday, June 26.
"It’s happening. It’s real. This isn’t a drill," the grand opening announcement begins.
The new spot has taken over the side room of El Gato Gab Gab on Main Street, and is predominantly for take-out and delivery, though they have some seats inside the small space and an outdoor parklet for enjoying eats on-site.
The "small burrito bar" is "inspired by the vibrant street food scene of Mexico City," according to an email from a rep.
"The menu sticks to the essentials, burritos, tacos, house-made chips and salsas, and slushy margaritas, with a focus on flavour and quality over filler," they continue. The operators also promise combo deals and special menu items.
Tacos come in pairs and are priced at $13-$14 per order, while burritos are all made on 13-inch flour tortillas and are priced $15-16. Fillings include options like chicken, pork belly, or smoked cauliflower.
"The tacos? Gorgeous. The drinks? So slushy they legally classify as weather," the Taco Loma crew jokes on social media.
For opening day, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Taco Loma will be "going absolutely feral" by offering $3 tacos and $5 slushy margaritas.
Taco Loma is at 2652 Main St and will be open Tuesday through Thursday and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Follow Taco Loma on Instagram at @taco.loma.
