The Cannibal Cafe – Bacon Bad Burger

The Cannibal Cafe’s been on my list of places to visit on The Drive for a while… mainly for the thick milkshakes that I’ve heard about.

Taco Luis (Lansdowne Centre)

Taco Luis currently has two locations serving up tasty tacos and bountiful burritos… their location in Oakridge Mall and the one in Lansdowne Centre.

Taco Time (Brentwood Mall)

I think I have a problem… for some reason that I can’t explain, I’m hooked on the bright, neon orange “cheese” that Taco Time slathers on their mexi fries deluxe.  I know, it’s a sickness.

Chronic Tacos (New West)

If you’re looking for a laid back place to pick up some Mexican-style fast food, Chronic Tacos might be the place for you.  The interior of this American-based franchise is a little too Ed Hardy-esque for my liking (I think my retinas are still recovering from all of the bright red walls).

Taco Time (Lougheed Mall)

I think I’m in a bit of a rut… each time I stop by a Taco Time (like at my visit to the Metrotown Taco Time)  I always grab the same thing.

Taco Luis (Oakridge) – Taco Salad

Taco Luis has had an outlet at Lansdowne Centre for a while and has been a favourite place for us to pick up a great taco salad so we were pleasantly surprised to see that they opened another store in Oakridge.

Taco Time (Metrotown)

Have you ever seen the Seinfeld episode called The Calzone?  In one part, Mr. Steinbrenner tells George that he ate turkey chili in a bread bowl for lunch everyday from 1973 to 1982… “First you eat the chili then you eat the bowl.  There’s nothing more satisfying than looking down after lunch and seeing nothing but a table.”

I have the same affection for a taco salad.  The taco salad at Taco Time at the Metrotown food court comes in a shallow but large crispy tortilla shell.  It’s got all of your major food groups… meat, veggies, carbs, and cheese and you can eat the bowl!  In fact, it’s practically heresy if you don’t eat the taco bowl.
