I used to work there. They reuse the salsas. They just top them up and give them to the next table. It’s really disgusting.

Andrea, welcome! I will admit I haven’t done take out from Don Guacamole’s so I won’t comment on that. As for the chips and salsa, in a way, that is debatable: think of it as a dine-in only freebie, the same way you are given complimentary bread on some restaurants. Will keep Salsa and Agave in mind!

They really need to figure out how to do takeout. They have enormous containers. And they don’t give you any chips and salsa, which is a rip when you consider the gallons of wasted salsa on the tables. Maybe they’re annoyed that takeout means no liquor sales, but it also means faster turnover. Salsa and Agave is far better at takeout.

CRC, welcome! If you are taking me seriously… Well, there you have a problem! As for myself, I left the assessment of authenticity of the food to my (Mexican) friend. He said it was good and that is enough for me.

The food here is fine. I love the studious seriousness of the review. Chill dude, it’s Mexican food. There is no ‘standard’ or ‘accepted’ way to prepare what goes into the ‘alambre’ which varies from taqueria to taqueria.

For many a-retentive Vancouverites, this is as close as you are going to get to ‘real’ Mexican street food.

Enjoy it!

4 tacos for $9.50, or $2.50 each…i think dona cata’s tacos are $1.75 or $2 now, so you are paying a “downtown premium” at don guac. still, i’d like to try the tacos for comparison.

Run out of spots in the west end for lunch yet? You’ve built up quite the collection since you started working there.

Also, sometimes, people aren’t really all that adventurous and want to stick to the safe places. That’s no fun either…
