Las Islas En Ponchos - Vancouver

I'm going to start this off by saying I'm not one to usually do this, but I feel like I have to warn everyone just so that this doesn't happen to anyone else! My uncles who visited here came to enjoy themselves for food. One of my uncles had about 4 thousand dollars in an envelope on him because he had plans to go get a car after dining here with my other uncle. Well, my uncle was on his way out when he realized he accidentally left his envelope on the seats at the table. They quickly returned to the table and realized it was NOWHERE to be found. They alerted the female worker/waitress working there and told her what had happened and had asked to see the camera footage to get to the bottom of this. When they showed the footage, the time frame of when they left and forgot the money there on the seat and when they were eating had been CROPPED!!! And when confronted about it, they claimed they had no idea what had happened! They demanded an explanation, and nobody all the sudden couldn't explain the chopped footage!!! My uncle is very, very old and works very hard for his money! The fact that this place has proven to be unfaithful to its customers is unsettling! Again, I don't usually go out of my way to do this, but it's been weighing heavy on me and my family and hopefully this being said can warn people of the kind of staff that are present! I don't want this happening to anyone else who decides to come here. We will be getting into contact with some legal help and the authorities to investigate this matter soon!

I love the molcajete Kora, and the Mangonada is soo good. Thank you ?

This used to be my favorite seafood restaurant, but that changed today. We arrived 45 minutes before their stated closing time, along with another family, and were refused service because they claimed they were already closed. Their website says they close at 9 PM, but when we arrived at 8:15 PM, they told us they were no longer serving. A member of the other family asked why their website lists a closing time of 9 PM if they wouldn't honor it. She even mentioned that she works at another restaurant where they serve customers who arrive before the stated closing time.

The music from the jukebox felt a bit loud for my taste. The food was enjoyable, and the service was decent, although our server didn't check on us during our meal. The seafood menu looked fantastic! We tried the fish tacos, which were tasty, along with some chicken, and both were good.

I absolutely love this place! The Mojarra Frita is phenomenal—it's the best I've ever had. It's cooked to perfection every single time, and when you add the garlic gravy, it's just incredible. The staff is incredibly sweet and kind. We visit frequently, so don’t let the 3.9-star rating dissuade you. My wife and I waited a long time before trying it, and we regret not coming sooner. This place is fantastic! It offers the best seafood by far. I can't recommend it highly enough!
