La Taqueria - 2nd location - Broadway & Cambie!
I saw yesterday that a religious painting was being sprayed on the wall of the now gone "Buddha Oriental Express" right beside Starbucks on Cambie. I said to my friend, "I wonder if we're getting new Mexican?" (I think in the back of mine I recognized the picture from the downtown location)...
Today as I walked by he was painting "La Taqueria" down the back side. So I stopped and asked him if it was the one & same as the one downtown. With a big smile, he said, "yes". Good news for this area!

Popped by for an, um, early lunch on their first day today, around 11:40. Already 1/3 filled with customers. Service behind and outside the counter was going at a steady pace. Ordered my usual (Pender St) mix of pescado (fish), lengua (beef tongue), pastor and carnitas. All were on point like at Pender. Four for $9, couldn't beat that.
By 12:15 a long line was forming at the door.

There's an urban planning concept/term called "Transit-Oriented Development" (TOD) which has been increasingly applied in our region (and other metropolitan areas with good transit networks) since Expo Line began in 1986.
With the Canada Line, I hope to see more Taco-Oriented Development along its corridor :-D
