World Food Tour: Cinco de Mayo at Sal y Limon

By Celine -
Last month, Jomar and I started our World Food Tour by visiting Afghan Chopan and Bakery for Afghan Cuisine. Today, Jomar suggested that we skip the alphabetical Foursquare categories and go straight to Mexican Restaurants because it's Cinco de Mayo.

Mexican Restaurant Category

Because we're in North America, there's an abundance of Mexican Restaurants in Vancouver. I picked the first one on Foursquare recommendation and we went to Sal y Limon.


Sal y Limon

We arrived at Kingsway and even inside the bus we can see the long lines outside. It was 6:30 in the evening and it was so hot outside. While waiting, I was silently praying that the food is worth the heat and the wait.


Appetizer

We had Nachos with chicken. If you check their website and their printed menu, Nachos is not yet there but it's printed on a paper along with the kid's menu near the counter.



I love their Nachos! The topping was generous and not just on top of the nacho. It was delicious.

Main Course

People have been raving about the tacos but we went a different route by getting Quesadillas and Burritos instead.



We had the Carne Asada con Queso (Grilled Beef with Cheese) Burrito. It was okay. I won't be ordering it again if we decide to come back.



We also had Tinga Vegetariana (Mushrooms, zucchini, onions and nopales) Quesadilla. It's great! I mean, you can never go wrong with Quesadilla but I didn't expect it to be that good.

Desserts

When we started eating, I thought the Nachos would be my favorite part of the meal until I took a bite of their Churros. Chocolate covered and crunchy, I will go back just for this!



We also got Cake Leches but we were so full that we decided to bring it home. It's now inside the fridge. We'll try it tomorrow.


I am food coma!
Location: Sal y Limon at 701 Kingsway Street #5, Vancouver, BC V5T 2R7, Canada

My first Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co.

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's...

Vancouver Christmas Market experience and review

Jomar and I have been planning to go here last year and even the year before, but somehow we never have gotten around to it. Today, after the Pokemon GO Community Day, we went to Jack Poole Plaza where the Vancouver Christmas Market is located. Then, it started raining. Merry Christmas! Nope, I'm not going to be drenched in the rain and endure the cold to be here. This rain is not in the forecast so it was completely unexpected. We decided to let the dark clouds pass inside the Starbucks at Shaw building across the street. After an hour, it stopped raining. Thank God! We lined up again and entered. It was still before sunset so it's bright. We took pictures around and feasted on the many great foods! I wish we could eat more but at some point, you just know that you're full.
