It was fresh, light &amp; refreshing. The pork one had a nice smoking flavour. When I was digging into the beef tongue one, it hit the jackpot. The flavours started exploding in my mouth, and all I could see was a big pot of beef  tongues braised in a beautiful sauce consisting of all kinds of beautiful exotic spices slowly bubbling. The chicken mole was okay. It had a slight yeasty taste. The free range chicken got kind of lost in the sauce, and it tasted dry. I think some pulled pork might work better.<\/p>\n<p>All the tacos were in small 2-, 3-bite size, and served on a vibrant yellow plate, contrasting the elegant aqua blue throughout the whole place. The background music was relaxing and not cheesy. I felt like I was on a beach somewhere in Latin America. This place was definitely hip and lovely. I would definitely come back here!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/14\/1604801\/restaurant\/Fairview\/La-Taqueria-Vancouver\"><img style=\"border: none; width: 104px; height: 34px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/logo\/1604801\/biglogo.gif\" alt=\"La Taqueria on Urbanspoon\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I walked by La Taqueria\u00a0many many times when I was in the city hall area.
