The Burrow, Mexican restaurant in Commercial Drive, Vancouver, Canada
The Burrow is a Mexican-inspired restaurant in Vancouver, Canada, with a menu focused entirely on vegetarian and vegan cooking. It serves burritos, tacos, nachos, and salads made with locally sourced ingredients.
The restaurant opened in 2009 under the name Bandidas Taqueria and changed its name to The Burrow in 2022. The new name was chosen out of respect for the cultural origins of the word that was previously used.
A mural by Indigenous artist Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley covers one wall of the dining room and gives the space a vivid, personal feel. The kitchen actively sources ingredients from small suppliers run by people from marginalized communities.
The restaurant opens later in the day on weekdays but earlier on weekends, making it a good spot for a weekend brunch. Arriving early in the evening on weekdays tends to mean a shorter wait for a table.
The kitchen reinvents familiar Mexican dishes in plant-based form, offering items like vegan wings and a baked cheese dip that many visitors do not expect to find on a Mexican menu. The Willow Bowl breakfast hash and the Burrow Smash cocktail show how far the menu goes beyond what you might expect.
