Very Bueno Tacos has been serving Port Moody bold, authentic flavours since 2018, and they’ve become the local spot people mention first when they crave real Mexican street tacos. What sets them apart is a tight focus on freshness and technique: tortillas made in-house daily, house-marinated al pastor slow-roasted for hours, and a compact menu that nails every item it offers.

The menu is straightforward and confident. Think three classic taco sizes, each available with proteins like carne asada, pollo enchilado, al pastor and a crispy pescado option. They also offer loaded nachos, a vegan jackfruit taco, and weekend-only specials such as birria consommé bowls. Salsas are made on-site with roasted tomatoes and real serranos, and the agua frescas rotate by the week, often including horchata and hibiscus. Portions are generous; a typical dinner for two with tacos, a shared side and two drinks fills most people up under $40.

Very Bueno’s team is small but experienced. The kitchen is led by a chef who trained in Mexico City kitchens and a pastry cook who keeps the churros crisp. Service is friendly and fast, with most orders ready in 10 to 15 minutes. The restaurant seats about 40 inside a bright, tiled space with communal tables and a mural celebrating local artists. They also take online orders through their website for pickup and use local delivery partners for same-day drop-offs.

Locals choose Very Bueno for consistent flavour, reasonable prices, and the feeling of eating in a place that knows its neighbours. It’s the spot for a casual weekday lunch, a quick family dinner, or grabbing tacos before a movie at the nearby Port Moody Arts Centre.
