Arturo's Mexico to Go specializes in Mexican cuisine, offering authentic fare made from scratch  in their mobile kitchen. The meat is local and chemical free and the tortillas, salsas and guacamole are made fresh each day.

The menu is concise and consistently delicious, with something for everyone in the mood for Mexico to go. On our second visit, Amy and I went for broke, sampling most of what Arturo has to offer. The tortilla soup was a great start to a very satisfying meal, a perfect balance of flavour to get those tummy juices flowing and ready for more.

We followed that with a pork burrito bowl and a quesadilla, a tacotino and a beef burrito. The pork was fanstastic, complimenting the flavourful salad in the burrito bowl as well as hitting all the right notes in the tacotino.

The beef burrito was as expected, awesome! I had already tried the chicken earlier this month and the beef is as equally impressive!

The Mexican drought is over in Vancouver...dig in amigos!

You can find Arturo's at the corner of Howe and Cordova.

Eli's Serious Sausage is the newest food cart vendor to grace Vancouver's streets. Eli met with many sausage makers in the lower mainland and sampled their products.  He found one who's sausages stood out as far tastier than anything else available.  The best sausages he'd ever had.  Drew Dreissen is a fifth generation sausage maker with a true passion for his craft.  He is the man behind D-Orginal Sausage Company, a Main Street business dedicated to producing authentic German sausages using the best local meat and natural ingredients. The sausages are served with your choice of a fresh baked bread or pretzel bun sourced from a local bakery. Eli's menu has German style sausage, a hot Italian sausage, and one special sausage to change every week.  It comes on delicious bun from a local bakery, made fresh every morning. The meat is so good that it only needs a selection of simple condiments. His favourite is the German-style currywurst, which has currypowder and ketchup and I can personally see why!

You will be able to buy the sausage in a combo with a drink and choice of potato chips or warm pretzels.

No authentic currywurst meal is complete without a side of Curlys, a peanut snack and German favourite since 1963. Don't be fooled, this is no ordinary sausage cart!

Eli's Serious Sausage stands on the corner of Dunsmuir and Beatty by the Chinatown/Stadium skytrain entrance. 11:30am-6:00pm Monday through Friday You can also visit Eli's at various farmer's markets on the weekends. Be sure to stop by and check him out!

Cartel Taco offers up Korean style tacos. Great food and great people to meet!  Here's a pic of the tasty tacos above.

Lemon Sea sells fresh squeezed lemonade and crepes down by the beach at English Bay Park. I have yet to try them out. Looks like a good excuse for a walk on the beach soon! Any information on this vendor would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to Travis Smith for the tip! At Beach Avenue and Chilco.

Vancouver's famous Japanese Hot Dog Stand. Written up in virtually every newspaper on the continent, there's not much to say that hasn't already been said. Before the vendor pilot program began, JapaDog went against the norm and has had an undeniable impact on street food in Vancouver.

Combining the old with the new street hawkers Poke'm way- serving the simple oriental snack of BBQ meatballs with toppings that will stir your curiosity. YUM!
