May Tasting Menu and full kitchen now available!!

So we have now obtained all the permits from city hall to use our full kitchen!!! We are able to expand our menu (which we already have) and now we just have to get used to using the full kitchen with a full menu, which has not been a problem for the last two busy nights. I strongly recommend you come try us out. The food is very authentic and flavourful and the drinks just get better and better (as you have one then another and another : ) We will be expanding our patio shortly for the hor summer days and the grand opening will be within a couple weeks. Stay tuned for more details and feel free to contact me for any more information or to be part of out preffered customer data base!

Salud,
Emi

Tasting Menu!!!

So after a few weeks of soft opening, we are going to drop the current tasting menu deal we have going on.... However, we will be offering a slightly bigger tasting menu for all of april on tuesdays and wednesdays.

Currently we are operating with a limited menu, This is due to us waiting on a stamp from city hall to be able to fire up the kitchen ( at the moment we are working with two electric burners and a small oven). Things have been coming along very smoothly though. The prices are great and i strongly encourage for everyone to come down and taste the real flavors of mexico!!

Renovations coming along...

Hello everyone, after a couple weeks of pouring our blood, sweat and tears into this place, we are almost there!! We have left all the serious jobs to the professionals after we sanded, painted, stripped floors, etc. Our menu is also just about finished with some unbelievably exciting items. After i tried Juan´s (our executive chef) ceviche, i had my eyes closed for the first mouthfull and genuinely thought i was gonna open them and be sitting on a beach in my old hometown. I am incredibly excited to share this food and these cocktails with all of you....

We are looking at a soft opening las week of february and Grand Opening the first weekend of March. My birthday is on March 3 and there would be no better present than finally opening the restaurant. I will keep you posted on our going ons and feel free to drop me a line with any questions or comments.

January 16th, 2008

Vancouver, BC - Tequila Kitchen owners Laura Enriquez, Emiliano (Emi) Nunez and Claudia Ibarrondo, along with Execuitive Chef Juan Gonzalez, are pleased to share with you their plans for Tequila Kitchen. Now closed for renovations as we make the transition from Mel’s Diner to Tequila Kitchen, we will be opening this March.

The menu development is well underway and will feature traditional regional Mexican cuisine - The cocktail program will be exclusively tequila based with a selection of fresh tequila cocktails. As many Mexican beer’s as we are able to bring in will be available, along with both BC and warm climate wines. Closing between lunch and dinner during the winter, summer hours will see breakfast open with the sunrise and “Botana's” served on the patio all afternoon and well into the night.

We look forward to introducing you to this fresh, flavourful cuisine. 5 - 11 pm daily
