On their website eatoeb.com you can check the wait time and add your name to the waitlist before heading down. I'd give it a 4/5 star rating whereas Gord's rating is 3/5.

Great place for truly authentic tacos, quesadillas, beer and margaritas! A really unique ordering system - you order from a touch screen and the food comes out on the cutest little conveyor belt I’ve ever seen! It’s sort of a cross between a fast food takeout restaurant and a dine in restaurant. An extra bonus: it’s the most sparkling clean little restaurant I’ve ever been in!

Sightseeing
If the weather is good, this would be my No.1 pick to really see the city. Starting from Canada Place you can walk or ride around Stanley Park, go along English Bay to Science World then around False Creek to Granville Island and on to Vanier Park. This would be a very full day to do it all by bike, and way too much to do on foot, particularly as there is so much to stop and see along the way. Pick the section that most interests you and if you're not sure, I'd be happy to help out. If you had only 1 day to see Vancouver, this is what I would recommend as it really gives you the flavour of the city - provided that the weather is good!

Squamish/Whistler
North Vancouver is the perfect jumping off place to visit these nearby areas!
Squamish is rapidly developing, picturesque town at the head of Howe Sound. It used to be just the place we stopped for gas and maybe a McDonald's cone on the way to Whistler. Now it is a destination in it's own right. The old downtown strip provides many interesting little stores and coffee shops. The greater Squamish area boasts many large stores, hotels and residential areas. There is a golfing, rafting and rock climbing - not for the faint of heart! It is about a 45 min drive from our house - and the drive is SPECTACULAR!

The actual address is 38129 Second Ave., Squamish. We found this little gem quite by accident! It is a block off the main street in downtown Squamish and does not look like the picture above. It was a most fortunate find! The ice-cream cones are made in a machine imported from New Zealand which mixes fruit with plain ice-cream and comes out as a swirl cone. Delicious - and I can even feel good about getting my fruit serving in! As a bonus - there is a little patio out front where you can sit and enjoy your treat.
