A performance venue and cocktail bar project is taking shape in the space attached to Havana...

Though Tangent Cafe has passed through several changes in ownership since the restaurant opened at 2095 Commercial nearly a decade ago, the constant has always been down-to-earth comfort food - and the name. Co-owners Juval Lerner and Valentin Chassagnol, with Head Chef Kevin Desjardins, decided it was time for a change.

This Wednesday, June 21st, there are many ways to come together and celebrate the contributions, history and cultures of First Nations, Inuit, and Metis communities - including hitting The Drive to fill up on Bannock Tacos!

The restaurant's design follows the casual and colourful, Mexican-inspired aesthetic of its former Davie Street location, but with a slightly bolder and, dare I say, 'elevated' atmosphere. Don't worry, though: Chancho remains 'Chancho' - and with 20-30 more seats, there is simply more of it to enjoy!

Though the signage has switched-up and the branding looks different, the menu and motivations of The Burrow (formerly Bandidas Taqueria) remain consistent: to serve up nourishing, Mexican-inspired vegetarian and vegan fare, with a side of activism and an eye to affordability, community and sustainability.

The rumours are true! If you're as amped about this news as we (and no doubt countless others) are, then showing up as early, hungry and patient as possible is highly recommended.

Commercial Drive will soon be getting a taste of Chancho Tortilleria, the popular Mexican restaurant that has been making some of Vancouver's best tacos out of Yaletown since 2017...
