Great Food - Limited Menu

Provecho is an unassuming little restaurant near downtown Vancouver. Yes, there’s a sign on the wall that says “Be Nice or Leave”. It must work as everyone there including the waitstaff was nice the day I visited.

The interior is casually decorated – there are two rooms, one with a full bar. Outside, there is a small dining area. The waitstaff do seem a little concerned about matching bodies to tables, asking two customers to move to a two seat table from the four seat table they had picked. I suspect that’s necessary as they do get crowded and there are a limited number of tables.

Provecho’s menu is fairly minimal compared to other Mexican restaurants. There are not a lot of choices but what they do serve is fresh using top notch ingredients. I wouldn’t mind if Provecho branched out a little and served, say, enchiladas.

Overall, a pleasurable dining experience and I will try them again.

Dishes I tried:

To be honest, this dish is almost a taco salad without the big tortilla “bowl”. For $7 (+$1 for guacamole on top), I was expecting something enormous. After all, how complicated can a tostada be? I wasn’t disappointed.

The tostada consisted of a fried corn tortilla with a massive amount of toppings. The meat was done perfectly and seasoned to perfection. I like the fact that they use whole beans on their tostadas instead of refried. The veggies were fresh and the guacamole was superb. I wasn’t sure I could finish it but I did.

Good vegetarian - good not vegetarian

We have eaten at this small, friendly place with the sign on the wall stating “BE NICE OR LEAVE” about a half dozen times in the past year. The food is cooked to order, imaginative, fresh and delicious. Unpretentious decor but has a table with view of parking lot for the blind and sensory deadened. We eat inside. Not a traditional south of the border place. The food really is wonderfully put together with delicate flavors, careful production of a delicious looking as well as tasting meal. I hate my food to look like leftovers scraped off others plates – as it at so many other s-o-t-b places. Nothing like that here. It looks like a CHEF prepared!! Even with carefully chopped herbs and finely diced tomatoes on top. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

“A delicious combination of both whole beans, pinto and black beans, fresh pico de gallo, jack and cheddar cheese, crispy lettuce wrapped in a 12” warm soft flour tortilla. " Took it right off the menu – because that is exactly what it was. “Warm soft flour tortilla” was actually slightly crisped but not greasy. Excellent concoction!
