About Cilantro & Jalapeño
Cilantro & Jalapeño serves authentic homemade Mexican takeout and specialty Latin grocery items at 123 Carrie Cates Court in Lower Lonsdale.
Grabbing lunch near the Quay often means choosing between chains or waiting for a table, but this spot at 123 Carrie Cates Court offers a genuine alternative for North Vancouver locals. Cilantro & Jalapeño focuses on authentic homemade Mexican foods made fresh daily, functioning more like a market counter than a standard fast food joint. The menu is complemented by hard-to-find specialty items, including Mexican candy and Latin grocery staples, which makes it a practical pantry stop as well as a place to pick up a burrito. It feels distinctly connected to the waterfront rhythm, serving commuters and market shoppers with equal efficiency without sacrificing the specific flavours that define real Mexican takeout.
Operating from 9 am to 6 pm, the hours align perfectly with daytime needs rather than late-night cravings. You can call ahead to order or rely on delivery services like SkipTheDishes, Uber Eats, and DoorDash when the weather turns typically damp and you would rather stay dry. This compact setup adds necessary variety to Lower Lonsdale, providing a saucy, handheld option amidst the usual pizza and coffee shops. For those heading back toward Central Lonsdale or Lynn Valley after a walk along the seawall, it serves as a reliable source of both dinner and unique ingredients for home cooking.
Hours can change, so check with the business before you set out.
