Deeply at home in East Van (the same people are behind Les Faux Bourgeois down the street; the place is named for the eastward migration of crows across the city), Los Cuervos takes its inspiration directly from Mexico City. The chef lived there for five years and his tight but delicious menu highlights this. Turn to their drinks list for margaritas, yes, but also tequila-forward cocktails like the Suero, made with sage tea, agave, soda, lime and tequila. A perfect pairing for tacos.
