Advice: They offer takeout but they don’t have takeout menus, ask the owner for a menu. Complimentary bowl of tortilla chips are served with a red and green salsa.

Tortilla Chips and Salsas

Mole Chicken Enchiladas

Walking into El Centro transports me back to Mexico, with its terra cotta walls and latino music playing in the background. This would be a great place to go with a group of friends after work or after shopping on Robson. Try one of their Tequila cocktails and then order some of their specialties to share or enjoy on your own. I dined solo and enjoyed the great food along with an authentic Mexican ambience. I had the Mole Enchiladas ($13) enchiladas filled with chicken, smothered with mole, served with rice and tasty black beans. The menu offers up many Mexican favourites, some other selections that you may want to try includes the Quesadillas, Chilaquila, Burritos, Enchiladas with green sauce or the Mole Chicken. For dessert they have the famous Churros (Mexican version of the donut).
