La Casita – Gastown

Nice and quiet during this early evening 🙂 We chose our own seat by the window, and  our server was a friendly guy, who was very patient as we looked over the menu.  After we had ordered our two entrees, we were brought fresh homemade chips and salsa.  🙂

A welcoming atmosphere awaited a whole crowd of post-game Happy Canuck fans.  We were glad we decided to dine early to avoid the big rush of hungry folks.

Here is a dining special. And considering the HUGE portion of food with a beer, $11 is a great deal!

I had a small flauta meal, made with potato and feta cheese, topped with green salsa – DELICIOUS and very filling!  Very reasonably priced also

My dinner companion had a burito on its own. It came drenched in cheese! Supremely filling and tasty – he remarked! 🙂

 Our bill was very reasonable, and our waiter was always very attentive throughout our dinner.

The surprising finish of our meal, was the chalkboard sign encouraging everyone to stop and have lunch tomorrow, after shopping at the Army and Navy Legendary Shoe Sale which begins at 8 A.M. – It’s nice to see the neighborly feel of our area 🙂

All in all, it was a great meal for a reasonable price on a beautiful spring evening in Vancouver’s Gastown area 🙂

A car accident occured right at the corner of Main and Cordova in Vancouver Downtown Eastside (DTES) Luckily, because of the proximity of the accident to the stations, the Vancouver Police Dept, Ambulance and Vancouver Fire Fighters Dept only had to go a 1/4 of a block  to quickly help the accident victim.
