Inspection summary

Los Guerreros Mexican Food Products has been inspected 16 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since September 29, 2015. The most recent inspection, on June 10, 2026, found no infractions.

4 of 16 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 4 inspections with 7 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Handwashing and staff hygiene and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on December 1, 2025. For example: All equipment, food contact surfaces, utensils, dishes & glasses used on the premises are washed and sanitized in a manner that removes contamination.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 1, 2025. For example: Each employee demonstrates good personal hygiene and washes their hands as often as necessary to prevent the contamination of food.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 1, 2026. For example: Potentially hazardous food is at a refrigerated temperature that keeps it safe to eat.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on October 10, 2023. For example: Food is handled in a sanitary manner and is not subject to contamination.

  • PestsHigher risk

    Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on November 3, 2021. For example: The premises is free of pests.

    Heard about this place from a friend. They sell an assortment of Latin American products including detergent ! But we came here to try the empanada and the sandwich. The sandwich was very good and the empanada was tasty. No photo of the empanada. The only downside is the parking. Since Kingsway is a busy street.

    Los Guerreros Latin Foods is a gem on Kingsway. The quality is consistently great, and the prices are very fair for what you get. The woman in the back makes incredible food—especially the tortas, tacos, and churros which are packed with authentic flavor and prepared with care! They also stock everything you need to put together a proper Latin meal that actually tastes like home. Solid spot with real consistency. Highly recommend! (If you are driving there’s pay parking limited availability up front - there’s a bank and Safeway near-by for easier parking).

    Los Guerrerros Latin American Heritage Month (Granville Island) During this visit, the venue was notably busy due to the seasonal market, contributing to a lively and energetic environment. Pupusas A thick corn masa tortilla filled with cheese, beans, and pork, served with curtido (pickled cabbage slaw) and salsa. The flavor profile is warm and savory, and the filling is well-balanced. However, the salsa was a bit runny, which slightly compromised the texture and presentation of the dish. 7/10 Christmas Hot Chocolate with Tamal and Concha This trio is the highlight of the menu. The hot chocolate is rich, lightly spiced, and comforting — perfect for the winter setting. The tamal is tender and flavorful, while the concha has a pleasant sweetness and soft crumb. Together, they create a cohesive and satisfying holiday treat. 9/10 Christmas Chicken Tamales The chicken tamales are well-executed, with moist masa and a savory filling that has depth and warmth. A simple dish done with care. 9/10 Michelaguas Horchata A festive twist on traditional horchata creamy ground rice milk infused with cinnamon and topped playfully with cookies and candies. The presentation can be a bit messy, but the flavor is indulgent and nostalgic. 8/10 Churros with Chocolate While enjoyable, the churros lacked the warmth and crispness that typically elevate this dessert. The chocolate sauce was mild and did not contribute much richness. 6/10 Service Despite the long queues and high volume of customers, service was warm and polite. The staff remained friendly and efficient, which added positively to the experience. 8/10 Price Pricing leans on the higher end, particularly for beverages such as the horchata. However, given the location and seasonal event setting, the cost is understandable. Overall Verdict Los Guerreros delivers a selection of festive Latin comfort dishes with a few standout offerings, particularly the hot chocolate and tamales, which are both flavorful and satisfying. While some items fell slightly short in execution, the overall experience is enjoyable.
