What happened after You Gotta Eat Here!?

La Mezcaleria was the Vancouver stop in the 2015-06-05 episode of You Gotta Eat Here! (season 4, episode 19); TheTVDB's listing describes a Mexican eatery with a large celebration of fresh food. OpenTable's listing describes a casual Mexican restaurant at 1622 Commercial Drive serving tacos and queso fundido, sourcing ingredients locally and offering ocean-friendly seafood alongside a long list of mezcals, tequilas and regional cocktails. That listing shows its newest dated reviews from 2014 and notes the restaurant is not on OpenTable's booking network. The restaurant's own website, checked on 2026-10-20, listed dinner-focused weekday hours, longer weekend hours, Uber Eats and DoorDash ordering links, gift cards, catering and events pages, and a patio partnership; its cocktail menu link was labeled 2025. Google Maps data used for this entry lists the restaurant as operational.
