The best Mexican restaurants in Kamloops

Who doesn’t love Mexican food? Between the engaging flavours, crunchy vegetables and assortment of spices, there’s a reason why the cuisine is universally adored.

There’s nothing better than an authentic, handmade tortilla topped off with fresh salsa and all of the fixings with a side of guacamole and warm tortilla chips, especially when it’s prepared by the experts.


If you’re looking for the real deal when it comes to Mexican restaurants in town, check out this year's Best of Kamloops winners, as voted by you and brought to you by Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union.
