Los Guerreros Latin Foods

If a recipe calls for tomatillos, masa harina or a particular dried chile and the supermarket shrugs, this is where Langley goes.

Los Guerreros started as a Latin American grocery on Kingsway in Vancouver. Langley was its first store outside the city, and there’s now a third in Delta. It’s still a family business. When The Tyee profiled it in 2020, the Fraser Highway shop had already been here about seven years, keeping familiar food on the shelves for Langley’s Latin American families and for agricultural workers in the area.

What to look for

• Corn tortillas in several sizes. The 60-pack of taqueria tortillas is $5.49.
• Masa harina, dried chiles, achiote and spices
• Sauces: mole, chimichurri, ají amarillo and more
• Fresh produce like tomatillos, plantains and nopales
• Mexican and Latin American snacks, candy and drinks
• Prepared food to take home, including tamales and pupusas

Reviewers like being able to get everything for a proper taco night in one stop, and plenty of them come back for the tacos and other takeaway dishes too.

Hours and ordering

It’s open every day from 11: until 8 Monday to Saturday, and until 7 on Sunday. You can browse the catalogue and order for Langley pickup from their Langley page.
