Gringo is tucked into cobblestoned Blood Alley Square in Gastown, where the cocktails arrive in brightly coloured sand buckets with actual plastic shovels and nobody keeps a straight face for long. The Mexi-Cali kitchen is the genuine draw: its double-crunch taco has reached menu-legend status. Order the bucket, use the shovel with total sincerity, and stay until the 2am close on weekends.
