Pokerrito Goes International: First Store Opens in Mexico City
Pokerrito, Vancouver’s beloved poke bowl and sushi burrito brand, has officially crossed borders. In February 2026, Pokerrito opened its first-ever international location in Mexico City, marking a major milestone in the brand’s journey from a single storefront in Vancouver to a growing global presence.
From Vancouver to Mexico City: A Decade in the Making
Founded in 2016, Pokerrito started with a simple idea: bring together the fresh, vibrant flavours of Hawaiian poke with the portability and fun of a sushi burrito, all with a Pan-Asian fusion twist. What began as a local favourite in Vancouver quickly grew into one of British Columbia’s most recognized healthy fast-casual brands, with multiple locations across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and Coquitlam.
Now, nearly a decade later, that same energy has landed in one of the world’s most exciting food cities. The new Pokerrito Mexico City location is situated at Avenida Prado Norte 314 in the upscale Lomas de Chapultepec neighbourhood, one of the city’s most sought-after dining destinations.
Why Mexico City?
Mexico City’s food scene is legendary, and its appetite for global flavours continues to grow. The city’s vibrant culinary culture made it an ideal match for Pokerrito’s brand of fresh, customizable, and flavour-forward dining. Through a master franchise partnership, Pokerrito found the right local partner to bring the brand’s signature experience to Mexican consumers.
The decision to expand internationally through Mexico also ties back to the brand’s DNA. The Pokerrito name itself is a fusion: “Poke” from Hawaiian tradition and “rrito” inspired by the burrito, a nod to Latin American cuisine. Opening in Mexico City feels like a natural homecoming for half of the brand’s identity.
What to Expect at Pokerrito Mexico City
The Mexico City location brings the full Pokerrito experience that fans in Canada know and love. Guests can build their own bowls and pokerritos with fresh, high-quality proteins, vibrant toppings, and signature sauces. Fan favourites like the Waikiki Bowl, known for its layered textures and perfectly balanced flavours, are on the menu alongside classic poke bowls and warm options.
The store also features Pokerrito’s Korean-inspired twist, with marinated proteins like Miso Glazed Salmon and unique flavour combinations that set it apart from other poke restaurants. For those who prefer delivery, Pokerrito Mexico City is available on Uber Eats, making it easy to enjoy fresh bowls at home. One more thing locals will love: the Lomas de Chapultepec location is pet-friendly, so you can bring your furry friend along for the ride.
A Growing Global Brand
The Mexico City opening is just the beginning of Pokerrito’s international ambitions. With locations already operating across British Columbia and new stores opening soon in Toronto, including a flagship at 145 King Street West and a Commerce Court location, Pokerrito is building momentum on multiple fronts.
From its roots as a single Vancouver restaurant to a brand with locations spanning Canada and now Mexico, Pokerrito continues to prove that fresh, customizable, and responsibly sourced food resonates with diners everywhere. The company’s commitment to sustainability and community remains at the heart of every bowl served.
