8 Best Mexican Restaurants in Nanaimo

“Such a great little place for authentic mexican cuisine. Having visited Mexico before, I really wanted some chilaquiles and they were amazing! It's quite a laid-back place, they take your order at your table, but just come by to bring food/drinks then you get up to pay at a till on your way out.“

“First time going to Luna. The service was wonderful and the food was incredible. I ordered the two tacos and chips and salsa. I had one Raja (vegetarian) and Rock Cod. Both were yummy but the Raja was my favourite.My friend had the churro fries and loved them.Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options which were absolutely my favorite. I'm not vegetarian but I often like trying different items off the menu.Dietary restrictions: I am celiac and had no worries when ordering off the menu. Everything was very clearly labeled and I felt very comfortable.“

“I last went here shortly after it opened, and before I moved to the mainland. I came back today and the food was phenomenal! They've really settled into their place in the community, I'm glad to see they are still open and the food was delicious!“

“just wow from start to finish. the manager was a very polite sales women from when we walked into the door to when we left. the staff were friendly and fast. they made my tummy growl when I watched them create my tacos. it was so delicious and filling. I'll be back“

“Short day trip to Nanaimo and was recommended to stop here to grab a quick lunch. Everything was really good. The server was super kind and friendly. The food was amazing too. We got the ceviche, chips and salsa, and chicken enchiladas (red sauce). We also got some iced teas to beat the heat. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Would absolutely visit again in the future when in town!“

“Stop! It's Taco Time.I love Mexican and quick food. So I adore this place. Combinaing some of my favorite things is an easy win in my books.Food is not top tier quality but the flavors and quantity is there for what you pay. Some of their items hit stronger than others. I'm a big fan of the burritos and tacos but not so much for much of the queso dusted items. Prefer more substantial cheese.I've been very impressed with the staff here. Always friendly and willing to help. I approve of their service every time I'm there. Only had one minor incident that I wanted to go and wasn't asked for option and was giving a dine in. This was easily amended but a notable nitpickOf course the seating is based on the mall and high variance to availability and cleanliness so I won't expound here.Overall, my favorite Taco Bell alternative with staff that demonstrate care.“

“If you’re not familiar, this is essentially a Mexican food version of Subway, where you can customize your own burrito/taco rather than sub sandwich. The serving size is absolutely huge. I’m a big guy who can pack it away and I have a hard time finishing a large burrito. My wife usually has a fish taco salad and loves it. This location is licenced so you can get a Corona with your meal for the full Mexican experience.“
