9 Best Mexican Restaurants in Nanaimo

“First time having a bar burrito. It was excellent, good value for your money. Very friendly staff. I will be back!“

“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!“

“Feeling blue? Bar Luna has the answer to all your woes, with tacos and handhelds of the food in a blanket variety, I had the al pastor pork tacos with their spiciest offerings of in house hot sauce (hot enough to melt the tastebuds right off your tongue!) washed down with the Blue Island Iced Tea (with edible candied orange slice!) The perfect spot, nestled away in the quiet corners of Nanaimo BC 10/10 would recommend to anyone in the area, looking for a classy, comfortable, warm and inviting environment with all the tasty tacos and fixings for a spice aficionado like myself!“

“Penny’s Palapa accommodated our big group on the May long weekend. Not only was our server friendly and efficient, the portions were big and the food came out quick. The rain was a bummer but with heaters and the Mexican atmosphere we barely noticed. Thank you!“

“The restaurant also offers incredibly delicious dishes — every plate we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was impressively fast, and we didn’t have to wait long at all. I truly appreciate the whole team for such a great experience. I will definitely come back. Thank you all!“

“Arrived at 2 so had options from the regular and happy hour menu. The street corn dip was fantastic. Combo plates included enchiladas and our favourite dish - Chile Rellenos. Great staff, funky atmosphere and amazing food. Can't wait to come back!“

“I love the burito bowl here. I was recently introduced to felafel by Domma who is one of the staff here. As a fast-mexican food chain it has a good range of options and my second best is the burito.

The staff here is good and enthusiastic. I would like to mention Domma who always takes the initiative to have a conversation and always keeps a smile and recommends options if asked for specific food choices; for me its substitute for veggies or sauce as I'm a vegetarian.

Overall my experience is pleasant here.“

“Ordered a veggie wrap for pick up today at Delicados North location. As always, my wrap was warm, bursting with wonderful veggies and massive hunks of avocado. Very fresh and delicious, and such a great healthy alternative to picking up fast food when you’re hungry and on a time crunch. It was just enough for my empty belly with the perfect amount of heat. Delicados is one of my all-time local Nanaimo favourites. Delicious!“

“Delicious, great find in Nanaimo“
