Penny's palapa is an awesome place to get a bite to eat

I Had an amazing experience here today!
The food was delicious, the service was very good and the place itself was very comfortable.
I don’t eat beans, and the staff lady who help me was kind to substitute them with a salad without any problem, I really appreciated that personal touch.
Highly recommended! If you’re looking for great Mexican food, this is definitely the place to go.

Really good food 🌮 I had the chipotle chicken tacos and they were really good 🩷 we tried couple of Mexican restaurants here in Nanaimo but this one was the best 🫶🏻

Located in Nanaimo Harbor, this seasonal restaurant enjoys a fantastic waterfront setting. When I visited in April, the weather was beautiful but still a little chilly, so I appreciated that they thoughtfully provided blankets. I tried the Hibiscus Margarita (non-alcoholic) for the first time — it was a little on the bitter side for my taste, so next time I’ll go back with the Lime Margarita. We ordered the Halibut Tacos and the layered dip, and as always, the food was fresh and delicious. A wonderful spot for a relaxed meal by the water!!

Easy recommendation for me. I had the enchiladas and they were hot and delicious. It's right on the water so it has a great view and makes for a fun seating experience, definitely bring a coat on a chilly day though! If you don't mind a little walking park at the mall since it's free. The corn that came with the enchiladas was deliciously spicy in a way that I didn't expect but fully enjoyed.

Decent prices and a great spot on the water in Nanaimo. Friendly staff and pretty well made cocktails.
Great little place to grab a bite to eat. Nice views of the water, especially as the sun sets. Will be returning!

Great location on the water. Enjoyed happy hour margaritas and martinis plus snacking on some guacamole and chips.

The food is tasty and plentiful. The service was very friendly and fast and we enjoyed sitting along the dock watching the boats. It’s a bit tucked away below street level, so if you don’t know the area, you may need to ask for directions.
