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...
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.

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.
