Mexican Restaurants near Nanoose Bay

“**Restaurant Review: Full Moon Rising** Full Moon Rising in Pacific Shores is an absolute gem that my husband and I frequent often, and it never disappoints. Owned by the lovely Louise, the restaurant is renowned for its incredible consistency in food quality. The beef dip stands out with its flavorful, rich jus that's full-bodied and delicious. My husband raves about the calamari, claiming it's the best he's ever had—crispy and melt-in-your-mouth, perfectly complemented by fabulous pico de gallo. The portions are generous, and the atmosphere is enhanced by spectacular views and live music on weekends, making it perfect for date nights. The service is fantastic, with knowledgeable staff and Louise always present, ensuring everything runs smoothly while radiating her warm energy. Her son, an amazing Red Seal chef who helped design the menu, adds to the culinary excellence. For reliable, satisfying dining with consistently outstanding food, drinks, and service, Full Moon Rising is my top recommendation. Don't miss out—visit before the summer rush! Enjoy!“

“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!“

“Please, never change. My wife and I have been eating here since 2005, and even though we live in Victoria now, every time we go to Nanaimo, we never wonder where we are going to have lunch.

Amazingly fresh and quality in-house made meals will keep us coming back forever. Don't forget to buy some of their signature sauce to go. It's unbeatable.“
