we love the Nanaimo location and wanted to give this one a try as we were in Parksville. It did not disappoint. Great staff. The food was super flavourful and big portions. The room is so cute with its decorations. We also find the prices very reasonable. A little hard to get into if you are driving south, as you can't make a left turn and have to go past it and turn around to come back and get in. But hey, small thing that's not in their control. Now we have 2 great locations to go to.

The family wanted tacos so we stopped here to try it out. The menu was disappointing, only showing 3 ingredients for the tacos (meat+lettuce+tomato), I don’t like tomato so I got it without, thinking surely there would be more than 2 ingredients on my tacos.. right?

Wrong. They gave me chicken and lettuce and that was it, they had one sauce option which they called mild spicy, not even sure what it was. The chicken was boiled and while it was flavoured okay, it was soaking wet with water and my taco was dripping water non stop. Every bite was just a mouthful of chicken.

For Mexican food this was awful, there was NO:
Guacamole
Pickled onions
Classic taco cabbage mix, just plain sliced lettuce
Other options for sauce like a burrito sauce, salsa, Smokey chipotle, baja sauce.

My suggestions:
Give us more variety, less meat, more toppings and sauces, include cheese for free not 55 cents, put the cheese over the chicken to melt, put salsa on the top.

The food was good, the owners are legit from Mexico. It wasn't spicy at all without adding hot sauce. I'll definitely be back

More Mexican than Tex-Mex! The best entree plates in Parksville and the tacos are great. I love the service and the home made horchata. Real people making great food. Ear here!!!

After a long day we stopped here for dinner. The food was fantastic. The service was great. As annual traveller's to Mexico, we felt like we were transported to our favourite restaurant in Mexico because of the atmosphere. Highly recommend. Also price was good and portions too.

I stopped in here on the recommendation of my wife's friend.

While the food was good, I found it rather bland. Even the hot sauce didn't seem to add much to it.

That's probably on me as I could have asked for more spice.

It's probably fair to say that this place is both authentic and quite bland. We had chicken on our nachos, flautas, and tacos, and it was all the same pulled type chicken but without any sort of spices.
