Just got 2 pork tacos made by the owner Carlos and they were the best I have had. I ate 1 right away because they were served fresh and smelt too good to resist in the car. The second I took home and heated up and it was just as delicious warmed up. I got hot sauce which I usually wouldn’t but it was the perfect touch to the pork taco, recommended by Carlos. I can’t wait to have lunch here again on the sunny patio.

Easily the worst Mexican food I’ve ever had in my life. Welcome to Shanwigan Lake, where restaurants don’t need to try and are happy to eventually go out of business. No need for a scathing review, just avoid.

Food was amazing and flavourful. It's a tiny place that really a rake-out place but does have a couple of small tables inside. They have booths outside where, weather permitting, you can enjoy the central hub of Shawnigan Lake and watch people come and go.I had a latte and the 3 taco meal. Both were delicious. It was not your standard taco but was filled with amazing flavor. Will definitely go again.Vegetarian options: I'm a vegetarian and I found they had multiple options for me to choose from. On top of that, the tacos weren't just like the meat tacos but without meat, they had amazing flavor with yummy squash filling of some sort. Really good!Dietary restrictions: Each one of us were asked about dietary restrictions and asked if dairy was OK and also if we were OK with cilantro.

Food is real Mexican food. Ask for extra hot if you want true hot though, as they didn't believe me I guess when I asked for hot. Tasted a lovely true Mexican flavour but mild. I loved seeing the vegetarian option at the top of the menu!Vegetarian options: Excellent veggie burrito.

All they have is very bland tasting tacos and burritos. They even charge you a dollar extra, for a take-out container. The menu on-line isn't accurate.
