The burrito was supposed to come with a side of chips, so I have a feeling...

Cafe Mexico has been a longstanding restaurant downtown Victoria. If your expecting fully authentic Mexican food its not that. It is however a solid semi authentic option. Primarily geared for tourists the menu is pricey for what it is but as its located in market square its a prime spot to eat in the downtown core and soak up the ambience and people watch. Overall 7.5/10
