Ordered 20 minutes ahead, showed up for pickup with only 2 other customers in the store (they had already gotten their food and eating so weren’t needing service) the worker looks shocked that there’s a pickup order and i have to wait 20 minutes for my food anyways.
They also said nowhere in the description of the online menu about the large handful of raw onions they would throw on my tacos (I selected no salsa and there wasn’t an option for no onions on their online ordering system) so they just aren’t listing all their items and ingredients in the food, really disappointed I’ve been waiting with excitement to try this place for like 6 months

Being Mexican myself, I am always looking to eat Mexican food. This was the first time I have ever entered a restaurant outside of Mexico where I could perceive the smell of an authentic Mexican kitchen, it was as if I was transported back home. The sopa de tortilla and the chicken tinga sope were amazing. I will keep coming back to taste the whole menu. Thank you for bringing authentic Mexican flavors to BC!

This was my first time visiting the restaurant and I originally just expected to grab some Mexican food—but what I ended up having was a genuinely awesome customer experience. The gentleman at the counter was incredibly helpful when I had questions (since I’d never been in before) and took the time to ask how my day was going, which really stood out. While I was eating my burrito— which, by the way, was absolutely delicious—he even came by to offer me a plate and check in on me. The service went above and beyond, and I was genuinely impressed. Big shout out to the staff for making my first visit so memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I'm happy ordering from this location but the last couple times I've gone the cauliflower tacos have been cold/lukewarm in the middle.

There was a bug in my food and all they said was “could you please pass me your water?” As I returned my tray. Bug or not, the tacos weren’t very good. Go to Tacofino or something instead.

Gorgeous place, professional staff, polite and friendly! ... Good food! Highly recommend.
GOAT for Mexican food in Victoria, consistently excellent. Points for no rice in the burritos - other places that use it as filler disappoint me. The entire menu slaps, but the the pork chorizo and chicken tinga are in a league of their own.
Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options, try the rajas or the veggie chorizo! They make a fantastic adobo sauce.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free marked on the menu where needed but most of the food is naturally GF. Tacos are served in soft corn tortillas, and you can order a burrito plate to ditch the flour tortilla! Great portion for the price. Veggie and vegan available and clearly marked on the menu.
Parking: Upper parking lot is tight and often busy, but there's always space in the garage under the grocery store.
Kid-friendliness: Friendly staff and great choices for kids - tacos, quesadillas, gringas, sopes, chips and salsa/guac... all good!
Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is at ground level and entirely flat.

Sadly prices have gotten much too high to warrant a 5 star review any longer. $4-$4.50 per taco is too steep. Was great when you got 5 for $10. Regrettably rarely go here any longer for this reason.

It's a small space with counter seating...on nice days they have had dining space outside, but not much.

Tacos are amazing!!!! 🤤 SUPER friendly staff, fast service, and delicious food.
I had tacos, and my partner had the burrito. It was so BIG he almost couldn't finish it.
Great spot for fresh good tasty Mexican food !
