We had dinner last evening, the food was delicious and savoury. Presentation appetizing. We had the classic margaritas, it was so delicious I decided to have two!! The serves was friendly, connected to their customers, I didn’t see any staff paying more attention to their cell phone then the paying customers! The service was above and beyond excellent it and food will bring me back again and again.

We were at Fernfest last weekend, on the Mesa patio. We all ordered fish tacos. Honestly the best fish tacos outside of Mexico, and stuffed with red snapper and salsa. Delicious! Please make them again.
The server was amazingly friendly. Definitely be back for more and MOLE too!

Be advised, this is not "authentic/legit" Mexican cuisine, If you eat there you might get a wrong idea of what Mexican food is...
The experience was ok, so much room for improvement.

Best Mexican in Victoria - both typical dishes like tacos and burritos but also my favourite the chicken mole enmolada. Happy hour margaritas and palomas too.

Two of us had dinner here and enjoyed it. Very large portions and good flavors. The chicken mole enchiladas were spicy but not overwhelmingly. Very rich. The corn and zucchini enchiladas were in a creamy Verde sauce which was really delicious. We shared both plates and the two were quite different and paired well. I love it when the flavors are unique from dish to dish - not just same sauce, different filling.

Both plates came loaded with black beans and rice as well. The beans were underwhelming - just filler. I wish instead it had been a smaller portion of tasty refried beans.

Vegetarian options: Excellent corn and zucchini enchiladas - very tasty.

Ordered enchiladas and chips + salsa on uber eats. Enchiladas is 22.5 for three small pieces with some beans and rice. Salsa and chips are each a small box of generic supermarket stuff for $8. Both are bland, dry, lukewarm and not fully closed in their packages.

Got sick with diarrhea for two days after eating.

Tips To Level up In Life

Little disappointed. Saw the photos
Online and what I got
Was the opposite. Photos online show a nice presentation, I don’t get that. I got a bag of
Store bought chips with ultra mild
Tomatoe sauce.

Chips and salsa: chips are store bought , not homemade , no sour cream, no cheese , no impression of giving a crap.

Salsa was ultra mild
Tomatoe sauce. No cilantro , pico, jalapeño . Pretty much $1 worth of food total rip off.

$6+

Had the enchiladas too, lacking flavor and depth. Just bland and basic. I want something that wows me. Total bill was $30 still hungry.

Called
In to give tips about making homemade chips and salsa and owner said “ we don’t have deep fryer.”

Was very arugmeneitive and I didn’t like that contacted Uber and got it refunded. He said Uber takes 30% , and was complaining about other things… while
I just
Paid $30
For a $10 meal.

I tried to help , but the owner knows it all.

We came during the evening and sat on the patio. It's nice they allow dogs and even bring out water for them, how thoughtful. The food was amazing, once it finally arrived. I ordered 3 fish tacos. I would have ordered more, but I was going to save some space for dessert. My partner got a burrito, and it looked incredible. I wanted to try a dessert, but unfortunately, our waitress didn't return to our table after food service. Our waters were not refilled either. We were sitting outside and looked in. It seemed she was busy talking to bar staff. It's unfortunate. The next time we saw her, she brought the bill. Missed opportunity. I think we'll come back during the day and try again with different wait staff.

It's a cute and chill place in Fernwood. Both the beef tacos and chicken enchilada were good, but they were definitely better with hot sauce, so don't forget to ask for them!
