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!

Cute restaurant located in a cute neighbourhood. I enjoyed the outdoor patio and the service was great! The menu is quite small; choosing between either tacos or a burrito/bowl while adding their rotating filling.
Everything was good but it was a little underwhelming. The dishes are quite mild of not nonexistent in spices for our dishes. The salsa and chips were nice but nothing you couldn't make at home. I did really enjoy the ambience and would still recommend trying this place out!

The ambience is nice but the food was the worst meal I've had in a long time. This is not an overstatement, there was no love or seasoning put into the food. Big disappointment.
Tasteless and cold food. Both the burrito and rice bowl had no flavor

The Grilled Corn Ribs were amazing... however the rest of our food was fairly bland. We had the chicken tacos and the pork bowl, just needed more acidity, salt, heat, maybe some corn kernels for sweetness, just more flavour.

We wanted to like this place, it looks like you will be getting authentic Mexican food, but unfortunately, it fell short in several areas. The best thing about it was the location.We ordered chips and queso, but they never arrived. I didn’t pay, so I’m not sure if we were charged or not.The meals were uninspired, lacked seasoning, and arrived lukewarm, which was quite unsettling. My mole dish tasted like the chicken had been boiled a day or two earlier; it was dry, chewy, and unappetizing. I even joked that I might get food poisoning from it.Surprisingly, I didn't get sick, but my stomach is doing summersaults. Unfortunately, my wife has been ill all night and into the morning. She did have two drinks, so we can’t be certain it was the food, however our friend who ordered the same dish also feels horrible and queasy. We can't say for certain its the food if I were a betting person, id say its the food.Given this experience, we won’t be returning anytime soon to test the theory.
