Great service. Lovely guy who accommodated our request to have 2 different types of tacos in 1 portion. The tacos tasted really fresh and unlike every other taco I’ve had didn’t fall apart! Apologies also - I ended up leaving a 1 cent tip due to my unfamiliarity with the tipping format on card payment and had no cash. It was definitely worth more than that. Thanks.

I'm not big on seafood, so finding an open alternative to seafood on the wharf on a random weekday during non-peak season was a bit of a challenge. This place basically ended up being the only real food option aside from dessert spots. I ordered barbacoa tacos and they were actually very good! I'm from Los Angeles, so I was a little hesitant to order Tacos because I didn't want to be disappointed, but I couldn't have been more wrong. They were very flavorful and the tacos were stuffed full of meat, topped with onion and cilantro with a spicy red chili salsa on the side. The service was great too, they were very friendly and my order was ready promptly. Definitely a good option while waiting for a tour.

The tacos with beans were just tortillas with a dallop of beans. $19 for this is a joke

It wasn't busy. This is located within the courtyard of Uptown. Lots of people walking, kids playing, water fountain nearby to cool down on those hot summer days. I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos. It tastes like genuine Mexican tacos and tortillas. The steak tastes good well done, even better with hot sauce. It says on the menu its on large tortilla tacos but I guess its a relative word. Looks small to me. A little on the expensive side for this reason $16 and change for three tacos. Most items on the menu is approaching the $20 price. There's plenty of patio chairs outside. This is more like a permanent stall rather than a full restaurant. Parking for the whole plaza is underground and it's free.

The warf is a cute spot to stop with multiple choices of places to eat. Great if you have a family who all want something different. Imagine food truck lot but floating. Pretty cool! Outdoor seating. You are one with the elements, so plan accordingly. I grabbed baja fish tacos and mango salmon tacos. Two of us got the two each and split them so we could taste both and it was a perfect amount.

Probably the worst fish tacos I had ever. Totally bland. No Salt. No lime. Barely any sauce. Dry and almost inedible (but we were hungry). Don't take their chips and "salsa". It's not salsa. It's pico de Gallo. When we asked for salsa or hot sauce, we were told we had to pay for it. A tourist trap to avoid at all cost

Very good welcoming service, but they forget some things, like spiciness customizations, dips; it’s understandable because they’re really busy but I’d advise to double check your order verbally before you walk. The best was ceviche for me, tacos are absolutely delicious but I have also had better. These tacos are saucy if you ask for it, which I like and soft shells. Jumbo butter prawns were amazing, but the accompanying rice was a little underwhelming. Altogether, a 3.5-3.8 star dining experience. It is definitely great to try once in a while, but I wouldn’t be a regular here.

This is a nice little Mexican restaurant with a beautiful view at Victoria’s Fisherman’s Wharf. I had the Baja Fish tacos, which were cooked perfectly with a nice salsa in a soft corn tortilla. I also ordered a glass of merlot that was surprisingly good for a house wine.

The fish tacos were as plain as they can get. Fish on top of some cabbage with almos no flavor. The atmosphere is great so i gave it 2 stars but the food was expensive and no flavor

This is the best Tacos I have had in Canada. I am a tourist in Victoria. I love Seafoods and I believe Victoria has good seafood dishes. Then I went to Fisherman's wharf. Then I tried Puerto Vallarta Amigos. I ordered Salmon Mango Tacos and they were delicious. Salmon was big. Mexican restaurants in Toronto rarely give us such a big piece of fish! It is amazing. Staff are friendly and kind. I would love to come back when I come to Victoria again.
PROS: -Friendly and efficient service -Very fresh and tasty food CONS: -None OVERAL IMPRESSION I have not been to a food truck in many years. I enjoyed it. This food truck is located at the back of the Royal Museum, Victoria BC and is not listed on Google Maps.

This place had very good food. I'm only going with four stars instead of five because the other day they closed early and told me they ran out of food. We went back and got the salmon mango tacos along with the Baja fish tacos. Both dishes were good. It was a little pricey but what do you expect right on the wharf? Overall a good experience.

Diablo prawns had a nice spice! Fish tacos above average. They have a covered patio so you can enjoy your food even if it's cooler or wet out no problemo.

By far the best Mexican food on the island! We always have to stop here when we are in Victoria. Now if only they had a restaurant in Chemainus. :)

I was very excited to try this restaurant, but I was very disappointed. I ordered the baja tacos, no seasoning to the fish, it was plain. The fish pieces on the tacos were very small, they put dry cabbage with under the fish. I ordered guacamole but they didn’t have it available, so I ordered pico de gallo. Good thing I did because, I added it to my tacos for then to taste like something.I ordered the chicken quesadilla for my dad. It was soggy and watery.I went to grab my drink in the fountain machine: NO ICE. My pop was lukewarm it was disgusting.Two good things about the place: the server was very nice. They had a very cool set up to keep you warm while you eat. ?? we appreciated that as it was a bit chilly.
