The service was kind and fast. This place warms my heart so go here if you're craving Hispanic food. The chorizo taco was mediocre, go for the fried fish instead, or if you're there before 2pm take the Burris pork special. Otherwise you can buy premade meals to go.

I grabbed the chicken empanadas and there was almost no filling in them whatsoever and the taste was very very bland, not at what I was expecting or used to, the only good thing was the side salad.

It was with great…read moreexcitement I learned they were opening up at Commonwealth Rec. it is with great joy that I report out that their keto tacos are excellent. The shell is made of melted cheese, the vegetables are fresh and crisp. So often keto options feel like a lesser choice, but not here. I had two pulled pork tacos and while I got a slice of the keto chocolate Cale for dessert, I didn't have space for it. This was fine, as it made for a lovely bit of sweet this evening. I hope that they expand their hours (M-F 10-2 & SS 10-4), and I would love to have this for an option during the week. That said I am thrilled to have a restaurant in Victoria making specific keto dishes, rather than my having to ask for a bunch of things to be left off. Thank you Kattia for making my life a little easier.

The burrito on a wheat tortilla tasted terrible and lacked flavor. When the waitress brought out the tater tots she said, "the tater tots are very hot." Yet, I had no fork to eat then with. In fact I had no utensils. Tater tots were good... but very small amount for the price.

Not only was the food delicious, but the service was also incredibly fast and efficient. You order and pay at the cashier, and then once your food is ready, the staff brings it out to your table. Good ambiance as well. We came around lunch time so it was quite busy and they have a number of tables inside and have a patio outside weather permitting.

I sure don't know who the folks are that lavish praise here because our experience certainly fell short of those kudos. To be fair, the wait time was tolerable and service was ok. But that's where our kudos end. It all then comes down to the food offering! Everything starts with a cup of joe, and the beverage they served was bitter and terrible (hello, Starbucks). We then changed to decaf, and unfortunately that tasted of residual pot cleaner with a hint of some form of coffee. Egad. Aside from its mediocre taste, the main dish was also a disappointment: the so-called Traditional Benny with .95 cent shredded potato option. Found it difficult to cut then chew through the muffin base, and the few bacon hunks that were hiding just under the egg and hollandaise sauce were as tough as genuine shoe leather. To add 'insult to injury', the shredded potatoes lacked any sort of taste (other than chopped straw) -- typical of inexpensive (reheated) frozen side-foods. To top it all off, while paying the bill they scattered a few hunks of packaged bubble gum onto the table. Meh, that was barely edible too. I think we were at our table for maybe 1/2 hour and could hardly wait to leave. At $50+ for barely edible food, we can't see ourselves returning to five and dime.

My now husband since we met has been trying to take me to mexican restaurants on the island and it has been a disaster. So far none was not near my liking, or remote approval... until now. The restaurant is run by a mexican (which in my eyes makes a huge difference because he knows what real mexican food tastes like, not the horrible tex-mex they try to sell as mexican food (and I had never tried until I moved to Canada)). Even when lot of ingredients will never be found in Canada (due the different type of regulations plus the way food is grown and process here) this has been the closest I had felt as home in a very long time. I had the enchiladas, and they started bringing us a very tasty barbacoa type of soup (courtesy of the house). And they even offer to bring is more lime if it didn't have enough (if you are mexican, you know you need your lime for soups). After that they brought me mu enchiladas which have a really good size. They were green with cheese (just like I like them). Super tasty to the point I was eating them with a spoon. For drink they even have Jarritos, which are traditional mexican pop (and also brings me childhood memories, since the factory is not that far away from my parents house). Also they have Aguas frescas (fresh water) of Horchata (which is made of rice flour and cinnamon, super yummy) and Jamaica (which is a flower and it is quite refreshing) Staff was super friendly and inside and outside the restaurant is really nice. Sad to see people giving low reviews due business issues but not for the food itself. ‍ Personally this is one of the few restaurants on the island that I could say it is real mexican food. (The rest ... I rather eat sushi) You make your own decision.
