TACOFINO REVIEWS
We stopped for a quick bite at Tacofino as we had already eaten and had dinner plans too. We just heard great things about the yam taco and couldn’t avoid it. It did not disappoint. The yam tempura was juicy, seasoned and delectable. The crunch from the cabbage paired with the acidity from the coleslaw really brought it all together. The tortilla was nice and grilled so the attention to detail was clear. We did have to wait a while but not cause of lack of effort. They had 4 to 5 people on the taco burrito assembly line constantly preparing orders. It was very organized and appeared clean. The staff was really friendly and we can’t wait to come back for a steak taco and/or their breakfast.
This place was on my must check out list during my trip to Victoria and it didn’t disappoint!! I had a fried fish and a steak taco and both were delicious!!! The proteins were cooked to perfection and the tacos were just enough loaded that it had flavour punch without melting the taco shell/tortillas! Super quick turnaround time! The place was a little noisy but that’s not a big deal.
A must try in Victoria! Very attentive staff but very little space to sit inside. That said, the food is outstanding. We sampled the pork burrito and fried yam tacos and they were spectacular! Highly recommended for a quick lunch.

CAFE MEXICO REVIEWS
This was my first visit to Cafe Mexico. The location and space itself are absolutely amazing and lots of fun. The bar is gorgeous, looking, and looks very well stocked. The menu is a very nice size, and the food that we did order was excellent and well portioned. Everything tasted very good and was also very well seasoned. Wait, staff was very helpful and attentive. We really didn't have to wait for anything... also the restaurant was very clean. Amazing, and thank you.
I dropped by to order take out after their cut off time for take out orders. Ari was very accommodating, helped me with choosing the dishes and the spicy sauces. Food was amazing, and it was only surpassed by the staff's service. Next time, I will try to dine in.
Very good! The food was excellent, the chips were hot, and the salsa was tasty. The service was okay, but they were trying so I won’t fault them for that. I would come back again.

LA TAQUISA REVIEWS
I usually get the 4-person family meal. But we hadn't ordered from La Taquisa in a while. Lo and behold, a container of crisp, fresh, finely shaved purple cabbage replaced the iceberg lettuce which used to come with this meal. Outstanding change! So crunchy. So good.
Had a great lunch at the Vic West location. I can always count on a delicious meal for a great price when I visit La Taquisa. Best bang-for-your-buck is the 5 taco deal. Fresh-made tortillas can’t be beat.
Fantastic tacos, especially the beef ones. Service was fast and friendly. Menu clearly labelled with what contained gluten.
