The first thing i ate was the Paseo Shredded beef taco and i thought 100% this is the best one!!! Yumm! But then i tried the vego! Absolutely delicious too the beans and rice are wonderful and same with the Paseo pork! Im definitely going to say try this place, its great! I ate half, saving the rest for later, very filling! :)

We just started going here a few months ago but it's so good we keep going back! We usually just get tacos or burritos and they are consistently delicious. You get tortilla chips and salsa when you sit. The chips are made fresh and are still warm when you get them. The salsa tastes like it's made in house as well, it's very good! Everything that we've had tastes like it's made fresh and with good quality ingredients. There's a pretty good vegan menu too if that's what you're into. The churros and sopapilla are sooo good for dessert. The staff are really great too. The blonde waitress is really good and always remembers what we like :)

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Nanaimo. Wide variety on the menu for all tastes, and all high quality and flavorful options. Refried beans are amazing, as well as the burritos and enchiladas. Great cocktails as well, and huge selection of jarritos. My go-to for takeout or dine in mexican food.

I ordered the Classic Nachos, and they were absolutely delicious—cheesy, flavorful, and loaded with toppings. The restaurant's atmosphere is vibrant and truly gives off a fun Mexican vibe. Highly recommend!

Definitely worth a stop in Nanaimo. Chill, made fresh, bursting with flavour. They got an inside and patio, very refreshing margarita. I could tell it was liked by locals. Fresh made chips. Perfect pit stop after coming off the ferry.
