“ Authentic Mexican food, like for real. I had a giant burrito with Beef Al Pastor. The meat was so soft and tasty, combined with marvelous beans and cheese that are nothing like you would ever experience at a Tex-Mex Americanized place. Now the salsa, oh boy the green salsa, savory salsa made just right to be flavourful while still mild. I combined that with some sour cream, perfect match for me. I could eat a whole meal of just chips with this. A friend of mine ordered their small quesadillas and they looked just as good, I can't wait to try some next time. ”
“ We ordered tacos, a burrito, a quesadilla, and chips & salsa. Everything tastes fresh and perfectly delightful for a hot summer day. I especially enjoyed their medium salsa for its smokiness ”
“ This is the place to go if you want delicious Mexican food! Excellent every time we go, I recommend the chicken mole burrito. Lots of spice levels and flavour profiles to choose from if you like a lot or a little. The staff is absolutely great - friendly, helpful and patient. Nice indoor eating space, but options to sit outdoors in the front on the street or in the courtyard at the back (we didn’t know it was there the first time we came!). ”
“ We like to order take out from this place when doing errands in Victoria Bc, we live outside of the city. They have reasonable prices that reflect quality taste. It also meets lots of my allergies needs with out losing much of the authentic flavours I crave. Wheat and dairy intolerant plus food dyes, the accommodate successfully with options for me. ”
“ I visited day before yesterday. I love such a welcoming staff and friendly customer service. And on top of that food was so delicious. I am vegetarian and it is difficult to find tasty option in Victoria, but La Taquisa is one of the best place for veg people like me. I would highly recommend to try Tortila soup. ... ”
“ Food was delicious. The meat in the tacos was to die for. The chips that we got were warm and fresh. You can tell that everything is homemade and not just run of the mill. Definitely a little gem worth stopping at. ”
“ Thank you so much for catering our office luncheon today! The setup was very nicely done and the food was wonderful. Everyone asked me where I ordered the food from. For the first time out of all the monthly lunches, I didn't have any leftovers. Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures of all the food but I managed to get a few. Look at that guacamole!!! 3 Thank you, Team La Taquisa for a job well done :) - Quartech Joyce ”
“ Continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Victoria. Highly recommend getting the Couple's/Family meals with extra corn or flour tortillas. ”
