Delicado's North - Mexican Near Me - Nanaimo, British Columbia

I ordered by phone, they told me 15 minutes. I was there in 5 minutes and paid, and waited. While waiting, 2 seperate customers came in and ordered over the counter, one of those customers ordering close to the same thing I did. BOTH of those customers received their food before I did even though I had phoned AND was in the store before they even ordered. I gave them a $5 tip and they treated me as though other customers were more important. Lastly, I ordered "nitro" the hottest they offer, and it wasn't spicy like not even a little bit. read more

had an awesome lunch with my wife on Saturday. great food and great service along with a very extensive menu. Check out the salad section as well. read more

Several times now, I have had rude and unaccommodating service. They seem to have the attitude that there are no other places to go.. sorry but there are many other places that have just as nice of food, who actually seem to want my business. WON'T BE TRYING AGAIN read more

Delicado's seemed like a very popular place. Different kinds of people in the crowd, a 15-20 minute wait, etc. all suggested we were in for a good food experience. And, it was good -- but. I think it really fell down on value. We ordered a chicken enchilada and a chicken burrito (each $12!) and there were some problems. 1) For $12 all you get is one burrito. That's friggin' pricy! 2) The burrito and enchilada were almost indistinguishable. They had the same filling (pic uploaded), the same meat, the same topping... the only difference was one had cheese inside of it and one had cheese outside. 3) There were several "heat" options from mild to spicy; one level up from "mild" ('medium -") was WAY hot and again, indistinguishable from /four/ levels up from mild ('medium +'). It's a funky place, and the food was fresh-ish. But lousy value, a long-ish wait, and food that was uniform kinda makes me wonder why it was so popular. P.S. The one standout was their salsa! Cooked tomato with carrots in it -- nice and sweet. read more

Delicacies by far has fresh good food very fresh. Happy people And good atmosphere. I sigh it was bigger and expanded to host large parties. The prices are high but for quality. read more

The place came highly recommended and is a bit busy. But I was quite disappointed. The food took forever, which would have been okay if it were better. (40 minutes for two wraps and 3 orders ahead of us) The portions were pretty small. Also, I ordered extra extra hot and believe these guys wouldn't know what spicy was if it bit them in the ass. It was only mild at best. Maybe I'm spoiled in Vancouver, but I would definitely not come here again. read more

I've loved Delicados for years, primarily on the basis of the rollup, deli cookie, and some of the interesting deli salads with nice mixes of veg and interesting homemade dressings. It would be 5 stars because these items are really delicious- i.e. the combination of chipotle sauce, sunflower sprouts and southwest pico (corn, black beans, veg) in the rollup is perfect. Minus a star because prices have been ratcheting up and portion sizes shrinking, and, in the 20(?) years this Delicados has been around it has consistently been slow to push food out. Yes, they're upfront that everything is made to order, but it feels like there must be some processes that could be improved to speed things up - especially during peak hours when the wait routinely stretches to 20 minutes or more. Clearly I think the wait is worth it, though! read more

I went in about 6:30. (They close at 7) Walk in and the girl immediately says they are closed. It was my first time coming to this establishment. It's to bad that their staff closes the doors half hour before close. I definitely understand closing a bit early and getting everything in order to close. But they didn't have to rush me out as soon as I got there. Staff could have been a bit more polite about it. Very disappointed I was excited to try their food. read more

Although I am partial to the original location, the Delicados across Aulds from Woodgrove Mall makes for an excellent alternative to mall food! read more

Delicado's North - Always a little chaotic. But worth the wait! Fresh and delish! - Mexican Near Me - Nanaimo, British Columbia

Fantastic, bumpin' lil Mexican restaurant right around the corner from Woodgrove Mall. I can't believe I hadn't been here before! It was very busy and interestingly played Jamaican tunes when we first walked in, so a fun vibe for sure. We sat on the outdoor patio in the sun with a bit of shade which is perfect in the summer. All the food looks delicious. I had the "big burrito" which is a massive burrito served on a plate Burrito El Grande on the menu. I could have used more sour cream and salsa, but overall quite good. I hope to come back and try the rest of the menu soon. read more

See all

I called in an order to save time and was told 20 min. I arrived after 14 min and got in line to pay. By the time I paid, it was easily 20 min and was told it would be done soon. There was no one behind me. After 30 min, the people who were in line ahead of me and ordered there got their food before me! When I said something, the girl brushed it off. The wrap was smaller than I remember as well. Too bad I had to tip ahead of time since it was very poor service! I think I'll try other mexi places in town now. read more

After a long day travelling time and saving the universe delicados is always a delicious and relaxing meal...LOVE IT read more

Delicado's North - Sunday - Mexican Near Me - Nanaimo, British Columbia

Haven't tried anything that wasn't delicious and always a vegetarian option! Pretty busy and sometimes line up to the door. Staff are a little cool but always quick and courteous. read more

I had the most disappointing burrito there tonight. It was mostly corn which had been overlooked or something, as it was like paste, with a few black beans, about a teaspoon of sauce in it for flavour and a couple of chicken slices which was processed. No flavour, dry over cooked ingredients. They missed by a mile or more. I don't recommend and we'll never go back. read more

I used to like Delicados a lot however, it's getting a bit pricey these days . The last time we went our bill was $35.00 for two wraps... For that price we could have had a proper sit down restaurant meal... read more

Possibly the worst food I have had in a long time. Mediocre would be a compliment! My partner and I both had the shrimp wrap which was made with canned, tough shrimp meat, possibly 1/2 a dozen tiny pieces. The shrimp should have been the star of the wrap but that definitely wasn't the case. Overall flavor was totally nondescript. Food was served in a paper wrapper, no plate in spite of it being messy food. The coffee contained grounds. The cutlery was dirty, I had to try 4 teaspoons before I could get one that was not too terribly stained. The effort that was spent on creating a menu board should have been spent on cleaning the establishment. And all this for an overpriced $21.00. We will not be back. I should add that I have never felt compelled to rate any restaurant before, but after trying Delicado's North and being so appalled at the poor quality of the food it left me wondering why it is so popular. read more

Walked into Delicado's right at 5:05pm ordered at 5:15pm. The burrito el grande was my selection, 5:35 it arrived so a 20 min wait. The service was not the greatest. The burrito was microwaved which made it rubbery. The bean & southwest pico out weighted the chicken 10 to 1. I seemed to not like nuked salsa, cheese was way over nuked. The flavour was ok, the fresh cilantro helps. This will not be a repeat or get a second chance. A microwaved burrito I can get from your local petrol station or convenient store. It is a step up from these products, but "COME ON" this is old school. People must like it. It was pretty busy. Maybe they will read this review. Simple fix with the right equipment. Not much else to say. read more

I love this place, the yummiest place in Nanaimo to eat Mexican. Sometimes a little wait but i'm ok with it because food is fresh and delicious. Always order the Spinach Burrito "nitro" . And the chocolate dessert, can't remember what its called is awesome. The wait is worth it for me. read more

I ordered a Nitro (the hottest) and I received something that would be considered a medium. Portions are small and it is very expensive. Spend your money somewhere else. read more

The service is slow sometimes and trying to fit lunch into a 1/2 hr slot is impossible. I find the south end has better food than the north but the girls are hotter on the north. (I know, Im a pig) Also getting pricier. I give the north end 1 star and south 3 read more

Ate here yesterday and it was not worth the price. A specialty wrap was small, delicious but not worth the money.

Service was horrible. Multiple tables received their food before we did even though we ordered before them. Lady who took our order was condescending. If it wasn't for the fact that my kid ate the food this review would not have any stars read more

I've only ordered the Southwest Roll-Up and the Burrito El-Grande. The food tastes great, but they're way too pricey for the portion size. Especially the burrito El-grande which is almost $12 which is pushing it IMO! I think $8.25 for the southwest roll up (average sized burrito) was too high; $5-6 is more reasonable. A lot of times I still felt hungry afterwards so the value is lacking. Overall, delicious but I probably wouldn't go there again unless they reduce the prices. read more

i have always love delicados. ever since i was a little kid. one time for lunch, about a week ago, i got a chicken nino. of course from the kids menu because i am still a kid at heart. probably around the 3rd bite into my wrap i bit into a bone. just a little one, but i was still flabbergasted. don't get me wrong, i have always loved this place and it will still be my favourite wrap restaurant but id just thought i'd let people know, CHECK BEFORE YOU CHEW. read more

This place is just okay. Delicado's seems to use processed chicken that already has grill marks on it, which the staff then just warm up in the microwave. The salads here are good and their wraps have the potential to be extremely tasty but the poor quality meat is really disgusting. Unless they change their ingredients, you should go elsewhere. read more

Great taste but price is outrageous for the portion size, so disappointing. Been eating at Delicado's since the beginning and this is the only location that has left me feeling ripped off. read more
