Taste 4/10 Service 10/10 Value 3/10 We ordered 3 dishes - the skillet, the pulled pork Benny and the Benny + pancakes Skillet - basically it was nachos in a skillet. Except there were only 5 chips and they were so soggy I couldn't even pick it up. Taste was good as nachos + guacamole can taste good. Special Benny - the Benny base was really good but there was some sour sauce on top that covered everything. Benny + pancakes - mediocre read more

Fuego Old Town Eatery - Chimichanga with salad. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

One of the best and most interesting breakfasts I've ever had! Pancakes with pulled pork! Yum! Definitely recommend going here!

Found Fuego in downtown victoria. It's in a really cute square with some shops and beer gardens. I was simply looking for a good breakfast/lunch spot. Needless to say I've been back 3 times during my stay in Victoria and we're planning on going back for more. I suggest trying to cornbread and avocado/egg toast. read more

Had brunch here. Very good service. Our waitress was always available to top up our coffee, cream, etc. Food is pretty good too! Good value for what you get. Not your regular brunch place, they put a nice Mexican twist to their dishes! read more

What a gem! Delicious and creative brunch fare in a charming location in the Market Square courtyard. Very friendly to celiac and other gluten sensitivity diners with a separate menu available that has ...pretty much everything on the regular menu except items that come in a flour tortilla. Staff is friendly, service is fast, portions are generous and reasonably-priced for a downtown eatery. Highly recommended! read more

What a nice find. My husband had the pulled pork quesadilla and I had pulled pork enchiladas. Delicious. Both had a nice little kick spice-wise. Would definitely recommend. read more

We ate breakfast and I was very happy with my Benny and the cakes - great option to have both sweet and savory! We almost went back for breakfast a second morning on our short trip. I would absolutely recommend this place for breakfast! read more

Fuego Old Town Eatery - Benny and the cakes... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Delicious Mexican brunch food. Very impressed. They even managed to make pancakes (my daughters meal) taste exceptional and different. We would definitely come back here. Also nice to eat outside overlooking the Market Square courtyard. read more

Avocado toast w/ homemade guacamole and perfectly poached egg highly recommend. Fuego Benny was good but the hollandaise tasted very buttery. The potatoes were perfectly crisp. Very nice server. No line at 9am. read more

Can't comment on the food, as I did not stay. I arrived and waited for about 5 minutes before another couple arrived. Though several staff walked past me no one gave eye contact, welcomed us or advise that they would be right back. After waiting a while longer, a staff person finally came up. I advised I would like a table. She then turned to the couple behind me. Though a few close tables were vacant, she took the couple right to a table and when she came back to me, she advised I would have to wait while a table was cleared. Having arrived well before the couple and trying repeatedly to get someone's attention I have to say I was offended by being overlooked. With so many incredible places in Victoria for brunch, it seems a new-ish place needs to keep a closer eye on the front of the house. Won't go back. read more

My partner and I LOVE this place for brunch! It's a little hidden gem in Victoria. We love their bacon and eggs (so exciting lol). We always make our own breakfast plates & they always do an incredible job. We are both gluten free & I'm dairy free, and they have lots of options for both of us! Highly recommend this place for classic breakfast or trying something new (like pulled pork pancakes!) Yummy read more

My wife & I did breakfast/brunch here. We ordered a coffee & tea to drink then shared the Taco Sliders (pork, cheese/veggie, chicken and chorizo) and the Egg Chilaquiles Skillet. The sliders were yummy & priced appropriately, the Chilaquiles were just okay. After having Chilaquiles in San Antonio TX, these didn't quite have the authenticity we were expecting. To improve the plate, I'd have thicker chips and more of them. Lastly, the service was a bit odd. The hostess was nice and estimated our time appropriately but our server was pretty loopy (high possibly?) read more

Perfect little breakfast joint with good food, good service and a nice view of the street and bridge.

Second time visiting here, but this time I just ordered for a snack to go rather than dining in. The churros and chocolate sauce here are out of this world! We waited about 4 minutes for them as they are made fresh and come out piping hot! 4 churros and chocolate sauce for ~$5.50. The outside of the churro has a light crisp to it and coated in a layer of sugar. The inside is UNBELIEVABLY moist, soft dough. WOW, honestly the most satisfying dessert I've had in a long time! Great with or without the accompanying melted milk chocolate, but I really did enjoy indulging in the churro WITH the chocolate. AMAZING! A must buy!!! read more

Fuego Old Town Eatery - Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This place is a gem in downtown Victoria, tucked in beside Cafe Mexico, and not your typical breakfast spot. The service is great, the food is fresh, delicious, and adds a great Mexican twist to your breakfast faves. I had a veggie benny, my hubby had a benny and the cakes, both were amazing. Super tasty cornbread instead of an English muffin, what has to be house made hollandaise, and super delicious breakfast potatoes. And the pancakes with pulled pork and apple were fantastic too! read more

Fuego Old Town Eatery - Best Benny in town - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Though the plastic palm trees make it look cheesy-touristy, the lineup for the other brunch place was unreasonable, so we ended up here. Who knew our second choice would yield first rate food? The veggie omelette was arguably the best Mexican breakfast I've had. Two kinds of roasted peppers and mushrooms add heaps of flavour, and if you love heat, their house made habanero sauce is not to be missed. The owner was as attentive as our server and explained the origin of the place's name, Fuego, which means "fire": after Cafe Mex next door was destroyed by a kitchen fire, the place sat empty for two years before they decided to rebuild. Their passion for the place comes through in every bite. read more

Truely amazingly delicious. I had the veggie benny - an wonderful mix of flavors. I loved the cornbread base and the lime hollandaise. I couldn't get enough. My wife had the veggie omelet. She said it's the best egg dish she's ever eaten, plus the refried beans were the best she's ever had. We came here because the line at the blue fox was too long. I'm very thankful for that as we would otherwise have missed one of our favorite breakfasts ever. I'll dream of Fuego until our next return to Victoria. read more

This place was really good! We had to wait almost an hour to get our food but it was all worth it in the end!! Yummm. read more

Fuego Old Town Eatery - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This restaurant I found via Yelp, and it was a 10 minute walk from our hotel in Victoria (Delta). The service was hands down THE BEST service I've ever encountered and at restaurant I've ever been to. Everyone was so friendly! I ordered the mocha iced coffee, and only wished it had been bigger. I also ordered the Chilaquiles with my eggs over easy. When my little skillet came out I thought it was a small serving, but it was so filling and packed with flavor. More of Chilaquiles deconstructed. It was very good!!! My dad had the egg chorizo burrito and really enjoyed it. I also added a pancake, it was like butter! It melted and was so savory and sweet. I wish I had a bigger stomach!! Highly, highly recommend eating here! We got here about 9am and there was still seating, about 45 minutes later there was a little bit of a wait, but very worth it! read more

By far my favourite place to get breakfast/brunch in Victoria. The pancakes are amazing and worth waiting in the line for. A great spin on tradition breakfast fair. Can't wait to go back! read more

Might be one of the best meals I've ever had. The veggie tacos, tortilla soup, and potato cakes were delish! We went on Victoria Day and the wait was only about twenty minutes. I can't wait to go back! read more

Any time I visit home, I always have to make a stop for brunch here... Amazing food every time! They have the most amazing refried beans and hot sauce as well! read more

The food was good but it was not authentic Mexican. I had the huevos rancheros and the salsas were bland without much flavor. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was amazing. Great for a night out to drink and casual dining, but if your looking for real Mexican, this will not satisfy your craving. read more

I've walked past this place a lot and never actualy gone in before. I tried it out for breakfast upon reading the good reviews from others, but unfortunately I was very disappointed. Paid $20+ including tip and left hungry. I had asked the bacon to be done soft, no, it arrived flat, rock hard and crispy, almost as if it was cooked the day prior and then re-heated. The corn-bread was stale and crumbly, the pico was okay as were the eggs. The potatoes were cold and undercooked. I'm not a picky eater but this was a disaster. I left 3/4 of it on the plate, when the waitress asked if it was good, I politely explained why it wasn't. Still charged me full price for everything. Will not be returning here. read more

Cool digs, they have a great environment and friendly service. I am visiting from Seattle and ordered the chorizo breakfast wrap and it was rather underwhelmed. The chorizo didn't have that chorizo bite I was expecting and it's apparently one of the best things on the menu. We're fairly spoiled with good Mexican stateside so that is something to take into consideration. read more

Amazing brunch !! Ive had their breakfast burritos, with scrambled eggs, sausage and avocado and i couldnt have asked for better !! Very affordable price 8-15$, definitely recommend !! read more

Interesting ideas on the menu. I like the concepts, but the execution wasn't as I would have hoped. I had the benny (fuego) and the cakes. The flavour was really good. nice chorizo. The only thing that wasn't that great about the benny was that it was served on cornbread which tended to crumble. The side of pancakes is a nice size. The service was phenomenal. I would go back and try another item from the menu. read more

So close to really really good. If the tortillas on the huevos were toasted or crisped and warm, they were soggy instead, the potatoes could be a bit crispier, and if the corn bread on the Benny was served warm as well you would have something amazing!!! But for Victoria a nice addition. Keep going!! And warmer food, it was a bit cold. read more

My hubby and I stopped in here for brunch on our weekend getaway in Victoria. We were both blown away by the delicious, inventive food on offer at this airy, charming, Mexican-influenced restaurant. There was hardly any wait and service was friendly and on point. After salivating over their compelling (and exciting!) menu, we sampled two of their bennies, the slow roasted pork on potato pancakes with chipotle hollandaise, and the veggies benny on grilled corn bread. Both were outstanding: subtle, unique, and insanely satisfying flavours. In fact, we could both easily say that this was the best breakfast of our lives--hands down. read more

I've often struggled with the age old brunch question: sweet or savory? At Fuego, I didn't have to choose! Benny and the Cakes gave me unique and delicious pancakes PLUS a mind blowing Eggs Benedict with a perfectly cooked medium poached egg. The decor is quirky and cool, and location on Market Square is excellent-- highly recommend! read more

On a recent weekend trip to Victoria I found myself looking for a good place for brunch. This place was close to my hotel so I decided to check it out. I was very pleased with the service, and enjoyed the unique decor. I don't eat pork, but there were lots of vegetarian options and the server was happy to provide options for substitutions in dishes that traditionally included meat. Their menu puts a unique Mexican twist on traditional brunch fare. read more

Ok folks, don't mess around. Maybe it's the day after Christmas and you've indulged a bit more than you'd like so you decide to be healthy and order a chicken salad, but your husband who doesn't care for such silly things orders the El Porco Benny, and when it comes he gives you a bite, and you experience the most serious case of ordering regret/food FOMO known to man. This is not just good, it is great. Spectacular. I'm gonna just go ahead and say tremendous. Transcendent in fact. Do yourself a favor and don't end up looking like a piggy when you order for the second time. Life is too short for grilled chicken salads when this spicy, sweet, creamy, crispy concoction of goodness exists. read more

Wow!!! Good Mexican food in Victoria, BC....long shot? Apparently not. The enchiladas were truly awesome, the rice was perfectly cooked and the beans were rich and creamy. Great prices, fast and friendly service. Couldn't have asked for more. read more

Love the breaky but no decaf. That's the only reason we don't go. I'd be happy with instant.

Nice downtown waterfront breakfast restaurant. Good coffee. I had the sweet and savory fuego pancakes. They were delicious and really filling. Awesone hashbrowns. Will go again. read more

Very good. Breakfast burrito was on point and as the previous review said the homemade hot sauce was very spicy and excellent.

Waited 30-40 mins for our food, watched multiple people seated after us get their food, eat and get a cheque. We werent checked on and when we noted it had been really long to get two pancakes they didnt seem to care. After that the pancakes were inedible, they were already soaked and in a bed of syrup. Really disappointing. read more

Great brunch. Had a Horchata Latte and Cornbread French Toast. They snuck some jalapenos in the cornbread. Added some nice heat wiith the sweet syrup. Latte was A+. read more
