The owner brings the total package direct from Mexico with their own house-made hot sauce, fresh flavours, and a variety of options! The restaurant is relatively small, but has a patio outside with a few tables if the weather cooperates. The server we had was very friendly, fast, and helpful with our large order! I had the fish tacos, the churros, and the chips with salsa and absolutely loved them! Check it out!

Our large group stopped here for lunch on our way to Tofino over winter break. We got here just as…read morethey opened so scored some great parking right outside (they don't have a lot of spots) and got seated at a long table before they got too busy. Kid-friendly place. They had a wall of games to choose from that kept the kids entertained while we were deciding what to order and as we waited on the food. They had a decent selection of kids meals priced nicely at $9.75 - the kids had chicken strips, mini-sliders, and pepperoni pizza - the mini-sliders were their fave. Beer-wise, flights were purchased to try their offerings. They tasted alright but none wowed enough to be memorable. Food-wise, the fam raved about their yummy chicken wings that was part of the rib and chicken combo. The brussel sprout appie was a bit overcooked/soft and the poutine was ok. Pricing was decent for what you get. Space was clean and comfortable to dine in. Service may have been on the slower end but we weren't in a hurry so wasn't bothered by it. They allowed split billing for our group and there wasn't any extra gratuity tacked on.

I tried their Loaded Potato Skins, Baked Chicken Alfredo, and Creamy Coconut Mushroom Fettuccine--all beautifully presented and full of flavor. The potato skins were crispy and cheesy with generous toppings, the alfredo was creamy and comforting, and the mushroom fettuccine had a unique coconut twist that worked really well! For drinks, I had the Orange Bridge beer and a Classic Caesar--both refreshing and well-balanced. The only downside was that the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. That said, the taste and quality made up for it. If you're in Port Alberni and want good food with a solid local brew, this place is worth a stop!
