Delicious food and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Greatly appreciated the extra care taken to keep gluten and gluten free products separate! Excited to have a new place in the Westshore to enjoy!
I've been going to the Wilson location for about 3 years and we eat there at least once a week. Try the shrimp! The soup great and often overlooked so give it a try too. Everything is made from scratch. I've watched the. Make huge tubs of chipotle on more than one occasion while I waited. Also the staff seem to enjoy working there which says a lot about the place. Highly recommend.
Damn fine tacos!
Another Mexican street style taco joint. The Baja shrimp tacos are spectacular and there is great value with 5tacos with guacamole and sour cream and a pop for about $15!
If you don't know what you like, try one of each and zero in on your fav! That's what I like about places like this and this style of taco, they are only 4-5" and $2-3 each, so buying a bunch is still reasonably cheap and you have a lot of choices.
Tried their baja shrimp taco and the baja fish taco. Liked the baja shrimp better. I went with a medium level spice but it might have been better with another level up. 3.5 because the taco isn't all that much better than the other taco joints within the downtown area. But the price is better tho.
I love this taco place. We moved downtown and there are 4 taco places within one block of my house - this place is the best of the bunch - strikes the right balance between quality and price.
I am really impressed by their meat sourcing - it's from good, local places - so appreciated!
One thing that more people really ought to check out is their breakfasts - only available on the weekend and on Fridays - but seriously, check it out.
Sope con chorizo is really good. The gringa with beef tasted ok but not too impressive. it's a place for some quick bites. The chilaquiles are very tasteful and a little too salty.
Have been to this place a few times. I have not been disappointed. It is tasty and cheap and cheerful. I prefer it for take out versus sitting there.
Chorizo burrito rocks. I love the chorizo burrito here, it has deep flavours and is a little spicy too (their hot sauce added = perfection) The portion is great for a hungry patron and leaves you feeling full, but not regretful. + it's saucy, not greasy! Adding guac. is worth the extra and never regretted either. Go for the el gordo, if you're really hungry and you will be extremely satisfied. I've tried both the chicken mole and beef al pastor also and they are equally delicious too. The fried shrimp tacos, with extra chipotle mayo (for the saucy lovers) are also killer and a nice switch up from meat. The staff have always been helpful and cheery, which makes this resto solidly good.
Quite good, but could use some tweaks. My wife and I went to La Taquisa for dinner Tuesday, March 31.
We arrived about 840 and were greeted by the warm smells of mexican food. Always a great start to dinner. She had the vegetarian tacos (an assortment of all 3) and I had beef, chicken, fish, shrimp, and chorizo tacos. They were quick, tasty, and the meat especially had good flavor. The "salad" on top could use some work. It needs more onion especially. I also think the tacos themselves were a little...under...in flavor. More bland than some other taco joints I've been to.
Overall, I was pretty satisfied. My only real disappointment was that I didn't realize they closed at 9, so I couldn't order more (they had shut down the taco station when I asked if I could). Kinda sad, but I suppose I can't blame them for closing at closing time...
I've been to better, but I would certainly consider going back. Overall very good.
Tasty burrito made for a giant. After reading the reviews and seeing the place busy every single time i pass by, decided to give this place a shot. I had the beef burrito, order was ready within a minute. I was shocked at the size of the burrito, seriously it doesn't need to be this big. The beef was tasty and tender. The lettuce and the guacamole was very fresh, and the tortilla was warm and delicious. I highly recommend this place. The only suggestion to the owners is to cut down on the portion sizes and reduce the price.
Pretty good. Good prices, good soda, nice look. did not like the corn tortillas however, they were dry and just strange. burittos on the other hand were amazing in value and taste. service could've been just a tad smilier. but a decent enough place to eat :)
Delicious. Fresh, affordable, and fun choices. The sopas is delicious.
I do wish their guacamole was less processed.
The food was amazing. I order the pork burrito and my brother got a beef burrito and we both thought it was amazing. The staff were quick with preparing our meals and they had outstanding service.
Favourite place to go on my lunch break, or for date night. Service is fast. Everyone is very nice. Food is so great. #1 tacos on my list. :))
Love the interior style of this cute place. The food was amazing, authentic tasting and fresh!
The price is also just right!
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!).
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.
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. 🫶🏼
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 :)

The owners are a local family and just the nicest people. Always remember your name, hard working... and the food is amazing too. They use high quality ingredients and recipes. Best Mexican food in town!
I have never had a bad meal from La Taquisa. I got the baja fish burrito and it's a complete meal all on its own. The service is great. People are friendly and they're quick. It's one of my favourite places in Victoria. 😀
Their fish tacos are delicious. I'm pretty picky about Mexican food, but I enjoy having a meal here whenever I visit Victoria.
Props to the staff with also being polite and patient to some inconsiderate customer who was being so rude to the friendly staff.
