Baby Salsa Express in Vancouver Island

Amazing food! I really liked the salsa and the burrito! Yummy!

Their fire salsa is great! Hot AF! You guys couldn't handle it. I loved it. Don't rub your eyes!!

We ordered a taco and a quesadilla and we liked the food so much that we ordered again. It is really delicious, a good deal!

From what I tried I would recommend. Burritos are tasty

Editing my rating: used to love this place, but the quality of food has dropped tremendously. Last two times I've gone it's been one thing or another. Tonight? I opened up my tacos and the tortillas were soggy and fell apart as I tried to pick them up to eat them. I won't be coming by again... bummer.

Good service and wonderful food!

These burritos are SO GOOD but they are also a bit pricey. If you want delicious Mexican food relatively fast, without sitting down at a restaurant, this is the best option.

Delicious tacos, the Diablo sauce is the right mix of spice and tang.

The best burritos in town by far!

Our family loved this place. My wife and son shared a chicken burrito, my daughter had chicken quesadillas and I had the vegan "fish" burrito. Everything was very good. I ordered a side of the fire salsa, it was very hot and very delicious. The vegan fish burrito is so good. Great selection af beverages, which my kids enjoyed. The only thing I would change is the seating and ambiance. A little music and a couple more tables or outside seating would be nice. It would be a great place to sit outside in the summer. We will definitely be back.

This is where my wife and I go when we don't feel like cooking and it's Saturday night and it's a long wait to go to a sit-down restaurant so we swing by Baby Salsa Express and go sit by the water with our dinner. And since it's consistently good food and fast friendly service it's an excellent choice. My most recent visit I was greeted by a sign saying all take-out containers (excluding foil of which I had none) are compostable! How fantastic is that?

Sign said short-handed the guy working was super fast gave me a great burrito love that place such great food

SO GROSS! I DIGRESS

Such amazing food. Healthy and yummy fast food. Great veggie options.

Food was really yummy! Inside the building was very very warm though.

Great food that fills you up, prices are alright but can add up quick. The owner really needs to hire more staff. My last trip there, 2 cars left from the drive thru due to wait times. The girls working were trying really hard but flustered. They had to turn their Skip off as they were too busy. If the owner actually reads the reviews, double your staff, speed service times up, serve more customers and in turn, make more money. Your staff and your bank account will thank you!

Although they have a vegan menu, I would not suggest going here as a vegan or even vegetarian. Ordered a vegan taco and they gave me ground beef. After I explained that I have an allergy to meat, they blamed me. I asked for a manager to call me, the next day an employee called me and said they don't know when a manager would be in. The employee accused me of lying and said it was my fault for not mentioning no meat. I was violently ill and I was again blamed. Despite the vegan menu, I would not suggest eating here. The main location is much more thorough and accurate with their orders.

Is it normal to get taco served in cold? Got cold taco for take out last night. Only been there twice. The first experience was great with hot taco take out. But yesterday I went again and got cold tacos. I'm very disappointed to be honest.

👍 GREAT - Great authentic flavours, much better than any other local "Mexican" restaurant except the "Original Baby Salsa". I especially recommend the Burritos! Great staff, Wonderful Food and Yummy Churros for dessert. We can't have the Mexican sunshine, but we can have Real Mexican Food! Ice Cream is now available, Chocolate, Vanilla or the "Combination Swirl", coming soon are Banana Splits, Sundaes and Frozen Bananas. The only problem is leaving enough room for dessert, the Burritos are Huge! 😊

First time I went there they messed up my order and had to re do it and so they took my old food and literally forgot about me until I came back over 15 minutes later and so it was an hour long experience for sub par food.Second time I customized my tacos and specifically said 6 times that I hate sour cream and the girl who seemed to have an iq of a sandwich took 10 minutes to get my order into the machine and then I go home and open my tacos and there is sour cream everywhere.Don’t go here. Horrendous service. Outrageously dumb people. Sub par food.

Every week i go there and i am never disappointed. Food is hot, fresh and so delish. Staff is friendly and knowledgable about the menu

Great place to eat. Drive thru don't know about but eat in... be specific. Food is good but sometimes get your order wrong. Great staff and always friendly. Always willing to fix or change it up.

The beef burritos are fantastic, especially with their blackened habanero salsa and a bit of Valentina's black label. The salsa they serve with the complimentary tortilla chips is excellent as well.

Since discovering this drive thru/cafe it is our go to for amazing mexican food. It's replaced all other drive thru's when we are travelling between Victoria and Parksville. The service is great and our orders are always spot on. I've even ordered for 6 adults and all were amazed. My young adult sons say its better than tacofino! Please open one in Victoria!!

Good food, but a bit on the expensive side. Ordered 2x santa fe burrito's and got 2 little 6" things mostly packed with rice for 25$. It was good to try but never again for that price. I could go to convenience store and grab 2 chicken ceasar wraps for half the price and same quantity. Btw 14 bites to finish 😂😂 last time i was there 2 years ago, they were much bigger for 10$ each

It's not a great place if you want to eat in, it's more for drive-thru or pickup, but I like the food and they have decent salsas, I especially like the fire one

We ordered a variety to share (take away). Everything was fresh and so delicious. Favourites were the Del Rancho Burrito and the Southest Quesadilla!! And the salsa, so good. Definitely a new favourite!!

Gonna get fat picking up food from here and that's just fine with me! Always consistent an haven't ever had a messed up order!

Nothing but bland rice in here?

Decided to give this place a try as I was having a hankering for a burrito. The service was great, fast and my burrito was a decent size. I ordered the Beef Buritio and a Jarrito my order came to $18, so I was down $20 after the tip. Much to my chagrin the burrito was very bland and consisted mostly of large hunks of bland stringy meat. I really didnt enjoy my meal and I was truly disappointed. I lost interest in eating it about a 3rd of the way through. I may give this place one more go somewhere down the road in the hopes that they were just having an off day. Oh well, they cant all be gems. My official score is 2.5 and would have been much higher if the quality was there.

best place ever.. there soup is soo good

Great little takeout spot. Tasty Mexican food at a reasonable price.

Quality products, Competative prices, nice staff, and veggie options make this the place to go in Nanaimo for quick Mexican food. Much better value than the newly opened fast food competition.

It's really good

Real good tacos, super authentic, great salsa too. Reminds me of being back in Mexico

Good service. Good Mexican food. Never going back to taco bell. Stick to this. Got to always have the churros

Great food great service, love the fact that all take out containers are compostable right down to the cups and utensils.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and larger portions than I expected as well. I found it to be a little on the pricey side and we did have to wait a bit, but it was worth it. Delicious food! We will definitely go back.

Always great service and yummy food!

great service good good has the Santa fe quesidia it was very good

Great food super fast

Excellent food, not as wide of a selection as at the University Village location but minimal wait times make it ideal for a quick dinner p/up on the way home, really nice to get import beverages out of glass bottles, friendly staff make it worth while even if it is a little on the pricey side...

Very good food. Always consistent. Staff are always very friendly!

Compared to the location on 5th...this one is not so good..

The Del Rancho burrito featured some superlative carne mechada and very fresh ingredients in a soft, supple tortilla that was nothing short of delectable. The service is extremely friendly, and the food appears literally within a couple of minutes of ordering it, and it's piping hot and melt in your mouth!

The girl behind the counter, Brookie, was a delight to deal with. 10/10 will go back!

Great little restaurant, and no waste! Everything is compostable other than the tinfoil! Guilt free breakfast/lunch/dinner!

Yummo!!! Try the fish tacos, huge burritos, churros are amazing and pretty much anything you choose will be enjoyable!! Everything is made to order so you might sit in the drive-thru for a few minutes longer than Timmie's but I promise it's worth it!!

Baby Salsa was, as always very good. I ordered too much, it happens, so the churros will me a snack tomorrow.

Luv the Vegan options, will be back again!
