We just got back from traveling through Central America and the great food here brought me right back. We had the Azteca soup and the special that night. Both were amazing. I would eat here again.

Decided to check out the other Mexican restaurant in Courtenay but this is a Mexicant!.I had been to Tita's a few days before , so I expected to find a similar product. That was a terrible assumption. the meat was dry. food was flavorless. ordered the margarita. it had a very strong chemical taste to it. the best part. the... More

We ate there about 3 years ago at another location and it was excellent and the decor was really neat. This time at their new location we were disappointed in the decor, the buffet looked unappetizing and we ordered a la carte. The food was good but nothing great like our last meal at La Cabana. Nanaimo bars for desset... More

A dazzling buffet in the heart of Courtenay! The new location is splendid! The buffet was full of authentic Mexican fare....poblano peppers and corn: beef burritos: refried black beans: tostados: soft tacos: fried tacos: cinnamon coffee and rice pudding included! I loved the juke box with only mexican music and the decor is wonderful. Don't miss it, or go again... More

Great ethnic Mexican cuisine! and atmosphere! The music that they offer once a month with dancing is just like being Mexico! Really can not suggest this wonderful place enough to anyone in the area!

Quiet but great food and overall a very neat restaurant to check out. Although, staff is Spanish first, English second, so be ready for some pointing at menus.

I've been to this restaurant twice now, and I was very happy on both occasions. The Azteca soup was delicious. Tacos pastor were simple and tasty. The corn tortillas were fresh, which to me is the most important part of the meal. They brought chips and salsa (green, red, and a fresh one) upon being seated. No, the chips were... More

Excellent soup!! (a bit pricey for a small bowl) Other prices looked very reasonable though. Everything was very impressive, the decor, the staff, the other foods on the menu - which we will definitely be coming back for. I felt like I was definitely not in Courtenay when inside, very authentic decor and conversation :) Good job new Mexican owners!... More
