Gina's Mexican Cafe - Nanaimo

I had a great meal here at a reasonable price. Funky decor. Good menu. Friendly service.

Good Ol' Ginas. This is the go to place for unfussy tex-mex food especially if you want good portions and very colourful environment. Tacky festive, and damn pleasant. And if you're needy, the staff can handle modifications.The servers at Gina's have been here for a while, and they are sharp and cool as cucumbers even when swamped. Solid team.<br <br The menu is small but with a fair bit of variety. The Adobe and Huevos Rancheros being something I fall back on. Oh and the molé sauce is peanut free, for those of you who care. It costs around $30 ish with tip for 2 people not including appy or drinks which is fair I think.<br <br Not everything on the menu is a gem. I would avoid the tostada type salads if you're hungry and the dishes with baby shrimp because they're generally not the freshest. Although Prawns Coriander is one of my favourites, seafood here, like most restaurants, is not going to be the best. And sometimes the corn is wrinkly... but I'm not really complaining.<br <br P.S. I would not recommend a party of 20, although I've seen it done, <br <br

Gina's Genius Food. I am a huge fan of mexican food and needless to say, this place takes the gold! There was wonderful service and a wide variety of choices! When the food came it was fresh and hot! I would definitely suggest this place! :

It has been 10 years since last visit. Maybe it's a little bit too late to make a review for this place. It is the best Mexican or Canadian Mexican restaurant in Canada I've been to so far. Lots of good memories here. Wish to visit it again soon.

Been coming here for 28 years consistently great food and good service there is a reason they have been around for over 30 years. Probably something to do with all their sauces being freshly made in house and sourcing all local sea food !
