We had the 3 piece meal and a taco meal. The chicken was really good, nice crispy batter with good flavour. The fries were crisped perfectly. The tacos were extra delicious, with the baja sauce they were a great change from the norm. They're a little on the small side and fairly messy but worth it. The price of everything was about on par with what you'd expect, a little pricier than I'd like but decent overall. The staff was pleasant. Atmosphere was nice, we enjoyed the decor. A little chilly in there for a mid-November day but overall a good place to eat.
Is a unique experience. Nice friendly service from the owner. Has an old school Mexican theme charm to the place. Had Mexican and Fried Chicken and both were excellent. Nice crisp deep fried fries that were not greasy and did not have that 'cheap taste' so common in most places. Recommend.
An amazing food , place, and service. Chicken and fries are definitely crispy and taste yummy. The waiters there are very friendly.
The food was delicious with greaply portion sizes for the price. Atmosphere is nice, felt like I was back in Mexico. Staff were very kind as well.
used to go to the one in Squamish for years before it turned into sunny chibas, so I was ecstatic when I saw this driving by! It’s a fantastic little hole in the wall with insanely big and delicious burritos. Just as good as I remembered. A can’t miss!
Amazing food! The chicken and fries are really crispy. Definitely the chimichanga is a must try! A great family running it ! And awesome atmosphere !
Very happy we found this place!! We always used to go to the mags 99 in Squamish when we lived in Vancouver so this was a really pleasant surprise! Tasted different than what I remember at the other location but different in a great way! We got the chicken burrito, ancho pork burrito and the maxi fries. All was incredible! The mexi fries were fully loaded with sauce and beef so they were a bit of a hot mess but delicious. The chicken was good - no complaints, but would definitely recommend the ancho pork!! The ancho pork slapped!
You really need to stop here!! Fantastic food, great service and free delivery!! They have a dish for every weather!!! Highly Recommended!!
Id definitely buy this again!
Fantastic masala dosa and the owners are wonderful and friendly.
Tasty breaded friend chicken. Fast and friendly service.
On our way to tofino decided let s get Mexican well looks like we got the East Indian version one dish we tossed the others were just okay won t eat there again.
Food is Delicious and amazing MUST TRY
Delicious Mexican food. Good sized portions. I think I ll go try the chicken.
Glad that Mags is finally back. Stopped on our way to Tofino to grab a burrito. Very filling and tasty and the service was great!
Yummy beef quesadilla! The management is lovely as well. Such nice people.
Had chicken wings and fries. They were awesome. The two gentlemen that were waiting on us were so informative and so very kind. Thank you for a great lunch. We will be back.
Best fried chicken in town yummy
The crispy exterior of the fried chicken at Mags 99 paired with the juicy, flavorful interior creates an unbeatable combination. The secret blend of spices adds a unique touch, making it the reigning champion of fried chicken in town
Only problem ever has been there closed more then there open only in summer months
Love this place we drive all the way from Parksville to have their food. Ive tried various things on the menu and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.
We travel an hours drive just for this place. Best Mexican on the island. Only thing we dont like is its closed for the winter and we cant go. The food is amazing and HUGE portions. Worth the drive!
Ok, so Im giving this 3 stars instead of 1 because Mags was my fav place in squamish and I dont want to tank their rating but serious what the heck is happening there? The phone number is disconnected and we have tried going there on 4 separate occasions including today and the lights are on, door is unlocked and no one is in there, like literally no one. We even walked into the kitchen to see if anyone was there and sat for 5 minutes just trying to see if anyone was around.... All we want are burritos. Maybe put up a sign or something, we keep driving from Qualicum and its annoying because your hours say open. Change your hours. :(
Place is closed and shows open online. What a frustrating experience
Best chicken ever !
First time, wow! Such good chicken, not greasy, GREAT prices. They were very good with sanitizing and distancing. Very impressed. There was a girl working that said she just started and was fantastic! Would 100% recommend. Get the pouting, their gravy is soooooo good!
Delicious, well cooked food!
French fries and fried chicken are good
The beef burrito was one of the best very affordable and quite a huge portion definitely coming back !Also great customer service!
Good food, great service! Henry brought our food out to us and was very good at managing our big order with just himself and a cook.
Fried chicken was good, the beef burrito was a mess. Would prefer if they stuck it on a hot press to seal the burrito. It was like eating mexican slop out of a soggy blanket. Might come back for the chicken, not the burrito.
Great food but disappointing its seems to always be closed for the season ... Just trying to support the local businesses instead of fast food chains.
We ordered burrito and fried chicken to go. Both food were good. I would come back if I live in the area.
Closed for 3 months
Great food
I enjoy their chicken (crispy) and Mexican food. Unfortunately closed until May 5th
Never been here
Nice food. Im a Mexican food fan and this was pretty good for being this far North of the boarder.
Go to grannys chicken it is a lot better
It was the right decision, there are no miles towards Tofino, the food was good, the burritos were delicious
Delicious Mexican food. Good customer service.
Closed for the season
Mmmmm love their food. Great service, friendly staff!
I went there before but the last time the maximum burrito was dry, no salt,with a lot cuman The chicken was good I recommend the chicken
Rib maximus burrito is amazing
Great chickn and taco great servic

gr8
I go for the Mexican food......awesome burrito maximus...fish tacos....wont break the bank
Food was delicious & salads fresh ~ Staff was friendly and patient. Even unesecarily apologetic about a slightly longer than quoted wait time as we were happy to wait and even more happy to see a local independent business doing great & so busy! Was still awesome they acknowledged the wait time and even offered drinks or another addition to our order at NC which we thanked them for but declined because at days end thats just more money from thier bottom line. We are from out of town and when asked about lunch that the whole family would get down on your business was the first mentioned. With no KFC ( believe me we are all the better off with that loss ) you guys are in good shape to fill that void! Keep killing it and best of luck! I will recommend this to anyone visiting the beautiful Alberni Valley! Respectfully ~ Lyle Sayers
Great food get lots
The chicken was dry and they didnt give me what I asked for
Low price for large portions of pretty good food. The burritos are awesome.
mags 99 is a must stop in sqamish or port alberni
THE BEST. Seriously, do yourself a favor and eat here if you re reading this. I ve made trips from the city JUST to eat here and never regret it.
Was good fried chicken. Prices a little high. But was tasty.
Food is always fresh. Friendly staff.
The most delicious Mexican food. The restaurant is always clean and provides quick and friendly service. Great selection and value.
Always amazing. I can eat with the best of them and I never leave hungry.
Cool atmosphere, great food and service
Delicious food. Friendly service and beautiful colorful decor!
I really like this place. Ive tried a few things on the menu and everything has been awesome, especially the burritos. Also the staff are very nice and accommodating. Great spot!
Worked at KFC for years and definitely on par with what KFC offers. And the mexi fries are very good.
This place has great staff, and the best tacos Ive tasted in my culinary travels throughout Canada!
The food is so good. How can you not love 2 for one taco Tuesdays. The turtle beach cafe is good to sit in one or the other. I love the food there
Pretty much the most delicious burrito youll eat north of Mexico!
Dont let the Mags 99 name fool you, this place is terrible and pales in comparison to the excellent Mags in Squamish. We experienced mediocre, stale food and a surly cook who refused to make something gluten free for my girlfriend despite their menu claiming theyre GF friendly. Avoid!
My favorite restaurant in town. Tacos are amazing, chicken is cooked perfectly every time. The fries are the actual best compared to any other Port Alberni restaurant.
