I love La Tortilla Mexicana. The food is delicious and the snacks are always tasty. All their food is authentic and they really care about their customers having a great experience!
We are frequent shoppers and the owners, Ricardo and Sandra are always very friendly and helpful. They carry a wide variety of Latin products and the food is also really good. Highly recommended!
Super authentic! Just the wonderful smell of food when you walk in is amazing. The service is awesome and you can taste the love that is cooked into every bite. Will absolutely return and bring many people with me.
came here with my girlfriend while searching some somewhere new to eat. However we didn’t notice the time and came right at closing and didn’t even notice! we ordered tacos (meaning these poor guys had to stay late) and they were still so kind and helpful. we realized once we left what we had just done and after we tested the food we figured wr would leave a review to redeem our insolence. however not just here out of guilt, the food is fantastic!
A very authentic Mexican shop and restaurant that sells fresh, locally made Mexican cuisine foods. The owner there runs this business with his family, and is always very warm and welcoming to customers. I come here ever so often to pick selected products from Mexico that I wouldn't be able to find elsewhere on the island. The meals there are always served cooked on the spot. The overall store layout is also very organized and neat, with dry foods and snacks near the back, and fresh or frozen produce at the front. Plus some foods I have never seen before too! I highly recommend stopping by here for a bit to eat or just to shop for any goods from Mexico. You'll love it. 🇲🇽🌮
Very friendly service. I didn't find the tacos particularly good, but the hot sauce it came with was actually spicy and very delicious. So much so, that I purchased their house-made habanero oil, which is also amazing.
Tucked in a corner of a small mall in Goldstream, this shop/deli/food bar is worth the search. An very good array of Mexican groceries and a selection of great tasting take-away food. There are a few tables in the shop if you just can't wait. The owner is very pleasant and helpful, even attempting to assist me with my atrocious attempt at Mexican language. His suggestions were taken to heart and we enjoyed an excellent repas. Ice cream is available however, it appears that it may have been sitting there for awhile as we were just coming out of winter. You will enjoy exploring this store, it is an adventure on it's own.
Amazing assortment of groceries and delicious food! They have some awesome hot sauce like Valentina's which is so delicious. Ricardo is also super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to taste more of their food.
Awesome family run Mexican restaurant and store with all kinds of local goods from across Mexico. I go there weekly to pickup groceries I can t get anywhere else in town!
Ricardo is a kind person, we tried a burrito and tamal, its was pretty delicious, Im not specialized in mexican food but I enjoyed it. I recommend the store. They sell some Mexican, Colombian, and Peruvian products. 100% recommended well back soon.
Friendly, welcoming, and helpful! I was also impressed by the selection of sauces!
Very delicious typical Mexican food and you can also buy Mexican products. Very delicious typical Mexican food and you can also buy Mexican products Vegetarian options: Chili stuffed with cheese that is delicious
Most authentic Mexican place Ive been to anywhere on the island or even lower mainland. Tastes just like Mexico. It is pricey for thr amount of food you get but its truly amazingly good.
Wonderful little spot for authentic food family owned very friendly.
Thank You Ricardo and Family for the excellent service and warm welcome.
Great selections - good costumer service :)
Very friendly and handy store for specific items. However, last time we needed tortillas we were charged $31 (!) while same exact product is $7.50 at the market on millstream as we discovered later. Just beware of prices and do research.
Delish made to order food, authentic and very reasonably priced. Lots of good grocery options as well. Staff is very kind and welcoming you can really tell this business is a passion of theirs. Will absolutely be back and would recommend to anyone!
The first time I came here, I was looking for the makings for Birria tacos & I couldn t even pronounce half the stuff I needed, the owner was so friendly & welcoming, he helped me find everything I needed & was so educating as well! Btw, the Birria turned out absolutely amazing! Every time we come here we get the empanadas which are to die for, the tamales are delicious as well! If you start making birria we ll be there everyday lol
The owner he nice and helpful. And the taste good
I went in for the first time, and had an incredibly nice experience in a relaxed atmosphere, I did not feel rushed despite being unfamiliar and was treated very kindly. He explained patiently about the options and how to prepare them. The food was absolutely delicious and I left knowing Id be back!
Bought a home-made empanada and loved it. Highly recommend visiting this place. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Burrito is massive but lack of flavor and mostly filled with rice and lettuce and not much meat. Protein selection is very minimal. Never been to a Mexican joint that doesnt serve carne ASADA or even Al pastor. I dont recommend this place because theres other food options in the area if your looking for Mexican food. The guy who I believe is the owner greeted us right away and try to convince us to buy something. My wife was starving and so she got something for lunch and I didnt just because I didnt want to waste my money. Looked around the market and saw some mexican candies I used to get when I was a kid but I was shocked that they charge a $1.50 for a tiny piece of candy... Lol
Such a kind owner and great food. The shop has some cool treasures as well. Vegetarian options: Great mixed veggies option Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs into the location. On street level and spacious
Wonderful place, gracious people, delicious food.
The burritos were fantastic, genuinely some of the best Ive ever had! And the portions were huge, I got lunch and dinner out of it so great bang for your buck.
Unbelievably friendly. Food is very authentic. Enchiladas with beans and rice are our favorite
Always the best
Its the only place that carries both Mexican candies, including mangomitas. That plus amazing enchiladas!
I found the place to be clean and the staff to be friendly. They have an interesting mix of products that to the right person would be wonderful finds. I went there just to get a burrito, it was huge and tasted good but it could have had more spicy for my liking. I m sure that could easily been rectified by the staff if I just asked for it.
Had empanadas and they were so incredibly good that we got 2 each. I m celiac and I haven t had empanadas since I was a kid in Mexico. I was so shocked that these were Glutej Free! They were so crispy and crunchy on the outside with the most delicious tender and juicy filling with melty cheese. You can tell a lot of care and love goes into everything they prepare and assemble. I will definitely come back and recommend. (Plus the owners are fabulous and kind!) My go to place for Mexican goods and snacks from now on!
Easy to get there, they are good tortillas
My dad and I went to try out this place today and the food was delicious, my dad ordered a bunch of chicken and beef empanadas for the rest of our family, I had a chicken burrito and it was huge and everything was homemade Really friendly customer service, I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have good homemade Mexican food My dad and I will definitely be returning in the near future
The owner was so welcoming and friendly. I got a beef burrito which was HUGE. I asked for avocado in it and he said theyd have to open one and see if they were good because some were brown earlier in the day, which was very reassuring knowing he only wanted to serve quality food. The burrito was full of flavour and well worth what I paid. I will definitely be back.
Amazing!! Home made tortillas chicken burrito was one of the best I have had! I never give reviews but I thought this place deserved it! Recommended dishes
HIGHLY recommend this place. Lovely people & excellent food. 10/10
Riccardo and family make their good work love. Thank you for the delicious burritos!
Great food and amazing service, the only authentic tacos I ve found in greater Victoria. Ricardo was so accommodating and even took the time to show us how he makes the tortillas from scratch!
The tastiest Latin food in all of Victoria. B.C.
You have to try the food at this little gem of a place truly delicious, fresh, home made, from the heart by a lovely family. Transports you to Mexico. Dietary restrictions: GF
Awesome food!!
I love this little Mexican grocery. I get dried peppers and corn tortillas. The owner is a doll.
The owner is so nice and helpful and makes the best tamales and burritos along with homemade salsas and verde, everything is SO delicious!! Vegetarian options: The bean and rice burrito was fantastic!
Great small store and plenty of options for meals
I am over the top and beyond satisfied with the kindness and service AND the food. Love you guys and what you do in the community. Your tacos are delicious, smoky, made in house. I can t wait to come back and try more on your menu Recommended dishes
Best Mexican food Ive ever had!
What a great selection of Mexican food & more! Very kind and friendly owners. Muchas gracias for bringing a piece of Mexico to the island.
Was welcomed into the store by a very respectful gentlemen, showed my partner and I around the deli and grocery areas which has a wide selection of Mexican spices and goodies. Food is handmade fresh daily, even down to the tortillas. Amazing food, excellent service, will be back in the future.
The folks here are outstanding. I highly recommend ordering their in-house tortillas that they make to order. Best tortillas Ive had, very much worth the 10-ish min wait. Food
Stopped for a fast bite in front of canadian tire Langford. Ordered 3 tacos and wow they were nothing less than perfect, finaly a nice clean friendy taco truck in langford. And hey everyone, its worth the drive from victoria
Hector is so friendly :)
Very delicious meals Parking: all good
Loved this store. They always are well stocked and carries unique products, unavailable elsewhere. Highly recommended
High prices and no price tags What also bothers me is that I usually go for chorizo and I know the price already and I went today to find a higher price and the cashier only said that it s the best one. And I had to ask for a recipe since they don t even want to give one. Worst place
Great tacos
I wouldnt go back even by mistake. There are no price tags and it bothers me to wait for them to give you a price, plus they give a different price every week and to finish, the food was horrible. I used to stop by very often to buy but I realized that the prices were going up and up as if they were taking everything out of their hands.
When the owner greets you at the door and proclaim they have, The best Mexican food on Vancouver Island, I thought well, thats some serious shoes to fill! Yeah, you know where this is going. Damn straight it was the best! So authentic and fresh! Had the pork tacos . Cant wait to go back and try everything. Keep up the great food folks !
From the moment we walked in, we could feel the love for the food by the ambience of the place and spirit of the older male (owner). He greeted & welcomed us with genuine enthusiasm. He made some suggestions and showed us around. We had Empanadas and tacos. We tried each of the 3 proteins, beef, chicken and pork and each was excellent. All of it was homemade and using only the freshest ingredients. A definite must when in Langford!
Omg we ordered food for pickup tonight it was delicious. We got tacos,and enchiladas,a few burritos, a few tamales with chips and Pico. I must say everything was delicious and extremely fresh. This is my new favorite place to eat! What we ordered Fed six people with seconds.
I can t recommend this place enough! The food is authentic and delicious. I recently had them prepare a large feast of enchiladas and taquitos for a family function and everyone raved about how delicious it all was. Muchas Gracias to the chefs and Ricardo!!
What an absolute gem! I have been dying for really good mexican food (especially tamales) and stumbled on this spot driving home. The horchata was some of the best Ive ever had. I bought every tamale he had left, and sat in the store for empanada. Everything was fresh and delicious. The little grocery store section has a good range of food and fare.
We had some amazing veggie tacos! Highly recommend, the owner is also very lovely
I ve eaten here twice this week. Truly the best Mexican food in the area. It is authentic and delicious. The owner is super nice and inviting. An absolute hidden gem, I would highly recommend!
The only place you should shop for any of your Mexican ingredients ! Amazing food, super friendly and helpful staff, highly recommended.
10/10 recommend. We ve eaten here 3x in the last week since finding this place. Will definitely be our go to Mexican food spot moving forward. The owner is also very kind and welcoming!
Riccardo, the owner of La Tortilla Mexicana, is such a kind hearted and welcoming person!!! His homemade food is amazing and the variety of Latin products is big! It s super easy to get here by taking the Rapidbus from Victoria if you are craving some authentic Mexican food! Would definitely recommend it!!!
Amazing atmosphere and the people who work there made my day. Delicious food, if only I lived in Langford.
Ricardo is a super sweet man. The food is authentic, and the agua frescas he makes daily are super delicious! Great little place to get all your mexican ingredients as well.
Been waiting for some proper authentic Mexican food to come to the Westshore! This place is awesome - great family bodega vibes, a decent selection of Latin American groceries and snacks, and delish home cooked Mexican eats! Definitely be frequenting this joint!!
Great food, wide selection of products. Ricardo s friendly, welcoming presence makes the 22 km return bike ride from Swan Lake worth it ;-) Great location adjacent to E&N Trail.
Awesome place.
The owner(s) of this place are always so helpful and friendly and make you feel welcomed every time you go in. The food is excellent and authentic. Lots of great Mexican grocery items if you like to make Mexican dishes at home.
We had great empandas here today. Ricardo was very friendly and it was great to walk around the store while we waited. Sitting in the grocery store like setting just made the food taste better.
Delicious and everything, including the tortillas, was homemade.
Tamales and empanadas. Tasty! Delicious! Thank you very much for sharing your traditional food. Thank you very much and respect. Hugs
This place is awesome. After having lived in Mexico for nearly 2 years, you miss the food and this place makes up for it. Every time Im there I tried something different. Their tamales are great and especially have a go at the burrito. It is a meal all on its own. Definitely worth the time.
I remember long ago when Ricardo and his family owned a restaurant in Esquimalt- it was my favourite place to eat! I am so glad to see that La Tortilla Mexicana has stayed on the island and the food continues to be made, because it is the best Mexican cuisine I have ever eaten.
Family owned. Dishes freshly made from scratch. We were welcomed and felt at home from the minute we were greeted at the door. Our burritos were huge and filled with delicious ingredients. Fantastic spot!! Highly recommended! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options. No Dairy options.
Very very expensive too high prices
The owner is super nice and helpful, amazing selection of food. I dont think Ive seen Taki nuts anywhere else. 10/10
Ricardo was excellent! Great place, wil definitely be back. Thanks again
Very friendly place to get authentic deli items and Mexican staples. Ricardo is a very helpful man and the homemade food is excellent.
Great little shop, authentic sauces and seasonings. Ricardo was very friendly and welcoming.
Thats lovely
Excellent service, and lots of delicious Mexican ingredients! Highly recommended!
The food is great, the service is great, the people are super nice. Ive been a couple of times and would definitely recommend to others!
Very authentic and great place to get Salsas, dried chilies and more! Been there twice, first time to pick up Groceries and salsas, second time to pick up some of the fresh cooked meals. Ricardo is very nice and welcoming and recognized me on my second visit. Dont know the authentic items beyond tacos and Burritos but Ricardo helped me out with some recommendations and the Empanads were awesome and Soup was so delicious as per the recommendation. all the way
Many mexican &latin america supplies. The owners are from Mexico, so they know their stuff.
The best place on Vancouver Island for Mexican deli n grocery! The owner is so friendly and helpful and all of the food is fresh and amazing !
Spot is the joint for ingredients and delicious home made foods!! Don t miss out on this gem!!
Best Mexican store in Langford hands down. They have a HUGE selection of traditional ingredients and household favorites! Everyone there is super friendly and hospitable. Thanks again guys!
Great little shop to get everything you want! Fresh made deli to pickup your favourites too! Great place
My favourite mexican food in Langford, closest to home Ive had and Ricardo is always so welcoming. Only complaint is that I bought some Carlos V chocolates there that were old (unsure if expired or just bad quality) but the actual food they make there is great.
The best place to get all your latin needs. From premade food to decor and purses, highly recommend the place. The owner Ricardo is one of the friendliest people I have ever met. Cant recommend this place enough, the food is to die for all in house made and as authentic as it gets.
Great people, great prices, beautiful food! Thank you very much Ricardo! Much pleasure
We ordered each of the empanadas - chicken, beef, and pork. Each was SUPER delicious. Im looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!! The owner was also really warm and welcoming!
Great little place and the nicest people!
Stopped at La Toritilla before we went to Sooke potholes. We got the burrito and empanadas, and they were absolutely amazing! Okay the ingredient were fresh and tasted authentic, and the staff/owner at the restaurant was a gem. Thanks for the food!
This place has the best and most authentic Mexican food in the Greater Victoria area. I was sad when they closed up their wonderful restaurant in downtown Vic, though I cant say I blame them, and I knew I was going to check out their Langford establishment as soon as I was in that area. I had a chicken tamale on site which was very delicious and then I got two different chicken enchilada dishes for heat up at home so I could surprise my husband. They were even better than expected. The chipolte sauce was wonderfully flavorful and spicy and the verde sauce was delicious and a little more mild. The accompanying side dish of potatoes and carrots was so good! Those are not something I would usually get excited about, but I ate them all. In addition to delicious ready made food, there is also a great variety of Mexican groceries. I got some cassava chips and La Victoria green enchilada sauce which I remember fondly from my days in SoCal. I feel that this little establishment is worth traveling for and I will do so for their rotating soups, such as menudo, pozole and meatball. If you live close by, you should most definitely go!
Great staff good authentic product slection
The kindest restoraunt, authentic feel. I asked for their spiciest homemade sauce. WOW! Not messin around, fire up your tongue magic! Incredible flavour as well.
Excellently authentic Mexican Deli, staff very friendly and good selection
Had an empanada from their hot case....delicious! Cant wait to try something new. Richardo the owner was very helpful and a pleasure to meet.
Stopped in here on a whim. Was a pleasant surprise. Nice selection of Mexican ingredients and food. I couldn t resist a fresh empanada. It was delicious. Ricardo the owner is so nice!
The Place is Ok got a few good Mexican goodies Im giving it two stars because of the cashier...She was way to rude , She couldnt care less
Excellent! Ricardo was super friendly and charismatic, we were able to find products from Peru :) and at a good price
This place is great, amazing food
Ordered empanadas and a burrito to go. They were excellent! The tortillas were handmade right on the spot and were out of this world! So good. Highly recommend for great quality takeout!
The most authentic Mexican food we ve ever had. Delicious!! And the customer service was amazing. Very friendly owners. Will be back for sure
Its a very autentic place, I felt like I was in México. There is a lot variety in mexican things. The people were very nice. And really good food. I love this place and Ill definitly be returning.
Awesome shop with delicious food! Lots of unique grocery items I haven t been able to find at other local grocery stores, and homemade frozen items that I ll definitely pick up next time. The staff were super helpful and I ordered the empanadas, tacos, and tamale - all were super tasty and filling, but the empanada was the real star. Plus the fresh toppings added helped to make it feel like a full meal even without the rice and beans (which I d also like to try next time). Highly recommend!
A little expensive but the BEST authentic Mexican food on the island by far. And the tamales!!!
Amazing REAL MEXICAN FOOD feels like I am back in Mexico. And hospitable friendly crew My favourite
Delicious fresh meals, frozen foods to take home, and a huge selection of grocery items. The tamales are top notch.
Authentic food, friendly service :) Cant wait to go back
Just so delicious!
They have the best Foothills ice cream that s hard to find that almost no one else has. Great hidden gem
Super friendly owners - lovely to speak with. Empanadas are a good size. And their tres leches cake is our favourite in the greater Victoria area .
I am mexican and I can tell they have great food and great variety of Mexican food. I had mexican pozole and it was delicious.
Amazing people and food
Great. Just go.
Wonderful little shop, all fresh made items. Everything delicious! We had enchiladas and quesadillas. All excellent!
Great service, excellent food, and a lot of items for purchase. Try this place!
Very authentic food and very friendly service.
Very kind Mr. Las Flautas is a delicious place to stock up and not miss the delicious Mexican foods, it also has other things from Latin America and items to decorate
Fantastic tacos, cool store, Ricardo is a legend. Authentica! Eat here!
Great little Mexican grocery store. Got some ingredients that are harder to find in Canada
Excellent authentic Mexican food. I could not ask for any thing more!
very good
Excellent food! Excellent service! My burrito was made fresh on the spot and with such care... highly recommend
This place is one of my favorites for mexican products in Langford . You can find authentic Mexican stuff as Mayonesa Mc Cormik, Jabon Zote, Roma, aceite123... And lots of different mexican brands. On the other hand, you can find frozen homemade chorizo, tamales, empanadas etc. I had red chorizo and it was very good, juicy and tasty. They have a deli bar so you can get fresh tacos dorados, empanadas, tamales, desserts, etc. So yummy!!! I dont have enough space to write all the amazing brands and products they have lol. I am so happy they open this store so near of my house in Langford.
Lots of products!
Great people. Cool grocery selection. Very tasty food. Give it a shot!
Horrible food. The people that work there are authentic but the food isnt. It tastes like what you would get in prison on Mexican food day. Premade frozen portions. No flavor. Enchiladas were so plain and white. No sauce at all on them and uncooked perogie like tortilla for some reason. Nothing is fresh. Everything is just heated up. TINY portions. $5 each for tiny tacos. Definitely make better food at home!
Very friendly owner. Spicy candies and interesting drinks.
Super friendly and welcoming. Great food!
Many options.
The food is delicious! Many authentic grocery selections too
Empanada are sooooo delicious, love the staff and the atmosphere, bought so many hot sauces and food to take home. Closest thing to Mexico. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic authentic food! Stopped to check it out and decided to have lunch. Good people and great food! Got to give it a try! Also sells pre-made frozen and fresh grocery items. I never review anything, but was impressed with this little place.
Nice people very eager to serve you and cleanliness
Great place however La Tortilla comes second to Taco Shell in Sidney BC 2367 Beacon Av for Mexican cuisine. I suggest they should add a bit more zest to La Tortillas menu and try avoid offering an ordinary fast food Mexican food menu
Ceviche was pretty good
What a gem of a place! Will definitely be back!!
A great addition to the Westshore in this authentic deli and grocery. Great selection of sauces, spices and fresh ingredients for excellent at home mexican cooking. Also, a must try is there ready made hot food items, we tried the enchiladas and were impressed! In case youre in the area looking for a cold treat, they also sell Foothills Creamery hard icecream by the scoop!
Cute place, great food and happy people.
Best Chicken Tamales In the city Go there Get some!
Great little place. Even carry Topo Chico
Great food, value and customer service.
The owner is very helpful and super friendly. The store is filled with an abundance of Mexican food and treats , I highly recommended it
Excellent little spot. The soup was amazing, highly recommend as well as the empanadas. Definitely will be back to try their tacos :)
What a wonderful find! The service was warm, helpful and very friendly. The ready-to-eat selections are absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back!
Yes nice clean store and assortment of great Mexican products. When I entered people were eating & their food looked amazing. Was wanting to try but the cashier guy said he ran out of food and only had take and bake enchiladas to go. I wanted to eat in the restaurant not take home. Maybe Ill try another time and give 5 stars.
We came up to the door 5 min after closing time and they waved us in to get a couple of ice-cream cones. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back! Next time I will grab some tortillas and some nice mexican cheese for taco night Thank you!
Great food
Incredible place! The owner was very friendly and helpful. We had green and red tamales and a flan, all of it delicious. It was also fun to look around and see the groceries available. Ill definitely be back for more!
I bought everything in the store!! Dinner salsa dessert suckers icecream!! Everything was excellent.
So happy to have found this place. They carry amazing selection of Mexican goods. Plus, everythings super clean and thats something I really appreciate. Also the staff is very kind.This will be my Mexican store to go from now on.
Love this place. As someone who has spent some time living like a local in mexico, this store has all the staples one would need. Chicharrones de Harinas, Sidral Mundet, Horchata, this place has it all. Ricardo and family are super friendly and happy to help you out. Thank you for opening in Langford.
Everything you need to make you Tacos taste like Mexico. They have all the spices and sauces. Try the marinated pastor. Awesome
WOW!! What an amazing selection of food. Great place to shop for cooking supplies. Delicious home made food, incredible selection of spices and much more.
The hot food is amazing! You must try it!
Great selection, reasonable prices, super friendly and fun owners.
Great place to get all the hard to find items for Mexican cuisine. Staff are very friendly and eager in assisting to help find what you need.
They have everything from duvalines and Carlos V, to guajillo and piquin chiles. I tried the red and green tamales and the chicken tacos, and they were very delicious. Highly recommended.
They have an excellent selection of Mexican foods and treats.
For sure 5 stars. This is real Mexican food. We ate Chicken Tacos, Chilles Rellenos and a Quesadilla. Lovely family run joint. Support a small & worthy business and let them take your tastebuds to Mexico as well!
