If you can’t get to Mexico but have a craving for the food, a drive to this tiny room off Beacon Avenue in Sidney (Greater Victoria) might save you. Generous portions of hearty Mexican and Tex-Mex fare washed down with a margarita will have you forgetting your troubles, at least temporarily, and prices are cheap — think chicken or beef quesadillas served with salad for under $10. Don’t miss the San Antonio dip ($5.95), a blend of cheeses, refried beans, salsa and sour cream baked until bubbling and served with freshly made tortilla chips. Closed Mondays. Open Tuesday - Sunday, 11 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Reservations strongly recommended.

Anyone who has run their own restaurant will tell you the hours are horrendous. You never get a day off and the minute you set money aside, you have to spend it. The day the bar fridge breaks down is the same one that the toilets flood. The pilot light in the oven won’t work, all of your deliveries are late and you need to act as if you don’t have a care in the world because it’s your job to put other people at ease – even when someone complains about the food after they have eaten every bite of it.
