High quality authentic Mexican food available from two “cafeteria-style” service locations. Fast, fresh, delicious and very cheap considering the quality of food. A “Pete’s Pick” for pleasing our palates and our pocketbooks.

Some of the most eclectic 24-hour menu selections in Vancouver. Mexican torta sandwiches, Fritou fried chicken, hamburgers, all-day breakfast, Chinese food, and Vietnamese noodle soup just to name a few (with a clientele as varied as the menu offerings). “Duck and cover” cold war décor with pre-fabricated furniture indestructible enough to survive nuclear Armageddon add to the charm. What more can we say except you might need some Rolaids after a visit to Duffin’s, but who cares when the food is as good and invigorating as these fine offerings.

A cheerful Vietnamese eatery serving generous portions at low prices. A large selection of noodles, soups and rolls with many vegetarian options. Some of Victoria’s best Southeast Asian cuisine.

A cheerful family run kiosk in the Victoria Public Market serving fresh, authentic Mexican cuisine. Tasty, affordable lunch for well under 10 bucks. A burst of Mexican sunshine on a drizzly west coast day. One of our favourites.

Wonderful European style bakery serving cakes and pastries made with love & pride, PLUS a cool old school coffee shop with inexpensive lunch and breakfast specials. A Victoria classic, family owned since 1956.

A combination of deep dive bar, carnival haunted house and an episode of Hee Haw. Take a seat at the burlap-covered stump, enjoy a cold draft and munch on free peanuts. Crazy, cheap, unforgetable. GO!

A terrific, inexpensive Thai restaurant for lunch or dinner. Probably Victoria’s best Thai food and easy to access with 3 locations spread around the City. A “Pete’s Pick” for value and amazing flavour.

Lovingly prepared Indonesian takeout food from a kiosk hidden in Market Square. Chef Bana focuses on a handful of authentic spicy dishes. Why hit the gym when you can work up a curry sweat here?
