Best Fish Tacos in the Northwest period. I absolute love this place. I get up to Victoria for work once every other year and I come here every time. I normally go for two Wild Salmon Tacones (tacos wrapped-up like hand roll sushi). It may not sound like a lot of food but trust me this is all you really need. However, if you are feeling especially hungry you can get a side of the half order of spicy seafood poutine. Not much spice to it but definitively delicious especially when you pick out a piece of fish in the glob of sauce and french fries. Whoever came up with this is a genius. In fact I was told by a fellow customer that the executive chef at Red Fish Blue Fish appeared on Top Chef Canada.

The location is right on the pier creating a very scenic view with your meal. Being in the North West you should also expect rain and/or the cold. Make sure you are prepared because there is limited covered seating.

Also, there will be a line! Be patient because it is worth it.

So in summary, for about $10 you can pick up two tacone and feel good you are eating 100% sustainable sourced fish.

After a night of drinking in Toronto this really hit the spot. Definitely a hole in the wall but they take the time to make your late-night burrito right. Keep that in mind as it does take a little longer for your burritos to be made but they will be perfectly grilled with a little crunchiness on the outside. I got the halibut on wheat with everything. The crunchiness of the halibut with the softness of the beans, rice, and cheese was my favorite part of the burrito. Unfortunately it was a little more than $10 ($11.25 after tax to be exact). However, I liked this place so much I came back for a quick lunch the next day before heading to the airport; this time I got the Chicken burrito which was less than $10 but still very good.

There’s really only three seat in the whole place and can probably only hold eight people in the whole place standing. But if you insist on eating at the location there also a bench on the outside. I would however, recommend to take it to go while you stumble back to your hotel or apartment.

Toronto is a pretty expensive city this was the only meal I had less than $10 but probably one of my favorites.

It’s always a struggle for me whether Saigon Deli or Seattle Deli makes the better Vietnamese deli food. So I am taking the easy way out and just declaring a draw. I enjoy both of these places and both are really really cheap. The deciding factor for which deli I get food from normally depends on which one is closer to where I am or whichever I had most recently (I like to switch it up). Despite the similarities, I really enjoy each of these places for different reasons. My favorite sandwich at Saigon Deli is the BBQ Pork (compared to the chicken sandwich at Seattle Deli). I also enjoy the lunch/dinner items here better than Seattle Deli. But it really depends on what is on the menu that day. For under $10 you can pick up two banh mis and a coffee or a banh mi and a combo rice plate.

When ordering here be prepared for a line no matter what time you show up. No worries though the lines move very quick. There is a small parking lot on the east side of the building…a huge plus considering meter maids are no joke in this area.
