Review from Matthew L.

It's open until 8PM and it's an actual storefront. The menu is actually somewhat larger than that of the cart on Cook Street and they serve FISH TACOS!
But for some reason, I don't find my mole to be as flavourful at this location as it is at the cart. Perhaps this is just my perception, as a wooden cart on an empty lot is more charming than a metal and red hued storefront located in a charmless shopping mall.
No matter what, it's still delicious and a great addition to my side of the Johnson Street Bridge. -

La Taquisa is definitely a nice, cheap, relatively healthy fast food option for Esquimalt (and Cook St. Village via the cart by the same name). The vegan option is basically just beans, and boy do they ever give you a lot of refried beans on your tacos, which is fine. The salsas are decent. It's no La Taqueria in Vancouver, but it's as close as Victoria appears to have come. The staff are helpful and friendly.

La Taquisa trumps all the other taco locations in town in my opinion and I'm so glad they've opened up a new location that's much closer to me than Cook street.
Recently opened close to the booster juice in West Side Village, La Taquisa has a winning formula, quality ingredients, fresh items all around, locally sourced meat, great variety of offerings (all your regular meats plus veggie or bean options, fish, etc), engaging and fun staff, funky cool interior and totally reasonable prices. If I can get stuffed full for $12 or less, I consider it a great value. Another small thing that I love is that they don't overcharge for sides like guacamole or sour cream, 50 cents per container I believe it costs, while other places will charge well over double that. The employees are more than happy to share any details about the business with you and are warm and welcoming. Each taco is actually pretty significant in size as well, these are tacos that you'd have a tough time taking down in two bites, even for me they're at least 4 solid bites. They have 5 (if I remember correctly) levels of spicy for their salsas, ranging from the tame salsa verde (which is not very spicy at all, but has a very nice fresh flavour) to the semi insane super spicy which was as far as I could tell, 90+% diced habanero peppers, not for the feint of heart or palate.
I could go on much longer, but find out for yourself, go try out this great new taco location now!
Minor update: they now serve chicken mole tacos YESSS!
