Food decent. Really like the decorations, lots of personality. Experience tarnished due to poor service. It was really hot inside and no AC and no fan. Waiter did not anticipate customer needs (cold water not come for a long time after seated despite constantly fanning ourselves with the menu.) Had to ask for water with ice multiple times as each time given small amount of ice and still fanning ourselves. Hopefully service that day was not the norm. Unfortunately will not go back to confirm.

Liked the atmosphere, liked the staff. The owner was helpful and gracious. The mole was good. The rest of the food leaves a lot of room for improvement.

As a visual statement, Gina's Mexican Cafe is a powerful bold splash of colour in downtown Nanaimo. The building is gorgeous, as is the decor. It is an incredibly busy spot in the downtown scene. There are few parking spots, with more reasonably priced paid parking available across the street. It is suitably loud and vibrant, basically what I would expect in a popular Mexican or TexMex eatery. We had to wait to be seated, and it took quite a while to order and get our food. Given the crowd in there, I have to give them some slack on that point. Our server, who was really nice, did as good a job as she could have been reasonably expected to, given the circumstances. Sadly the food was a bit of a letdown. Maybe my expectations were a little too high. Ottawa is blessed with Mexicali Rosa's and Lone Star Cafe where the mood is vibrant and the food bursting with flavour. I just didn't get that same rush of culinary satisfaction as I did at Baby Salsa, which is sad because I love the mood and presence of being at Gina's... they've nailed that part of the experience. The food was somewhat bland in my humble opinion. I'm going to have to go with 3 stars for the fun atmosphere and decor. Hopefully, I can add a star for food with my next visit.

Place looks great outside and in. Water served was warm and no ice. Great. Opted for a combo dish since everything else is over 12 bucks. Chicken was pulled and diced but you can tell it was waiting in the fridge for sometime. The salad that was on the side was a mix of kale, baby lettuce, served with shredded cheese and canned diced tomatoes. Nice and sour. The best thing about the dish I got was the cheese quesadilla on the bottom. The two sauces served was pretty sour as well. For the time spent waiting, I thought the tomatoes would be fresh. Not coming back. Overstaffed, slow service. I can see why my mom just makes most of these dishes herself now.

The atmosphere is fun and very Mexican. The service was adequate but without gusto. The food was classic heaps of beans, corn and rice with your main drowning in red sauce and cheese, but the prices were over expectations for the quality of the entire experience.
