Reviews for The Barefoot Gecko Cantina Mexicana in Gibsons, BC
VERY Bad experience, went for dinner, it was busy but they accomodate a table for us, BIG mistake, the service was extremely... slow, sorry but waiting 1 hour and 30 minutes for that food, it is definately not worth it. The food was just ok, nothingespecial neither 100% authentic, please do not call a dish its Mexican name when it does not taste even closer to the realthing. The horchatas were not nice either..... This review is coming from a Mexican that knows her food. What is up with thewarm salsa????? I was not able to put it in my food, and I was left with bland dishes Read more
The aura was nice but the service and food was not so great. Food portions are pretty small and it took forever to receive the... drinks, food and desserts. Drinks and food didn?t taste good. Pina colada cheesecake was good. Not ideal if you are looking forauthentic Mexican restaurants. Kinda felt little racism at the front desk when we walked in. Read more
Wasn't overly impressed. The mojito was way too sweet and there was no fresh lime or mint in it. They were able to bring some... extra soda water but I clearly wasn't too happy as the drink was like a sweetend lemonade. Also, they ran out of rice that wassupposed to come with the tacos but when our tacos came out, they didn't even bring out the beans. We had to ask about it.Service was fair but not great. Read more
I would rate this hidden Jewel a 8 stars out of 5 If you are visiting or just passing by, I would highly recommend you reserve a... table here for dinner, the food here is best in the province and trust me when I make mention of this as I am a Mexican cuisinetrue critic. Don?t take my word for it. This place has magic! My respects to the talented and attentive staff! Thank you Elleand Carlos I had a great experience at this unique Mexican restaurant Read more
We got a last minute table last night and very thankful we did! The margarita was delicious and the tacos were excellent! We... would definitely recommend to a friend looking for a fantastic authentic experience! Read more
The outdoor patio was nice and clean. Food was incredibly flavourful. Margaritas were great and the Fish Tacos were the standout... dish of our meal. The Beef Flautas were a perfect appetizer and the Beef Chimichangas were delicious. Would visit again. Read more
Beautiful and charming restaurant where the decor really has character. The food is the finest we found on this island with the... tacos and the soups being top notch. The pork tacos in particular are incredibly delicious to the point where I ordered anotherround of tacos instead of tequilas . We tried the dessert Flan and it was amazing. Definitely going back here another timebefore we leave the island. Last but not the least the service was excellent. Highly recommend a visit to this place. Read more
An absolute NO GO with kids. Our mistake was to arrive there hungry. Sorry guys, next time we'll do better and bring our own... snacks. We had to wait for everything including complimentary water. While local regulars received all the attention from ourwaitress, we had to wait: - 30 minutes to make an order - 1 hour to get kid size quesadillas and tacos - 30 minutes for thefreaking BILL We came at 7 pm and left after 10 pm. It took us 30 minutes to eat. The rest time we spent waiting... Our nachosnever arrived, tacos were late, had to reorder a side of FRIES TWICE: kids were mad, parents were frustrated and verydissatisfied. Absolute let down. Read more
