Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence

"Great wraps and huge selection of salads. All freshly prepared ingredients that are cut each morning. Tex Amex but also wide range of other foods. Great for take out or eat in. Not fancy but great lunch spot for different fare."

One of our many fans on Trip Advisor

"I loved it here in Delicados Courtenay. A great spot tucked by the bridge giving you plenty to watch while having lunch. A lovely patio full of sunshine. The décor was bright and jolly. Service fantastic and the food was fresh, tasty and filling. They served a fabulous ginger beer (non alcoholic) as well as soft drinks and beer. The burritos were so good and I loved the salads. I will go there next time I am in town. Well worth the visit."

"Awesome. Have been waiting for Delicados to come to Courtenay and I wasn't disappointed. Went for lunch today for a South West rollup and it was deeeelicious. Cool place with good atmosphere and great music and of course as always excellent food!"

"Don't try to keep your fingers clean at Delicado's; you can always lick off the chipotle sauce and black bean and corn salsa after you finish one of the handheld roll-ups. (These people were into wraps before they became the latest cooking rage.) The cafe/deli in an old machine shop near Heritage Mews attacts a mixed Birkenstock, yuppie, and student crowd, who savor good, solid, spicy soups or burritos and enchiladas and who can finish up with a wildberry chocolate square before they head off with a parcel of take-out."

"I'm not going to tell you about Delicado's. No! Uh, Uh. Cause if I do, I know what'll happen - I'll never again be able to get a seat out back, by the rock, under the cherry tree.

If I tell you about the "Shrimp" or "Chicken Roll Ups," a kind of old world burrito with Chipotle sauce and fresh tomatoes n' stuff, or the Hummus, Tabouleh and crunchy salads...I mean, if I let everbody know that you can get lunch with a great salad and drink for around seven bucks, I'm out waiting in line with the rest of you.

Maybe I should pretend that the Deli/Take-out is all they do. Yes. Come on down and get all you want to take back to the office. Just keep your elbow out of my eye while I try to finish my Mango Smoothie."

"Delicado's deli case bursts with vibrant colors, as does the black-board menu announcing an array of salads, wraps, soups, and plates of enchiladas, tostadas, and burritos in jewel-toned chalk. Those who crave healthy, innovative fare (like me) will be in heaven at Delicado's, where everthing is made from scratch on the premises daily..." Read the full article.

“We've been eating here for many, many years (veggie rollup, X-hot for the MC; southwest chicken, X-hot, extra cheese, sprouts instead of spinach for the DJ) as it is an outstanding local business run by wonderful people who make wonderful food, so we're exceptionally pleased to shout loudly about their contributions to CHLY!” -MC Mic Control and DJ Doc
