If you haven’t been to El Purgarcito on Hastings near Nanaimo you have not yet lived, my friend. The $5 price tag on their delicious daily lunch special (Thursdays is enchiladas with rice and beans) is so unbelievable that I didn’t get a photo of it because I was rushing through lunch hoping they didn’t realize their mistake before they handed me the bill. Here’s a couple of details of the decor, please note the awesome avocado napkin holder as it is but the tip of the iceberg. Get some.

Apologies if this is your spot and I’m blowin it up!
