BLOWIN UP YOUR SPOT – EL PULGARCITO RESTAURANTE
POSTED November 12, 2009 BY Bob Kronbauer
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!

The increase of Latino eateries in the last few years are a pretty welcome trend being that was one of the main types of restaurants that were missing from the city before.

$5 with only a 5 minute wait – this is Latino fast food at it’s finest.
