Pajo's Fish & Chips - YVR

Ordered the cod and halibut. The batter is perfectly crispy on the outside, and both fish pieces taste fresh and delicious. The only downside is that the halibut portion is a bit small considering the price.

Ordered an Everything burger, came with fries, costed $23 in Sep. 2025. I'd say decent airport price. The burger was pretty good. Fresh, nice balance of the meat, bacon and vegetable nicely with light seasoning. I liked it a lot. While it was busy at the lunch time, I waited only for 10 mins., which wasn't bad. The guy at the counter was nice and helpful. I would have given fiver stars, if I didn't see the promotion for writing a fiver star review on the served ad paper. I know, it's an unfortunate business effort, but to me it looks like a manipulative tactics to stack the deck, ruinning employees' effort s at the store. It was enough to make me drop a star to four. Again, the food and service were good

Amazing halibut fish tacos! Crispy and light batter, generous portions - so delicious 😋 can't wait to return back to Vancouver to enjoy PaJo's again.

Fresh, krispy not greasy at all. Really good flavor and portions.I like the mayonnaise deep 🫶!! It was an excellent choice before heading back to Mexico.

My past experiences ordering from Pajo's have been consistently positive, with fresh and well-prepared food. Unfortunately, my recent order was quite disappointing. The fish breading was noticeably overfried, and the fish itself was overcooked. Additionally, the accompanying fries were dry and soggy, rendering the meal unfinishable. I would rate the food 2.5 out of 5 stars. Furthermore, I must point out that the fish tasted distinctly of shrimp, likely due to being fried in the same oil. This practice is a serious concern for customers with shellfish allergies, as it would preclude them from safely enjoying your offerings. I sincerely hope this feedback is reviewed and addressed. Thank you.

Really good fish and chips! The fries are like high quality homemade frites and the fish is great too. It's honestly a little pricy but that's to be expected with airport food.

I stood at the counter for 10 mins but the lady was too busy talking to her friends, I really enjoy your food but please provide a better training for your employees!

Best food in the YVR airport! The Cod Taco was amazing—crispy on the outside, soft and flaky inside. The slaw and sauce gave it the perfect touch. Super tasty! The Everything Burger was next level. Juicy patty, crispy bacon, fresh toppings, and a soft toasted bun. Every bite was delicious. The ginger beer also great, give it a try! And Esmond, who served me was awesome, super friendly and took the time to explain everything.

Pajo's continues to serve spectacular fish and chips! Visited with my granddaughter two days ago who declared the halibut and chips "Best thing I ever ate!" She was over the moon with the flavour, the crisp batter and the fresh (not frozen) chips. The line moved quickly and we were served in just a few minutes on a busy Saturday. Don't know how they do it! Generous portion of delicious, flaky halibut (the very best fish for fish and chips, in my opinion) in a gorgeous light, crisp batter, endless fries and home-made tartar sauce. Served fresh and hot, there's nothing like it. Plus, it was a glorious sunny day on Pajo's wharf at Steveston. Sun glistening on the sea and fishing boats bobbing in the harbour. "If I had to pick a last meal," said the granddaughter, "this would be it!" Thank you, Pajo's, you made our day at Steveston even better! Highly recommended 11/10!

Fish and chips were delicious. Breading is light and crispy. Fish was perfect. Fries are good.

Saw PAJOs after my 9 hour flight landed, had to eat it since I loved the other location. It was at 10am and the cashier was sitting there. I asked nicely if they were open and he sounds so impatient and rude "yeah u can see the menu ofc we r open". I ordered just cod and it came after a while, it didn't taste fresh, the batter literally couldn't stick to the fish. And the amount of tartar sauce was pathetic. Glad the other location is still good, but I wouldn't come to this location again

Tried the cod fish and chips as well as the halibut fish and chips, both were really good. Made fresh while we waited. Location was nice because it was in the airport terminal before TSA security checks.

Love the Pajo's at the Port Moody location. This one at YVR is so so. Could be the travellers are kind of like prisoners that don't have much of a selection at the limited foodcourt at the YVR? Or it could be good staffs are hard to find at YVR? Who would travel all the way to YVR to work for minimum wage? Anyhoot, found the food offerings not as appealing as other locations. Remarkably not worth it.

I am glad they open early here because I was pretty hungry! We ordered a medium size fish and chips. I believe the portion is smaller than the one at Steveston and priced around the same. The fish pieces are smaller. The batter is not crispy but at least the fish is not dry. It was definitely not meant to be shared. The fries are pretty good. It's not salty. Overall, you can't expect too much for airport food.

I had the 2 piece cod and chips, expecting an excellent nice meal. The fries were good, but both pieces of the cod were tough and chewy. I have never had tough cod before. I would guess it either wasn't really cod or it was very poor quality cod.

A relatively new addition to YVR airport, Pajo's Fish and Chips was initially a nice surprise. I was happy to see a fish and chips shop as one of the options at the food court since I thought BC's reputation for seafood would resonate with travellers. Unfortunately, the fish and chips however are definitely overpriced, the portion is super small and really does enforce the stereotype of expensive airport food. One tiny piece of halibut with fries will set you back $10. In a no-frills food court, I don't think people should expect much, but if i wanted to load up on french fries, I could easily go elsewhere. Overall, I would advise people to avoid and try something else that will fill you up and at least give you something that's worth your value. Greater Vancouver definitely does have good fish and chips, but you won't find them here.

They took away the Asian food I loved, but this place is great, too. Really good fish and all the chips you care to eat. Service was slower than expected, but only because they cooked the food fresh and didn't let it sit under heat lamps. Terrific tartar sauce, crispy filet perfectly cooked. Friendly service.

Cod burger is not worth the money at all. The "patty" is one short strip of fish. I included my finger in the photo for comparison. It might as well be a kid's meal.

Pretty decent fish and chips, especially when considering it's a food court location. They cook your meal to order, so if you are on the go, I would not recommend. If you have some time to kill though, I would definitely recommend. The halibut was very tasty and their batter is nice and crispy. Nice and friendly staff as well. Hope to visit again when I fly thru YVR.

So I've been to the Pajo's original location in Steveston, and I after having recently found out that there is now a location in YVR, I was keen to try it as I often connect thru YVR. The Pajo's is in the International Terminal of YVR, and it's basically a food court location. I decided to go with the Medium Halibut (2 pieces), and chips. I had asked how long and the gal was very precise in telling me 4 minutes... So I took this as a challenge. I got my timer out and timed them.... yup. 4 and a bit minutes. Close enough ! I dug into the halibut and chips ! Oh so delish ! Just like I remember from the Steveston location. So why not 5 stars instead of 4. Well my second piece of halibut was a bit over cooked and dry. Still every bit as good but just not quite as tender and juicy ! Overall, So I had to exit the secured area and head over to the food court in the international terminal - not the end of the world have preferred to remain in the secured area. The fish and chips was delish. Although not quite the ambiance of sitting on the dock in Steveston. But if you are looking for your fix of delish fish and chips... haul yourself over to Pajo's.

Batter is great and the portion is generous. The only thing that keeps me from getting back is the wait time. It is too long to wait for deep fried fish. Unless you are hungry or in a hurry, maybe reconsider your choice.

I'm not really into deep fried greasy food but I was really hungry and decided to have fish taco and fries. It's a great meal deal $6 combo that includes your taco, fries and a drink. Fast service and the cashier up at the front is a great representative of customer service.

Halibut fish and chips before my flight yes please!!! What a great place to have in the YVR airport.

I like their location at Steveston village in Richmond, so decided to take a bite at YVR as well. Got salmon and chips - it tasted amazing! Highly recommend!

Love fish and chip from pajo at Steve stone. Super happy when they open branch at YVR where I work. Finally I can switch to something from Wendy's when I go for burger. Soon u will replace Wendy's with ur great burgers, bottomless drinks and fries refill and much better customer service.

Food is OK. Prices literally doubled overnight. Used to get the fish tacos for under $10 now it's $18-20. Not worth the high price.....disappointing.

Fish is so stale that it feels like rubber. Price is high and poor quality of fish served. Has happened many times now, so it is not a co-incidence.

What ever happened to your food and service? We were a regular in fact we would stay hungry to eat at your airport location before travel! We ate at your airport location before we boarded our flights to Mexico for a vacation. The kitchen was very sloppy with the food and to make things worse we got sick to our stomach on the flights and ruined our first day of vacation because of the food we at at Pajos. We will not be eating at this location again there is something going on with you're burger and onion rings (horrible made this time) or the oil has been re-used too many times with meat in it. The fact still remains that was out first mean of the evening and last for two straight days only because your food gave us the stomach flu. We ordered the veggie burger with onion rings and wife ordered the cheese burger with fries. We both were affected by the food.

Very very very small portions. Overpriced even for the airport. The fish and chips itself was good but I literally got two chicken nugget sized pieces of cod and fried for $15.
