Tasty, healthy, good portions and reasonable prices. They have a bright upbeat decor that makes going here feel like a vacation on a grey winter day. The condiment bar, in house corn chips and black beans are great! Quality does vary from solidly good to amazing depending on who is cooking, but I have never been disappointed.

WOW! This is the best Mexican food I've ever had outside of Mexico. The complimentary Salsa bar is a great touch, the prices are very fair and the vibe is fun! Definitely a must eat in Ottawa.

It was a very cold night, and delicious fresh food at Ahora. Absolutely incredible enchiladas vegetarian for me and plato con polla for my friend. Sides of beans rice salad. Fresh, flavorful, gorgeous food. We tried all the salsa and Pico de gallo. DELICIOSO.
