El Camino is a popular restaurant in Ottawa, best to book ahead on weekends as it can get busy. The atmosphere is lively, not empty but not overwhelmingly crowded. The staff is friendly, and the food is generally good but a bit pricey, typical for trendy Mexican spots. The guac & chips were fresh and tasty, with a nice touch of tomatoes. The tacos varied in quality - the beef barbacoa was decent, but the tuna tartare taco was a standout with delicious flavors. The chicken tacos were spicy but enjoyable, while the ox tongue taco was less impressive, with a gamey taste and odd texture. The piña colada cocktail was a highlight, creamy and full of fresh pineapple flavor. Overall, El Camino offers a mixed experience with some hits and misses in their menu.
