Came here as a recommendation for dinner on my first trip to Ottawa. We overall liked the restaurant, staff was friendly & the food was good. On a Sunday night, it was not super busy but there were enough people that it didn’t feel empty inside. A bit pricy but we also got drinks, and most trendy Mexican restaurants are like this these days.To start, I shared guac & chips - no complaints, we enjoyed and it was very fresh. The added tomatoes were nice.I ordered 3 tacos - the beef barbacoa was fine but the portion of dipping jus was tiny for 3 beef tacos. The best taco for me was the tuna tartare crispy taco. Loved the flavours and the fish was just delicious! My friends had the chicken tacos and said they were spicy but they liked them a lot.However, I did not enjoy the ox tongue taco and didn’t finish it. I ordered it because all the reviews about it were so positive, but I didn’t like how they just put two huge pieces of meat in a taco. It tasted very gamey and I didn’t like the spongy texture either.The piña colada cocktail was yummy - I could taste fresh pineapple and it was very creamy.

The general manager is extremely rude and has an attitude like we've never seen before in management. All other saff were very kind.The fish tacos are $9 now as well which is shocking looking back and remembering when they were $3.50 and much larger.

Still a solid restaurant, but unfortunately the quality has been deteriorating, the menu hasn’t really changed, and the prices keep going up. The food are drinks are still good, but I’m nervous if there’s no change in the next year it’ll lose its place.

No one does better fish tacos than El Camino. Top marks for awesome food, atmosphere and service.Their bartenders make amazing cocktails. They have a good tequila selection as well. By far the best fusion mexican restaurant in Ottawa.

Food is definitely good but perhaps a little pricey. Service can be slow but they get very busy so no fault on them. It's a vibe and the cocktails are solid. No amex though which is a shame at this price point.

The food was amazing and is worth 5 stars! The reason for the 3 stars is that the volume is way too loud and having any conversation is extremely difficult. Also they totally missed my wife allergies which was mentioned during the online booking.
