Place was great and I loved my tacos but the service was a bit slow and understaffed.
My biggest complaint though is to please stop serving arepas. They were extremely sad and bland and not authentic at all, and I’m not even Venezuelan but it felt disrespectful to the Venezuelans to serve that as an arepa void of any flavour or presentation.
Overall would definitely come back but only for Mexican dishes.

Absolutely delicious authentic Mexican food! Our Mexican friend was impressed. Salsas are so tasty, good depth of flavour and a HUGE variety of dishes! Vegan and vegetarian options are also so tasty! Can’t wait to come again. I got the Quesa Birria and my mouth was dancing with happiness

Very disappointed in this restaurant. We are a celiac family and we ordered from this restaurant for the first time, through DoorDash, noting that their website claimed “100% gluten free”. I even wrote in the special instructions that we had a gluten allergy and if there was any issue, to call me.
Well, a couple hours later and my husband and I are having allergic reactions to the food we ate. I feel VERY mislead. This restaurant is NOT safe for people with gluten allergies.

As a gluten free person, this place is perfect! Delicious food and even a little pantry for things you might need for your own Mexican cooking. The pozole soup is so good! I loved the music too :)

I always like to frequent authentic Mexican restaurants in Ottawa, and this one is good! The food was delicious, a bit overpriced for the quantity, but good. The seating is a little limited, so I would avoid going if you’re a full group because you’re not guaranteed to have seat. The atmosphere was good, clean spot with clean facilities. Overall would recommend this spot!

Fantastic tacos! All three of us loved our food. We did eat outside, which was our choice. Not much atmosphere out there. Fun nevertheless! We would go back!

I don’t appreciate the fact that there is a big sign in front that advertises a $15 breakfast special, but when you arrive and sit-down, the waiter informs you there is in fact no special, no huevos for you!!! We’ve walked down Somerset many times and have seen the sign and finally decided to try it last Sunday, there was no breakfast. We were already there and were not keen on going anywhere else, so we decided okay we might as well just order from the lunch menu, because the place has to have good tacos right? That could probably make up for not receiving my huevos rancheros and instead having to munch on mole chicken tacos at 10am right? Wrong!! My girlfriend’s tacos were good, but mine were bland, cold and the mole chicken tasted like it was made the night before. Disappointed! It was pretty outside though.
Delicious food, fantastic service. Really impressed with the variety of options for vegetarians and vegans - including three different types of tofu toppings for the tacos and burritos. We will definitely come back here again!

While exploring Ottawa on a recent trip, I was craving Mexican food and decided to try La Fiesta Latina—it totally lived up to the reviews! 🌮 The food was flavorful and authentic, and the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and welcoming. It’s a small neighborhood gem tucked away with a homely vibe that makes you want to linger. Loved the place, the service, and the ambience—such a delightful find during my visit to Ottawa ✨.”

The food was amazing, the atmosphere reminded me a lot of my time in Mexico, it's all around probably the most authentic and best tasting Mexican and South American restaurant in the city. The only reason I didn't give it a full five stars for service is the wait time for a table, as well as the bill, but it was understandable as he was the only one working the front. When we were served, he was absolutely incredible, super friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Mexican and South American cuisine
