45 Best Mexican Restaurants in Ottawa

“My friend and I wanted to try some Mexican food, so we stumbled upon Torta Boyz online. From the first bite, we were impressed! The food, drinks, appetizers, and desserts were all amazing. The service was fantastic as well. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—I will definitely be returning!“

“I sadly didn't get to eat here. I was lost without my phone and a person who worked there helped me, like we were best friends. He handed me his phone so I could write down directions, without worry, and was incredibly kind to me. If the food is half as good as the people who work there, you should check this place out! :) thank you for helping me and being a good person. It means more than I can say and I wish you health, happiness, and great success. :)“

“What a great experience all around. The guy who served us was super friendly and the food was delicious! I ended up having one of their specials - a mini taco bowl and a drink, it was under $10!!! What I really LOVE about this place is their option for people on a tight budget who also want a meal that is wholesome and well-balanced! This is not the typical grab and go slice of pizza and drink - this mini bowl was hearty and nourishing and it sustained me for the rest of the day! Highly recommend this place!“
