44 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. :)“

“Great service - the staff were super nice and really fast. The quality of food was awesome too, and they didn't hold back on the meat like other places do. The seating areas are very comfortable and the washrooms very clean. Salsas are fresh and with spicy options, though not the hottest options around if that's your thing. This will be my new go-to chain for burritos and the like :) Highly recommended.“

“I had a ground beef taco, a chicken taco, a pulled pork taco and a small burrito. The food was all really good. The chef was really friendly and accommodating. The taco are stuffed way better than I expected and the price was very good.

I enjoyed the sauces and fresh lime as well.

I don't know that I would necessarily cross town specifically to eat there, but if I was in the area for something else I'd be very tempted to stop in.“

“Amazing food!! Owners are so nice & friendly! Will definitely be back!!“

“We love this burrito place - we always get the loaded waffle fries, breaded chicken burrito bowl, and shrimp burrito bowl. Everything is usually very delicious, and it’s our favourite place to order every Friday. However, they recently changed their packaging to foldable boxes, which is very inconvenient to eat because the flaps keep closing and the portions are slightly smaller. Please bring back the circular cardboard containers!“
