“I come here literally all the time because it's so cheap and consistently tasty. I've never had a bad experience here and the tacos revive me whenever I'm having a bad day (or week, or month, or year). Service has always been friendly and I wouldn't change a thing about the place.“

“From the food and drinks to the service and the ambiance, I honestly feel like I’m in Montréal whenever I eat here. It’s definitely become my favourite restaurant in Ottawa. Everything on the menu is to die for and the spicy margaritas are some of the best I’ve ever had. We were there on a Wednesday evening and it was so lively that I would’ve thought it was a Saturday evening!“

“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. :)“

“We had to come twice during our stay. It was so good. We had the burritos, the quesadillas, and the tacos, and every single dish was a hit with our family. We regularly enjoy Mexican and press our own tortillas at home, so we hold things to a high standard in this place, exceeded expectations. It's a market stall with nice tables surrounding it, but the service was incredible. They would come and check on us, opening our jarritos with a bottle opener, making sure we knew about the salsa bar and how to help ourselves.

Really fun spot.“

“Yummy taco lunch & friendly service on Cinco de Mayo.“

“Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish!! The food was so impressive and flavourful!! Highly recommend!! Today was my first visit and it definately won’t be my last!!!“

“Ok seriously this place is exceptional. I was surprised that it wasn't advertised anywhere on the street, but when I tried their food I saw why no advertising was needed. It's home cooked meals, original dishes and drinks, and such a friendly service you feel like family. It was packed within a few minutes of getting there, but it didn't get too loud. You could still hold a conversation easily without raising your voice.

Cherry on top of the cake was the plethora of gluten free options. I'm celiac so this was just amazing to see and I will 100% be coming back because there are so many things on the menu I want to try!“

Ottawa’s best kept secret? I will definitely be come back and recommend this place for a great time!“

“love this place! I saw their post about birria ramen and it sounded so good. I asked my partner to pick some up for me. It turns out that it wasn't actually a menu item yet but the lovely staff still made it for me. 10/10 it was amazing! thank you so much 😍“

“Just received the best burrito of my life from this place. It was massive- perfect because I am so hungover. The tortilla was stretched to its absolute limit- filled with the best pork, beans, corn, lettuce,onions and sauce I have ever had. And let me talk about the cheese. There was no skimping on cheese here. I had this delivered and when it got to my door the cheese was still perfectly melty. And it still is now as I type this. I wont lie this burrito fell apart half way through eating it, but now I get to enjoy the most perfect burrito bowl. I love burritos, and I've eaten them at alot of places, both here in ottawa and in montreal. I've been having about a burrito a week for like 5 years now and this is it. This is best one. Please if you do anything for yourself today, get yourself a burrito gringo burrito. And tip the staff good. They never skimp (all too common now at Chipotle and mucho burrito and all the others) and they always treat you so good. Please“
