41 Best Mexican Restaurants near Vanier

“The best Quesabirrias I’ve ever had. Almost hesitant to review because I want to keep this place all to myself, but Ottawas best kept secrets never stay secret for long. A must try. Friend has the chicken Tacos and the chicken was one of the most flavourful pieces I’ve had eating out. Real gem in Ottawa.“

“Stopped in to try again after the move and the tacos. The tacos were awesome - especially the Tinga with a great balance of smokiness, heat, and creaminess from the cheese. Beer prices are quite reasonable.
Atmosphere is great, found the din of people talking a tad noisy but manageable.
Would be doing a disservice to yourself not to try them out.

Wow it tantalizes the taste buds. I've been twice (before and after re-opening). It isn't cheap but worth the money. Good portions and the food is unique and delicious. Best fries you'll try.
Hit these boyz up, you'll Tortally love it!“

“Le meilleur petit café du centre-ville d’Ottawa. Il y a beaucoup d’ambiance.“

“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. :)“
