The large patio is a real highlight, especially for families. There's plenty of space, and kids have room to play while everyone enjoys the meal. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to spend time with family or friends.

We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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. :)“

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

“It’s now my only go-to food truck. My favourite is the jerk chicken taco, the flavours are so well balanced. Hubby’s favourite is the Fish taco. Friendly staff, and I love the touch that they don’t make guests stand around, they deliver your food to the available picnic tables (when there’s seating available, they’re that busy at lunchtime) or to wherever you’re standing.“

“I had a bowl there and it was amazing! The employee who was working was super kind and welcoming, and they were very generous with the portions. The bowls were really full and packed with food. Great service and great value — I’ll definitely come back!“

“Delicious food and the most warm customer service. This wonderful establishment makes authentic mexican food.“

“Great food, great service and a great laid-back location. Only negative thing is that I could not eat every item on the menu while I was there and that it is a 7 hour flight from my home in Denmark. The Diego sauce is so tasty if you can handle the heat! This will be my go-to when I visit Ottowa again at some point!“

“the food was amazing and the service was great! definitely recommend!!“

“A nice place to have Mexican food. It is cheap but delicious. Portions are huge. Open buffet salad bar is a bonus. Plenty of options to choose from. Vegetarian options as well. Location is great, right in the middle of ByWard Market area. Parking is always a problem if you drive. Overall if you’re in the area you can go and eat there.“

“we went today and everything was top notch👍 we love their soups, all unique flavors of sauces, dessert and service was super friendly, just like you are in Cancun🥧🥘🌮🍛“

“I really enjoy this place! There have many menu options for all tastes. It's a great addition to the neighbourhood.
The only downside is that they can be victims of their success. I waited over 30 minutes for two tacos and there was limited seating but they were delicious!“

Salsa bar at table side was fantastic. The there was the service, attentive when needed, happy, not pushy, amazing experience. I will make this my goto Mexican place from now on.

“The food here is delicious. And, they offer vegetarian/vegan options and alternatives too, that tastes great! I would absolutely recommend their tofu option for protein!! However, the food options here can be a bit pricey when purchasing food for 2 or more.“

“I took my grand children here for a healthy $5.95 lunch! Burrito, salsa and chips, and a drink. They both ate everything.“

“God I love this place so much. It’s where I take myself on dates. Home comfort environment and birria tacos to make your taste buds wonder where this has been your whole life. Service is always wonderful. I’ve tried many of the other tacos and they’re all great as well. The sauces they bring to the table are also so damn good. The green sauce is so refreshing, and the red/orange one is flavourful with a perfect kick that doesn’t last too long. All in all I love this place and will continue to come for solo dates. I want to just say thank you to you guys at La Vaca Mexicana for bringing me so much joy when I come here“

“Meilleur grill mexicain que jai manger! Portion plus que généreuse! Saveur excellente! Prix abordable! Je suis devenu accro à ce resto hahaha“

“We had a great experience at Fat Bastard Burrito! We ordered the chicken empanada, beef empanada, and the ground beef burrito, and everything was delicious. The empanadas were crispy and flavorful, and the burrito was fresh, filling, and packed with great taste.

The staff were also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and informative. They took the time to answer our questions and made us feel well taken care of. Great food and excellent customer service... we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Recently took a trip to ottawa to visit my nephew and we decided to do some shopping at bayshore mall. I hadn't tried bar burrito in a long time and I was blown away by the flavours and service. I usually dont like spicey food because sometimes my dish ends up being too spicey, but the people behind the counter were very helpful in explaining how spicey each sauce was.“

“Last night my daughters and I were blessed to have the opportunity to have experienced going to Yakko Takko. It was a very welcoming delightful fun personalized experience. Not only is the idea of a taco truck genius but he has made this an experience. Personalizing meals to the level of spice and taking the time to make sure u enjoy ur meal. Hot 1-10??? My girls and I got 3-5. Thank goodness. Mucho caliente!!! I highly recommend this amazing Hidden gem and beauty in the heart of hintonburgh!!! Right beside dollarama on somerset but look up!“

“The food is basically top notch for Mexican food in the city. So wholesome it makes you feel like you're eating grandmas meals. Amazing food. An absolute must for any Ottawa resident“

“Great! Really good food. So good.“

“We generally have a positive experience at a different location of barBurrito. The food is always fresh. There is a good variety of meats from which to choose.
The restaurant chain changed the bowl used for the burrito bowl meal a while back. Although the meal is a fair bit smaller than the original size. It's still sufficient.
I ordered the beef bowl and enjoyed it as usual. The Mister ordered the spicy chicken burrito. I think that's his favorite.
The bar height benches are pretty uncomfortable at this location because there is nothing to rest your feet on. The bar stools across from the benches are fine.
The atmosphere is basic cafeteria.“

“Hola muy buen lugar Exquisito ‼️✌️😘“
