“Shoutout to Dina at Bar Burrito for the amazing service! She was super friendly, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. She made great recommendations and turned a regular visit into a great experience. You can tell she really takes pride in what she does. Huge thanks, Dina we’ll definitely be back!“

“Tonight was my first time there. Once I got up the stairs (puff puff 😁) I joined the group I was meeting. There was cold water waiting. In no time at all, we were given food menus followed by the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. I didn’t understand a couple of the food descriptions and our Server, Felix, was quick to explain without me feeling like a dope. I ordered a plate (started with a “B”) because it included three differently tasting items. And, a bottle of white wine. The whole group was pleased with the timely delivery of their meals. Mine was delicious - one hot spicy, one less spicy and one full of flavours. Plus, rice, purple cabbage (!) and beans. Everyone liked their menu choices. The portions were large. We ate, not feeling rushed at all. Felix asked if we’d like to take home what was left on our plates…”yes please” and brought take home boxes. I said “I guess the rest of the wine stays here LOL”. Well, Felix just said “no - I can take care of that for you” and he did ! I came home with second dinner - food & wine ! Kudos to Felix and Casa Mexicana for hiring him. I look forward to eating there again !“

“Merci pour cette agréable soirée ! Une soirée entres amies réussit au Azta Taqueria! La bouffe était excellente et votre shooter signature sua coche ✅ Belle découverte! 💡 le serveur et barman sont simplement géniaux et super gentils!“

“I could say a lot of good things about this place but I’ll simply say this : “Do yourself a favour and next time you go to Bar Burrito, go to BON Burrito instead!”. Food is fresh, super tasty and you get quite a bit more for your money.“

“Only been there twice, each time got the Large Chicken Burrito and I find them amazing. I shall return.“

“Noche Maya delivers a first class authentic Mexican dining experience. The breathtaking views, the FIESTA atmosphere, the delicious menu items, a phenomenal staff and much more will leave you wanting to come back for more and more.“

“Première fois et loin d'être là dernière. C'était excellent et service accueillant et chaleureux“

“Freaking love them!!!! ❤️ The Bang, bang shrimp burrito and the extreme fries always a must!!! Never disappointed ever!!! So many options to choose from, always fresh. 100000p% recommend.“

“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!“

“Super busy, we dined in. Their sauces are tasty!!
One plate is 3 tacos and the other is 3 gringas. Love the cheese in gringas. I didn’t like the tongue, it was too overcooked for me. I just chose an odd meat. It’s a good taco spot to try, especially the birria and barbacoa. A bit pricy, if you dont come on tuesday. They have a different flavor that is very good, more juicy than Si Senor, which is my best place to go for tacos 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. :)“

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

“Tasty, healthy, good portions and reasonable prices. They have a bright upbeat decor that makes going here feel like a vacation on a grey winter day. The condiment bar, in house corn chips and black beans are great! Quality does vary from solidly good to amazing depending on who is cooking, but I have never been disappointed.“

“This place has BEEN making the best Mexican food in the market for years.

My mind is blown every time I come back, the meat is great, the beans are great, the salsa selection is awesome, the atmosphere is great.

Grab a few friends and go have a good meal here, NOW!“

“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.“

“Hola muy buen lugar Exquisito ‼️✌️😘“

“A true Mexican taqueria !
Every single taco has its own distinct and authentically Mexican flavour.. incredibly happy to have found this Taqueria in Ottawa!!
We have tried one of each kind of taco as well as the quesobarilla with excellent broth, taquitos and the house made beverages (horchatas, Fresca juices) are perfect!“

“Simply the best! ❤️ Food is awesome and music is great! Service is excellent; staff are always friendly. Highly recommend this nice little spot.“

“My family has been coming to the restaurant for years and never failed us in atmosphere and delicious flavourable food. Friendly staff and always good value. We keep coming for more!“

“Just tried Fat Bastard Burrito and honestly… one of the best fast-food experiences I’ve had in a while 🌯🔥
The portions are huge (they definitely live up to the name), and everything tasted super fresh. I built my own burrito and it was packed with perfectly seasoned meat, fresh veggies, and their sauces that add the perfect kick without overpowering the flavour. Every bite was loaded and satisfying.
The staff were friendly, fast, and really patient while I customized my order, which made the whole experience even better. The place was clean, the service was quick, and the food came out hot and fresh.
If you’re looking for a filling meal that actually tastes fresh and homemade rather than typical fast food, Fat Bastard Burrito is definitely worth checking out. Huge portions, great flavours, and awesome service. I’ll 100% be coming back! 🌯. Thank you amazing staff“

“I caught up with an old friend today for lunch and we couldn't have picked a better restaurant. The food was delicious and the margaritas amazing - both the regular one and the strawberry one. The decor is charming, fun and colourful. Our server took good care of us. We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“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.“

“Food, atmosphere and service was great as was the view.“

“Thank you for the wonderful meal. Very tasty! My partner and I ordered the peanut satay and lil'terry, it was delicious. Flavourful and cozy! We both agree that we would order it again. We ordered through Uber but agreed to just order in person next time. The portions were a little smaller than we thought they would be even so the pricing is still very good.“
