Another little hidden gem in the City. It had a fabulous reputation of being the best Tacos in the city. I was not disappointed. We had a mix of fish and chicken. The guacamole was fabulous and offset the green chili sauce. We didn't venture near the habanero sauce as the green packed a lovely punch. Averaging 9 bucks a Taco, it was a great experience. Servers were very welcoming and responsive. Highly recommended.

Excellent night at El Camino on Elgin. The tacos were excellent, the atmosphere was great and the beer and margarita were spot on. Good value and looking forward to returning. Had the Ox Tongue, the Pork Belly and the Fish.

Absolutely amazing tacos. Everything is full of flavour. My favourite was the ribeye, but they all tasted great. I had ribeye, fish, chicken and beef. The lemonade also hit the spot! 2-3 tacos are plenty, but I skipped apps and did 4 tacos to try a bunch. So good!

Came to Ottawa on a work trip and this was within walking distance to where I was and I was very impressed. The tacos were great. They were a bit busy so I felt like they took a bit longer to arrive but it was worth the wait. The drinks were also good but again it was busy so they did forget one of my drinks in the middle of my dinner. I believe my favourite one was the pig head taco. Amazing. If you see it on the menu - get it. Quite pleased overall with the restaurant as a first timer in the city and was worried that there wouldn’t be great spots but this is a good hidden gem.

We recently had some tacos. Each bite offered a wonderful symphony of flavors and textures. The ingredients tasted incredibly fresh, which is always a sign of a quality establishment. We particularly enjoyed the savory fillings that were generously portioned. The tortillas themselves were perfectly prepared, adding a lovely warmth and softness to the overall dish. It's clear that a great deal of care goes into crafting these culinary delights. We would certainly recommend this taco experience to anyone seeking a satisfying meal. Overall, it was a very positive and enjoyable dining occasion.

I came here for drinks while visiting my family in Ottawa and I ordered the piña colada and my cousin got the paloma. both drinks came very well presented in tall cups and not too much ice! they were tasty. but the star of the night were the chips & salsa. the in-house made salsa was so delicious. it had the nicest sweet taste with a solid kick of spice all blended so perfectly together. the portion was huge, but we cleaned the bowl!! I would go back for this salsa, they need to sell these by the jar!
