I went to El Caminos yesterday for a friends birthday. I am 5 months pregnant and requested a booth since it’s problematic for me to use their high top seating. They said no, I sat uncomfortably in their high top chairs, barley fitting in them the entire night.The first round of Taccos took nearly 25 minutes to get to us.My husband ordered a lemonade and that took 15 minutes to get to us.No parking.The music was so loud I couldn’t communicate with my friends. The bathrooms are not pregnant friendly, very small.The food was good although my husband and I got sick from their beef Taccos.All and all - it’s fun for a younger, nimble crowed. I wouldn’t say it’s a great time for people who want to enjoy their company and be comfortable sitting.

Great taco options, but pricey!Service has been so slow the few times I have been. In 2023, tacos are over $8 for one. They do taste great, so it's worth the treat. I'd come here more often if prices were more reasonable. The menu is quite creative.

I enjoyed the fish taco and spicy Margherita. The guacamole and chip appetizer was great, super fresh and delicious. But I didn’t like the chorizo taco. The flavor wasn’t great, there was an odd aftertaste and the dressings reminded me of homemade tacos, there was nothing exciting or unique. Another pain point is that the tacos didn’t come out together. I received all my food while the other person with me had no food. It took so long for the her food to arrive that I had to choose between being polite and eating cold pricey tacos or eating in my very hungry guest’s face. At a table for two, it shouldn’t be really hard to time getting the food at the table at the same time. They also don’t take reservations which is pretty annoying. Having lived in Toronto, I understand the “hype” of these types of places and why they don’t do reservations etc., but it’s an added nuisance, especially during bad weather.

Their ox tongue and fish tacos used to be my absolute favorites. However, the taste has not been as enjoyable as it used to be recently. their guacamole and chips continue to impress with exceptional flavors. The margaritas deserve a perfect 5 out of 5 rating for their outstanding quality. Poor customer service.

Busy place! Delicious tacos and cocktails. Really creative flavours. Fun atmosphere. Didn’t like the communal serving style of putting all the tacos the table ordered on the same two plates. Had to figure out which tacos were which, and who they were for. Pretty expensive.

Delicious taco with plenty of options to suit the different tastebud and tongue preference. The crispy taco was definitely a hit, really liked the one with chorizo filling. The regular taco was also great, and has some more adventurous option like ox tongue (although this one wasn’t really our table’s favourite). The pork belly pastor (with pineapple topping) is a must-try item!

1st time here. Great food and drinks with selections not readily seen elsewhere. My first time having fish tacos, loved it. Will definitely go back next time I visit Ottawa

The tacos were amazing! There were so many different kinds of taco, I would love to try each of them. The ingredients were fresh and healthy, service was great. Highly recommend to people who want to try Mexican food.

My friends & I went on a taco tour around Ottawa this last Saturday and made sure to try this location.The server was super friendly & very helpful regarding the menu. & the overall service was pretty quick for a busy Saturday night.However, as someone with a gluten (& dairy) allergy I was pretty disappointed in my lack of options. I choose to do a taco tour as it’s normally one of the most allergen friendly meals but of all the places (6) we tried, El Camino was the only place without corn shells of any kind. I was given a lettuce wrap with only two filling choices to accommodate the allergy.Considering the price, I’d go back for the guac and drinks, but id leave out the tacos.

Such a unique underground ambience vibe to the restaurant. Tacos were tasty, the calamari was very good, the churros were very moist with a nice crisp. we tried the house lager on tap, it was very interesting with the salt rim. The price for 1x taco was a little on the pricey side. The chorizo, pork belly and fish tacos were delicious. We tired the tartare taco it was interesting but wasn’t a favourite. Service was good and food came out fast.
