Tacos & Margs? what's not to love?!The service here is INCREDIBLE. Every single member of their team was engaging, friendly and genuinely seemed happy to be there. It made the atmosphere feel relaxed and uplifting.The food and drinks are also top notch! Loved the cauliflower taco, fish taco and the Pina colada!

Great tacos. Oxe tongue taco and crispy fish taco are 5/5.Service is weak. And this place needs a sound absorbing panels ASAP! Its so loud in there and makes it a very unpleasant experience to dine in!!

Great spot for tacos + drinks. Got various types of tacos to try (Lamb Quesabirria, Pollo Asado Taco, Chrispy Fish Taco) and were all delicious. Especially matched well with the Margarita.

Take out pictures never do it justice. Love the flavours from the eggplant tacos. I’ve tried many of their other tacos but always go back to getting this one. I literally order this almost every other day when at work.It’s definitely not the cheapest taco restaurant but I mean, it also isn’t Taco Bell.I have yet to try the dine in experience but will update this review as soon as I do.

I recently visited El Camino and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was lively and the service was great. The tacos were the highlight of my meal. I tried a few different options and they were all delicious. The flavors were well balanced and the meats were cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the fresh chips and salsa which were a great starter. To top it off, the margaritas were amazing and the perfect complement to the meal. Overall, I highly recommend El Camino for anyone looking for a great taco spot in Ottawa.

Got there for 6pm on a Sunday and easily snagged a table for my party of 3. The restaurant filled up by 630. 2 servers did an amazing job of somehow catering to a full restaurant. It didn't seem like we were waiting a long time for anything, until the end when 1 of our tacos was forgotten. The server realized it, comped it without prompting from us, and got it delivered to our table asap so no harm done. Excellent drinks too. My margarita was especially well made. Between the 3 of us, we tried nearly every taco on the menu and all were amazing!

The taco was really good. But one taco costs $8 which is a little expensive considering tax makes it $10. The service was slower than expected. Other than that, enjoyed the patio view :)

If you're looking for a delicious and interesting meal in the Byward Market area, you should definitely check out this restaurant. They offer a variety of tasty tacos that are sure to satisfy your cravings. During my recent visit, I tried several of their tacos, and each one was more delicious than the last. The flavors were well balanced, and the ingredients were fresh, making for a satisfying and enjoyable meal.Our table also ordered a drink, which was presented beautifully and made with high-quality liquor. It was the perfect accompaniment to the meal and added to the overall dining experience.One of the dishes we ordered was the papaya salad, which was tasty but could have used more papaya and less crispy toppings. Additionally, there was a bit too much liquid in the salad, which made it a little bit soggy. Nevertheless, it was still a good dish overall, and I would order it again.The servers were attentive and friendly, but the delivery of our food was a bit odd. Two of our six tacos arrived early, yet still not together, which made our party wait for more to arrive so we could eat together. Despite this minor hiccup, I still highly recommend this restaurant.Overall, the interesting variety of tacos and high-quality drinks, combined with the great location in the Byward Market, make this restaurant a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Despite the minor issue with our food delivery, I look forward to returning and trying more dishes.

Good place! Wish they had more options for vegetarians. But the one option they have that isn't crazy spicy was pretty good ! I didn't notice the egg plant flavor which was a big bonus.I would say that they are understaffed considering how busy it is even at odd times in the day. But overall a good place. My meat eater boyfriend absolutely loved the food and his review is on Google as well.
