Service was okay- our waiter seemed a little young and forgot to ring up our nachos. We wanted them as an app to share with the table, but they never came. So we had asked about them (after our main courses were delivered) and the waiter let us know there was an error and they would come out soon. Which was fine- a few of our friends were still hungry, haha. The restaurant itself is charming- lots of beautiful decor and the drink and dessert menus are so beautiful! They're printed on little cards connected by an O-ring. One thing i will say that's slightly negative is that it's pretty expensive; that makes this restaurant a "once in a while" location for me.

Wow, who would think there'd be such a stellar taco place located in the little city of Ottawa? My…read morefriends and I visited from Toronto and were a little put off by the prices of the tacos but we were recommended this spot by so many locals, so we had to try it out. It did not disappoint. I had the tuna tartare, crispy fish, and grilled chicken taco. Surprisingly, the tuna tartare (the most expensive one) was my least favourite; something about it tasted too earthy and I couldn't taste the tuna that much as the other flavours were overpowering. The crispy fish is a must-try, and the grilled chicken is a pleasant surprise - you don't expect it to blow you away, but somehow it does. I also had a bite of the steak taco which was delicious.

On a Sunday night, it was not super busy but there were enough people that it didn't feel empty inside. A bit pricy but we also got drinks, and most trendy Mexican restaurants are like this these days. To start, I shared guac & chips - no complaints, we enjoyed and it was very fresh. The added tomatoes were nice. I ordered 3 tacos - the beef barbacoa was fine but the portion of dipping jus was tiny for 3 beef tacos. The best taco for me was the tuna tartare crispy taco. Loved the flavours and the fish was just delicious! My friends had the chicken tacos and said they were spicy but they liked them a lot. However, I did not enjoy the ox tongue taco and didn't finish it. I ordered it because all the reviews about it were so positive, but I didn't like how they just put two huge pieces of meat in a taco. It tasted very gamey and I didn't like the spongy texture either. The piña colada cocktail was yummy - I could taste fresh pineapple and it was very creamy.

It was also because of this that the restaurant was nearly empty during peak dinner hours, which I imagine wouldn't be the case normally. There was a nice traditional Mexican backdrop & music alongside it. The staff were really great; one of them gave gluten-free options to a friend with a gastrointestinal condition, who opted for the taco taco: a double-shelled taco with cheese in between the shells to hold it together. You can get some well-priced dishes with great portion sizes. I myself went for the plato ahora carne with beans and rice as sides. It was great and filling. I believe Ahora's a strong pick if you want to get some authentic Mexican cuisine, and a great pick to bring any friends or family.

The menu is a lot simpler, and they are just selling tacos, churros, chips and gauc and some drinks. The hubby and I both got a set of 4 tacos each and a side of churros. I ordered 3 fish and one vegan, but they packed in a beef one instead. I don't eat beef, so my loss, and hubbies gain. The hubby got a fish, jerk, beef, and pork. He loved them all, but was meh about the beef, as it was not as colorful looking as the rest. I thought all my fish tacos were fantastic. The tacos also came with lemon, and lime and a side of hot sauce, which was super flavorful and not too hot. I wanted to try the chips and gauc but they were sold out. Churros delish and I really enjoyed the chocolate sauce for dipping. It would be awesome if they had a caramel sauce as well. Opening up the new sleek black packaging made me extremely happy as well. The tacos were so bright and colorful. Seriously, go look at the pics I uploaded of the tacos...WOW! Everything was packed with so much care. This would have been a solid 5 star for me, but again, they gave me a beef taco instead of the requested vegan taco. 4.5 stars.

The lamb wasn't gamey at all and they were generous with the protein despite it being a special. The birria also only had one tortilla instead of two which I thought was rare. Because of the one tortilla, and generous meat topping the taco kept breaking and it was messy. Definitely would recommend this place and the food was ready under 15min!

It is a small shop with only about 4 tables serving up juicy and delicious Mexican street tacos. There is a really wide variety of topping choices which made it impossible to choose! Everything we had was really flavourful and had just the right level of heat. They come with a homemade hot sauce which was also fantastic. I would also highly recommend getting the dipping consommé- I could have drank a whole bowl of it! We finished everything off with an order of churros which were some of the tastiest I ever had- they were so fluffy and crunchy but also dense?? I can't describe it. All the staff were awesome and really helpful but there might be some language barriers if you needed to communicate some dietary restrictions so practice your Spanish! All in all, super glad we gave this place a try and will definitely be going back to try their other taco flavours!

The restaurant has two locations, the original one on Cadboro, which I've been to before, and this newer one on Wellington West. I feel that this location on Wellington West is a bit "hipper" and "cooler" yet more commercial. The Cadboro location, I found more like a family eatery and had more of a mom and pop feel. I got 2 tacos ($6.50 each), the barbacoa, and the chicken mole. My friend got 2 chicken quesadillas ($8 each). Both the tacos and quesadillas were really small, much smaller than I expected for the price. The barbacoa taco was pulled beef topped with onions and cilantro. The beef was tender and the seasonings were tasty. The chicken mole taco was topped with shredded lettuce, cheese and a white sauce. The mole sauce was sweet and had a strong chocolate flavour. The taco shells were corn tortillas and they give you double shells. I had to eat my tacos with a knife and fork because they fell apart when I tried to pick them up. My friend also had to eat her quesadillas with a knife and fork. Service was very pleasant. We got a glass bottle of water for our table. Our server checked up on us appropriately. Decor is very cool and colourful. Lots of Mexican items around. The restaurant in this space before Taqueria La Bonita was also a Mexican restaurant (the very short lived, La Cocina Loca), and the restaurant before that was also a Mexican restaurant (the second location for Ola Cocina, sadly it closed, but the original Ola Cocina in Vanier lives on). Prior to that it was Zazaza (a pizza place). I looked at their drinks menu and they have lots of creative and delicious sounding (and expensive) drinks. They have some sofa like chairs and the back of the restaurant has a more loungey feel. Overall I felt that the food was good, but too pricey for me, as I could have easily eaten 5-6 tacos and $30-$40 for a taco lunch is too spendy for me.
