Brand spanking new Mexican place that took over the old Monte's Riverside restaurant…read more GDL (Guadalajara) Mexican restaurant recently opened and I believe owned by the same folks as Tapatios in Ottawa. We dined on a Tuesday evening and it was pretty dead inside. The interior is brighter than the former Monte's. The decor is pretty neat and the bar is super cute. They did a nice job renovating this space. Lots of Roman Empire female warriors on the walls. I ordered the fish tacos and had beans in place of rice. That is a delicious meal! The sauce is so good. Huge portions and plenty of fish. My bro got the shrimp verde plate and added chorizo. He also replaced the rice for beans. He loved this meal, very flavorful. Mom got a la carte ground beef taco and cheese and onion enchilada which she enjoyed. The menu is extensive and the prices are good. The staff are very friendly and kept checking on us through our time here. Ruben was an excellent server. The only minor gripes are it was a bit chilly in here, and there was no music in the dining area. Very quiet. The food is great so we are definitely coming back.

Seems like as soon as we said out loud "hey where is that waiter?" He popped up to take our order. Guacamole salad was good but needed a little salt. We got nachos for the table, a kids meal was ordered and a chimichanga with ground beef was the entree. That food was out in under 8 minutes! The food was good and while I found it a little pricey for lunch it's not terrible. Overall, this was a great experience and I'd recommend it.

The complimentary salsa and chips were tasty. The ambiance itself is very underwhelming here, small and not very well lit. This place is really about the food. My husband got al pastor lunch tacos and he was very impressed. Overall though I would not say the atmosphere is that great, if you want ambiance there is a good place near the Ottawa Wal-Mart that is better.

I went here last Wednesday with a large group of ladies. We were all very impressed with the…read moreservice we received from Charlie, who said it was only his third day there. He sure did hustle and was a fantastic waiter. Great personality, fast, came over to check on us repeatedly and got all of our orders right the first time! Wow! The location is on top of the hill on Rt 6 leaving Ottawa... located next to one of the gentlemen's establishments but I won't judge the pizzeria. Lots of spacious parking in their own parking lot. Upon entering the pizzeria, my friend and I were wowed by the large banquet room. It was decorated very nicely and it looked like a wedding had been held here. We walked down the hall to the large room where our tables were reserved. A HUGE space with a lot of TVs and a dance floor. A very nice open space. My friend and I split a large cheese, onions, mushroom and black olive pizza. We also got some onion rings to share. I thought the food was really good. The crust was thin and crispy, piping hot cheese, just enough sauce. The toppings were fresh. The onion rings are just OK. Our party seemed very happy overall with the service. We kept commenting how professional and fast that Charlie was. I have never tried Alfano's Pizza which is insane considering they have been in Ottawa for decades, and Ottawa is my hometown. I was always partial to two other locally owned establishments. I would definitely come back because I was so impressed with the service and food.

The selection on the menu seemed good but I was not super hungry so I ordered one cheese enchilada and one bean tostada. My brother loved the camarones el Diablo. Our uncle got a chimichanga and white queso sauce. He asked for a side of rice and beans but it didn't come out with his meal. He had to ask for them a second time and the waitress got them later. Queso was good (I tried a little). Brother gave me two pieces of shrimp and they were spicy and good. Unfortunately my meal came out much later than everyone else's and both items were freezing cold. I couldn't be bothered to send them back caus the service was so slow. I asked for a pinio Grigio and they had only enough for one small glass. It was not that busy there so we were not very impressed with the overall experience.

Great food and great service. Highly recommend for those who are fond of Mexican food.read more

Noon lunch on a workday. Pandora radio as loud as a spring break beach bar, but mercifully…read moreinterrupted every three minutes with an ad for Kentucky Fried Chicken. No better way to save $10 a month than to rock free Pandora in your Mexican restaurant supported by fried chicken ads. Waitress: "What can I get you to drink?" Me: "Diet" Waitress: "Diet Dr. Pepper?" Me: "Uh...wut?" Waitress: "Well, that's the only diet soda we have." She then brought out a 12oz can and charged me $1.75. Had to ask for chips and salsa. Charged me $3.00 for those. Salsa tasted like it came from a jar in the chip aisle at Kroger. God's Eleventh Commandment was "No Mexican restaurant shall ever chargeth for chips and salsa." There is a reason no successful Mexican restaurant ever has. Your customers are eating at your competitors' restaurants. Charging for something the competition gives away for free is a relationship ender. Find the $3.00 some other way. I asked if one of the green salsas was made with beer because it was carbonated. Unreassuringly, the waitress almost agreed with me that it was probably just naturally fermenting. The burrito suizo came in a porcelain boat so narrow I had to eat it by taking out core samples from the top down. The top was covered by a thick layer of solid cheese that I was able to fold over like the toupée of a corpse on a brisk, but not too cold day. Probably would not go back. The vibe was "We are running a restaurant, but have never actually been to one." I wish them the best of luck.

We just started with an order of nachos. That was all we…read moregot, was served in a paper plate. Plastic service ware that we needed to ask for. Was just ok food. No water or soda available on tap, outrageous prices for them bottled. That they forgot to bring until asked. We love to support a new place, but come on, no one knows what's going on here at all. I have NEVER been served a margarita in a rocks glass EVER! Tasted watered down as well and was $7.00. I am attaching photos of bill and pics of food. Please be ware if thinking of this place. 1 grilled jalapeño was $3.00! I do hope they end up doing well, but we won't be back anytime soon! Look at the reciept!

Sundays they have build your own bloody bar where you are provided a generous half glass of vodka and ice to start your creation. The only thing I would have liked to see were some pickled mushrooms, but they had a couple kinds of olives, asparagus,okra and pickles so I was happy anyway. Also some horseradish to spice it up. Your mixer was a spicy Clamato and it was delish. Also got a HUGE order of pepper jack cubes and I don't know what kind of magical breading is on them but they stayed warm for a long time , making it so nice to munch on them dipped in ranch. The photo is showing HALF of them gone. I mean WOW !! All in all we will totally be back. Missed breakfast by a few minutes but if it is half as good as it looked cooking in front of us and how it smelled we will be in for a treat. Prices are great as well. Is it a divey bar? Yep. But those are the best !!!

Also didn't appreciate one of the locals coming up to our table and getting uncomfortably close to my face while proceeding to ask me if he could have the rest of my fries ... dude, we are in the middle of a pandemic ???
