Waited 20 minutes for the first contact at the table. Ordered, water and corona. And burritos bowl with the tacos. We saw people that arrived 30 min after us get served. We asked about the corona. They had completely forgotten. We got the corona when the new staff came in at 6PM. We had a lovely couple seated right next to us. They ordered maybe 5 minutes before we did. We got the food at 6:30. They still had not received their food. All while watching people that came in after get served. Now for the food, My burrito bowl was lacking flavour. Had so much liquid at the bottom (I think it was a mix of the water from the rice and salad), the chips where soft on one of the side. My bowl ($16) came with rice, cheese, guacamole, chicken and salsa. The My partner said his sandwich bread was pretty good but the steak was too cooked, dry and lacked flavour. He did not like any of his chicken and steak taco ($5 each).

Everything had a strong taste of overwhelming acidity and sourness. My dining party got tacos, quesabriras, and the enchilladas. Only 1/3 items were enjoyable and all dining members said they would not return. The value for your money is also not great. Would not spend $25 for 3 tacos where you wont enjoy them....

I had lunch at Taqueria La Bonita with a friend. I felt that the food was good but a bit overpriced…read morefor what it was. 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.

La Ha Tacos makes the best tacos in Ottawa in my opinion! Located in the parking lot of a car wash,…read morethis hidden gem is our go-to for a delicious bite whenever we venture out to the East end of Ottawa. Jay and his team know their flavours! The Steak Tacos are my absolute fav! I order my steak medium-rare then I add queso fresco, avocado, fire roasted salsa, crema and pickled onions. Did I mention that all toppings are free?! That's right - even cheese and avocado! That's pretty rare to find these days! Also worth mentioning are the Beer Battered Fish Tacos at La Ha. My hubby always orders them because he loves them so much. They're made perfectly every single time. We've also tried their Agua de Sandía and Horchata - both were excellent! If you're in the mood for always fresh and always delicious tacos, you need to check out this place! Note: La Ha Tacos also recently introduced new menu items like their Nachos, Taco Salad and Queso Cheese in case you prefer something other than Tacos.

If I could start this review with just emoji's it would be the teeth clenching one. The hubby, kid…read moreand I spontaneously drove up to this food truck Monday afternoon to grab a couple tacos. This food truck is located in a car wash parking lot in Orleans, with not a whole lot of parking. We arrived during lunch, around 11:50. Big mistake, I guess? There were maybe 5 people in line, so we decided to wait it out. It could not be that long right? The hubby waited in line while I waited in the car. It took him about 10 minutes to place his order. I believe it was somewhere around 12:09 where he came back to the car and said it would probably be around 15-20 minutes for the food. I contemplated him driving us back home and then him heading back for the food but we decided to just wait it out in case it was ready earlier than expected. I've never been to this place before, and did not do much research beforehand, but if I knew this place is known for the long wait times, I most likely would have skipped coming here, or just ordered online, which a lot of people were doing. That may have caused a back log of orders. Online orders, telephone orders and in person orders for a small food truck, with 3 people working....that is a lot of pressure, and it kind of screws over the customers placing orders in person. Fast forward to a screaming toddler, a person waiting in their car eyeing me for our parking spot (for 20 minutes...eyeroll), and a very slow food truck, we FINALLY got our tacos at 12:45pm. On to the food...everything is made in house, from the chips to the toppings. All platters come with 3 tacos, side of chips and salsa. You are able to add additional free toppings to your tacos like salsa, cabbage, avocado, ect. I am kicking myself in the butt for not doing so. I ordered the fish tacos, and the hubby ordered the pork. He noted that his pork was pretty dry and wish he added salsa to his tacos. Although, he did say they were good (but again, not wait 45 minutes good). My fish tacos were pretty flavorful, but I ran into the same problem with them being dry. The first taco I found the fish on the drier and chewier side. The other two were fine. It came topped with a crema sauce so that helped a bit.The chips were really good, and addicting. Their salsa that came with the chips was awesome and a pretty nice portion. The tacos itself are about 3 bites. The tacos were good, but waiting 45 minutes at a food truck is inexcusable, and left a sour taste in my mouth. I would not rush back, but this place is not a write off, because the tacos were good. Do yourself a favor and call in your order.

I got the chicken parm and he got the Val and Fred's Friday special. We were able to customize our sandwiches to taste, and everything in it was piled high and incredibly tasty. The flavour was incredible, the service was quick and friendly. We will definitely be back to try other sandwiches and deserts, because holy hell the options were too many to try at once, and they all looked spectacular There was plenty of seating, and was super clean and quiet

The Short Version: Second location of popular deli in Ottawa…read morefamous for sandwiches. I stopped by for a cannolo and it was great. Love their creative flavours. The Long Version: The original Roberto's Corner is still tucked away inside the MacEwen gas station and Quickie convenience store on Pleasant Park Rd, but this newly opened (early 2026) second location in Old Ottawa South is much nicer. It's where Life of Pi used to be and it has lots of seating and you feel like you're actually in a cafe/deli instead of inside a convenience store like their original location, lol. I've had their legendary sandwiches multiple times at their original location, so when I stopped by their new location to check it out, I just got a pastry. I got their strawberry cheesecake cannolo ($4.49) and it was fantastic. I love that they have fun flavours. They had blueberry cheesecake cannoli too. If you're more of a purist, don't worry they have original plain cannoli as well. The pastry was crispy even though it was prefilled. It had a nice strawberry flavour. Staff were pleasant. If I'm in the mood for a sandwich and I'm in the area, I would not hesitate to stop in for a sandwich, as the deli set up looked very similar to the original location on Pleasant Park. Sandwiches are about $12.99 each. Glad to see this independent sandwich shop flourish and open it's second location. Street parking only. Review #87 (2026)

For food, we ordered the ceviche combo with everything and fried rice with mixed seafood. For drinks, we ordered chicha morada. Everything was delicious. The ceviche was perfectly marinated.

It wasn't just 80% rice. Finally, I've never had chicha morada like this before. Very refreshing, and it had a little spice to it. I regret not taking some more to go!

First of all, the restaurant has delicious meals and a super fast wait staff. Prices are reasonable too. Keep in mind its an old style. Not impressive to look at, and mismatched kitchenware all around, but very welcoming. The takeout side of the restaurant is filled with healthy homemade quickgrab meals like brocolli or bean salads, sandwiches, and fruit. They have the best egg bread sandwiches! The baked goods are fabulous. You must try their brownies! And of course a rotating lunch menu that is also delicious. The convenience store has lots of extras. Checkout the selection in the drink cooler including local kombucha and hard to find pop flavours. It also has a wall of homemade products like soaps and lip balms. This place is crazy busy during the day, but the staff are both friendly and super fast, so you're always out quickly even for a sit down lunch. Highly recommend.
