We ordered on Uber for pick up during the pandemic. The tacos were ready very quickly after we…read moreplaced our order. We had the support local special for $42, which we included 2 margarita shrimp tacos, 2 Eldorado tacos (beef), 2 pork carnitas tacos, and pico de Gallo. We didn't realize the pico de Gallo mentioned wasn't just a side and actually came with tortilla chips, so we also ordered nachos caliente. The shrimp tacos were my absolute favourite - two huge shrimps, excellent lime & cilantro flavour. The pork tacos were ok, well seasoned. However the beef taco was a bit dry and there was nothing special about it. Overall, the biggest issue with our order, wasn't the food per say. In the box where all 6 tacos were, the other the pork and beef had way too much oil that wasn't drained. So it leaked and created a huge mess underneath the tacos. The tacos were so soggy and covered in oil - all 6 of them. Huge issue with the packaging for take out. The nachos caliente had a TON of cheese, pickled onions, and jalapeños. I never thought I would complain about cheese, but there was just wayyyyyy too much cheese. The cheese was layered on super heavily between the layers, while the toppings were only on the top. The huge about of cheese actually made the chips soggy and not that enjoyable, though the flavours were all there. I feel like they really need to work on their execution for take out! The tacos and nachos were both super soggy by the time we got them home.

I've been dying to find a perfect taco place in Ottawa. Eldorado almost hit 5 stars. The flavours…read moretaste pretty authentic. - nachos with pulled pork - mexi dogs - tacos The nachos were pretty decent, the mexi dogs were a favourite! They were filled with flavour and the dogs had a nice char! The tacos were okay, the shrimp was my least favourite. The pulled aspects for the meats is questionable, it's mostly massive chunks of pulled pork and chicken. I was hoping for the meats to have more pulled and more flavour. Keep Eating, Angela

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.

Inside the establishment is smaller than I'd expect with a couple of tables tightly knit together. Expect close seating and small tables. They also get busy, but take reservations. Asada fries - Lots of fries, crispy and loaded with toppings. The veggies, pico de gallo and salsa all come together nicely to balance out the cheese and fries. There was so much toppings that the last fries were eaten before the toppings were finished off. Taco de Carnitas - Proteins felt a bit dry and lacked sauce to back up to dryness. Big portion, but for $8.... its a bit steep. would not recommend. Taco de Carne Asada - A good portion for a single taco, but as with the other taco $8 is a bit too much for just one. This time proteins was more juicy and you get a hint for carmalization from the charred meat. Tacos not worth. Would come back for Asada fries but add protein. WIll try the wings (they look stacked) and maybe a torta.

I've been a loyal follower of the Torta Boyz since they first opened up as a food truck and have…read morealways been impressed and satisfied by their food. Their brick and mortar home serves the same classics that they had at the truck and then some. Their menu has expanded to include some appetizers, tacos and cocktails. The prices have gone up but worth the money since it's probably the best mexican food in Ottawa. The fish tacos we got were made fresh and dressed with plenty of fresh, sour, creamy pairings. The Asada Fries are as good as ever. A mountain of guac and dressings and super crispy fries. Got the pastor torta this time around--this was the only thing I thought could use a bit more acidity since the meat was generous but a bit heavy. The tuna tostada is my new favourite. it was fresh, bright, spicy and as always, all the textures. Service is lovely.

I've been to this Bar Burrito 3 times now. Full disclosure: I bought three $10 Groupon vouchers for…read more$15 total. Each Groupon had to be claimed at a separate visit, hence the 3 visits. The food here is not bad for Mexican fast food. I never had a problem with customer service like other reviewers mentioned. Staff were always super nice to me. Each time I ordered a large chicken burrito ($8.90). This bad boy is gigantic! Each time I also shared it with my husband, as there is no way I would finish a large burrito by myself (and I have a huge appetite). They stuff it full of rice, beans (2 different types), sliced chicken, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. I skipped the salsa and skipped the sauces because I don't like my burrito too wet. The burrito is similar to burritos at other fast food joints like Mucho Burrito, Burrito Gringo, and Chipotle. For what it is, it's good. Twice I "made it a combo" for an additional $3 and got fries and a can of pop. Both times the quantity of fries I got was minimal. The fries were good. They were slightly battered and hot and crispy. Obviously frozen fries, but what do you expect from a fast food restaurant? I just expected more actual fries for the price. On my last visit instead of fries and a drink, I just got a churros ($2.25). The churros was hot, crispy on the outside and soft and slightly doughy on the inside. I've had better churros, but again for a fast food restaurant, it was pretty good. However, It was slim. The diameter was maybe the size of a quarter. It was long though. It came with a side of chocolate dipping sauce. Staff were always very nice to me. I never came during peak hours though. Always when they were slow with either no other customers, or just one or two people already eating. The place is bright and clean. It's in that new construction area on West Hunt Club where all the new plazas are, with the Mandarin, Lowe's, Panera Bread, etc. The Bar Burrito is in the same section as the Cora's. Lots of free parking.
