I love tacolot Nepean, Chantal makes amazing tacos and her deserts omg. I would come here just for the deserts alone. The service is impeccable she's incredibly friendly, outgoing and will make sure to customize your food as needed. Tacolot is tucked away in a revamped little house and it's got quirky decorations/mish mashed tables inside that give it a homey cottage kind of feel to it. read more

Tacolot has excellent customer service! The chef was upbeat, super patient and detail with explaining the menu, despite my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place 30 mins before their closing time. We ordered 3 tacos to share - steak, pork and fried fish. The chef offered to add their housemade mango salsa to our fish taco to bring it up a notch! Food was ready in 5 mins and we were pleasantly surprised on how loaded and colourful the tacos were. He brought us forks, sharing plates and napkins without us even asking! Individual components of the tacos worked very well together without overpowering each other. We chose mild for all 3 tacos. My favourite taco was the steak as the cubes of beef were tender and juicy. We sat outside on the sole table in the parking lot which was decorated with lights. The atmosphere was really rustic with the restaurant (which is a small house) as the backdrop. read more

The one place I eat at in Centretown for lunch. Great service and great food. The Vegetarian TacoPoutine is spot on if you crave Mexican-Quebecois fusion that is sans carcass. read more

I have had take-out tacos from TacoLot (Nepean street location) several times and they are always excellent. The chef/owner is so friendly too, even when she's slammed with customers. I only wish they could be open on weekends. We recently tried the wild boar / venison tacos and they were amazing, worth the extra $1. They were only available while supplies lasted but they'd be a big hit if they could get a regular supply of the meat. Everything locally sourced and home-made, I don't think there's a better taco in Ottawa. read more

This place is amazing! If you're looking for great food, a warm and inviting atmosphere, and five star service, look no further than Tacolot Ottawa. Upon entering the restaurant, you will be greeted with some of the friendliest service that you will ever encounter. I can't think of many other restaurants I've been to where the delightful chef will take your order, cook your food, and engage in conversation with you while you're at the restaurant. This was a truly unique experience, one of which I will not soon forget. Tacolot will be the first restaurant I visit when I return to Ottawa! read more

This is my second time here. I came in April or so. I ordered two pulled pork tacos and was disappointed. It wasn't seasoned like other pulled pork that I've had. It was mostly roasted with a dry rub. Some parts of the meat were pink and a couple bites had a mouthful of fat. My husband had the beef and said it was just okay. Both were juicy but my husband and I agreed the tacos lacked the zest and flavour if onion, cilantro and lime usually present in other tacos. Tonight they were also out of crispy fish, which was my first choice. Total bill for 4 tacos came to $14. We brought our own beverages. The server/cook gave us a deal, which was nice. Service was good: it was prepared quickly. There was no seating outside,except for two chairs widely spaced gracing the doorway. A picnic table would have been perfect. Instead if sitting in the blasting air-conditioning we opted for a bench not far on the sidewalk. It is what it is: a quick,relatively healthy dinner, and a chance to still savour the taste of summer. read more

TacoLot - Limey pork tacos! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Pretty sure this place is a converted house but that simply adds to the charm and makes the server's, "make yourself at home" all the more authentic. The tacos were amazing and possibly the best I have had in Ottawa. The spice was perfect, that actually did ground beef right (not too dry and not to drippy) and the veggie toppings did not overwhelm the meat. Will visit here again and again and again! read more

Great little hidden gem. Parked to do errands and saw it and popped in to try. Awesome taco. Flavors were great. read more

As someone who thinks of himself as a taco kinda guy, I was intrigued when I saw the sandwich board at Bank/Nepean promoting TacoLot. It's hidden on Nepean (west of Bank). There is seating inside, but I went in to grab a "3 for $10" taco pack to go. The service was good and I was the only one there, so I knew that everything would be prepared fresh. I wanted a crispy fish taco, but they had run out of fish, so I went with pulled park, beef and chicken tacos. The one thing I noticed was that the soft taco shell was heavier/doughier than I've had at other local taco spots (El Camino). It changes the gastro experience because you don't get to savour all the flavours of the "good stuff" inside because the shell is taking up more space than needed. Overall, fresh, hot, tasty downtown tacos on the fly. You can't ask for better at $10. They also have burritos and quesadillas on the menu. Please note that the Nepean location is closed on the weekend. That's not crystal clear on their sandwich board. Plan ahead and don't be taco disappointed on Saturday or Sunday. Lots of bicycle and street parking. read more

TacoLot - So good we couldn't wait to start eating. Front of the tacolot on Nepean st. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

They are so delicious. I'm not sure why people are complaining. Perhaps because many don't realize how bland real Mexican food is. You have to chose your sauces to put on. That's where all the flavours lie. The prices are a tad high. But for the quality of meat and the real corn tortillas I think it's worth it. Get your sauce on it! read more

Loved the chipotle sauce made by the chef, and the quesadillas were excellent too. It is a cool little place. We ate there for supper on Saturday night. It is slightly hidden, look for a small house away from the curb of the street. Worth going for really good and simple Mexican food. read more

I went here for Lunch today and it was pretty good. I ordered a beef burrito and for 8$ I got a beef burrito that is big enough for 2. The burrito itself wasn`t super exciting, a pretty normal burrito with rice, beans, tomato, beef and, cheese. It was well worth the 8$. I have enough left over for lunch tomorrow. read more
