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 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

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.

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.

I was not super hungry and spotted a soft pretzel with cheese sauce, and a garden salad so that was my order. My family seem to like the hot dogs here? My husband got a gyros and fries and said that was just OK. The people at the counter are very pleasant and fast. The pretzel was good, what do you want for a microwaved soft pretzel? I love cheese sauce so no negativity there. The garden salad though, avoid avoid avoid! It was just a few limp pieces of pale iceberg lettuce, five thin slices of green bell pepper, a few slices of cucumber, and three and a half thin slices of pale tomato. Yuck! Never again ordering the salad. If you want some fast food this is the place to go. Or... go to the grocery store and get the same stuff, save a little money and make it at home.
