“ Cool place to hangout. Food's as good as it looks. Ordered the tacos. Robust and hearty flavours. Knowledgeable, friendly and chatty staff!! ”
“ Really nice vibe—it reminded me of northern Mexico and the desert. The mural is super cool, though it has a bit of an African or mixed influence. The food was great, (could have been a bit more spicy for my liking hehe ) and Pablo was awesome with the service! ”
“ This is a must visit place for me everytime I come to Ottawa. These are some of the best tacos I have ever had in my life. The chicken tacos are my absolute favourite. They are so flavourful and delicious. I am not a big whiskey fan but their whiskey sour is so so good. Everything from the appetizers to the churros, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend checking this place out! ”
“ El Camino never disappoints! The tacos are all delicious. Although I'm not vegetarian, my favorites are actually the eggplant taco and cauliflower taco. We went a Tuesday evening and there was happy hour 4-6pm. Guacamole is fresh and delicious! Margaritas were amazing, so was the tequila sour. They also have great hot sauce! ”
“ Food is amazing I recommend any of their beef tacos , the chicken fish and pork belly were all 10/10 and the chips and guac was so yummy. I don’t recommend the pina colada virgin or not it’s so nasty lol. Churros were pretty okay tho. ”
“ I love this place. Been a few times now and it never lets me down. I found out today they have just started a Happy Hour and with it comes some very delicious food items that can only be ordered during that time. So what I am saying is, if you haven't tried El Camino before or you haven't been in a while, you must check out the happy hour and get the Chicken Taquitos ”
