Ola Cocina - Ottawa, Ontario

Hands down, the best taco place in Ottawa. I’ve been venturing to different taco places across town, and this one is truthfully my favourite. The food is fresh and so full of flavour. I’ve come here twice and have had 6 different taco meats, my favourite has to be the Tuna & ... the Al Pastor. The one thing that I really appreciate about here is that I have a gluten & dairy allergy + most the time when places hear that I miss out on the majority of the toppings. but here, they make most their sauces & toppings gluten + dairy free. They’re also the only place that I’ve found that offers gluten free churros for dessert. Will definitely be back! Read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to! Extremely flavourful, beautiful presentation, and oh so satisfying. Vegetarian options were great. The bean dip was so rich and thick. The server was so down to earth and enjoyable. She worked so hard and really took good care of us ... for our meal. I have bookmarked this place as a 'must go again' for the next time I'm in town! Bought the hot sauce too, well made and flavourful with a mild heat. Read more

This has to be the best place to go for tacos! The tacos are simply excellent. There are so many combinations to choose from and each individual taco is a work of art--in flavour and in presentation. The restaurant is so cute, with bright colours, little nooks, and inside/outside options. ... The excellent food combined with the cheerful ambience makes for a delightful meal. Read more

My absolute favourite Mexican food in Ottawa. It's a small restaurant but the atmosphere inside and out is amazing and their staff is always fantastic. 99% is gluten free and are super safe with food handling. I have never been sick from eating there. It is an absolute must try!

Delicious tacos with loads of flavor. Three tacos are very original and authentic. We just returned from a trip to Mexico and these were on par with some of the best we've had. You need to have their churros, they are to die for!! The staff is very friendly and ... helpful. Their recommendations were on point and the service was fast. The atmosphere is cosy, but be warned there are only a few tables, a true hole in the wall restaurant. Read more
