Absolutely amazing tacos. Everything is full of flavour. My favourite was the ribeye, but they all tasted great. I had ribeye, fish, chicken and beef. The lemonade also hit the spot! 2-3 tacos are plenty, but I skipped apps and did 4 tacos to try a bunch. So good!

Excellent night at El Camino on Elgin. The tacos were excellent, the atmosphere was great and the beer and margarita were spot on. Good value and looking forward to returning. Had the Ox Tongue, the Pork Belly and the Fish.

My #1 best taco place in Ottawa.
Ingredients are very fresh.
Pork belly taco and beef taco were our favorite.
Crispy fish taco tasted a bit bland for me and it comes with jalapeno so it’s a bit spicy.

I came here for drinks while visiting my family in Ottawa and I ordered the piΓ±a colada and my cousin got the paloma. both drinks came very well presented in tall cups and not too much ice! they were tasty.
but the star of the night were the chips & salsa. the in-house made salsa was so delicious. it had the nicest sweet taste with a solid kick of spice all blended so perfectly together. the portion was huge, but we cleaned the bowl!! I would go back for this salsa, they need to sell these by the jar!

This is a go to spot on Elgin St to get amazing tacos.

It gets busy and fils up quickly so get here early or you will be waiting a while. There is a take out window that is open pretty late.

Lots of taco options and some great vegetarian one. Get here asap.
