I found this place on Yelp. I had a lot of difficulty finding its location. Probably because I went in the evening. I was greeted as soon as I went in and they help me order what I wanted and I had it take out.

As a Mexican I can definitely say this is one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants in Ottawa, love their enchiladas and chilaquiles. Nice portions, good service..definitely would recommend

August 13, 2024

I'm disappointed... The evening and mood were ruined. We came to try Mexican cuisine and ordered two dishes, one of which was a taco. When the taco was served, the tortilla was soggy and falling apart, even though we ordered a hard shell. The second dish had the same meat as the taco, just wrapped in a tortilla. There were no spices or aromas typical of Mexican cuisine. The meat was simply boiled, without any spices or vegetables. The waitress didn't even put salt and pepper on the table. It was awful. It seems like the restaurant owner and chef are not interested in serving tasty food that would make customers want to return. I strongly do not recommend this place.

I have no idea how this restaurant has a 4.6-star rating. My experience at Chilaquiles was incredibly disappointing. The food had zero flavor and everything was cold. They couldn’t even get the nachos right—how can you mess up nachos? The service was just as bad. The entire kitchen staff, waitress, and all other staff went on a dinner break while we were eating. We tried to get their attention for service, but they ignored us and continued having their food. The restaurant should have set times for each worker to go on their breaks. They shouldn’t all be taking a break at the same time. Every single thing we ordered was tasteless and lacked any flavor. I can’t begin to understand how this restaurant is considered authentic Mexican cuisine. I was honestly so upset that I had to spend my money on food that I didn’t enjoy or eat at all. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Went there for lunch Friday with a friend. I had a feast of a burrito with diced chicken, smothered in red and green salsa, crema, and cheese. Came with a bit of salad on the side with a bit of tortilla chips. The tortilla chips looked and tasted to be made in house. Very tasty, very satisfying dish. Also shared an order of guac with more tortilla chips. Very good and also looked and tasted homemade. Just the right balance of acidity and seasoning. Washed everything down with mandarin Jarritos. Our server was very friendly. 10/10 will repeat. Can't wait to go again.

We randomly stopped here for supper during a bike ride-Delicious, our new favourite spot for tacos. The chips and guacamole were generous and tasty. The tacos were great, in particular the pork. Pork was excellent. My partner had a burrito with the pork, loved it. Remember to ask for a few hot sauce options. We’ll be back.

Kind of comical that I spent $50 after tax and tip on a total of 6 pretty small quesadillas for two people. The cheese was tasty, the meat was pretty good, but the serving looked hilariously small on a huge plate for $25 a person. Quesadillas were also greasy from the cheese, which isn t BAD per se, but some people probably wouldn t like it. Interior was kinda run down. The food came out pretty fast at least. Usually not the type to rag on small businesses but I just didn t get value here at all, and I felt a pretty immediate sense of confusion when I saw what a net $25 was buying me. $20 at any shawarma place will get you a huge platter with veggies that will feed you for two meals. Something just didn t add up.

They might have been having an off night, but we didn t have a great experience. Signature chilaquiles dish and burrito was good (if pretty modest in portions), but tacos were not great strange rule around ordering chorizo con papas that you have to get all three rather being able to mix and match disappointing, and no accompaniments, had to ask for a bit of hot sauce to help with flavor and they had no guacamole available still a lot of work to do in terms of finishing decor, lots of unfinished paint edges, bathroom still a worksite all in all I don t think I would be back Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible

July 22, 2024

I honestly have no idea how this restaurant has 4.6 stars. They don t deserve anything more than a 2. The waiter was patient and did a good job explaining the menu to us but the food was literally comparable to hotdog water. It lacked flavour and was cold and dry. The even messed up the nachos like how can you mess up nachos? While we were eating all the staff was taking a dinner break in the corner of the restaurant and we had a very hard time getting their attention. Honestly a 0/10 experience. Do not dine here if you are looking for authentic Mexican food. This restaurant is a fraud. Taco Bell has a better take on Mexican than here.

I previously had rated this location all 5 stars but after our visit yesterday, it is now truly a 1 star. A few pointers as to why: 1. Atmosphere: The restaurant has a music on its own, the kitchen as well so youre simultaneous listening to noise given two different tracks are playing at the same time. On top of that, theres serious mold growing at the entrance of this location and on the stairs to come in, wish I couldve taken a picture. 2. Service: The server was on her phone 90% of the time, and when she wasnt, she was chatting, laughing loudly w the kitchen and w her being the only server, really couldnt care less about the service. She forgot to bring a few items that we had requested and had repeatedly asked for. And we had to come to stand to go pay as she wouldnt come out of that kitchen. When I got nearby, I noticed she was just on her phone + eating. 3. Food: The beef and chicken soup were ok, but the tacos? Terrible. Seems like the cilantro and onions were chopped in a hurry because there was pieces as big as my finger on it. The meat was over seasoned and simply not good. The only one that was actually good, is the carnitas. This place doesnt even offer el pastor. Surprised this location has been able to keep their 4.6 rating, it is clearly being mismanaged as it used to be better... Truly unfortunate.

We have ordered from here with Uber eats many times and love the food. We decided to go and try it in person. That was a mistake. The food was disappointing even though we ordered the same things we get delivered. Gave it 3 stars to balance between delivery and dine in. The decor (decorations, corelle plates, etc.) wasn t great but the chairs were nice and comfortable. The service was attentive but they missed the appetizer and brought it after the mains when we pointed it out. They don t sell alcohol at the moment per a hand printed note they attach to their menu. Unfortunately we won t be returning but maybe we ll try delivery again.

Dont waste your time people. Tasteless food. No flavor whatsoever. No seasoning. 20 dollars per entre and not even the quantity of food was worth it. Soggy rolled tacos. Got soggy from the walk from the restaurant to the metro parking lot to eat. Stick to faleenas.

The enchiladas were not cooked in the mole. Which did not help the dry flavorless chicken. The Taco Dorados were disappointing and overpriced. If you order two fillings, you get two of each. Cheese would help the dry middling barbacoa. Beans and rice was the best part. Go to Sí Señor

I m modifying my 5 star review because of the reduction in quality, portion size and taste. I am pretty sure my enchiladas were just already made rotisserie chicken. I didn t mind the slow and bad service because the food was actually good, but now I definitely will not be returning. Look at the amount of recent reviews saying the same, you are losing customers because you re cutting corners and it is affecting the quality of your food.

The food is good but notice they are now part of shrikflation epidemic that has hit restaurants . The enchiladas used to be packed with meat and longer in the plate. $51 for two orders of enchiladas!!!!! . Sorry. More and more we are deciding not to eat out or take out for these reasons.

EDIT 2024/March **ordered a few times since my initial review and I m super sad at how things seem to be going downhill. Prices are up and the portions are tiny! Like the burritos are half the size they used to be for like $4 more. The burritos at places like Chipotle and Mucho Burrito are double the size and half the price. I really hope this place reevaluates whatever change they ve made in the last couple months and gets things back on track. I m totally fine paying $65 for two burritos and some chips .but when the burritos start looking more like the size of McDonalds snack wraps I can t justify the price anymore. *****ORIGINAL REVIEW 2023****** Always a great experience and delicious food !!! The staff are all friendly and the food is made fresh to order and authentic. We drive from the other end of Ottawa just to come have food here every so often.

Went there for the first time last week and I will return. At first glance, it looks like they might not be open as they seem to be in the last stages of finishing construction. But the tables, chairs and banquettes were comfortable and the host/server was welcoming and knowledgeable. (also, points for a large and clean bathroom) I had the Chilaquiles, a dish Id never tried before. It was a very tasty messy dish, with puffed up tortilla pieces as the base and then covered with salad, a bean stew, sauces and cheese. I was suprised at how filling it was. The flavours were fresh and piquant - although not too hot, as Id asked for milder sauces. I tried a type of iced-tea made with tamarind and it was an interesting - in a good way - blend of sweet and tart. My companion had tacos with beef and also found them flavourful and fresh. Finally, we shared a piece of 3 leches cake which was rich and moist. We both agreed that this was a good place to enjoy a casual meal at a reasonable price and that wed go back. Vegetarian options: Lots of tasty vegetarian options, as you would expect with Mexican cuisine. Kid-friendliness: Family came in with children and they all seemed happy and relaxed, as its not a fancy dining experience.

If you have allergies or food sensitivities, it is imperative that youre clear about them. I asked for no cilantro. My food was brought to me with cilantro, and when I asked for no cilantro again, scraped off and returned to me. The portions are small, but the food seems to be good value for the money you pay. The salsa verde is excellent; a good option for no-spice folks because its still zesty. The menu font is extremely difficult to read, and the language is too vague. This led to someone from our party getting something completely different than they expected. Overall, not too bad and our party left full and satisfied.

The food is okay but the service is terrible. How can they always have ONE person serving?! Sat for 25 minutes before she even acknowledged us. This was the second and last time.

Fantastic food, maybe my favourite mexican place in the city. Its authentic, well portioned, flavourful food. I could honestly close my eyes and pick a random menu item and know im going to enjoy it.

Food was quite good. Portion size could be bigger and steep charge for sides - $70 dinner for a couple and a baby and we got home to three hungry bellies. We all had to eat again.. Dietary restrictions: Our son has a dairy allergy, so we normally order rice and beans at Mexican restaurants. The rice here is made with butter. There was no alternative rice, so we ordered guacamole. It never came.

Ordered the nachos with chicken got home no chicken had to go back and get what I payed for then when eating realized no cheese and if there was very little will not go back again and my advice is if you get takeout Chec k it before you leave might save you a trip back

Food was not bad, though portions could definitely be bigger. They mixed me up a nice chelada. Service was very good, very pleasant young lady. The restaurant did get almost too loud to talk; some acoustical tiles would likely help.

BEST Mexican food in Ottawa, hands down ! My dad and I dined in last night. My veggie tacos were so tasty! Service was also amazing. Really glad there s a bigger inside space to eat now, however, it was quite loud in there because there was a lot of people and kids so it was hard to hear server, etc. Highly recommend this place ! Will always come back. Vegetarian options: Great veggie options.

The food is tasty, the service is great but zero atmosphere. Consider painting the walls red, add color by incorporating wall art, sombreros and other Mexican flair. Visit La Bonita restaurant or the Mexican restaurant on rue Principal in Aylmer for inspiration. Create an atmosphere means creating an experience and ensuring returning guests. A small investment for a great return!

Great authentic Mexican food. We ordered burrito, taco, enchilada and sopa. Everything was flavourful and portion size was decent. They just moved into this place so the ambiance is not that great but plenty of seating and ample parking in the back.

I ordered a veggie quesadilla for takeout and received three plain tacos with cheese and veggies. They were super disappointing. If I had ordered a taco I would ve at least gotten some form of protein with it. These were plain, greasy, and almost inedible. The sour cream also tasted a bit off. Days later, I still have an unsettled stomach. My partner was happy with his burrito. The only thing I was able to eat entirely was the Mexican rice which I enjoyed.

Came for dinner, and order the chicken enchiladas with salsa Roja. Ill start with the food. It came out slightly above room temperature. The salsa was fantastic, the corn tortillas for the enchiladas was very flavourful, but the shredded chicken filling was incredibly bland and disappointing, why a different protein couldnt be selected from their list, Im not totally sure. I know its meant to be mixed with the salsa, which is fine, but it just felt underwhelming. At the same time, the whole dish was pretty salty, not so much that its necessarily off-putting, but salty enough that you notice theres more than is needed. The rice and beans were okay, but the quantity of rice for a $20 plate wasnt what I expected, and I was still a little hungry after finishing the meal. I did try a bit of my partners tortilla soup, which I havent had before and tasted decent, and was quite hot. Maybe just not to my tastes, but it had large pieces of nachos on it, that were hard to eat on a spoon. I also tried a bite of their burrito, and the flour tortilla was decent, but I preferred the corn. Their chicken a plancha was quite flavorful, and Id wished it was an option in my enchiladas. But their burrito also came out room temp, but overall was a much larger portion than my enchiladas. The burrito was also too salty. The service was lacking a bit, had to ask for refills of water because they never checked or came around to refill, and they never came to ask how everything tasted once it was served. The atmosphere was...bad. the music was fairly loud, but there was different music also coming from the kitchen. The decor is...the place is still being renovated but parts of the wall were torn up where a bench must have been, and where I was seated was freezing because the AC was blasting directly on me. The plates were metal but also felt very cheap and kind of like cafeteria food. Overall, I wanted to give a 3.5, and Id be willing to give it another try, but Id probably just order in.

Disappointed. Food wasn t too bad - it was ok . Found hair in our chips and a long piece of hair in my partners burrito . We let the server know - she didn t even apologize just looked surprised. They didn t even offer to make a new one or take it off the bill or even a discount which is odd . Also the service wasn t the best . She didn t check on us , didn t refill our waters . Everyone was done their plates of food and we still sat and waited for over 10 mins for the bill, which we had to wave someone down for. My first and last time going to this restaurant. ***update - my partner and I both got food poisoning.

Family friend recommended this place and glad they did. Service was fast and polite. Food was so good and quick to arrive. We had tacos dorados and mole enchiladas which were delicious and authentic Mexican. Chips and guacamole for starters. Hands down best restaurant guacamole besides my wife s ! Only downside was they were unable to serve alcohol as they we re waiting for their updated liquor license and no Toco Chico

Went here for a quick bite to eat and was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere, food, and service. The restaurant was quite busy for a late lunch and our server quickly had us seated with a drink in front of us. The menu is simple and executed perfectly. Food came out fast, hot, and absolutely delicious. My only qualm is that we asked for cilantro to be on the side which it was not. We will be back!

Love the food absolutely. Can the service be better, for sure! Recently went and the waitresses were pretty busy with the orders for pickup . But didnt even bother to come to our table until my wife went and asked for menu cards after 8 mins. There was 1 only other table occupied other than ours. After that it was smooth. Also, this is the second time we had an experience like this here. Would definitely appreciate better service.

Two stars is not enough because I didnt totally dislike it. Close though. The artfully applied mole sauce and crema couldnt disguise the fact that the enchiladas contained only a small amount of somewhat dry chicken. The accompanying mashed black beans and rice was tasty enough. The thin metal plate the meal came on might be fine for the restaurants kitchen oven but it quickly loses its heat. The meal was cold halfway through eating. Sitting near the window, I noticed that the windows lacked any finishing trim. Started looking around and saw that the whole restaurant lacked any sort of baseboard trim. On one wall, an electrical outlet protruded onto the floor with some conduit coming out the wall. Online photos are misleading. They show a colourful interior. Apparently these are from the previous location. Current look is dull concrete gray with almost no decoration. No liquor license yet $7 for a 0% Corona. Check your bill carefully before paying. An extra entree was added to ours. Bottom line. Not worth the visit.

Very good food. But the place is dirty and poorly managed and maintained. Even staff expressed frustration with the lack of efforts from the manager to finish their renovations and clean the place properly. To waste their good reputation with such negligence is sad. They were more cautious about their place when they opened their first restaurant on Montreal road. They should know that here, what you show at the front is a sign of how careful you are in the kitchen. Ill wait before going again. I was very disappointed by such neglect. Patrons eating on-site deserve just a little bit more care.
