Okayish, not that great for the price we paid. The cocktails were good and I tried the cauliflower tacos which were just okay. Not a lot of vegetarian options though.Also be prepared to wait for really long time to place orders or get the food. We even had to wait a long time for someone to get us napkins.

Yes, the food is good, but be ready for an annoyingly disorganized evening. My party was asked three times to confirm our order, they brought out food we hadn't ordered, and multiple times we had to wait over 20 minutes to have someone come over to take food/drink orders. It's a poorly organized joint and while I understand the "model" of the restaurant is to have tacos come out as they're made, I don't buy it. I think it's straight up just not caring enough about client experience, and veiling disorganization into some 'cool' or 'unique' vibe. Eating a taco solo while everyone else at your table is waiting for theirs is just strange and anti-communal.

Food was good. But when we got there place was empty so we thought we were going to get our food at a decent time. All in all it took over 2 hours to get our food. Hostess was very unnatentive not even checking in to see if we were ready to order. She was more interested in cleaning the table then making eye contact and actually serving us.

This place is incredible. We come here every time we’re in Ottawa after discovering the Shrimp Betel Leaf dish. IMHO, start with this. You might order more than one for yourself. Both locations are great but Betel Leaf might be better at Clarence location. Fantastic food, solid and committed staff. Tops all around.

Guys, why does it take so long to get food here!? What is going on!? A lovely bar tender came up and asked my husband and I if we were taken care of and although we were, it takes over 30 minutes to get some tacos? Y'all. This needs to be better.

The tacos are very good, HOWEVER, if you are at a table close to the entrance, you will literally freeze the whole time. I think a heater by the front door would go a long way…

Best tacos in town.The carne was added sometime last year - it is my personal favorite. Among other faves are the ox tongue, the crispy fish, the pig head and the lamb tacos.. the squid ap is amazing.Possibly the best margaritas in town. Roman is your guy.Thanks guys!

Terrible experience at El Camino.Paying roughly 8-10$ per medium sized taco is insane. 2oz of rum in a drink that costs 18$.The server did not provide any utensils, or plates, or napkins. Thankfully I was right by the station and got them myself while she was chatting with the barman.Cups of water that were never refilled. Not once has the server bothered to check in on us.The restaurant was cold, the bathroom upstairs was barely at 10C.Find elsewhere to eat, you'll be happier.

I’m sorry but only a fool would shell out nearly $10 for a single taco.
