What Lisa D likes about El Camino:
Fantastic! Great service, super friendly staff, very efficient. beautifully presented pretty cocktails. Every taco on the menu is good and I will come back again. I would definately say the lamb taco is a mustr try. View all feedback. What Анастасія Кравчук doesn't like about El Camino:
I went on a Saturday afternoon with my two daughters. We were seated and given water and menus right away. There were a good number of staff working and the restaurant was busy but not full. We waited at least 30 minutes for a server to come, but ended up leaving before anyone took our order. View all feedback.

Half an hour wait for cold and poor quality tacos. Bad experience in Ottawa. Poor service. I do not recommend it.
