What User doesn't like about Ola Cocina:
I went here with friends. They serve tap water that tastes of chlorine. We weren't offered anything else to drink. Food was not the best. The meat seemed overcooked, very dry. Little pricey on the extras. A small dish of quacamole was 7 dollars. The waiter didn't seem to want to be there. He didn't help with any questions and was very rush rush I do not recommend this place. View all feedback. What User likes about Ola Cocina:
Ola Cocina may not look like a great restaurant from outside. We just happened to be hungry and in that neighborhood when we first went there. But the food is great. They have many different tacos almost all delicious. There are other tasty choices too including most traditional Mexican dishes. This is the best place in town for tacos though. View all feedback.

Great price and service. Best Mexican food I have had in Ottawa. It's a small place and they don't take reservations. We will be going back when want Mexican

While some diners were disappointed with the size and taste of the dishes, others found this Mexican restaurant to be a gem. The flavors were praised for their authenticity and innovation, with a variety of unique taco options available. The atmosphere added to the experience, with outdoor seating and a cute, colorful decor. Those with dietary restrictions also found accommodating options. Despite some mixed reviews, this restaurant seems to have something for everyone, making it a popular spot for delicious Mexican cuisine in Ottawa.

Amazing spot. The food, the atmosphere and the service are on point. Do yourself a favour and try all of their house hot sauces. You won't regret it.
