"La Fiesta Latina in Ottawa has an extensive gluten-free menu. As someone with dietary restrictions, it was refreshing to have so many menu choices available. The star of the show was definitely the nachos. They were some of the best we've ever had! The tacos were also a hit, boasting generous portions of protein and clearly prepared with care. The friendly staff added another layer of enjoyment to our experience. Our server was both polite and attentive, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. The restaurant itself was clean and provided a unique atmosphere that complemented the delicious food. Overall, La Fiesta Latina offered a fantastic dining experience with exceptional gluten-free options, friendly service, and a clean, unique setting."

"We were really excited to try this place. It looked so cute from the outside and was also cute inside. They advertised many vegan and vegetarian plates, especially tacos. The service was good. The food was ok, but nothing too great, besides there being a wide variety of vegan choices."

"I always like to frequent authentic Mexican restaurants in Ottawa, and this one is good! The food was delicious, a bit overpriced for the quantity, but good. The seating is a little limited, so I would avoid going if you’re a full group because you’re not guaranteed to have seat. The atmosphere was good, clean spot with clean facilities. Overall would recommend this spot!"

"This place is a gem of happiness. Just super cute, nice service, great menu and their prices are pretty good too. Just a crazy good, chill vibes. The tacos are good, though not the best in the city. Everything else including their soups are awesome. I would classify it as a blessing in Ottawa."

"A clean and well decorated restaurant with friendly service. Offers a wider variety of dishes than you can get at other Mexican restaurants in Ottawa, but are still high quality and delicious. The prices are about the same as you'd get at a chain sit-down restaurant, but with WAY WAY WAY better quality."

"Absolutely delicious authentic Mexican food! Our Mexican friend was impressed. Salsas are so tasty, good depth of flavour and a HUGE variety of dishes! Vegan and vegetarian options are also so tasty! Can’t wait to come again. I got the Quesa Birria and my mouth was dancing with happiness"

"Food was great, but fell apart easily because of how it was plated. Didn't impact the flavor at all though and will definitely be back! Super comforting to know there are great places that are super safe for celiacs. Only impact on the atmosphere was the dining area is small, so when the door opened, you felt the cold - a lot."

"This has got to be the best Mexican food I have had in Canada so far. It's just so authentic and tasty. The flavors are fantastic and the portions are pretty good for the prices. I really love that they made their own hot sauce. The service was really friendly too."
