Affordable prices, tasty Mexican food . What is better than that? Generous portions , this is one of your best cheap eats in Ottawa!
This was delicious. The flavor was immense. Had the chicken quesadillas which were great. Was packed on our visit - that and the plaques on the wall testify that I'm not alone in liking this place.
Tried this place out for the first time and I gotta say I was pretty pleased for the most part. I ordered the 3 taco dish, tasted great but just a little pricey for the size of the tacos .
Once your waitress has given you a table and menus, go to the cash at the back to place your order. Then pick up some salsas at the salsa bar and return to your table to wait for your meal.
A great little hole in the wall . Cheap and delicious Mexican food . Don't forget to check the bar with fresh hot sauces and herbs
Authentic mexican in a casual cafeteria style environment. I like it but i would like some slightly hotter salsas available too!
Best nachos in Ottawa! Ahora is delicious in every way, and is pretty inexpensive to boot.
Don't buy the chips and salsa - get the guacamole and then you can get salsa from the salsa bar !
Lucky for you if you visit on a day they have Alfajores, their dulce de leche sandwich cookies . Try the Burrito de Pollo , Tortilla Soup and Sangria but skip the bland Enchilada de Pollo . Read more
This place has the best burritos and tacos , all for a great price. Never left unsatisfied
Burritos are delicious, and really cozy place with kind staff
It tends to get a little crowded and noisy , but the food is really good.
One of the best places in the city for Mexican! Give the Quesadillas de Carne a try, you won't be disappointed!
One of the few great Mexican restaurants in Ottawa. It's very casual , and has lots of spicy salsas to garnish your dish. Too spicy ? Wash it down with some horchata .
You order at the counter and they bring it to your table when ready.
The vegan burrito is amazing!! Great salsa bar . Highly recommended.
Fantastic salsa selection.
Go to Ahora and have the Taco , Taco and get some of the fantastic salsa verde from the salsa bar...lots of cilantro too...mmmm!
The burrito is so good :)
Get the horchata ! Sooo good!
The speciality: ahora plate
Excellent! Great Mexican food .
Awesome sauce bar , but could be spicier.
Great service
The tacos weren't that good. They were too dry... Order the enchilada instead, it was great!
Best nachos in the city .
Absolutely the best Mexican in the city !
Not good at all I'm sorry to say! Everything tasted old and The whole group got sick from the food. Would not go back and don't recommend at all.
Really busy might want take out though
Great burritos !
Great AUTHENTIC Mexican food ! Love the place
Their horchata is really good!
It's a nice mexican restaurant ,the staff is kind!
Fresh and delicious.
The food was very bland, not as tasty, rice was hard, no flavor in chicken , and the meat was chewy and stale. I would not recomend this place..especially because it is way over priced
Bestexican in town . For vegetarians try the Enchiladas Vegetariana!
It's a little overpriced IMHO. Ottawa is plagued with expensive Mexican whereas other cities know the beauty of a dollar taco . I also find it a little bland.
The best nachos in canada
My favorite Mexican place. Plato ranchero is delicious!

Aux Delices bakery has the best gingerbread you can find! It's so soft and they decorate it using shapes and icing. - Nakita Gomes
