" Tapatios is a gem in Ottawa! I was drawn in by the reviews, and they did not disappoint. The plump enchiladas were bursting with flavor, paired with a zesty avocado sauce. Each dish is clearly made with fresh ingredients. Our waiter was attentive but did not hover, striking a nice balance. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors!

" I was really looking forward to trying this place after hearing great things, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectations. The tacos were quite small for the price, and the flavoring was bland, but the service was kind. I think I might try a different dish the next time. " (*Curated Review*)
