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. 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.

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