Pancho Villa - Ottawa

We love this place; we go often. Their fajita nachos are amazing and their tamales (which they don’t have all the time) are my favourite. Oh, and their mole sauce is to die for. In my opinion, best in the city.

This is Not authentic Mexican food. Also the chicken was unseasoned and cold, the rice tasted like it was reheated in the microwave. The beans are a cold and dry mush. The side salad is only lettuce and some shredded carrot. The only good thing here was the their “spicy” green chili sauce and it wasn’t even spicy. Not worth it.

Holy this place is good. great portion, great drinks awesome combo options that are really well priced. Chips salsa taste homemade so good. Get the mucho sized drink, you won’t regret it.Vegetarian options: Tons of veggie options

Poor imitation for the cost. Guacamole with not an ounce of flavor. No cilantro, no lime, no salt. Enchiladas that didn’t appear to be baked and contained chicken and mashed avocado posing as guacamole with melted cheese, some lettuce and what tasted like French dressing. No flavor. The fried ice cream…the cornflake coating had no cinnamon and was like chewing wax. The service, however, was great. I wish I could say the same about the food.

Great restaurant with a nice patio space if you don't mind the road noise. The service was great and the food was fantastic. Too bad they ran out of tamales, but the mole enchiladas were fantastic.
