Reviews for Banditos in Ottawa, ON
This place has a really nice and huge patio!! That is the biggest plus. The menu is very limited, you can basically go here for... a drink and snack. If you want more then that go to a different place. The location is great, right in the middle of bankstreet, great for people watching. The nachos were pretty good, not spectacular but fine with sangria and beer. The waitresswas nice and service was good. Would go again for a cold drink and snack ???? Read more
Excellent service matched by excellent food. A concentrated menu offering Mexican cuisine staples. Their specialties are the... tacos! Fish, Brisket, Jerk Chicken and Beef were all delicious. The taco May look small but it packs a lot of substance, andmost of all flavour! Their Banditas draught is delicious. More flavour than a Corona but still on the light side. Perfect matchfor the tacos. Traditional Margarita was excellent as well. Had the corn as an app and it was also nicely done. Presentation isalways great! Churros had the perfect sweetness and the dipping was the perfect accompaniment. Huge patio, highly recommended! Read more
Great taco options. Tried the jerk chicken, fish, cauliflower, and brisket tacos. Very balanced in flavours and the jerk chicken... and cauliflower were just spicy enough to cause a minor sweat but tingle the tongue. The variety of tequilas are also anothergreat reason to try Banditos. Service was excellent as were the serving suggestions. Read more
Great lunch! The host was excellent and friendly and he was SO thoughtful in seating us. There was the giant storm coming and he... made sure we had rain cover. The food was delish and reasonably priced. Definitely would go again. Read more
The tacos are delicious here! They are surprising filling as well.. I ordered three but could only finish two. The nachos were... yummy too, however I would have preferred if they came with a side of salsa and guac. The watermelon margarita is also amazing!The only con was it took a while to get some service. It had seemed the staff had forgotten about us as many other tables wereserved first! Read more
Server was very much present, we didn't need to wait for her to come to our table when we needed her. We ordered rounds upon... rounds of drinks and they came quickly. Food was excellent, some of the best tacos I've ever had. Big selection that pack a lotof different flavours. Private bathrooms, wheelchair accessible. Looking forward to patio season. Read more
As winter slowly melts into spring, and as restrictions slowly ease, it felt good to dine-in. It was a quiet Saturday afternoon... and we were promptly greeted and seated. This Southern Californian, street-food inspired joint has a relaxed vibe. One whereyou can get lost in time with friends and good food. The American Burger (double patty) was delicious and the accompanyingfries were crispy, and golden - a perfect combination! There appeared to be no rust on the service - attentive, thoughtful andengaging. I?ve taken a mental note to revisit and enjoy this spot once the patio weather is back! Welcome Back to indoordining!

Was here with friends. Arrived around 5:30 pm on Sunday and the place was half empty. We asked for the booth seats and were... happy that they agreed to comply cause it?s much more comfortable than dining chairs or counter seats. Ordered an array of thefood and drink. Margherita was not blended, rather with stirred in ice cubes. It was served with a whole chilly and it was waytoo spicy ?.. $14 for 2 1/2 onze?..definitely not my usual exotic type of drink. Most others ordered appetizers Taco seems goodsize and well dressed. I Ordered house burger on promotion and server mentioned a list of the potatoes but did not state theywere extra charge. Almost $20 for the small burger and taters ?. I guess the place is more of the summer place cause it waspretty empty the whole time we were there. However the decor was hip and chic so I would say ambiance is nice and relaxing.Perhaps great to chill and eat appetizers. But am not crazy about their drinks Read more
