BISTRO MEXICANA 129 REVIEWS

Best Mexican restaurant in Gatineau. Very nice terrasse and good service. We had the beef tacos, the nachos and the fajitas. Food is very good. We also had the sangria which is, you guess, very good. It's a very popular restaurant when it's sunny. Cannot reserve unless you have a group of at least 10 people. Parking is limited.

Seriously looove it here. My friends / spouse and I come here at least once every two weeks. The space is great. The inside has cool seating, love how open the upstairs is. And in the summers their patio is a whole vibe. The service is awesome, the staff are very knowledgeable in the menu - most know exactly what is gluten free and how they could accommodate it to be dairy free. Theyre always honest about wait times in the kitchen when it’s busy which is something I really appreciate. At this point we’ve tried almost all their taco filling - my favorite is a tie between the pork and the chicken tinga. The fajitas are also really flavourful. Lately the obsession has been to get appys - the chicken wings are so good, and the dressing on the house salad is awesome. Honestly do yourself a favor and give this place a try.

The flavours of the food we had were exquisite. This is definitely authentic Mexican food. The service was perfect. I'm picky when it comes to food, but I was so mesmerized by what I was eating that I had forgotten the company I was in. I am definitely recommending this place for a fun day stop or date night! Will definitely be back for more.

AZTA TAQUÉRIA REVIEWS

Awesome atmosphere! Raspberry margaritas to die for. Solid tacos and the new salsas really make it worth the trip.

Loved the vibe of this place! The food was delicious, and the decor is absolutely stunning. Will definitely be coming back.

Beautiful decor, tasty and delicious.

NOCHE MAYA REVIEWS

I got a takeout order from here. Friends and I were staying in Gatineau. Tequila and beer had been enjoyed throughout the day. I was the only sober one, so we checked out the Noche Maya menu, and I went and ordered food from the restaurant. Melanie, the waitress, rang up the order and graciously itemized the cost of the chimichangas, burrito, and the salsa and chips order. Oh, did I mention it had started to rain and I was on a motorcycle Well, it was raining, and I packed the 8 or 9 takeout packages into my Harley's tour box. No salsa was spilled on the way back to the motel! The hot food was hot and delicious, and the salads were cool and tasty! Just the right meal when you've been drinking tequila and Coronas in a motel parking lot with good friends. Melodie told me it was their first take out order. I think they did extremely well.

I've been going to this place for six years. I don't understand why some people rate it three stars. The service is great, the fair price is you can order drinks and food that are not on the menu. Great atmosphere with Latin music and a great view. I highly recommend it.

Nice place, great patio, clean and friendly staff. View on the river. Menu is limited and did not have desert. Was great evening and experience. Sangria and daiquiri, entrees. I will go back just for tacos. Has burritos and chimichangas.
