Day 9 of Supporting Local this winter series! 🌮 $5 tacos that taste like authentic Mexico in the heart of Ottawa! Aztec Tacos in Vanier is a hidden gem serving up some of the best Mexican food in the city. This small family-run spot is bursting with flavor and good vibes from the moment you step inside.
Taco Tuesday deal: Buy 2 tacos, get the 3rd FREE!
Pro tip: They double up the corn tortillas (true Mexican style!), so when the filling spills, you’ve got a bonus taco ready to go. Perfect for sharing too!
Each taco comes loaded with fresh cilantro, onions, salsa verde, and salsa roja. The flavors? UNREAL. You can really taste the love this family puts into every single bite. We went all out and tried basically the whole menu. Trust me, you NEED to visit this place.
