I went here as part of a food tour for C'est Bon Ottawa. We had a beef taco which was juicy and flavorful. Veggies were fresh. What my FAVORITE part was, was the hot sauces. Each one was flavorful, tasty, and unique in their own. I could not stop eating them, even on their own. Of course, paired with the taco just elevated the experience. Delicious!!

Really it’s just too expensive. 52.00 for 2 people and two burritos. And a burrito that was embarrassingly small. After a horchata and soda plus tax it was 52.00. Oh here's a good part I asked for one nacho to finish my meals and they wanted to charge 3 dollars for one nacho. Obviously it's the rich civil servants that we're all paying their salaries for that can afford all this.

Loved our vegan tacos! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about what vegan means. They took the time to explain which sauces and ingredients were suitable for us. Plenty of space to sit and enjoy the food. Great location in the ByWard Market!

Easily one of the standout dining experiences in Ottawa — this spot delivers on all fronts. From the vibrant location to the warm, attentive service, every detail feels intentional and well-executed. But it’s the Latin-inspired cuisine that truly steals the show. Flavorful, authentic, and beautifully plated, this is hands-down some of the best Latin food in the city. Whether you’re a first-timer or a regular, the consistency and quality never disappoint. If you’re craving bold flavors and a lively atmosphere, this place is a must. #LatinFlavours #OttawaEats #MustTrySpots

Corazon De Maiz was my first meal in Ottawa, and it didn’t disappoint. The beef soft tacos were delicious, packed with way more meat than expected—no need for extra! Prices are a bit high, but the quality and portion size make it worth it. Friendly staff, too. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic, hearty Mexican food with great service! Will definitely return!
