A must stop every time we are in Ottawa. Have been coming here for over 20 years and don’t miss one of our meals at Zak’s!

Rather confusing experience. I wanted to go to Zak‘s Cantina but it seems like the Cantina is closed and only Zak‘s dinner is open. The employee told me it’s the same but the menu is different than Zak‘s cantina. Not what I expected but the quesadilla was decent.

amazing food and service, highly recommend.

We came from Toronto and loved the Cantina when we came the first time. The tacos and chiro were amazing. We came the second time, and was disappointed that the cantina closed and amalgamated with the Zaks diner. All the good items from the cantina was discontinued. The worse part is that the website has not updated: (ie. cantina still open), and so we felt betrayed. In short, don’t come if you want to eat cantina food.

If I could give it a zero, I truly would. I had the beef quesadilla and chicken taco. The tortillas were dry, falling apart and had an odd taste. I ended up getting food poisoning. I do not recommend!!!!

The place is a good experience...especially if you have kids and want to sit inside a bus. Covid protocols are in place. Food quantity is good and the service being covid with reduced staff was good as well

Their is nothing that I dont enjoy at the Cantina ! Weather it's eating a chimichanga inside a bus or having some chips and guac on the patio, this place is great ! The decorations for Día de los Muertos are amazing ❤️ Staff is always super friendly and the service is always quick ! ??

personnel super!

It was the first time that I've been there. It was good.

great food. great service. great atmosphere
