South of the Border

I was in Ottawa for the week and decided to get some Mexican at a taqueria called Kukulkan. The interior interesting with figures painted into the tables, decorations on the walls, and even a tiled roof over the kitchen area.

I opted for the guacamole appetizer ($10.50), cactus salad ($11), and two tacos ($4/each). Each dish had both good and bad points. The guac was fresh and tasty but the accompanying corn chips were too hard. The salad was a little too acidic. The tacos and its ingredients were fresh and quite nice. But the portion was on the small side, surprising given how large the other two plates were. Given the area, pricy gourmet tacos may be a hard sell.
