Traditional Mexican cuisine |
742 Bank Street Ottawa, ON K1S 3V4 Canada +1 613 233 2010 http://www.feleenas.com/ |
This traditional Mexican restaurant is a popular Glebe hangout in the summer, when the patio is usually packed with patrons sipping cool margaritas and enjoying fresh food from the south. In the winter, the colonial-style interior is also inviting. The food is delicious and filling, and daily specials are usually well worth exploring. But be warned, the menu features authentic Mexican food. Fans of the blander offerings of Tex-Mex restaurants such as burritos and enchiladas will be disappointed - that said, the Fajita Platters are legendary affairs. Review © 2007, Wcities |
