Delicious (like home-made) Latin American food in Ottawa!!
In late September 2023, we went for a Saturday evening dinner at La Paladar restaurant on Bronson Ave. in Ottawa -- and I am sure that we will be back soon!!

The "plato principal" (main dish) and the "tacuba" are both delicious and filling. I love fried plantains, which are a great side. And the meat in both dishes was tender.
