Reviews for Noche Maya in Gatineau, QC

Really enjoyed our meal here on Saturday night. Small place with a nice view of the river. The quacamole was fresh with plenty... of tacos and the burrito and chimichanga were both v tasty. The mains came with a generous green salad with cheese. Service wasfriendly. Read more

Beautiful location. We ordered fajitas and quesadilla and they were amazing. A pitcher of sangria was a perfect addition and it... was perfect to the taste. Friend service:). Definitely the restaurant I'll be visiting again. Read more

4 stars? How??? I’d like to tell how the food was but we didn’t get a chance to, because: Wasps were swarming us, one of my... sons found a dead one at the very bottom of his drink (daiquiri that was covered with mounds of slushy ice on top) and when weshowed the owner she swore at us and then started walking and while looking back saying “next one you’re paying forregardless because it’s an outside restaurant”) ???? Then she went to the bar and started speaking French to her coworkersand they kept staring at us while we tried to eat. Needless to say our dining experience was now uncomfortable so we asked forthe bill without finishing our food and left. Btw…they don’t know how to make a margarita either - telling us “it’ssupposed to only taste like lime in the beginning” is laughable. The margarita was so salty it was like drinking table waterwith salt poured in. Nice view of the water though ???? Read more

Beautiful location with a great view of Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa across the river. Food is solid, but very expensive... compared to the relatively small portion size. Crowd is older so the atmosphere is quite relaxed. Not bad for a quick snackand a pitcher of sangria, but would probably not have a full meal here. Read more

My wife and I tried this little hidden gem the other day. Noche Maya has a great view and a relaxing atmosphere to compliment... it. It's a cozy little spot for a date or to go out with friends. My wife tried two of their cocktails. The first is a sangriacalled "Blue Lagoon" which was a bit on the sweet side for my taste. It had a wonderful balance of citrus and sweetnessdifferent from your typical sangria. It was a great drink to order on a hot day. The second was your typical "Bloody Ceasar"which was very good. It was not too spicy, still had a kick thought, and there was not too much Worcestershire sauce. As for thefood, we tried the Mexican chicken wings called "Alas de Pollo" the wings were juicy and tender. The wings paired well with mayodue to the spices used. The only comment I can make about this dish is the sauce honey sauce they served was not verytasty. Next, my wife tried the "Enchiladas" served with a chocolate sauce, rice and salad. Now I am not a fan of chocolate andmeat together, but they did an excellent job. It does have an acquired taste, so be ready to try something new. For myself, Iwent for a classic and ordered the "Burrito," it was perfect. The burrito did not have too much sauce or not enough. Theingredients were perfectly balanced, and the beef was perfectly cooked (It was still pink!!). Like my wife, my dishes also wereaccompanied by the same salad. It was a green salad with a light and fresh vinaigrette made with herbs, and to top, it hadtomatoes and onions. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a cozy little date spot or to relax with friends.The food and drinks are delicious and worth the price. The service is a bit slow at times, but if you're looking to stay andenjoy a nice patio look no further. Read more

Came to Noche Maya with some buddies on a random Monday, and to be honest this place has the worst "Mexican" food I have ever... had in Gatineau/ Ottawa. The service was ok, but the food was horrible. We ordered Nachos which had burnt chips a side of sourcream and no salsa , the Calamari was 100% frozen and pre-battered. For an the main course I ordered a chicken burrito, afterthinking to myself " they cant mess this up" . Well, they did mess it up. It had no flavor, the cheese inside was not melted ,the rice was white and had no seasoning , and the chicken was boiled. The side Salad didn't have any dressing , and they justthrew some mozzarella cheese on top... Just do yourself a favor and don't come here. I am all for supporting local smallbusiness , but not ones that do not care about what they serve people. Read more

Not exactly a huge fan of Mexican food myself, I really liked this place. Fresh and juicy, the meals were great, and so were... both red and white Sangria's. View of the Ottawa River definitely added to enjoyment of our visit too! Read more

Nice place, great patio, clean and friendly staff. View on the river. Menu is limited and did not have desert. Was great evening... and experience. Sangria and daiquiri, entrees. I will go back just for tacos. Has burritos and chimichangas. Read more
