I tried this place like ten years ago & remembered how much I loved it. Went back recently & food is still good but the burrito we had lacked flavor. I'm not sure if it was the meat being under seasoned but it didn't have much taste. Tacos are really good though. The horchata was also good but very pricey (comes in a mason jar) but I left the mason jar so maybe I was supposed to keep the mason jar hence the price ? Stick to just ordering the tacos.View more
Family run business making amazing authentic Mexican cuisine, they even have the Mexican Coca-Cola if you ask for it! Great place for lunch or dinner. Tacos are my fav as I can have different meats with each.View more
The best burrito in Ottawa! Owners are super nice, always have a smile on their face! Absolutely delicious foodView more
Do not get to eat here as often as I would like but when I'm in the market there's nowhere else I'd eat. Mamacita y Papacito are numero uno for traditional Mexican cuisine. Hasta pronto mi amigos!View more
À chaque fois que je vais à Ottawa je passe au Corazon de Maiz pour me prendre un burrito. La nourriture est simplement délicieuse, fraîche & d'une qualité inégalée. Le personnel est hyper gentil & fier de leur commerce. It's a must go si vous aimez la nourriture mexicaine.View more

A small Mexican shack nestled in the bustling byward market. The price is definitely in the higher side (we paid $8 for one taco). They had lot of homemade sauce options, overall tasty food.View more
I have been coming to Corazon De Maiz for years. Not only is it the best Burrito place in Ottawa, they also have the best salsas which I always buy to use at home. The owner is one of the most friendly, generous, & caring people you will ever meet. He always goes above & beyond to make customers super happy!
This place is the hidden gem of mexican food in Ottawa. By far the best burritos in Ottawa, but also their nachos are spectacular. Note for those who like spicy, they have their own spices which they will let YOU put on when they make your burrito. That is by far the best way to ensure adequate spice levels.View more
Best mexican food I've had. Absolutely fantastic. If you're in the area you have to drop by!View more
Really good food! Seems authentic & the pricing was pretty reasonable compared to nearby restaurants. I wish for a little more seating though.View more
Service très rapide & prix intéressant.
J'ai pris la salade mexicaine format Large & elle était vraiment grosse. À noté que je suis quand même un poids lourds avec un gros appétit. Le format small devrait faire l'affaire pour un humain normal.
Bon choix de sauce elles étaient bien épicés.View more
Good food, very good service, decent atmosphere in the most happening location. Best place to energize after exploring the busiest street markets in Toronto- Byward market. Price range is slightly higher for a street shop; government must seriously do something about the cost of living situation the country & its people are dealing with.View more
Love this place! Been going for years & even though it pricer this year the food is still worth it. Fresh & made with love make it worth every penny.
I usually get a set of 3 pork tacos. They come stuffed (with two shells too) & with a decent side of guacamole & pico de gallo. You also get a choice of two hot sauces out if there selection that very in spice level (I get mild ones like chipotle & salsa verte). If you’re feeling like drinking something sweet I recommend the horchata (rice based drink) too.
Additionally, Mexican owned & run which if the big big plus too! Love support smaller family shops like this.
Go for it & try them out sometime! It’s worth it.View more
Authentic Mexican food. I travel quite a bit & always make a point of it to visit Corazon de Maíz when ever I am in Ottawa!
Try their hot sauces. Delish!

We had 2 lovely burritos for lunch here as we just happened to walk by. Probably the best burritos we have ever eaten. They were so tasty & fresh, the tortilla was lovely & crispy. The selection of hot sauces were delicious & I would definitely buy the sauces separately. Service was friendly - I would definitely recommend the place & already have to my friends who live in Ottawa!
