A taste of El Salvador in Ottawa
Our Story...
Ottawa's cultural landscape has evolved significantly over the last 25 years. Back in the early 90s, David and I had to make the two-hour drive to Montreal whenever we craved our comfort foods from El Salvador—that's where the closest pupuserias were located!
We opened La Cabaña in Ottawa in May 1996. While we felt some pride in establishing Ottawa's first Salvadoran eatery, we are even happier that we can provide a taste of El Salvador to our fellow Ottawans.
Hasta luego?
Amig@s, we are sorry to announce that as of Monday, June 17th, 2024, we are no longer located on Merivale Rd. Our store, La Tiendita, has found a new home in Chinatown at 615 Somerset. In the meantime, Doña Irma is looking for options for the restaurant while enjoying a bit of a break.
