Feelena’s: A True Taste of Mexico in the Heart of the Glebe

If you’re strolling down Bank Street in the Glebe and your nose catches the scent of fresh tortillas, sizzling spices, and simmering sauces, chances are you’re near Feelena’s — a local gem that brings the bold, vibrant flavours of East Los Angeles-style Mexican cuisine straight to Ottawa.

A Family-Owned Staple with Deep Roots

Owned and operated by Clyde Ross, who has been a beloved part of the  Mexican food scene for over 38 years. With roots tracing back to Clyde’s childhood in East L.A., the dishes served here are more than just meals — they’re memories. Clyde has dedicated his career to recreating the food he grew up loving, and it shows in every bite.

Small Team, Big Heart

Feelena’s might be small in size, but the passion behind the operation is anything but. The team consists of just three kitchen staff and five front-of-house employees, many of whom have worked with Clyde for years. This tight-knit crew ensures you’ll enjoy a warm, consistent experience every time you visit — whether you’re grabbing takeout or settling in for a dine-in meal.

Authentic Mexican, Made In-House

From salsas and sauces to beans and chips, everything at Feelena’s is made from scratch in-house. That dedication to authenticity makes each dish pop with fresh, layered flavours you simply can’t find just anywhere. Whether you’re in the mood for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or something totally new, you’re guaranteed to taste the love and craftsmanship that goes into every plate.

An Atmosphere That Feels Like Home

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by an eclectic, colorful decor that changes periodically — a creative touch curated by Clyde’s wife, Ann. The atmosphere is warm, artistic, and inviting — the perfect backdrop for a night out with friends, a relaxed family dinner, or even a casual date night.

And in the warmer months? Be sure to snag a spot on their cozy patio, beautifully decorated to match the vibrant energy inside.
