El Padrino Restaurant is a small, cozy place that offers an authentic Mexican and Salvadoran dining experience. The menu features a variety of dishes, with standout options including the chicken tacos, pupusas, and quesadillas. Many customers praise the food as "excellent," "savory," and "spicy," and note that the portions are generous. Visitors have enjoyed dishes like tortilla soup and red pozole, considering them some of the best in the city. The quesabirria is the best in Calgary and the Al pastor tacos are excellent. The bean and cheese pupusa was also very good. The food was AMAZING and SO WORTH IT. This beautiful, cute little restaurant is a hidden gem filled with great people. The owner is so kind and great to chat with and the server was so sweet & kind. Since they make all dishes fresh there was a bit of a wait but it is a gem of a place that many customers plan to visit again.
