50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Calgary

“Israel is the best waiter to complement the outstanding food served at Bodega. Israel knows our order by heart and we never have to complain about the service he provides. Bravo Israel and Bodega... We lived in Mexico for 13 years and this food is comparable or better. Kudo's to Bodega...“

“Vine a la taqueria porque me llamo mucho la atencion probar unos tacos, ya que llevaba años sin probar unos buenos tacos. Me pedi unos de birrias y vaya la sorepresa que me dio cuando vi que estaban doraditos y que venian con su consome. No solo eso, estaban riquisimos, recomiendo mucho este lugar si estas en busca de unos buenos tacos. Se la rifo el viejon!“

“I am mexican and this is authentic. The Tacos de Suadero (brisket) are the best I have ever had, even in Mexico. Good prices and Friendly service. Absolutely delicious!“

“I had it a while back with my fiancée! Come check it out when someone gets a chance to!“

“Casa Catrina in Calgary is extraordinary! We have been coming since its first year. Just gets busier and busier as word spreads! Best in all Calgary!“

“Really enjoyed the tacos and soup here during our time in Banff!“

“Taaacoo Tuuuesday!!! 🌮🔥
You seriously can’t go wrong with Taco Tuesday here. Every taco was packed with flavour. We tried the beef brisket, pastor, and baja fish, and wow. The brisket was juicy, the pastor had that perfect balance of sweet and savory, but the baja fish is an absolute MUST-TRY in my opinion. Crispy, fresh, and full of flavour.

Everything hit, vibes were great, and we’ll definitely be back for more tacos. Highly recommend! 👌🌮“

“terrible service tonight...had to ask 3-4 times for part of my order.... never even got out water our whole meal... was never asked how everything was... and it's not very busy...especially with 4 wait staff....terrible experience“

“Hi there, i just wanna thank Arsh for making delicious dinner, although it was my first ever visit to this restaurant yet she handled to make me familiar with all the cuisines. I highly highly recommend this place to everyone as it is extremely hygienic and with multifarious options.“

“wonderful food great lil location“

“Prepare your taste buds for a fiesta! Sabores' menu is a journey through Mexico's rich culinary heritage. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared using fresh, high-quality ingredients, resulting in flavors that dance on your palate. From classic favorites like mouthwatering street-style tacos, enchiladas bursting with cheesy goodness, to their signature platters that sizzle with an array of grilled meats, each bite is a testament to the chef's mastery in the kitchen. Their salsas are an explosion of taste, ranging from mild to tongue-tingling spicy. The guacamole is a creamy, heavenly delight that pairs divinely with tortilla chips. You can tell that they are made fresh with care, complementing the dishes flawlessly. The friendly, attentive and knowledgeable staff at Sabores deserve special mention. Their passion for the cuisine is evident. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone who appreciates genuine Mexican cuisine.“

“Had the pleasure of eating lunch there yesterday for the first time! The food was absolutely amazing, everything was authentic including the salsas. The restaurant is decorated with vibrant Mexican decor and the music was festive, I felt like I was on vacation and visiting a restaurant somewhere in Mexico. We will definitely be returning soon!“

“I really loved Quesada and am very disappointed they took Beyond Meat off the menu. Sadly I will no longer be patronizing them as a result. 😞“

“Best place to have mexican food. always fresh and hot. 😋😋😋“

“I've been three times now and the food has been amazing every time. Comes out very quickly, and there's plenty of meat in the tacos. I really like the carintas and the pescado. The tortillas are so delicious, I'm always tempted to buy the big pack in the freezer. I also like the little salsa bar that they have, though I wish there were small containers you could use. I also wish they had better hours, but when I'm able to make it there, it's so worth it.“

“Delicious pupusas and tostadas! Great value priced menu“

“really good food & big portions“

“Ordered a crispy chicken bowl for me to eat my food a few hours ahead of time and was pleasantly surprised the chicken was still crispy and not soggy unlike chipotle. Food was flavorful and the portion size was great can’t wait to try fresh“

“This place in Calgary hit home... For starters the atmosphere brought nostalgia with retro Corona tables & Pedro Infante portraits, etc. The tacos are amazing, the atmosphere is cosmopolitan but traditional Mexican style, super friendly staff, and the mezcal drinks were on point.“

“Good flavour!! Real Mexican food“

“I don’t review fast food places all that often. But I couldn’t believe how clean this place was. The kitchen was spotless, which in this day and age seems very rare. Food was good and staff were nice. This is now my goto taco time spot.“

“One of the best Mexican restaurants in Calgary. An ever changing menu of delicious food makes this a place to return to and it has never disappointed in all the times I have been there. Located perfectly for a meal and a night out. It's atmosphere speaks to the casual but yet can cater to a more up-scale. Perfect for an intimate date night, a casual dinner, a group function, a quick bite or a social meetup.“

“Los chiles rellenos están excelentes! 100% Recomendados!“

“unbelievable actually how they are made“

“I order the burrito bowl on DoorDash for pickup and they had hard time getting it and when I reached there is was not ready but they made it right away and gave so good amount of food that I had to transfer it to other bowl just love to visit them again and again they are going really good job the girls are just rocking it“

“Love the freshness. -- I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was build-your-own burrito style. I thoroughly enjoyed my personalized giant burrito, with vegan cheese, to boot! And I definitely look forward to coming back. The only thing that would make my burrito better would have been if they had sweet potatoes to add to it.. menu suggestion? :)“

“Forgot to add on my last comment. Their menu comes with amazing pictures so you will see exactly what you are getting.“

“Generally a good experience. Order was ready to go when I arrived. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was good and made to spec. Only issue is the burrito spent too long in the press and was burnt. More then I would say is reasonable and I thought about asking them to remake it. Didn’t as it tasted mostly fine. Overall I would come back but have to knock some off for the poor quality control on that one.“

“I really loved Quesada and am very disappointed they took Beyond Meat off the menu. Sadly I will no longer be patronizing them as a result. 😞“

“It’s a must try/ have. Just note when you do, all you want is to go back. Everything is fantastic, the food, the drink and the people! And the lime Margaritas on the rocks double shot. Omg delicious! I don’t know anywhere that can top what they got going on.“

“Today I picked up some guacamole and corn tortilla chips and a frozen chicken enchilada casserole. All of theses were delicious. Excellent flavours. I would highly recommend shopping at this little store and taking home some super tasty homemade creations. Thank you, Salsita! I will see you again soon.“

“Great service and fun atmosphere“

“I was craving something cheesy and savoury and settled on the Bowl B Box. It was worth it! Reasonably priced, packed full of rice and veggies, good variety! Really good value for money. Plus my server was so pleasant and friendly. Thank you!“

“My son decided to pick this restaurant for his birthday because he'd heard it has very good authentic Mexico food... Well it didn't disappoint. We had 2 reservations for parties of 4 (they don't book larger then 6) but they had no issue sitting us all together. Fantastic, friendly service and great food! We had an awesome time. We also ordered the churro (not on the menu) desert which was devoured in seconds. I would definitely recommend this established Calgary restaurant for its authentic food.“

“Outstanding Service by Khushi!!!

I had an amazing experience at BarBurrito, all thanks to the incredible service from Khushi. She was friendly and super efficient. She greeted me with genuine smile and made sure my order was exactly the way I wanted — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.

It’s rare to see such professionalism and positive energy, especially during busy hours. You can tell she care about her work and customers. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Keep up the amazing work, lady.“

“My second time at Añejo Restaurant after many years, still as good as I remember! We started with the Valentine's tableside guacamole and coconut shrimp — both were fresh, flavorful, and a perfect start. I also loved the cherry margarita. I'm usually hesitant about cherry-flavoured drinks because they can taste like medicine, but this one didn't at all — it was refreshing and so well balanced. Please bring it back (I know it's only a Valentine's special!). We then ordered a variety of tacos and every single one was delicious, and the churros were the perfect sweet ending. Most of all, our server (Liz) was amazing and checked on us throughout the night. Other staff seem very friendly and welcoming as well. Thank you for making our valentine's date a memorable experience! :)“

“We love this location - Crowfoot! The food is always sooooo fresh! The Staff are friendlly and flexible when you want to tweek from their menu. If you have a hankering for Mexicqn food this place and location is a must go to!“

“Ela was an amazing server! She was very bubbly and open. She was patient with taking my order and had an amazing smile. Also, Selwyn was very respectful and took my order well. The food came out quite fast and was quite tasty. I had the beef taco which was a a solid choice and for a good price. Highly recommend if you are going to chinook!“

“This TacoTime Store offers fresh, tasty, and affordable Mexican-inspired food. The tacos and burritos are flavorful, the ingredients taste fresh, and the service is quick and friendly. Perfect spot for a fast meal without compromising on quality :)“

“Tasty, healthy, fresh and affordable meals! Amazing staff! What more could you ask for?“

“I’m not sure how to spell her name but - Jas / Jess was amazing. Came in on a whim craving some tacos with my partner and we were debating between sauces and what we wanted on a mexi fries. She went above and beyond to get us both what we wanted, all the while with a smile on her face and a few good jokes. She was lovely.“

“West Springs strEATS has great food selection as well as prompt and friendly service. The variety on the menu is great as both my husband and I like different food and we can both get what we want without compromising. Highly recommend trying the Mango Shrimp Tacos and Perogy Poutine at this location!“

“Food looks lovely can’t wait to try it🤗“

“I love Chilito's, the food is awesome, authentic and delicious! The service is smiley and quick, the Corona's are always cold! Plus you can check out all the action on 17th Ave! I go with friends, family and business associates, everybody love the place!“

“Wonderful friendly service. The tacos were exactly what I expected, and taco Tuesday pricing makes it a fantastic deal. The ladies were smiling and happy making the entire experience wonderful. The restaurant was also super clean for a fast food joint! Highly recommend if you are in the ne with a fast Mexican itch!“

“This is our number one go to restaurant, me and my kids all LOVE the portion of food they have along with the taste, they have always been friendly when me and my younger children go in and we were always greeted with a hello and a smile. Staff are super friendly and anyone who is looking for yummy Papusa’s id send them here 😊💗 along with carne asada (yum).“

“I am currently here for my 5th time since moving to the area a month ago. I have to commend the team. ALWAYS efficient, friendly, fast and fabulous ingredients. I am Vegan so the beyond meat can be dry. I always find this location to have FRESH ingredients. No dry beyond crumble. Thank you for having such a reputable establishment. You are exemplary. See you much more.“

“Restaurant is very clean friendly staff and great prices.“

“The chips, the cilantro sauce, the guac. Oh man, the guac. We love ordering for parties. Makes for an incredible meal, plenty of protein and so fun. All the salsas are great but the cilantro sauce is so unique and everyone loves it. Thank you for the beautiful catering offerings.“
