50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Calgary

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

“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!“

“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...“

“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!“

“Excellent service et nourriture delicieuse et authentique !“

“My first visit to Don Taco today. Had their Burrito and it was delicious! It’s large so you definitely need to have room for it. The staff member I ordered from was also very friendly and helpful. I ate in but there’s only enough seating for a few people as it’s pretty much just take out. Can’t wait to drop by again and try out the tacos!“

“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!“

“I’m from the States, and the one thing I crave most since moving to Canada is Mexican food. A good meal with salsa verde, rice and beans. This place has it! Yes, it’s a little pricey but it’s fresh, it’s the real deal, and you can eat in or take it to go! Lots of take away options to (their salsa verde is amazing).“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Taco Time is your typical fast food spot with a drive-thru, but this location stands out for being exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The dine-in area is surprisingly spacious with plenty of seating available, making it comfortable whether you're eating in or grabbing something quick.

I tried their tacos, and while the food is fairly average, it’s still decent for the price. You can’t really expect gourmet quality from a fast food place, but the tacos were satisfying enough and definitely won’t disappoint. They also have a wide variety of menu options to choose from.

One thing I appreciated was the open kitchen concept — you can actually see the staff preparing the food, and everything looked very organized and hygienic. Even during a busy drive-thru rush, the staff handled both the indoor customers and drive-thru orders efficiently while keeping the place clean.

The only downside was with my online order. I expected it to be ready for pickup when I arrived, but they only started preparing it after I got there, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, it’s a solid fast food option with clean facilities, good service, and decent food for the price.“

“Delicious pupusas and tostadas! Great value priced menu“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I came across this Mexican restaurant by chance while looking for a place to eat in Northeast Calgary, and I’m so glad I did. The moment you walk in, it has such a cozy, authentic vibe that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a little corner of Mexico.

I ordered the enchiladas, and they were excellent. The tortillas tasted fresh, the chicken was juicy, and the veggies were crisp and full of flavor. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and everything tasted homemade.

If you’re in the area and craving Mexican food, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try. It’s one of those hidden gems that you’re happy to stumble upon.“

“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!“

“Of all the Taco Times I have been to in this city, THIS is by far the best, especially the staff, they are courteous, friendly, helpful and above all pleasant, You will feel like a valued customer. The food is consistantly the high quality comfort food we are looking for, served with a smile in a clean environment. Dine in or take away.“

“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 :)“

“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? :)“

“The portion was really good with very good quality. It is hard to find place which provides good quality and quantity and this place is one of them. This place is far away from us but whenever we are in the area we always prefer to go here.“

“Right off the bat, everything was clean and great atmosphere. We ordered, albeit a bit late because they were short staffed and it was quite busy but Mack our server, and impromptu bartender (the designated bartender didn't show up) more than made up for it. Food was delicious, some of the best nachos I've ever had, and the some great chocolate cake for dessert. The best Mexican restaurant and one of the overall best restaurants I've been to.“

“I really enjoyed my meal here.
They seemed busy, so the service was a little slow. But it just meant we could chat more amongst ourselves.

The waitress was super kind.
The tacos were super good. I got chicken and beef.

They were giving out shots when Mexico scored during world cup haha! Not sure if that's a normal occurrence!“

“Worth helping“

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

“Our experience tonight was truly enjoyable. We went with our two children, and the decor is absolutely amazing; even after an hour, we were still discovering new details! The food was good, and the cocktail experience was really cool! The waitress was very attentive. A very nice concept!“

“I ate an early dinner today at Taco Time in Chinook Centre food court. I ordered the classic beef burrito and beef bowl; everything tasted great.
I also liked the staff, they were all pleasant and accomodating.
Taco Time will definitely be on my mind everytime I'm in the Chinook Centre food court.“

“We ordered catering from this wonderful Mexican restaurant, and everything was amazing! The food was fresh, flavourful, and had a delicious homemade taste. The owner and staff were incredibly pleasant, welcoming, and helpful. I had a few special requests to customize our order, and they were very accommodating and made sure everything met our needs. We were so happy with both the food and the service. Highly recommend!“

“This review is for Quesada, Vancouver, BC, Mount Pleasant. Our colleagues, friends and neighbours have eaten many Bad Ass Burritos since it opened a few years ago.

Sahil is so kind and friendly as he carefully and skillfully builds the burrito with good portions and the place is impeccably clean! You can tell he enjoys his job.

We will be in Calgary for 3 weeks in October and would like to bring friends and family to the closest location which is Crescent Heights.

As we read your inconsistent reviews we wonder if it would be worth it. Guess we will take a chance?“
