“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!“

“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 have been a loyal customer of Bar Burrito since the day they opened, and I can confidently say that they have never disappointed me. Every visit has been a delightful experience, thanks to their consistently great food and outstanding customer service.

The food is always fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. Whether I’m ordering my usual or trying something new, the quality is impeccable. The portion sizes are generous, and the ingredients taste incredibly fresh. You can truly taste the effort that goes into every burrito, bowl, or taco.

What sets Bar Burrito apart even more is their excellent customer service. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and go out of their way to make you feel valued. On the rare occasion there’s been a mix-up with my order, they were quick to rectify it, making sure I left satisfied. It’s this level of care and professionalism that keeps me coming back.

I highly recommend Bar Burrito to anyone looking for delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. They’ve earned my trust over the years, and I’ll continue to support them for many more!“

“Nestled in the most Eastern reaches of the west end down town core, I stumbled upon not only a gem of a place open tell 3 am but an exquisite human being name emy! She was an absolute delight, and even though I came through the door at 2:51 a.m., she never blinked an eye towards my service. Thank you for bringing back late night compassionate and optimistic service it's been well missed. The food was amazing, like fresh made and not end of the evening throw out waste you get from othe establishments. I ordered chips and freshly made in-house gauc the soup and a burrito all were perfect and the price was very decent for the portion size... I, for one, will deffs be back!!!“

“This is a great authentic mexican place! I love the Tortas (mexican sandwiches) I felt like in Mexico! The desserts are awesome, I tried the 3 leches cake. I'll come back for more and I fully recomend them!“

“Delicious pupusas and tostadas! Great value priced menu“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place rocks. They are so friendly, fast, well priced, and the food is delicious. I'm so glad I found a place so close to my office that I can pick up a hot meal from whenever I need one. I just call to place my order over the phone and it often will be ready for pickup in as early as 5 minutes. I always get the beef brisket tacos because they're my favourite and I'm a creature of habit. :)

Parking: There aren't a huge amount of spots but I've always been able to park right out front whenever I've gone.“

“Good flavour!! Real Mexican food“

“Great food and staff were very friendly. The bathrooms and seating area was spotless.

The fried chicken tacos look like they don't have much meat with 1 piece per Taco but if you break them up, it's actually a lot for the Taco size.“

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

“really good food & big portions“

“I can say that Garry is First Indian i have seen who knows how to treat costumers well and respect all. Cj, he I m not sure about the name is also doing great. I bought a chicken burrito and he customize it and make it way better. Keep it up.“

“The food was amazing and fresh“

“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.“

“One of the best tacos in town!

I used to be a big fan of their old location, since they moved to this location, I think it became rather a ok taco shop…but, today’s visit reminded me of how good their taco tastes like. Stuffing to tortilla ratio is insane, it is savory and simply delicious. You get to choose which salsa to put on your taco, I love their pineapple salsa, if is spicy and fruity. Honestly, $7 taco is expensive, but I am sure you won’t be disappointed!“

“I had a great lunch with my friends .food was very delicious . The Ambience was great. When I will come back to Calgary i will definitely visit mucho burrito�“

“Love barburrito I’ve been coming here with my fiancée a lot recently and it’s one of our favourites! Good options and an easily accessible and straightforward allergen menu. Workers at both the crowfoot location and the university district are always nice in my experience, would recommend!!“

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

“The Mucho Burrito at 130 ave in Calgary is excellent. Fresh food, properly prepared by well trained people. I’ve been to a mucho north of the down town, across the bow river,the worker had a bad attitude ,I won’t return there.“

“Great service and fun atmosphere“

“We came to try the Taco Tuesday menu, my favourite one was quesabirria and cactus, the staff is so friendly and also the rum horchata was so really good! Of course I’m gonna come back!!

Vegetarian options: Cactus taco and mushroom taco.“

“I like hot dishes, but everywhere I go their “hot” is really bland. Here I tried the northern reaper hot sauce in combination with their signature hot, it was just the right amount of heat! The burrito was so yummy! I recommend to all amateurs of spicy food.

Also this location’s bank machine doesn’t prompt you to give any tips, that’s why I come here over other places.

Vegetarian options: Falafel

Parking: Lots of parking all around“

“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!“

“Look, I'm a sucker for Taco Time. It's no one's favourite Mexican place, but whenever the craving strikes, I go here and I get fast service, tasty tacos, and I always satiate my craving for Mexi-fries and hot sauce. Unlike many fast food places, Taco Time never forgets any items in my takeout bag. Can't beat the cheap Taco Tuesday deals, either.

It is what it is and yeah, I like it, okay?“

“This location, including its bathroom, was spotless when I attended on Aug 3, 2024. The service was great! This is definitely the Taco Time I will go to next time I want the type of food they offer.

Vegetarian options: There are 2 vegetarian burritos available.

Dietary restrictions: They are very cognizant of the need to prevent accidental contamination of vegetarian food.“

“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? :)“

“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.“

“Our server was really nice! He was super organized, went out of his way to clear the table when needed, moved things around to make more space and was attentive to our needs. He also was organized for bills which was super nice at the end of the evening. HOWEVER, I hated the table we were given, the area and the table itself was unenjoyable. The music was so loud I could barely hear someone talking that was sitting 2 seats away from me. The temperature in the restaurant was SO hot for the type of weather so it did feel uncomfortable at times. I would say that the ambience was a 2/5 for me. The appys and drinks however, never disappoint!! I LOVE their margaritas, guac and fundito. Unfortunately their tacos are DRY. The pulled beef was super dry specifically last night & Idk what it is but I'm always disappointed with every taco. If you don't put a lot of sauce on them then they are hard to eat. Anyways, I'll keep coming back for the margs and appys but I was really disappointed with certain aspects as well.“

“We had chicken quesadilla and the brisket tacos and it was so delicious. The pitcher of strawberry Margarita was also well received. For dessert we had the chocolate cake and although a merichino cherry doesn't count as seasonal fruit I still give this place five stars for the value for the tasty food and the nice ambiance with live music.“

“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.“

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

“Service was extremely friendly and efficient and food was exactly as I ordered, even though it was Black Friday and the mall was super busy and hectic. Please congratulate the team! Genuinely, the service at Tacotime stood out for how great they were handling such a busy day.“

“We got 6 tacos, chips and guac. Best tasting chips. Each component was done so nicely I loved the texture of the tortilla and each filling was amazing. Nothing was super dry or too oily. The spices were delicious and I loved the meat options. The staff were very friendly and didn't mind taking their time explaining each menu item. I'm so glad I tried this place it makes me look forward to weekends at the market :)“

“Very friendly and helpful staff. We tried bean bowl and it was delicious the only negative thing was the size of the bowl it’s too small compare to before.

“The food is good; download the app for more deals. Additionally, the Google show operating hours don’t match the real time; it closes at 9 PM. Kindly take note of the operating hours

Vegetarian options: There’s couple of vegan options but not allium free“

“We love Chilitos on 17th so we were thrilled when we found the Taberna at our local farmers market. The dine in food is fabulous, but one of the best things about the Taberna location is the take home kits and ready meals to create your favourites at home!“
