About The Moose and Poncho

The Moose and Poncho is a renowned restaurant located in Calgary, known for its exceptional tacos that rival those found in Southern California. The carnitas tacos are particularly delicious, with the tortillas being some of the best. The friendly staff, including the owner, provide detailed explanations of the taco options and offer a fair price considering the generous toppings and use of a second tortilla.

The menu features a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, such as the tasty cactus leaves and poblano peppers taco with fermented Serrano salsa. The restaurant's churros are a must-try, with their fresh, sweet, and cinnamony flavors. Tucked away in the First Street Market, The Moose and Poncho is a hidden gem worth seeking out.

The atmosphere is enhanced by a bar in the food hall, making it a great spot for those wanting cocktails. While the portions may be slightly more expensive, they are worth it, especially the highly recommended Birria tacos. Customers have praised the restaurant for its friendly staff, cozy and clean setting, and delicious food, including the birria tacos and tostadas.
