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!

Omg this place was incredible. I had a birria taco and a cochinita pibil taco and they were out of this world amazing! The restaurant is in the First Street Market (food hall). If I am in the area again I will 100% be back to this little gem!

Tasty but the tacos are too small for the price value. It’s also not 2 tacos, you get 2 tortillas under the taco mixture.

Over priced for what you get and now I hear they don’t like paying their employees. Ya, we won’t be back.

I went because Guy Fieri featured it. Did not disappoint. The girl helping my friend and myself was great. Explained everything. The food was absolutely fabulous. If I ever get back to Calgary, I’d definitely go back.

Went to the 1st Street Market location. AMAZING FOOD. The birria taco was everything I thought it was going to be and more. Unbelievable. Super friendly people too and provided info on what ingredients to expect when served.

Tacos are not bad but the taste is not even similar to real tacos. Chicharrón doesn't taste like chicharrón at all. Tacos are just okay. By the way, I'm Mexican.

The moose and poncho has expensive tacos (three for $22 including tax) but they make up with it by giving you large portions and stuffing the tacos full of meat. The tortillas are nice and soft. I had 3 types of tacos, the carnitas, guajolote tinga, and and the conchita pibil. Overall the three were okay, I wish they had a bit more spice and flavour. If you’re looking for easy fast service tacos, I’d recommend it.
