This is a bar not a restaurant; the food is very good though. The selection of tequila is also good. The staff are outstanding, friendly and a pleasure to deal with. We intend to go back in the future.

This location is a lot better than the Kensington location as there is more seating area both inside and outside. Quality of the food is the same at both locations. Highly recommend the Tuesday taco specials.

We sat outside so it was a little noisy. The food was fantastic but it was a little slow. They were busy due to Taco Tuesday but still slower than we expected.

I had reserved a table for myself and a friend when I arrived I was offered a table directly at the front by the entrance I saw that there were reserve tables along the wall and asked if we could be moved to those and I was told that was not possible those tables could not be moved and then not 10 minutes later a couple arrives and ask for the same table I had asked for they were told it was reserved they pushed and the girl moved the reserved table and allowed them to sit where I was just told I could not sit. It really left a bitter taste in my mouth. The server who actually served us was nice. They were understaffed and it took a while to get what we ordered. I would hesitate to go back.

Great food and drinks as always. But the place definitely not busy enough for the poor service we had. They were understaffed but an agonizing three hours for four drinks, tacos and the bill.

Delicious margaritas and wings! Our server Katherine as amazing!!! Beautiful location - love the atmosphere!

The service was very good, Hannah took care of our every need. She was very pleasant, and made our dinner experience memorable.

The hostess was rude to my guest from England, asked for one of two empty tables on the patio and was told they were just given away. Spoke to the mgr and poof we got the table and great service by our server. Went back the same night on a date. Same hostess with another hostess. She told us we couldn’t be seated for 20 min. I said that was unacceptable since the place was only at 25-35% occupancy. Came back and seated us. Our waitress said she would be right back when we were seated. Came back a couple minutes later took our order. We had our margheritas and tacos in 15 min. You need better hostesses!!!

Great food, pretty loud on taco Tuesday - but to be expected!

Terrible service. Very slow and inattentive. Food was not to our expectations or the ratings we’d seen online. I wouldn’t be back. Lots of great Mexican in calgary.
