So I really like Mexican, and I want to compile a list of all current Mexican places in Calgary.. Shit hole or not (and most if not all Calgary Mexican leans towards shit but that's besides the point!).
Please post name, location, and short description if you can. I'll start.
- Casa Latina - 17th Ave and 36th St. SE: fairly good, has some varied and authentic dishes. Don't go when it's busy. I think everything is PRE COOKED and just refried, so it all comes out really really dry and burnt. Making me think twice about going back.
- El Sombrero - 17th Ave SW: seems to be everyone's favorite.
- Salt & Pepper - Bowness Rd.: Ok stuff, has all you can eat night I think? Location on McLeod as well (by Memex).
- Boca Loca - Northmount & 14th St. NW: Mexican grocery store but serves lunch.
- Juan's Mexican Restaurant - Stephen Ave. SW: Never been but haven't heard good things.
- Julio's Barrio - 10th St. and Memorial Dr. NW: Can be barely called Mexican.
- Banff: Magpie and Stump. Refers to themselves as Texmex. Haven't tried yet, but on my to do list.
- Dead Man's Flats (about 10 minutes before Canmore on highway 1): Bandoleer's. I hear it's good. On my to do list.
Oh and I guess "Texmex" which would include Julio's, Chilis, and Santa Fe Grill (avoid McLeod location at all costs).
Anyone else know any?
