| - These are not your boxed, Old El Paso tacos!
Native Tongues offers authentic tacos just outside Calgary's downtown core. With prices on a per-taco basis and small portion sizes, the menu is perfect for trying all the flavours available. On my first visit, the a la carte taco flavours included pork, chicken, chorizo, beef tongue, mushrooms, and refried beans.
For me, the highlights included the soft taco shells, tender beef tongue and light yet flavourful tomatillo salsa.
In addition to tacos for a main, I was very excited to see nopales on the appetizer list, being a cactus paddle with salsa and queso fresco. This was my first time having an opportunity to try cactus leaf and I was pleasantly surprised by the mild flavour enhanced by a char grilling.
At $3.95 per taco, I did find the prices a little high. I understand the restaurant participates in taco Tuesday, though, so when I go back I'll make a point to try to get in on this day.
