I ended up in the Blue Star diner because their taco entry into the Calgary Taco Fiesta contained the words "Pork belly". I was there just before the lunch hour rush and waited a couple of minutes to be seated.
I chose to sit at the bar and found the service to be personable, attentive and quick. In spite of this, the food took its sweet time showing up. While I waited, I got to admire the decor which was very modern and not at all what I expect from eateries with "diner" in their name
My tacos eventually showed up - pork belly marinated in Dr Pepper with jicama coleslaw and sauce. Taste? The bomb. Tacos are such a simple concept that it's easy to mess them up by getting too complicated. This taco kept things simple and showcased the very well-prepared pork belly.
I was pretty happy until the bill showed up. Then I downshifted to moderately happy. This is not a cheap diner by any stretch of imagination.
