| - Overview: really tasty, surprisingly reasonably priced tacos and other mexi-cuisine in a tasteful beltline dining room. The service was also really friendly, knowledgable and attentive.
For starters don't pass on the guacamole - probably the best I've had in town, topped with ample cilantro and fresh Serrano chiles.
For tacos I tried the chorizo, lengua, and carnitas. They all came simply prepared, topped with cilantro and onion - with a side of red and green salsas. My favorite was the carnitas, followed by the lengua (I'm a sucker for cow tongue, the concentrated beef flavor just can't be beat), last place went to the chorizo which had a slightly different taste than the chorizos you're used to, somewhat salty and not very spicy.
Note that the tacos are small - street style tacos, so order accordingly, but you can always order more as needed.
For six tacos, chips and guacamole, and pickled veg (no drinks) our tab only came to $40, which for the quality of the meal, full bellies and satisfied smiles we left with, was very good value. I'll definitely be back, it's great to have a modern taqueria like this in yyc!
