| - Only being in Calgary for a few days, we let Yelp choose where we ate. We enjoyed the hipster/rustic atmosphere of this kind of small restaurant. The tables are packed in and at one point, the waiter's butt was hovering over the guacamole. But WOW, that guacamole sure was good!
We also had the carrots, the zanahorias which I saw a few people recommend and they did not disappoint. Very tasty, topped with cheese,cilantro and some other spices/additions. The carrots even though it seems strange to say were probably the best part of the meal.
We ordered 4 different tacos, including the beef tongue, chicken, chorizo and carnitas. The carnitas were both our favourite. Only I had the beef tongue and it was a bit strange but that was to be expected, I wanted something different. We both thought the chorizo was kind of gross and didn't really taste like normal chorizo, maybe it was heavily salted or there wasn't enough other toppings like adding pineapple could have been nice.
The chocolate flan was a big hit too, probably our second favourite part of the meal. The flan had a lot of crushed coconut, almonds and maybe coffee beans or cacao nibs, we're not sure. It was delicious though and highly recommended.
The service was very good as well. Overall, a nice find but I think it would be better after a couple of visits once you know what entrees to get and which ones to avoid. The pork belly pibil also looked great but we didn't ordered it. Maybe next time!
