| - Well, I have to say that Salt & Pepper used to be one of my favorite spots in Calgary. However, of late there have been so many great taquerias popping up, and others that I have discovered, where now I'm not so sure about S&P.
For instance, today I wanted a light lunch/snack so I ordered their guacamole, with some salsa on the side. Chips, good (as always), salsa also good (nice fresh jalapeño in there). The guacamole today though - meh. Not what I remembered it to be. Also, what really turned me off was that there seemed to be a layer of shredded iceberg lettuce at the bottom of the guacamole. What!!??! Sorry, that's kind of a deal-breaker for me (particularly when they are charging nearly $8 for guac).
One thing that would renew my interest is if they made their tacos a little more à la carte, and ditched the cheese and sour cream. Most street tacos come with cilantro and a wedge of lime. Mainly though, I'd love to see lengua, al pastor and carne tacos. Barbacoa would also be delicious!
Please change your menu Salt & Pepper to reflect what most of your competition has done - making it easier to sample more of the menu.
On a happy note, their patio is lovely and still feels like a little getaway, despite being right on 9th Ave. They got an extra star just for that (and for my friendly server).
