- SAShamulya AJun 10, 20265.0Kaylee is hands down the best server here! She hosted my birthday last year and has been our go-to server ever since. Every single visit with her is amazing. She is consistently attentive and welcoming. Thank you, Kaylee!
- JUJoy UJun 8, 20265.0I have been twice now and the food and service have both been fantastic!! Definitely will be back...
- SSSamuelJun 7, 20263.03.33 ⭐ Great service at this quaint taco resto on the 17th Ave. strip. Great selection of Tequila and cocktails. Me and the fellas shared a plate of taco chips and home made guacamole, and a Side of crinkle cut fries both great to start. I ordered the chicken taco on a flour tortilla which was perfect! Tender warm shell, seasoned to perfection and blended well w the vegetable toppings and salsa. Fish taco was even better. Solid crunch upon the first bite revealing the white tender fish. The shrinp tacos were mid and nearly similar to the fish in appearance but tasted bland. They have a couple choices for jalapeno based hot sauces were excellent. Service was top notch this evening and it was on the busier side. Always recommend hitting up places during their happy hour offerings so you can order several dishes to try. I recommend everyone to try our Blanco restaurant in YYC.
- ZMZaheen McKnightJun 5, 20265.0Had the best time with Hayley T. as our server! She had the best vibes and immaculate energy. The tacos were great as always. 10/10 worth a visit.
- JCJosh CundiffMay 26, 20265.0Popped in for tacos asked for head on my beer which some bars here wont do in Calgary, Hannah was happy to oblige and was courteous and freindly will be back for sure
