Sat on the patio to try the molcajete for 2. Service was friendly and they checked on us about 3X. We ordered drinks and they arrived quickly. Our bubbling lava stone was filled with onions, tomatoes, broth, peppers and meat which we stuffed into the hot corn tortillas. We had rice and refried beans that was very tasty. My gf commented that lights or a blow up palm tree or plants would make a difference in the ambiance as the patio is turf with 3 tables on a busy 4Ave at rush hour. Definitely not a knock on the restaurant as we plan to return and try more items!

The food was delicious. I’m picky when it comes to onions in my food and did request not to have it in my food if possible. The server said yes, but then my entree still came with a huge onion in it. The saving grace was that it could be picked out easily. The rest of the meals were made without onions. The dessert were delicious also.

Another fantastic meal with great personable service. Thanks for the laughs and plenty of “Mexican Water!” ~~~~~ What an incredible surprise! Do not miss visiting this authentic feeling Mexican restaurant. The restaurant was close to capacity the entire time we visited and the service was phenomenal. The servers were very friendly, informative, funny and attentive. The dish we had was incredible and the Mexican music, perfect. We will be back again to sample other items that we envied others for ordering.

The food was great! That's all I have to say, the tacos were delicious! They were so good, I had to go for a 2nd round. We were a group of 3, we got there right before the lunch rush. Our food got ready very quickly. The staff were friendly and helpful! I would 100% recommend this place and when I go back to Calgary, I'd definitely dine in here again!

I went here to give it a while while on a long bus layover. I got some mushroom street tacos that made me so glad I made this place my choice for lunch. Then I got the Mexican fries to go for a snack. I was full and couldnt stop eating them! Very pleasant service as well. Mucho gracias!!!

I have been going to Spicy Amigos since they opened on a regular basis. Food is always very good but things have changed. It used to be a bar type where you choose your toppings and now they dont do that. They up charge on drizzle toppings where it all used to be included. It looks like ownership might has changed. Prices have gone up substantially and less toppings. Still enjoy the food but go there less because of it.

Absolutely loved it and will be back! This is some of the best Mexican food in Calgary, by far. Amongst 4 of us we tried a variety of things: Empanadas (the texture on these was divine! Crispy on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside), Flautas (so good! Top 3 for sure. So much more flavorful than most flautas we ve had), Queso Fundido (simple yet delicious), and the street tacos which were made with the best corn tortillas I ve ever had. It sounds silly maybe but I was so impressed by how fresh they tasted. I ve been to too many Mexican restaurants serving stale tortillas. We tried a few different proteins on the tacos but my favorite by far was the Arrachera and the Chicarron. My dad also really liked the Lengua. We really wanted to try the churros and the flan but they were out of both. It was the only disappointment of the night but you can t fault them. It was so busy and they sold out. We ended up ordering Tres Leches to share. The portion was generous and even though that is not generally my favorite dessert I still enjoyed it. We will definitely be back to try more menu items, including the desserts.

I have been going to this place regularly, however there has been a change. The chef is the manager. He has absolutely no clue of how to retain customers that are regular, providing repeat business. They lost some really good employees.. Alberto..Now they are struggling with some poorly run servers, some out of school. I think the real owner needs to take a hard look at this place!

Very poor service today. Only 2 tables including my Own. Don t knowledge your presence. It Took forever to get a simply drink and have my order taken. No one came to my table to see how everything was. I could have used more salsa and water. Sitting now for about 10 minutes after finishing my meal and still no one has come to clear my table or ask if I d like anything else. There now 4 tables of people in the restaurant. When paying my bill I complemented them on how good their food was.

The food was simply amazing; each dish bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. Whether it was the nachos, the flavorful tacos, or the mouthwatering burrito, every bite was amazing. The service was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Spicy Amigos to anyone craving genuine Mexican cuisine. Its a gem that deserves all the praise!

Insanely good. Words cant even describe it. I am sitting here speechless after having ordered some Tostadas for take-out. If their take out is this good, I cant even imagine how good it is when dining in. The way they separate their take-out food so that it stays fresh and the tortillas dont get soggy shows the level of attention they pay to the little details. The taste is unbelievable. Native Tongues doesnt even come close to this level.

I had been hoping to try this place for two years we live 2.5 hours away and visit calgary a couple times a year over the years either the day we had free they are closed or it was covid. Finally I was able to come in. we tried the birria tacos the birria broth was not spicy at all which was so disappointing but ok in flavor the tacos themselves were tasty and our child had 3 beef tacos which he seemed to love only problem they charge you to change the toppings and not even from easy to hard from hard to easy he just wanted sour cream instead of pico and it was like 1.5-2$ something on top of original price for each taco...that was wild, cheese is also extra for these tacos which is fine.. keep in mind there is no kids menu if there was we were not offered one. Might come back try again someday.

Edit: Ive been back a couple times. What I witnessed last night was the most genuine thing, the young man server was helping an unhoused gentleman order takout with all the respect hed give anyone else and it made my heart full. It was so lovely to watch. The Molcajete was just as authentic as I had in rural Sinaloa, Mexico. You MUST try it! Original: I had the burrito and is was humongous but delicious. The margaritas were amazing. Service was good and it was jam packed in there. Will definitely be back.

Made a reservation. We were a party of 9 and expected it to be busy, being Cinco De Mayo. Reservation was for 7:15pm, arrived at 7:00pm. There was 3 of us, we were seated quickly, 3 more joined shortly afterwards. We sat at the table, watching the server tend to tables around us. The restaurant is small, they had 1 server on the patio that was holding his own and 1 server inside that was not. No waters, no drink order was taken, we waited....and we waited. The remaining 3 people of our party arrived at 7:40pm. No sign of the server at our table, still no waters, no drink order was taken. A member of our party got up and asked if we could get some service. Finally, we got our drink order taken. Still no waters. 6 margaritas, 2 beers, and 8 shots of tequila. The shots of tequila came out first, the margaritas came 3 at a time, the waters, and then the beer. We realized how slow the service was going to be so we asked to place another drink order. The server told us not at that time, that he had to go and take other orders from other tables. We waited....and we waited, and we waited. Another member or our party got up and asked if we could place our food order. He was told that we were not the only table in the restaurant. OBVIOUSLY and we werent trying to be, we were just trying to place our order. They sent a different employee to our table to take our food order, she even took our second drink order. She apologized, didnt throw attitude, or make excuses for poor service. We placed our food order. Our second drink order trickled out. At 8:45pm our food hit the table. The food wasnt worth the wait. The Al Pastor was dry, flavorless, and served with canned pineapple. The Tinga (spicy chicken) was flavorless, mushy, slop. A member of our group had steak tacos, and said they were good. Another member had the beef tongue, said it was alright. There is definitely way better spots in the city. As for the service, I can honestly say Ive never experienced such horrible service.

The location of the restaurant is favolable, it is in the downtown. The decoration and music was fine. In the restaurant they sell typical Mexican products. The service was poor, it was late and the waitress didnt know about the menu. She didnt know what to recommend. The food was not fresh, I think it had been on the production line a long time and she did not taste good. We ordered some beef tacos that didnt really have much flavor, the onion was wilted and the cilantro looked soggy. I didnt order dessert. I asked for the michelada beer and they served me normal, I dont know if the waitress didnt understand. I didnt like it.

Sir, I just went to this place today where it seemed like an excellent place to consume Mexican food, but when I went today and with friends, what am I recommending, there were 6 people and when paying the total consumption, the place charges you 18% for service, yes or yes For consumption of one person in the place, per table of 6, apart from that, tell me, a taco is eaten with onion and cilantro, which surprised me by charging you for the onion and cilantro separately at an extra 6 dollars for adding onion and cilantro, the truth is. I felt ROBBED, the truth was very bad, but hey, this is just my opinion. Be careful before you sit down to eat, better ask

After experiencing tacos in California, my expectations might have been too high. When I saw 4.5 rating i thought i wouldnt fail. I was wrong unfortunately. I got steak tacos meal, street tacos carnitas and chicken. The steak was like rubber, after eating my jaw kinda hurt lol and it didnt have much seasoning or salt- not much of flavor. Carnitas was better but nothing special and it was too watery (I almost choked because of the meat juice). The chicken was interesting as it has chicken tika/tanduri-like taste and texture. The guacamole was not bad though.

Astoundingly bad food. I mean we walked out it was so so so bad. I would rather be tied to a rock and have my heart daily ripped out by an eagle, only to regrow, then suffer the torment again, eternally. This place is a crime against life. Nothing authentic. Cold beans in a tin with melted death would be better. Staff seemed angry that we wanted to pay and leave. Seriously bad. 10 minutes later... My stomach hurts, I feel ill... I can imagine a thousand awful things preferable to this place. The ratings... Are they bots? Its wild that people enjoy this. I ate very little before giving up, but the food is swelling in my gut as if some monstrous torturer from Hades is enacting pure revenge for all slights. Avoid!! Dear god avoid! Stay miles away.

I found this restaurant online and it had 4.5 stars. I was excited to try food here. Ordered guacamole and chips however it was not worth the price. It looked overprice for what we got. Later ordered burrito and enchiladas. Burrito was tasteless and enchiladas was really bad. Rice with enchiladas was not even made properly. Beans looked old and tasted weird. Overall service was good however restaurant is not worth visiting. If someone has tasted real Mexican food they will be disappointed in this one. Don t know what people got in this restaurant that they gave 5 stars. DISAPPOINTED

Nice little Mexican restaurant. We had amigo bowl and chicken tostada. Initially the rice in amigo bowl was a little too dry but once it soaked up all the other ingredients in the bowl, it got better. Chicken tostada was good. Will definitely try one more time.

One of my favorite places in the city! Tasty, tasty food (the sopes are SO GOOD!) and pretty reasonably priced. Fantastic service. Lots of options and very accommodating to different dietary restrictions. Love the atmosphere and the huge selection of imported retail sauces/drinks. Highly recommend!

Nasty kitchen with rude staff. Went there on a weekday lunch and I waited 15min for them to open the place at 12:00PM to be first in line (they usually have long line up at lunch and service is a bit slow). The teenage kid working there that day decided to give training to the new staff while preparing my food. Zero hospitality given for taking my time during a work day to make me stand there and watch them train the new staff. They couldn t do that before the opening I guess. The guy made my burrito, but it broke in half while he was warping it. He told the staff in training this is what happens if you are not careful with the portions and liquids. Of course the guy didn t give me that burrito even then I was totally fine with it. He took it in the back and after 10 minutes came back with the same burrito wrapped in a new tortilla wrap. No apology or damn given for making me wait there for 20min to get my lunch and of course they charge you beforehand. I was a bit hesitant to eat the food, since I had no idea what went on in the back, but decided to eat it anyway. Bad decision as I had to leave the office and sit on a toilet for the rest of that day. Lastly, I feel their prices continues to go higher and the quality and portions lower. I know about the inflation, but you are almost paying more than every other Mexican place in Calgary (comparing with Native Tongues, Blanco, etc) and the place doesn t even look as nice of other places. I would say avoid this place and save yourself the hassle and getting your day ruined by them.

The molcajete was amazing!!! So full of flavour and absolutely loaded up with meat. Loved the charred onion for the extra oomph. Id definitely come back just for this. The double size (more tortillas) would feed 2-3 people comfortably. The place felt very authentic (disclaimer: Im not Mexican) and homey. The seating area is kind of cosy; there are quite a few tables but theyre all quite close together. Even tho it was pretty full when I was there, it wasnt hard to hold a conversation within the table.

First time here today and we got here right when they opened at 12pm. It quickly lined up and was quite busy after we finished ordering and sat down to wait for food. I had the birra tacos which came with 4 tortillas filled with shredded beef and cheese and grilled. It comes with salsa and birra broth which i was told by my friends to dip it in. I enjoyed it and also bought some valentina hot sauce which is my fav.

The burrito was soggy, the spice level was disappointing, and the portions were skimpy. We spent more time paying for our meal than actually eating it. Additionally, the kids meal we ordered was supposed to include juice, but instead, my child received Nestea, which contains 8mg of caffeine!?

I went in on October 27th 2023 at approximately 8:15, the times displayed that the restaurant would be opened until 9, so I drove for 20 mins to get some food. Upon arrival, we noticed a table of people eating but the waitress told us that they closed and couldn t serve us. I told her that the time displayed was nine and she said yeah sorry but we are going to close now because it is slow. I know the place has good food which is why I drove 20 minutes to eat there, but it was really disheartening to be told that they were going to close because it was slow so they couldn t serve us.

The restaurant itself looked really nice! However I am writing this on behalf of a pick up order that sadly missed a few items. The food was very good! High quality tasting. We ordered the take out taco kits which everyone enjoyed. However, living 35 minutes from downtown - it was disappointing to have not received both the crema and cheese that the website specified would be included in the kit. I would order here again but next time will look inside the bag before leaving. A possible 5 stars had their been the cheese and crema. :)

This place used to be good. Now they charge extra for Jalapeños and shrimp. $8 extra for the shrimp. Their packaging is cheap and flimsy and they dont tape the burrito wrapping shut. Was crossing the street and the paper bag ripped, dropping the burrito out. No problem as long as the wrapping stayed on, but it fully unwrapped rolling my burrito out. A few guys from work stopped going here, and I was giving it another shot almost every day this week. Yesterday, the pork belly was sooo salty, I couldnt finish the burrito. This was my last try and I didnt even get to eat the burrito. Im done. Back to Mucho Burrito. Theyre consistent and dont charge extra for every single thing.

Charge extra for basic ingredients in the burrito including jalapeños, cilantro, etc. They dont drain the meat enough, half the time the burrito is soaked. It soaks through their bags, which rip. They are always out of guacamole, which costs $2 extra. Burrito with guac is over $19.
