Its a taco restaurant but taco sauces have extra charges? Since when did a taco sauce have up charge?? Also only 1 SMALL sliced of lime per 3 Tacos 🤦‍♂️ And the food was bland. Staff were great tho.

I got nachos. I added chicken. The toppings were fresh (crisp jalapeño peppers), and there were no lonely chips missing toppings. When the server told me how big the plate was, I figured it wouldn't be enough, but the plate was piled high, and I was full before the halfway mark. I got a premium margarita with anejo tequila, so I paid the premium ($16). It was worth it. I would have had more, but the location near Costco parking is limited, so I couldn't leave the car. As for the atmosphere, maybe they have more decor coming. The pictures are too high and sparse, maybe so they don't get dirty. The TV was playing a streaming service, but no one attended to it, so it powered off. The chairs are a choice between plastic table height or backless metal bar stools. Not designed to relax. I'll definitely go again, but I liked the old location better.

The food is alright. Servers were friendly but did forget a few things while serving us. I will miss the patio at old location.

We were pretty disappointed. Menu is just black print on a paper, reused many times (it even had wrinkles from getting wet and dry from previous clients- I don’t even want to imagine what liquid did it touch). Service was just fine, no extra effort, barely taking dishes from our table, getting order wrong; bathroom without paper; food itself was just ok. Presentation was nice though. Nothing special to justify the drive all the way to the north of St. Albert.

5 stars all around. Service was friendly and quick, the food was amazing, and definitely a great experience eating here. I had the chorizo tacos and ear of corn, it was the some of best food I’ve had in awhile. I’ll be back for sure!

Credos Tacos & Tequila. If you love tacos, this place is for you. Lots to choose from. The Gringo tacos are my favorite along with a lime slushy margarita! New location is right across from Costco. I highly recommend this place.

The Carnitas tacos here are bomb. Meat was moist tender. Toppings went well with the pork. Chorizo sausage taco was decent. Sausage was on the drier side. They were in the process of moving, so didn't have some tacos/ingredients. The nachos came out promptly, however the tacos took a while to come out. I'd probably give this place another try after they move to their new location.

I wanted to review this place for both other clients, and separately for the owners. For anyone considering going Id say Go! Good food and youll enjoy your meal. We were there on a Tuesday, which has a meal for two option. For $55 you got a nice size serving of chips with two salsa options and guac. It was a pile of chips. Next you each got two tacos each and a choice of beans and rice, or salad and corn. Lastly you got a bowl of ice cream to share. It was all tasty and we enjoyed ourselves. But my feedback to the owners is a bit different. First, do something about the noise level. You were trying to play some music but it was impossible to hear over the nose from the diners. Surely something at the ceiling level could really help. Next buy some pictures and cover all those ridiculous half filled electrical outlets that are 7 feet high. I dont know what the idea was here but they arent doing anything for your vibe. Tacos... You let people have a choice of tacos but why does it have to be two of the same? Ut two each but you each get two the same. No ability to try two different ones. It seemed unnecessarily restrictive and not really very customer focused. And sharing. We had a meal to be shared. Ice cream - one bowl with two spoons was fine. So why hand out one piece of corn? Cut it in two! We enjoyed our dinner, but some tweaks could still make it a better experience.

We came here and were excited for tacos cause I heard good things. I was disappointed with the tacos, they were very plain and basic, I got the shrimp tacos, and I wouldnt be surprised if they were boiled, They had zero flavor. their margaritas were good though. What kind of taco place doesnt have hot sauce? Their most spicy salsa was not even spicy. How can you not have spicy salsa? The server was indeed lovely though.

An easy 5 stars. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. Pricing is quite fair. The seating arrangements are a little on the cheap side but that s the only negative about this place.

August 23, 2024

Terrible. We came in with our young daughter who won t eat anything on their menu so we brought some fries from another place so she could eat while we had tacos. They threw a big fuss about bringing in outside food and a manager had to come out and give us a lecture and a nice dose of attitude. What a complete joke of a restaurant whose stupid policies and lack of service make it a terrible choice for anyone. Shame on you.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! As a foodie who travels all over Canada and USA and foreign land like Mexico Id have to say this place is not Mexican. The owners and or staff need to close the doors and take a trip to go eat Mexican Food they dont even have Carna Asada which is one of the most Common dishes in Mexican Restaurants. I had the shrimp Taco plain no flavor and absolutely over priced and she had the corn and again no flavor no spice. I wouldnt recommend anyone going there. OVER PRICED AND UNDER FLAVOR like no tomorrow the staff so so young and more into talking with other staff than anything else really. My suggestion to the owner is reach out to me and Ill recommend places to visit in USA and some parts of Canada so you can go see what real Mexican Restaurants make. Unbelievable. Owner Look up Teds Mexican OKC thats what a small chain family owned Mexican Restaurant should be home made and full of flavor and meals worth the Price

June 23, 2024

If I could give this a zero I would. We received no service and there was 4 waiters standing around having small talk at the bar doing nothing, we waited quite a bit for no service and ended up leaving, the moment we left our table was cleared immediately( we received water and menues) Food

Amazing tacos!! I dream about their bulldogs! The owners are also some of the nicest people on the planet

Bean tacos appear to have consisted of black beans poured out of a can. Generous serving of room temperature unadorned black beans on a tortilla that did not appear to have been sauteed with spices. Also non-descript cabbage and jalapeno. Chorizo taco consisted of sliced sausages again with old cabbage and jalapeno. Very disappointing and not flavourful.

Visited for the first time. As a Mexican national, I truly recommend the Carnitas Tacos. The meat tastes exactly like in my hometown. A suggestion: Adding a slice of avocado would make it even more perfect. Best Mexican food in St. Albert. I will definitely go back and try Chorizo.

2024 update: my rating still stands but not due to the wait. We were tempted to leave after seeing how dirty it was in there. There was black mold or something under the cap and in the threads of the re-usable water bottle they gave us, the glasses were dirty, and the movie poster/wall next to us was splattered with old food (hopefully that and not boogers). It was $85 for a dinner plate of mediocre nachos, 4 tacos, and two margaritas.This was the last time we ll be there unfortunately. Was there tonight with my family. It was quite busy and we waited about an hour for our food from the time we ordered. I started to doubt if we had actually ordered as I saw other (smaller) tables being turned over multiple times while we waited. Would ve probably gave 3-4 stars if the wait wasn t so long. The food was decent, but at the end of the day they were just tacos. They weren t overly flavourful and were fairly basic. Mine was basically chicken, coleslaw, mayo type sauce and pineapple. After the hour wait I had hoped for something more..

The tres dip is okay. I was hoping for in house made tortillas and was a bit disappointed that they were just regular tortilla chips, seemingly out of a bag. The salsas and guacamole were good. I prefer a chunkier salsa, theirs are more blended. Flavor was nice. The bathroom was dirty. The toilet needed to be scrubbed, the door needed to be cleaned. The atmosphere is okay, the main restaurant area seemed clean enough. Service was good. The waitress was friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

First off, you have one server during the busy supper rush, who I will add, was very rude. There were several mistakes on our order which werent rectified. I m unsure why my order came first, and my husband never received his meal. He sat patiently for 10 mins waiting for his food, which never came! You only have a few things on your menu and you can t get it, right? My margarita was watered down. I could go on, but I won t, Thank- you for ruining our meal. We will NOT be back to your restaurant and I hope people take the time to read this review. Last time I checked when you go to a restaurant you re greeted, and when you order a meal for two people most times the meals come together. One server cannot manage 10 tables, including the table outside, and walk-in orders. This is my second time here, and there has ONLY EVER been one Male server. I suggest if you want to continue in the restaurant business, you work on your management skills on the front and back end.

We love Mexican food and try it wherever we find some. This place has decent food and Service but Exhorbinate Prices. 3 tacos each, corn chips with dip to start, one beer, and one drink, $110 bucks all in. Food was pretty good, the shrimp tacos were much better than the beef ones. Also, the tacos and corn chips all come out of a bag. Not home made. Very pleasant servers, but the decor is really basic, chairs are not that comfortable and value for price is way short. The other local Mexican places are literally half the price and the food is just as good. I can get a steak dinner for 2 in St Albert for the same money. I would not go back at these prices.

Sorry but Only thing good is the nice server. Shrimp tacos were straight out of a package (like the shrimp ring ones), no seasonings quite disappointing to pay $16 for 2.

Heard lots of good things about this place, finally went to eat there and was not disappointed. We happened to arrive during happy hour, so even though Im not much of a fan of them, I had a margarita. First one in my life I actually enjoyed, better than a 4 star mexican resort. We had chips and dip (guacamole and salsa) for the the table, and I had the pork carnitas. Not that is difficult to put together chips and dip, but it was really nice, good presentation and the dips were tasty, ant there was enough for 4 people. The carnitas sere superb, I got three but two would have been plenty, surprising filling. The service was efficient and friendly, and I feel the prices were fair. I would definitely recommend. I cant wait for patio weather to check out their rooftop patio.

We eat here once every few months and super enjoy the tacos every time. I honestly don t normally leave reviews but they were SO incredible this time that I had to. Whichever chef was making tacos tonight on Canada day made the best tacos we have ever had from anywhere, ever.

Had the chorizo taco and carnita taco. The food was perfectly cooked, big portions (2 was enough) and the flavors were delicious. We also had the chips with salsa as a side and it was a very big portion that ot could be shared between two. There were multiple salsa choices that were really good too. Overall, very satisifed with our dinner here. Came on Friday at 530 and got quite busy right after we got there. The server checked in on us often and was very cheerful. Will definitely be coming back! Vegetarian options available as well with a large selection for drinks.

Update: this place is still fantastic! Enjoyed a few margaritas, beers, shrimp tacos and a chicken tinga salad on the roof top patio today. Our server, Renee was excellent. I love the tacos and margaritas here! Staff is great and the roof top patio is an added bonus (inside is very nice too). Located in the heart of downtown St Albert, I love having lunch here on Saturdays during our summer farmers market. Also great for my Taco Tuesday cravings.

Exceptional food and great flavours. Popular place and usually busy. Id give them 5 stars if they could provide faster service as I usually have to wait a fair while (its worth the wait mind you... But still inconvenient, especially when youve ordered ahead wanting to be in and out, and still end up just standing at the till waiting for food... then it comes and youre waiting to pay).

Super underwhelming, I wish I had never gone. I waited for about a month to go, 2 of us went and got the taco Tuesday meal. Authenticity is subjective, go anywhere in Mexico and food is different. They are way too expensive but the prices are there for everyone to see before they go though. Tacos were meh, nachos were meh but the most embarrassing thing for them is the rice and beans. There are literally no silantro or onions or any spice whatsoever. I bet you $20 that the rice is just boiled rice and the beans are dumped out of a can. We added packs of salt to try for some taste but it was awful, so we literally took it home to add spices from tienda Latino to make it taste good. We left before eating the the ice cream. The only good thing was the staff. I will never go back or recommend it to anyone. How embarrassing. Id rather spend $50 at Taco Bell

Excellent tacos and tasty drinks, unfortunately only open for lunch one weekday per week, but worth planning your lunch trips around that. The carnitas (pork) tacos had great flavour and texture, and the fixings complement the taste perfectly. Shared the tortilla chips with 3 dips as an appetizer and this would be a great item with drinks mid-day as well. Hope they keep the lunches going as its a great spot during the work week!

I LOVE Cerdo! Super good food with a great menu! They are really good for gluten free and allergies! I love getting the cheese quesadilla with beef! They also support other local businesses in St. Albert which is cool too!

I heard of this place some time ago & finally decided to give it a try since I was in the mood for Mexican food. I made my way to St. Albert & called to order as I was on my way there. I called about 3 or 4 times & was hung up on each time, this was 40 minutes before they were supposed to close. I showed up at the restaurant just a few minutes later, ( 35 minutes before close ) & was asked if I was picking up food for Cory & I said well actually I tried to phone & place an order but couldnt reach you guys. He said sorry were closed. Im glad I wasted a good 45 minutes driving from Edmonton going to get food from this place instead of going to one of the few good Mexican restaurants in Edmonton. I noticed a similar review on here as well so it seems to me this is a pretty common occurrence at this place. I cant speak on the food itself but the customer service is terrible so I definitely wont be coming back here.

A friend of mine had recommended this place a while back, finally managed to be in the area and they were open so decided to stop by, I was surprised to see on Google they had dine-in but when I showed up its only take-out only and you can only call your order in so did that and I guess Ill have to wait for a dining in experience to give it a fair review next time as this time wasnt expected, lets just say that.

Cerdo is a St. Albert gem. The food is always excellent, special mention to the Queso Fundido. All of the tacos are delicious. All of them. Dont choose, just keep going back until youve eaten the entire menu. The interior of the restaurant is clean and a tad small but well air conditioned and the staff is always friendly and attentive. They have a great outdoor patio area that Id call 10/10 on a hot day, the kind of hot day that warrants a margarita.

We went to Cerdo today (Saturday) for lunch and although the food was delicious, we were very disappointed with the service we received, especially from the manager. Our server really wanted to help, but his manager definitely had no intention of helping! There were 7 of us, 3 of which were kids, and we asked if we could add an extra table to accommodate us and-or move the tables to the shade and and it was a big no-no! The manager told me there were a tequila restaurant and he had no intention of helping our family eat at his restaurant. Looking around, more than half the tables had at least one kid with them... But hey, he told us that the tables were the way they were and he could had a chair and we could all sqeeze, in the sun, on those 2 small tables. If you do not want to serve family, fine, but just say it, make an age restriction or something. Anyhow, we will not be going back, and will be going to another restaurant where they value their customer, and not just their pockets! If you have kids with you, DO NOT GO THERE, as you will not be valued customers... sad!

So many reviews for this place that were very good, I really expected a lot more. We went on a night where it was empty. A few friends told us about how good the tacos were here and we were really excited for it. My husband liked the food but I thought it was in edible (for reference my husband could eat a big Mac every day for the rest of his life if I let him.) The meat in the tacos was so over cooked and oily, you could tell that it was old. The food in general was just low quality and overpriced. The waitress was not very professional either. Not a good experience in general

Where do I start... flavour highway! This place is a cute little spot tucked away in downtown St.Albert. The interior is fun and modern, clean and inviting. The staff are full of smiles and eager to provide awesome service. Let s get down to business though... what s most important is the food!! The tacos are fresh, the flavours take you to the moon, and if you close your eyes you feel you re back in Mexico enjoying them in the hot sun. If you love tacos you ve tried a few in your day, and I m all for it. If you haven t tried Cerdos to add to that flavour hit list, you re in for a treat. And if you re feeling like you wanna gamble and really take in the experience... do your self a favour, start with those deadly nachos, pick any taco on the menu they re all good but try at least two juuuuust to make sure you haven t missed out on all those options, and wash it all down with an incredible and timeless bulldog. Like I said close your eyes, and sit back relax to enjoy flavour highway! It won t disappoint!! Thank me later, enjoy!!

Really love this little place, missing their fun vibe and delicious food. Pre-2020 my husband and I loved to introduce family and friends to Cerdo. Multiple great doubles dates have been had here! The food is super, the staff is always friendly and we always have an enjoyable time. During 2020 we have ordered for pick up a few times and the food has been really good, they are keeping up with the quality and portions and wonderful flavors. Can t wait to get back to that rooftop in the sunshine and have a few bulldogs!
