Mestizo Taqueria in Kensington completely lived up to the hype. Every single taco we tried was packed with flavor and tasted incredibly fresh. The meats were juicy and well seasoned, the salsas had the perfect balance of heat and brightness, and the toppings brought everything together really well. Portion sizes were generous too, which made the whole experience feel like great value. The plate came out looking amazing and somehow tasted even better than it looked. I didn’t end up getting a drink this time, but the drinks I saw going to other tables looked fun and really well made. Overall this place was a solid 10/10 for me. I’ll definitely be back soon and bringing some friends next time so they can try it too.

Calgary’s market is flooded with Mexican food options boasting authentic tastes and flavours—and thankfully, Mestizo Taqueria doesn’t fall short. I went all out to make sure I sampled as much as possible. Here’s the lineup: • Cheesy Birria • Cheesy Al Pastor • Sirloin • Mayan Pork • Beef Tongue • Slow Braised Pork • Orange-Marinated Pork • Pork Sausage Each taco came paired with one of three perfectly matched salsas—flavourful, balanced, and never overpowering. They elevated every bite. Raw onions are usually my Achilles heel, but whatever prep or variety they use here totally works. I was able to enjoy every taco from start to finish without a second thought. I wish I could pick just one taco to hype up, but honestly? I can’t. Every single one stood out in its own way and deserves to be tried at least once. Shout-out to Uber for trekking my order from NW Calgary all the way to the deep SE. My taste buds appreciate you! Bottom line: check this place out and decide for yourself. I’m definitely glad I did.

First time with my girlfriend here and we tried lunch for two. It was really great! Only thing we weren’t happy was the special drink of the day (it was Saturday), which was hot chocolate. I am a hot chocolate person. Their drink was too sweet and less chocolate in it.
