A Daily Hive roundup names 11 Calgary restaurants as the city's go-to taco spots. The list ranges from Native Tongues, which serves two styles, slow-braised tacos de guisado and tacos a la plancha seared on a hot griddle, to Chile & Mango, found inside SunnyCider, which offers chicken tinga, al pastor and birria tacos for a pint and a bite.
Anejo has six classic fillings, including braised beef, chicken tinga, garlic mushrooms, pork chorizo, vegetable pozole and crispy fish, with locations on 4th Street SW and Market Street SE. Blanco Cantina runs three Calgary locations, one on 17th Avenue SW, one on Kensington Road NW and one on Broadcast Avenue SW, and its seating and margaritas make it a fit for a long taco night.
Tu Taco offers eight fillings on fresh-daily corn tortillas in Kensington, while Masa Mama goes further afield with a Korean fish taco and a Mac Mama on 22nd Street SW. Tacos Mexico Memorial lists 24 kinds, the most variety on the roundup, and Spicy Amigos offers 10 fillings with salsa heat that varies by choice.
The source's list runs past what we could read, so the rest of the 11 are in the original Daily Hive piece.
