Our Guestbook
“ We went to Tu Taco for a quick bite after visiting the Kensington’s Christmas Market over the weekend. This Mexican restaurant is beautifully decorated with a nice ambiance. We ordered the popular Beef Birria Taco, Chorizo (ground pork sausage) & Carne Asada (grilled steak) Street Tacos and Queso Epica. The tacos tasted sooooo delicious and authentic... the meat was well seasoned and cooked to perfection! We also enjoyed the ooey- gooey melted cheese in the Quesa Epica. Deliciosa!! ”
“ The place is very cozy, and if you're looking for a true Mexican vibe, this is definitely the spot to visit. I ordered the beef birria torta dip — absolutely delicious! It was freshly made, not greasy at all, and packed with flavor. Their salsa is so refreshing and quickly became my favorite part of the meal. We also tried the burritos, and they’re a must-try when you visit. The portions are generous, and every bite was scrumptious. You definitely don’t want to miss out on this one. (It's a blast to you palette) The lady who served us was incredibly kind and friendly. I asked about the price for extra salsa, but she gave it to me for free — such a nice gesture! If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out. ”
“ I visited the other day with a work colleague for Cinco de Mayo! We had never been here but heard lots of good things. It didn’t disappoint! The location is a fun lil spot tucked just off Kensington Road. You roll the dice at lunch for parking though. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food, as expected, was amazing. The guacamole was delicious, Berria tacos were great. We also had the 4th street tacos.... Everything was so yummy. We sat outside on their patio in the sun. With music playing, it felt like we were just off a beach somewhere. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you ”

“ Just visited this taco spot and I’m still thinking about it! We tried a bit of everything; tortilla soup to start (so comforting and flavourful), then dove into a lineup of tacos: al pastor, chorizo, veggie, papas, carne asada, and pollo asado. Every single one hit the mark. The meats were juicy and well seasoned, the veggie options were legit; not just an afterthought and the tortillas? Perfectly done. I asked for the spicy salsa, and they did not hold back. Just the right kind of heat that adds fire without killing the flavour. Honestly, these might be the best tacos I’ve ever had in Calgary. Plus, the service was top tier friendly, quick, and super attentive. 10/10, can’t wait to go back. ”
“ Honestly hands down, the best beef birria tacos Ive ever had!!! And try the papas (cheesy fries with pico de gallo, queso sauce, melted cheese blend, sliced green onions, guacamole and sour cream.
