A little taste of Mexico in the heart of Calgary.
Even though we cannot travel, A1 took us back to the memories of the beach.
Great experience.

Food, service was excellent. A bit loud, but everyone has their own preferences. I’d still definitely return.

Really good! The food was great, server was friendly and helpful, very cute restaurant.

I was dissapointed. There are way better taco joints in the town that don't charge so much. Was hopeful!

We had a blast! The service was awesome, and was super accommodating when we asked to change tables. The food was amazing and served hot! The beer was refreshing in a nice cold glass! Honestly just a great spot! 10/10 would recommend

I liked the authentic Mexican cantina look and vibe. The food and service were excellent.

Love this place ! Tacos are delicious and so are the margaritas 🍹

Great mexican place in calgary. The cocktails are fantastic and the salsa sampler is a must-do!

Casual Mexican - great spot for a quick lunch or drink on patio

Awesome service & great food! Will be back for sure.

This place would get a 5 Star rating across the board except for the chairs which are MOST uncomfortable and the noise. The music is loud and there is not much sound dampening. However, having said all that, it certainly isn't a deterrant for me not to visit and enjoy the EXCELLENT food.

$15.00 for a Margarita in a very small glass, loaded with ice? Will not make that mistake again. Ordered an appie to start, the server wanted to know what we would like for our meal. We ordered a variety of taco’s. The appie they served 3 minutes before all our taco’s arrived, needless to say all taco’s were soggy. Gross. Now with so many good places to eat, do we give A1 Cantina another chance? They were not busy either.

Awesome Taco Tuesday!!! My favorites are the Birria and Fish Tacos. The rest are good too!

Happy hour/taco Tuesday is a great way to experience this place. It gave us the opportunity to try all their tacos - and they were all FANTASTIC! Their cocktails were also sensational. Service was incredible, friendly and energetic.

Great little place in Britania.

The margaritas were delicious. The smokey peach and the fish tacos was awesome 👌

Good location ambiance and food quality … Service was attentive without being intrusive. Chips , guacamole and salsa was a great start !!! See you again 👍👍

Great Tacos, although you have to like corn shells (traditional). Drinks are very expensive, but food is reasonably priced! Good local place to go!

Atmosphere & food were amazing! Would absolutely go back.

I really like the food, but they charge extra for everything: a tortilla, more salsa, limes, etc... Also, non of their salsas are spicy.

Their service is quite slow. It takes them between 20 and 30 minutes to get you a couple of tacos.

Service and food were excellent! Highly recommend trying the salsa sampler - there are some surprising flavours in there and it is fun to mix/match so many different types of salsa with both the chips they are served with and your main meal! Really cool ambiance as well!

Great atmosphere. My friend was gluten intolerant. Our waiter did a great job helping him with the menu.

The food and service are amazing. Highly recommended.

Good food with lots of flavour - nice array of margaritas .

It was our first time dining here and it was awesome authentic Mexican cuisine

The salsa tasting plater was a big hit. chairs need cushions on them. Tacos -some were good like the steak and the pork ones. Flour tortillas would be an option for tacos.

Food is delicious and fresh. Atmosphere was great though music a bit loud for mid day lunch when trying to talk at the table. Wouldn’t stop me from returning though! Tacos and burritos were fabulous.

Food was great and the service was excellent. They have a great patio and a cool vibe inside.

The chips, guacamole and salsa were a great starter. I had the braised beef taco and my friend had the pork and pineapple taco. We had planned on having two tacos each but after our chips and dips we both agreed one taco each was enough. I will definitely be back.

Good food a bit expensive for some things like appetizers. Overall would go back if feeling Mexican food

I usually don’t leave a review but thought I should leave a honest review for future customers and I expected more given the hype around this restaurant. Our server was really nice but the food and menu options were just okay. Tacos were very cold when they came out. A small margarita is $15 (mostly ice) and I do not recommend the pineapple margarita, it tasted almost like chemicals.

Not sure I would go here again.

Great spot and amazing food and service. All the food so fresh and delicious, with tons of flavour!!!

Excellent all around. Services was great, food was delicious and margaritas were amazing!

Birria and pastor tacos were amazing the rest were meh ….8 ingredients in a taco seems like a lot. The mushroom taco was especially disappointing …seems like there was everything in that taco BUT mushrooms.

This is where you need to go for incredible tacos in Calgary. With an incredible menu featuring mouth-watering Mexican cuisine A1 Cantina is a welcome addition to Calgary’s Mexican restaurant scene. Tried almost all the tacos on Taco Tuesday and by far the Pescado (fish taco) was the best. Tried their Avis Fresca as well and it was super refreshing.

First time there and will definitely go back to try Happy Hour 2-5

Such amazing service! Super friendly and food is amazing!

It was a fabulous time. The room was a bit noisy and it was hard to hear the people at our table.

Good food at good value and good service. However very very noisy, could barely converse with my friend. I was there on a Friday night, perhaps that has something to do with it. In the future will definitely return, but probably for lunch or at least not on a weekend evening indoors.

Food and service are great!

Drinks are a bit pricey with margaritas at $15….and who can have just one! We will be back but will stick with the beer!
