Absolutely delicious! The tacos are a little expensive for the small size, but incredibly fresh and tasty. The mushroom tacos are particularly yummy! …

We went on Taco Tuesday when they are $2.50 a taco. Each taco is quite small - like you can down it in 2 bites - but very tasty and fresh. I love the …

Would be higher rated if the service was better. The server (Charolette) was cranky and snarky and it made the experience much less enjoyable. Service…

I’ve been here about half a dozen times. I keep coming back for the AMAZING carnitas tacos, and although I haven’t tried many other items on their menu, I’m writing this review to talk about the fantastic service.I went there with my boyfriend and sister around 9pm on Thursday, April 26, and we were served by a young man whose name I neglected to get. He was hands-down the most attentive server I’ve ever had, yet not overbearing. He paid attention to even the little comments, and when I had even the slightest look on my face like I wanted to say something, he made a point of coming over and asking me if I needed anything else. The staff also got my sister a new cocktail when she wasn’t happy with the one I’d ordered for her, and they recommended her a great tequila when she was a bit lost with the massive selection. I was so impressed with the service that I found myself thinking about it all weekend!After all this, on our way out, I left my phone on the table. Our server ran after us down the block to return it! I wish we’d tipped more. Native Tongues, hold onto this guy… I’ll be returning in hopes of having him as my server again.
Native Tongues was a great experience. An excellent atmosphere, cool decor, and low stress, great service. The pork belly pibil was at absolute smash, bursting with flavours. So, so, good.The rating was broughtdown only by thechips and guacamole. The guac was ok, butit was a bit bland compared to others I’ve had. Will definitely go back.
I think I’ve been here about five times so clearly I don’t dislike it. But the last couple times it’s dawned on me that all I’m really getting is a plate of luke-warm small tacos with the standard fillers. They’re still good but man, I can think of at least 2 other places that are as good. My friends would make fun of me and fat-shame me for always suggesting Native Tongues but I kind of see their point now. Or maybe my self-esteem has finally hit rock bottom.
Well executed, classic Mexican flavours were abound. Nice variety, and elevated takes on homey classics (barbacoa, carnitas, etc). Nothing jumped out as memorable though. Everything was good, just nothing blew us away. Would be back, just wouldnt clear my schedule to make it happen.
Great food, friendly staff. The tacos are small, but delicious. The guacamole was perfect for someone like me who hates onions as it had no onions. The only thing I did not like was the seats. It was very busy when I arrived but I was able to get a seat as I was alone. The food was served in a timely manner. I would recommend visiting, but make reservations if you are 2 or more .
A few friends and I were planning to have girls night at native tongues. We put our names on the waitlist and were told around 40min. So we decided to walk a block away to a restaurant for a few drinks and appies. One hour later we get notification that our table is ready and we message back we are on our way. Literally 10 minutes for us to walk there, and they said we would have to wait another half hour. We were very disappointed.I asked to speak to the manager and discussed this scenario with him and he was unsympathetic and I explained they cannot expect someone to wait that long to eat at their establishment and should consider reservations at least certain nights. He was very unprofessional.Although their tacos are good, I would not spend my night in a line or waiting 1.5-2 hours for many places in YYC, especially not for these tacos.I will not be going to this establishment and will continue to deter all my friends from eating there by simply saying its a waste of time and I dont agree to help out a selfish business model.
Food was bland and awful! ordered the burger and it came out salty. very disappointed with the good, though service was excellent. Would not recommend for authentic Mexican!
