Ate here while in Calgary for the Stampede. The service was so warm and welcoming! She patiently explained the different menu items and made helpful suggestions. Don't quite remember what we ordered but everything was delicious! The red chilis in the dishes are SPICY. The ambiance is so fun as well. Highly recommend this place! read more

Barrio Fiesta - Goat dish - Filipino Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

See all

The pride of Calgary & the best Filipino dishes we've had in a long time! Thank you Lee, AteV, Jek and crew, and dear friend V for the recommendation. Round1 - After arrival at YYC, we drove straight to Bo Fiesta and had kare2, tulingan gata in banana leaves, menudo and lumpiang Shanghai - all 5*s - freshly cooked as you order. Of course with rice (lol), these are not salty nor greasy, the plating and presentation on point, and decent pricing. We had a non-Filipino in our group and she loved all esp the menudo. The Hospitable and very nice owners Lee ( with sister AteVilma) have us try the superb very tasty and crunchy Krispy Pata (their best seller) pancit bihon-mike, veg lumpia with ubod, capped with desserts halo-halo and turon with langka (jackfruit) and sorbetes. Ooohh la la! We were a party of 4, and all gave rave reviews and 5**; it was hard to pick one fave dish. All the dishes we tried are now favorites esp with the generous serving portions and decent pricing. BF as our first stop from YYC airport on a first time visit to Calgary didn't disappoint. We stayed for couple of days did our touristic rounds of Jasper, Banff, the Lakes & Calgary. Time to fly back to the US, and had to make another stop at BF en route to YYC. Lol can't get enough. This 2nd round, we had bangus sisig, pork sisig, palabok, fried and garlic rice. The dessert is the decadent Bilo bilo with ube halaya! Freshly made, all the ingredients are prepared in their own kitchen. Like the halo2, they make their own pang "mix", ie no store-bought OTC sweets laden with syrup. We love the tulingan gata sardines type (you can eat the bones) so much we ordered to go! Frozen and nicely packed leak proof (checked-in inside our suitcase ), it sailed thru the US customs with no hitch. The nice Filipiniana decor and ambiance, with karaoke nite on Friday and live band on Saturday is a treat. Love love your healthy live plants!!! Highly recommend!!! Thank you again Lee & AteV, the friendly and attentive Jek our server, your amazing crew esp the Chef of 22 yrs at BF. The BF Chef is from Pampanga, the culinary capital of decadent and native Filipino cuisine. Until our next visit .... read more

Waitress was alone no help... read more

This is as close as you can get to the Barrio Fiesta back home, if not better. We're visiting here from LA and we're pleasantly surprised how this is much better than any of the locations in LA. We ordered Kinilaw na Kambing, Inihaw na Isaw, Bulalo and Flying Tilapia. We finished everything! If you are looking for authentic Filipino in Calgary, I highly recommend this place. This is a MUST. PS: Their service makes you feel like you're eating at your Tita's kitchen. Thank you, Barrio Fiesta Calgary! read more

Thank you so much for making us feel special ! Best service ever . The servers are very polite and very accommodating . Love the halo halo and the lumpia . And the crispy pata !!! We will surely come back and enjoy your band . read more

Soups are amazing! Very home cooked meal type meals. The staff are supper friendly. The price is amazing!

The sisig was awesome as well as the pork BBQ. Last time I ate Lomi was in the Philippines, their lomi tastes so good. The kare-kare was the best, it felt like you were in the Philippines. The meat was tender and the peanut sauce was thick with real peanuts. The turon and sans rival, a must have dessert. And the owner is so friendly. Definitely going back before flying back to NY. read more

My partner and I love coming in for a quick bowl of Halo-Halo thats made right and lots of entertainment to enjoy!

I had the lowest expectations for this restaurant BUT i was hugely mistaken. The food is amazing. I ordered sinigang na hipon ( shrimp sour soup) and lechon kawali ( deep fried pork). I can absolutely say their food is something to come back for, each time im in a business trip here in Calgary. The restaurant facade ( outside) is nothing extraordinary, but the interior has that local Philippine ambiance. Did i say their food was excellent? This coming from me who knows the kind of food they serve and from someone who loves to cook their kind of dishes. Also to top it all off, the staffs are very courteous and attends to my needs. This makes my whole foodie experience with this restaurant an amazing one. Oooppps gotta go. My halo halo ( mixed preserved fruits with shaved ice and milk) dessert is here !!!! Check out the pictures so you know what I'm talking about:-) read more

This is the most welcoming restaurant for out-of-town guests! Coming from Seattle, WA, USA, we had no idea what to do here but found a homestyle Barrio restaurant for us to have lunch at. With amazing Filipino hospitality, we felt right at home as if we were back in the Philippines. Maraming Salamat! read more

Food taste great but too bad that the portion sizes for take out is barely enough for 2 people. Charging people $22 per dish is pure robbery. Never order from them on skip. You will just end your experience in disappointment. You just lost some customers. And its too bad...i used to play for your basketball team back in the day. Won you some local championships and this is how you repay us...Good job! read more

So, I've lived nearby for years, and always noticed the restaurant, but never tried it even once. Decided to come try the place out for dinner on a whim, and was not disappointed. The prices spooked us initially, limiting some of our choices, but the server assured us that the portion sizes were enough to split between two, so we got an appetizer, entree, and dessert to split. Food tastes like home cooking. I have basically no experience with Filipino cuisine, so everything was a new experience for me. We ended up getting Filipino pork spring rolls, which were crispy and delicious. Very similar, but also different from Chinese or Vietnamese ones. The entree was their "Kare Kare," which was basically a peanut sauce beef stew with veggies. It's listed with tripe on the menu, which I was excited for, but we were told that they weren't allowed to serve tripe anymore. Seemed strange to me because every Vietnamese restaurant in town would be in trouble. It was good, but maybe a bit undersalted on its own. However, we were given fish paste to eat with it, that completely transformed the flavour and complemented the dish. For dessert we had the deep fried banana, jack fruit, and ice cream. To go we split a cake thing I can't remember the name of. It was moist, delicious, had some nuts in it, and I'd definitely go back to pick it up again. Overall, delicious food. The place is a bit dark and could use a makeover, but I'm not one to care about what a place looks like as long as the food is good and the kitchen and bathrooms are clean. read more

In Calgary for work and I was happy to find a great Filipino restaurant. Sisig and turon are really good!

We are from LA and went here today for the first time. We were craving for Filipino food and this place didn't disappoint. We ordered sizzling pork sisig, bulalo and lechon kawali. Bulalo is especially delicious and tasted like it is home-cooked. Would not mind going back to this place whenever we are in Calgary. The dessert silvana/sans rival is also very tasty. read more

They have the best crispy pata, kare-kare, sisig and deep fried "flying fish". These are the best I've tasted, having been to a lot of Filipino restaurants here and in the US. The ambiance is nice too with very attentive servers. Highly recommended when you are in Calgary! read more

Great food and staff..nice atmosphere..me and my husband enjoyed the pork barbeque and turon was sooo good! Highly recommended!!!!

I had the tapsilog and the kare-kare, which were both good. The garlic rice was a pleasant add-on. The surprise is that they had chicken-skin chicharròn to go! Clean restaurant with friendly staff. I would definitely go back again during my future trips to Calgary. read more

Nothing compared to LA... Glendale is way better! Small servings! Tita's way better! Not a typical original Barrio Fiesta taste! Kare kare has five chunks of small meat. Just being honest! Quite disappointed. Not coming back! Nahhhhh! read more

All the food that we ordered tasted delicious. We bought the chicken adobo and pansit. Are you going to learn to enjoy some of the music I was playing in the background. Especially Ben and Ben. read more

Man...let me tell you something about this restaurant. I am not from Calgary, I am from the US and I've been to a lot different restaurants including Barrio Fiesta all over the world but this one...IT IS SECOND TO NONE!!! The service was excellent and the foooood...it was the bomb!!! Than you so much for that awesome dessert and for singing a birthday song. I will definitely come back here soon - Christian read more

I've tried many Filipino restaurants around the world, but Barrio Fiesta is among the best Filipino Food I have ever had. I ordered their Kare-Kare, Kaldereta, and Halo-Halo! Extremely pleased with my food and experience! They're outstanding and super friendly as well! Can't wait to go back for my next visit! Will try their famous crispy pata next time :)) read more

Went here 2nd week of July. We spent a week in AB and this Filipino restaurant has one of the best ginataang bilo-bilo. It kept me and my group coming back. We went here for late night dinner and enjoyed the food and the ambiance. The owner is also very nice and friendly. She gave us tips on which nearby places to go to enjoy our week stay in Alberta. Coming from Houston, we're new in Canada but this restaurant made us feel like we're home. Highly recommended! read more

The food at this restaurant is the best filipino cooking I have had, except my Ate Vangie's, sorry mom. We have been ordering take out and have the Calderata, the Chicken Adobo, and the Pancit Canton. Today I tried the Sinagang which is one of the few filipino dishes that I can make, and I was very impressed. The service was really great too! My SO only wishes they had buckhunter there! :) read more

This is my favorite restaurant. The food is of very importance to me. I also enjoy the decorations inside the restaurant. The owner and employees are always a pleasure to talk to. For this and more I give 5 stars. read more
