I don't think I have been so disgusted in a LONG time!…read more A beef dip with no dip, as it was notified as already all over the order boxes by driver upon pick up. Beef Dip: A piece of bread with a couple of slices of chewy and grisly beef, NOTHING ELSE, not sauce or dip. Poutine: The poutine was undercooked, cheap fries in congealed gravy. Starving, I tried it and decided to pass and eat chocolate pretzels until dinner was ready. My partner walked through and asked for a bite as he was working and rushing... it went in the garbage... Tried to feed the sandwich to the dog, even he was unimpressed. To send out food like this is an utter embarrassment! Avoid this place at all costs. McDonalds would do better (and that IS an insult!) ** DoorDash photo of the sandwich didn't save to phone. It was the worst sandwich I have been presented, with bare bread and chewy, fatty, poorly sliced beef. Even the worst road food is WAY better **

The Border Crossing is aptly named, if you, like me, get a little uneasy when crossing into the…read moreStates. This place just puts you on guard for some reason. Let's just say there's a general dinge in the air. Within that expansive general dinge, they have 10 VLTs, a jukebox, and a stage with a dance floor in front. Border Crossing offers a few nightly specials to coax the strays in. Come Friday and Saturday, live music is offered. Thursday night from 9pm - 1am they get a Karaoke Jam going. On Flames game days, they offer $3.25 pints and $9.75 jugs. This place is certainly not a destination pub, but if you're in the area and you're thirsty, it's there. Word to the wise, just like an actual border crossing, make sure you've got your story straight before making the trip - it'll just be easier that way.

Ok... I went to 'Joey's Fish Shack'... I'm sure some of this is perhaps semantics but I can't help…read morebut get a picture in my head of what a 'fish shack' is... in my heart of hearts I wanted Fish & Chips... nothing poncey... battered and fried fish... some decent chips... some sort of tartar sauce and a pint of beer... unfortunately I only got one of those... the tartar sauce was really quite good and accounts for literally one of my two stars. The fish was ok I guess but I expect to (burn my fingers) and be able to pick up my fish... not happening here... to be fair it was quite fine with knife and fork but, respectfully, chef has lost their way on who what they are at a fish shack. Chips were far less interesting (how do you screw up fries?) and were served undercooked poached. Beer? ... you have a chippy and you don't have beer on tap or half of your beer list? Again, in fairness, my server was also my chef and my beer sommelier... all by herself with my lunch crowd of one. In my head you won't need to worry too much about this place... I put the 'over/under' of this spot surviving at 6 months... ...but the tartar sauce was pretty good

So I got the snack pack for $6.75 (Regular price is $8.50). It is a special offered right now between November 16 - November 30, 2019. So I took advantage of it. It came with 2 pieces of chicken (thigh and drumstick), fries and a corn fritter. The chicken was crispy but not overly crispy. The skin was smooth, thin and not bumpy or like KFC with the super crunch. The chicken was juicy and was fully cooked. It was not overly greasy either. The fries were really really disappointing in the entire meal. It looked super unappetizing and sad. Kind of gross. They were not over fried, it is just that they look ugly (like they got squished badly. They were somewhat soggy as well. The corn fritter was tasty. It had a nice sweet taste to it. The outer layer was very crunchy. I had the meal with gravy as well. The gravy was not salty. The portion of the gravy was huge. I somewhat wished that they gave me ketchup as well. Do I recommend coming here? Yes but I will not crave for their chicken on regular basis. Note that all Chicken on the way does not have seating. Yes, it is a place where you show up and grab your meal and go. Chicken on the way has been open in Calgary for over 50 years. Almost all locals know about this place just like how almost all locals know about Peter's Drive In. Chicken on the Way has several locations.

I understand she didn't hear me repeat the order three times, however there was no reason to yell at me or accuse me of lying. I won't be returning to a store that screams at customers for their mistakes.

The fish was overly battered, with only a very thin piece of fish inside. It was much overdone, rubbery and did not taste good, on all 4 pieces. The lemon caper mayo was very good though, had a nice savoury flavor. They were generous with the fries, but by the time they got to our house, they were soggy. The flourless hazelnut chocolate ganache torte with raspberry coulis, wasn't the most appetizing. It had a chai flavor, cardamom and ginger taste. Which didn't go well with the raspberry. Whipped cream melted into liquid. This order came to just under $60, which seemed pricey. I heard a lot of good things about this place since I moved to Calgary and was quite disappointed. We may perhaps try dining in and giving it another chance in the future after reading the most current reviews.

Blue Star Diner is certainly worth the stop in!

Tucked away behind a small restaurant plaza, El Padrino is not shiny or flashy, but boy do they make their food dazzle. We tried the fried plantain, bean and cheese pupusa, and the chicken pozole verde. The pupusas were amazing, filled with gooey and hearty goodness, and the curtido was crunchy and refreshing. The pozole... perfect for warming up on a cold winter's day. The flavors were spot on as well. Other pozoles I've tried have been too watery or too acidic without much hominy, but this one was generous with the hominy while carrying the perfect amount of spice. The homemade tortilla chips also made a splendid accompaniment. The guy running the place was friendly and clearly cared about our food experience. When we ordered the plantain, he brought us out the plantains to check if we were okay with the ripeness. One thing to note is that sometimes they're out of specific items. I wanted to try the horchata, but they were out the day we went. The tamarind agua fresca was a solid replacement, however. Prices are also quite reasonable; I think the bill came out to about $40 for two people who left feeling absolutely stuffed. I cannot wait to go back to try their horchata and chilaquiles (and to get pictures instead of eating everything immediately)!

It's a small restaurant serving different Salvadorian and other Latin cuisines. They do have alot of options to choose from. I ordered combo 14 which had a bit of everything for you to try. A taco, pupusa, Taquito and 1 more item. There are different variations in their tacos and pupusa. They even have a special stew that is served only on Sunday that we need to try someday. BTW, there are tons of places in Calgary that make pupusa but I think this restaurant is the best. Great service and very welcoming. The only complaint I would have is this place does not have air condition. So can be very hot especially in the summer. Overall, delicious food and reasonably prices. Will come back and order other things next time.
