EL CORTEZ REVIEWS
Saying this restaurant was life-changing might sound hyperbolic, but it is so true. The food was absolutely exquisite. Truly perfect. The staff was outstanding. Kind, attentive, helpful. The atmosphere was wonderful. Only sticky part is the parking situation outside the restaurant. If you want an experience, this is the place to come!
We had an amazing time at the restaurant. Our server Kay was phenomenal and was so warm and friendly it really made our evening all that much better. Glad that they also had options for our friend that doesn't eat pork. However... the rest of us were so sad that you no longer had the pork belly tacos! Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
First time here and let me say it was very good! The restaurant is a bit confusing but hey that's how it is right haha the wings were so good and the tacos were so good I'm excited to go back.

JULIO'S BARRIO REVIEWS
We come to Julio's every time we come to Edmonton because the food is amazing and the atmosphere is so much fun. We sat on the patio today, which was a lovely option since it was so beautiful outside! We ordered the flautas to share. These are seriously my favorite thing on the menu. Deliciously crispy and so flavourful. I ordered the white sangria since it was on special and it's my favourite sangria I've had in a long time! For our mains we got fish tacos and the taco salad. Again, they knocked it out of the park. The vinaigrette they put on the salad is insanely good. I can't wait to come back and try the chimichangas!
Awesome atmosphere. We had Nachos and Patiacitad with original bulldog and margaritas. Staff very friendly. Patio was great (bit windy that day) but very relaxing. Tasty and large portions even for appetizers.
I love this place so much. They have really good food. The servers are very nice and attentive. We had a really nice brunch with this perfect weather.

CALLE MEXICO REVIEWS
Love this place! The food is always amazing no matter which location you go to. We were there with a group of 14 people and they were very patient with splitting the bill and all of us ordering and they kept all of our orders straight which was impressive. The food also came out ridiculously fast which was fantastic. Even the atmosphere was great. We of course were a fairly loud and excited group as this was a pre wedding bridal party celebration and it was fun being a small space with different people who were also super positive and interacting with our group through our dinner in a positive way.
Delicious mexican food at decent prices. The enchiladas were amazing. Our party also had barbacoa, chicken, and steak tacos - all were a hit. The horchata is one of the reasons we keep coming back. Nobody spent more than $20 for their meal here, and we all left full. Get there early in the day if you want any of the home made desserts. They can sell out quickly sometimes.
The staff was very friendly! The food was excellent! Nachos were layered and piled high. Tacos were juicy and so flavourful. Cocktails were delicious! Relaxed atmosphere.
