About Native Tongues Taqueria

Native Tongues Taqueria operates three locations in Calgary, Alberta: the original in Victoria Park at 235 12th Avenue SW in the Beltline neighborhood, plus spots in Britannia and University District. Since opening in 2015, this Mexican taqueria has focused on street market-inspired food from Mexico City, using house-made non-GMO corn tortillas for all dishes. The menu centers on **Tacos al Carbon**—charcoal-grilled options like carne asada striploin, pork belly pastor, and fish la Baja—and **Tacos de Guisados**, featuring braised fillings such as cochinita pibil pork, barbacoa de cordero lamb, and frijoles with black beans in adobo. Street-style **Antojitos** include esquites, chilaquiles verde, sopecitos, papas fritas, and coctel de camaron, alongside burritos, quesadillas, tortas, and flautas. The bar serves craft cocktails, a wide mezcal and tequila selection, sangria, and house-made **Aguas Frescas**. Services cover dine-in for lunch, dinner, and brunch; takeout; delivery; and catering for events. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available. Native Tongues has earned recognition including Best Mexican / Latin-American Restaurant in Calgary 2024 from Avenue Magazine, Best Margarita in Calgary 2024 from Taco Week & Margarita Madness, and Top 3 Best Mexican Restaurants from Three Best Rated. These spots provide laid-back settings for Calgary residents in the Beltline, southwest Britannia, and University District areas.
