    This cute little spot located in Banff, came here with a group of 6 during happy hour and got seated right away. Happy hour goes from 3-5pm daily or late night 10PM onwards. Food- ordered about 4 tacos, 50% off selected tacos. I ordered 1x chicken, 2 beef and 1 fish. The fried fish and the beef tacos were my favorite. Well seasoned, with an addition of the hot sauces from the table, it hit just right. Also part of the happy hour special, ordered a $12 bull dog. A little on the icy side but worth it if you're a marg/corona fan! The corona was a bigger bottle corona in comparison to the mini I was expecting!! Overall would recommend and come back :)

    Spicy Cauliflower Fajitas

    Very interesting food. The servers were friendly and cordial. The service was prompt. They also had a happy hour on drinks from 10:00pm to closing. Their double marg was delicious. I had the spicy cauliflower fajitas. They were yum! The cauliflower and mushrooms were cooked very well. Overall an awesome experience.

    This is such a great place to eat, drink, and people watch! We sat outside on the patio right next to the sidewalk and street. The server was so kind and helpful answering questions about the menu. The food was flavorful and plentiful. The strawberry margarita was perfect! Would definitely come here again!

    Happy Hour Tacos (Beef, Chicken, and Pork)
    Arron P.

    The service here was friendly. We came here for happy hour and made a reservation ahead of time but it wasn't really necessary since it wasn't busy. The tacos did the job but nothing too special. This was a one time visit for the experience.

    Burito with salsa & chips

    Was excited to find a Mexican place in downtown Banff. Unfortunately it is not good. There was a seating inside and upstairs (rooftop). We were told the menu was different after the fact. Rooftoo seating is loud and unpleasant. Do not recommend at all. Salsa and chips are the worst i ever had. The food itself was subpar and very pricey for the quality / quantity served. Super disappointed on drinks as well. The frozen drink is a scam and you wont be able to consume any of it. Didnt taste like anything. Do yourself a favor and go to any other place in the town. Parking is paid in downtown area. Free parking by train station.

    Two exhausted hikers ran into Magpie for an afternoon snack. They were running their daily taco happy hour. I don't expect much from 50 off tacos but they exceeded my expectations! The side of rice and beans - not so much, very dry and even stale. Overall, not a bad option for a casual quick meal. The service was perfect!

    Nachos
    Atharva D.

    The food would be described as, at best, mediocre. The nachos were exceptional, but the remainder of the meal, consisting of the tacos and quesadilla, failed completely to meet the expectations the nachos unfairly set early on. The refried beans were likely salvaged from a liquidation sale at grocery store... 10 years ago. Service was friendly enough, and the ambience was as one would expect of a themed bar. If you're looking for anything more than bar food, try somewhere else! If nachos are your favorite first, second and third foods, then come on down!

    My standards might be high because I am from California so I get to have authentic Mexican food all the time! Over all I thought this place was good and the vibe was very fun! I got to sit right next to the Sombrero and it was a good laugh every time someone was surprised! My only reason for the 4 star is the drinks were very weak and simply did not match up with the cost at all.

    GOAT Nachos, chicken quesadillas and beef and pork tacos

    Alice is an awesome server. The attentiveness and energy made theeal souch better. The food was great, tasty and reasonably priced. Go for the GOAT Nachos they really are the GOAT.

    Chicken fajitas
    Long D.

    Good vibe, so so Mexican food, quick seating on Monday family weekend. Food a little bit slow but the fajitas came out sizzling as expected. Beef and pork tacos are ok, small for the price. Missed the 50% off though. Server refills water readily. Nothing spectacular.

    We were craving Mexican food after a busy day out and saw this place pop up when we searched online. Saw a bunch of reviews and good ratings on google so we made a reservation right away. When we came, on a Monday afternoon, it wasn't too busy and we definitely didn't need to make a reservation. We sat outside at first but then it was drizzling a bit and got a little chilly so our waiter was very nice and let us move inside. As an appetizer, we started with the GOAT nachos to share and subbed the pork with chicken which was a couple dollars extra. Nachos were yummy and hit the spot. For food, we got the chicken quesadilla and chicken tinga tacos with since and beans. Unfortunately, very disappointed with the food. The beans were literally from a can and tastes awful and old. The quesadilla and tacos were okay and nothing special. I definitely wish we went to another place to eat instead.

    Quite expensive food for the quality, but it is in the heart of Banff so perhaps that's why. The tequila roulette is such a fun and interesting idea-- two members from our group tried it so it was a coin flip for them! I tried it-- the spicy tequila is SPICY! The chicken quesadilla was pretty good, it was packed. Also tried the bison burrito-- a unique find, and it was also pretty good.

    I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

We were crammed in the corner next to their barricaded section of the rooftop and didn't stick around longer than it took us to finish the drinks we bought downstairs.
