Great service and drinks! Food was quite good too, onky negative would be the olives are quite bold smoky flavor (actually tasted like goat? Very odd) apart from that another home run spot from Daniel Costa and Co.

Had a good meal and visit with a friend tonight. The young woman who served us was very friendly, informative and attentive without being overbearing. We tried the burger and the Atlantic cod, both of which were great.

My reservation was for a party of six. It was a large booth with a long table, which made it difficult to communicate with each other. Proper tables with chairs would’ve made it easier to visit each other. It was very tight behind the table, sitting in the booth, the food was good. The service was excellent, but the seating arrangement was marginal.

About the restaurant

If you want to sling tacos and tequila you have to be in the right place. Bourbon Street comes with a long history of being the centre of West Edmonton’s restaurant and nightlife scene, so we knew it was the perfect spot to plant our taco flag (yes, we have one in the back) and open up “shop”. Walk down the bustling promenade and let the energy of our cantina draw you in. Come check us out and let us feed you tacos and tequila!
