We sat at the bar and had the best oysters I’ve ever had! The place was completely full on a Tuesday. I’d suggest making a reservation here. Thanks Matt for taking such great care of us. Absolute best experience.

First time at Native Tongues while visiting Calgary. We’ve eaten a lot of Mexican food inside and outside Mexico and wow is this place good! The Papas Norteñas which is delicious but extremely filling. I recommend sharing a bunch of dishes family style your group to try a bit of everything. We would definitely return.

Our son's 40th birthday dinner. Great food, service, and people. Felt like home probably wouldn't have left for a while had we not had other plans. Would recommend everyone try this dinner experience at least once, if not make it their favorite place to dine.
