Open air sun-drenched rooftop taco bar located on the roof of Magpie & Stump in the heart of downtown Banff. A local favourite for fresh Mexican eats, tikki cocktails and casual drinks. Menu hits include loaded nachos, huge burritos, fresh salads, and of course tacos.

Open-air fiestas are our area of expertise, serving up margaritas and cervezas under the Banff sky to the sounds of local DJs.

*In case of inclement weather, your reservation will be moved downstairs to the Magpie & Stump where the same menu is available.

    We made reservations for 6 p.m. worked well. the restaurant was less than half full. We got the worst table even though we had reserved right when you came up the stairs. There were other free tables, this was clearly visible on the reservation tablet/app. The person ushering the table even ran into the tablet because we were sitting there. unfortunately weak. Tacos weren't too bad. The shrimp, chicken and beef taco were the best. Taco flatbreads are not made from corn. The typical Mexican taco flat taste was missing.

    Smelt like actual garbage - tried to move tables and couldn’t get away from the scent.

    Service was great but food and margaritas were okay. The tacos were good but not amazing. I’d try somewhere else before going back. Oh and my margarita was just okay, not sure there was any booze in it.
