Tacos, Good Times & GIANT Margaritas Await You
If you haven’t been to Tropical on 17th yet, you’re missing out on some amazing authentic Latin food, hanging out in a beautifully decorated space, and drinking the biggest margaritas you’ve ever seen. They’re kind of a hole-in-the-wall gem restaurant, located at 17th AVE and 14th ST SW, directly next door to McDonald’s with a small patio out front. They’re family owned and operated and have been in Calgary for years, just moving into this space a couple years ago. They’ve got several TVs, upbeat music, and a big selection of creative cocktails.
Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. We’ve teamed up with Tropical to give away 2x $50 gift cards, and tell you guys about their digs. One gift card on our IG, one on our FB. See below for details. Best of luck!

Their nachos are also gigantic and come with a choice of toppings you’d expect, beef, chicken, etc. In this picture I opted for the beef. The nachos themselves are baked and crunchy, loved them. In addition, at each table you’ll find an assortment of hot sauces ranging from tolerable to omg that’s so hot.
