Tacos Mexico is located in the SE, across the street from Marlborough Walmart in a little unassuming retro looking building. You&#8217;ve probably driven past it a million times but never gone in. You&#8217;d never expect that some of the best tacos in Calgary (and most authentic) are behind those doors. Their tacos are legit, and they also have a wonderful selection of other Mexican foods.
