A Passion for Authentic Mexican Flavours

"Every dish tells a story of our heritage, crafted with recipes rooted in Mexican tradition."

Welcome to Birria Cantina & Grill, where we bring authentic Mexican cuisine to the heart of downtown Calgary at 227 11 Ave SE. Born from a passion for birria and bold, honest cooking, our kitchen takes pride in serving mouthwatering tacos, juicy grilled meats, and dishes packed with personality.

We are a family-owned and operated restaurant, offering a dynamic space where traditional Mexican recipes meet modern flair. Our signature slow-cooked birria features beef brisket braised to perfection in a savoury, flavourful stew until juicy and tender - a true celebration of Mexican culinary heritage.
