| El Sombrero Restaurante Mexicano | Latin American | Informal | The helpings of Mexican food are freshly-cooked and generous and the occasional serenade of Latin music gives this small second floor eatery a pleasant cosy ambiance. But there was a certain sameness in the dishes, and the mañana service was a little too laid-back. Reservations recommended. | 520 - 17 Ave. SW 228-0332 | Su 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. M 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Tu to F 11:45 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sa 5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. | ||||||
| Juan's Mexican Restaurante | Mexican | Informal | There are no maracas or sombreros nailed to the wall or burros painted on the door, but with friendly right-from-Mexico staff and good food, the atmosphere is far more authentic here than in many places that put more emphasis on the decor than the dishes. Good vegetarian selection. | In the basement of Scotia Centre Entrance off Stephen Avenue 266-0051 www | Su closed M to F 11:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sa 4:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. | ||||||
| Salt and Pepper Mexican Restaurant | Latin American: Mexican | Informal | The setting is pleasantly Mexican, which in itself can warm you up on a blustery Calgary day. The service was good, and so was the food. But it still tended to be a little bland. Perhaps the name is a hint that you need to add the salt and pepper yourself. Good vegetarian selection. | 6515 Bowness Road NW 247-4402 | 420 16 Ave. NE 230-7370 | 4351 MacLeod Tr. S. (on the west side) 243-3173 |
