Barrio Fiesta - Calgary, Alberta

We were visiting from Toronto and this is the best restaurant we tried in all of Alberta. The food was great. The tita who served us was super nice and friendly. The interior has an incredible beach atmosphere.

The pride of Calgary & the best Filipino dishes we've had in a long time! Thank you Lee, AteV, Jek and crew, and dear friend V for the recommendation. Round1 - After arrival at YYC, we drove straight to Bo Fiesta and had kare2, tulingan gata in banana leaves, ... menudo and lumpiang Shanghai - all 5*s - freshly cooked as you order. Of course with rice (lol), these are not salty nor greasy, the plating and presentation on point, and decent pricing. We had a non-Filipino in our group and she loved all esp the menudo. The Hospitable and very nice owners Lee ( with sister AteVilma) have us try the superb very tasty and crunchy Krispy Pata (their best seller) pancit bihon-mike, veg lumpia with ubod, capped with desserts halo-halo and turon with langka (jackfruit) and sorbetes. Ooohh la la! We were a party of 4, and all gave rave reviews and 5**; it was hard to pick one fave dish. All the dishes we tried are now favorites esp with the generous serving portions and decent pricing. BF as our first stop from YYC airport on a first time visit to Calgary didn't disappoint. We stayed for couple of days did our touristic rounds of Jasper, Banff, the Lakes & Calgary. Time to fly back to the US, and had to make another stop at BF en route to YYC. Lol can't get enough. This 2nd round, we had bangus sisig, pork sisig, palabok, fried and garlic rice. The dessert is the decadent Bilo bilo with ube halaya! Freshly made, all the ingredients are prepared in their own kitchen. Like the halo2, they make their own pang "mix", ie no store-bought OTC sweets laden with syrup. We love the tulingan gata sardines type (you can eat the bones) so much we ordered to go! Frozen and nicely packed leak proof (checked-in inside our suitcase ), it sailed thru the US customs with no hitch. The nice Filipiniana decor and ambiance, with karaoke nite on Friday and live band on Saturday is a treat. Love love your healthy live plants!!! Highly recommend!!! Thank you again Lee & AteV, the friendly and attentive Jek our server, your amazing crew esp the Chef of 22 yrs at BF. The BF Chef is from Pampanga, the culinary capital of decadent and native Filipino cuisine. Until our next visit .... Read more

Been here several times. Food is good especially their halo-halo but sometimes their mains are very very very salty where we couldn't eat it and when I told the server/Mgr, they didn't do anything and didn't apologize either. Customer service needs improvement for sure, slow service, and would sometimes think ... they'd ignore you. The old lady server is very nice though. Atmosphere is pretty nice and chill, pinoy vibes.

Been coming here for years, I feel I grew up here. Everyone is so kind, the food is great. I love the plants and the whole vibe.

Good place to unwind. Best tasting foods but limited customer service. Weekends are full packed.
