Picaditas - Calgary, Alberta

Authentic and delicious, this place has the best “bandeja paisa” in the city. I have taken a few non-Colombian friends here and they are now regulars. Exotic fruit juices and desserts make it a full experience of authentic Colombian flavours.

Amazing food and amazing customer service. Definitely one of the best latin hole in wall restaurant in Calgary! Customer service is top notch.

Food quality was very poor on August 28th 2023 I have no clue what happened, I had the same type of hot dog last time but it was better presented and actually tasted good. This time the hot dog was thrown into the microwave and put together in a rush, yet ... they still took 30 minutes to cook it. The cheese was melted but due to being microwaved, it became hard. The pine apple sauce soured up and lost flavour. I payed 13 bucks per hot dog, I bought a second hot dog to give it a second chance and it came out worse, after one bite I was disgusted and lost appetite, I will no longer be going to this place. Nothings worse than having a 3 hours-long trip going to place that had good food and now it's just cheap and okay with the poor quality Now. Read more

Takes a bit of time for your food to arrive. It's all cooked by order... so bring something to entertain your kids... but very worth the wait!

I have been in this place many times. I think they changed management and that is why I am writing this review. Before, the service was excellent and the food amazing. However, I was there a week ago and my experience was not as it used to be. First, we ... got there and were waiting at the entrance for someone to let us know where to sit which was ok eve if the restaurant wasn't full. After we sat down, we were waiting for the menu and minutes later when the server came, he asked if we were ready to order but he never gave us the menu. Which it is also fine because we understood maybe they were too busy. We ordered appetizers (3 empanadas) that supposed to be served first as "appetizers". Then we got our main dishes and we were almost done with the food and we told the gentlemen that we didn't wanted the empanadas anymore because we were almost done with the food and we wanted them as aperizers and by that time the empanadas weren't ready. Then he just told us "they are already being fried". I replied that we didn't wanted them but he insisted that we have to get them. My main point is that the service now is awful. He could have been more respectful, his actitude is very rude and has zero interest on offering a good service. I have heard from friends and relatives the same story about the restaurant and that is very sad because it used to be a nice place for Latin community. I am disappointed and definitely I won't be back. Read more
