Azucar Picante Restaurant & Cantina - Edmonton, Alberta

I love this place! The food is always amazing, the atmosphere is vibrant, always super enjoyable. I will note there is a women in the staff, she’s blonde. She always had a nasty attitude and a stank look on her face. As someone who works in customer services she should ... acknowledge that her role is to make sure paying customers feel welcome and have a good time. This is not the first time I go and am disappointed by this women. Definitely will come back tho :) Read more

We definitely did not go to Azucar for food in our younger days, but I have gone for dinner twice recently and can’t wait to go again. Food is great quality and delicious. Service was fantastic. We were surprised with our bills on both visits. This was CHEAP dinner with amazing ... quality. Highly recommend both the shrimp and the birria tacos. My friends raved about the pina colada, and the blended lime margarita is delicious too. Read more

I’m so glad we finally checked this place out! I’ve driven past it a million times as it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it is 100% worth a visit. My sister and I used to live in Mexico and Azucar felt like home. Great atmosphere, fast friendly ... service, and fantastic food. We went early for dinner, so we’ll have to return to check out the music/dancing scene and see how busy it gets later on. Highly recommend the Mojitos and Birria tacos Read more

Was there for the first time on Sunday, Mar 10 2024. They have only recently started opening on Sundays. VERY limited menu choices on Sunday. Food was okay, Tacos were pretty greasy from being fried too cold, and the three meat tacos I got for $18 was not filling. Got ... the red and green "hot suaces" , which were really bland and had about the same amount of heat as Heinz Ketchup. Ended up having to order another plate of food to have enough lunch. Total bill with one beer and before tip, was 40 dollars. When did Mexican food go from a hearty meal at a good price, to Nouvelle cuisine, tiny portions. Pretty expensive for a light lunch. I like the Mexican decor but the place is getting a little dog eared. Definitely needs some maintenece, chairs and sofas recovered, etc. The front facade could also do with a spruce up. I almost didn't go in based on how unappealing it looked outside. Service was friendly, but considering I was literally the only person in the place, not really attentive. I might go back and try their full menu, particularly the all you can eat tacos for 25 bucks, but probably not do Sunday again, unless they expand the menu and portion size. Read more

Azucar taco house has a very vibrant Mexican atmosphere the moment you walk through the door. They offer a variety of different tacos and margaritas which were all well portioned and delicious. Our server was incredibly friendly and pleasant as she provided recommendations and excellent service. From appetizers to desserts, ... Azucar excels in bringing bold and refined Mexican flavours. They also convert into a Latin dance club on weekends which is also really cool. Read more
