Shaylene Cameron

Amazing authentic food and crafted cocktails. The decor and service is 10/10 the whole menu is also pretty much gluten friendly except for one desert! We will definitely be back soon.

Sue Cook

Lots of gluten free options. He took time to explain what I could and couldn't have, very helpful and knowdgeable. When you deal with something like Celiac, you really appreciate a place where they make an effort to look after you. Thank you!

Amandaaa aaah

I've never been not in love with everything I eat here! 🥰 Not to mention the crew there being just so precious. For a quick gluten free delicious lunch, I recommend the bags of Mexican Rice from the fridge, sided with their amazing chips and Avocado salsa! Makes my day hehe

Jessica Shifrin

Really delicious tacos at a great price, I’m celiac and felt very safe eating here. Everything was gluten free. These tacos were on par with the ones I’ve had in Mexico City. Lovely service as well, would recommend!

Rachit Ray

Alaya Navratil

Went here for my mom’s birthday, not only were the staff lovely and the food was so tasty. There were so many gluten free options, including empanadas, all of which we thoroughly enjoyed!

Anika White

AMAZING and very accommodating for celiac. One of the staff is also celiac so this was one of the few restaurants we could feel very confident eating at. All the service was so friendly and made our night

Mackenzie Cumming

Staff were great about gluten free requests!!

Today was probably my best day at Costa vida I am celiac and even though they couldn’t offer me the sweet pork burrito they had tons of other suggested meals for me to try. They were super happy and enthusiastic at the front and made sure that I felt welcome. This is by far the best location in all of Calgary if you are planning on getting Costa vida come to 130th ave. They also gave a good sized portion of everything from the sweet pork on the enchiladas to the rice on the side she also gave me some sauce as a suggestion to put on my rice and it was amazing.

This is my favourite burrito place in the city. As someone with a gluten allergy, it is so hard to find delicious tortillas. The tortillas here are the best. Every meal is packed with flavour! I come often with my family.

Honestly this is great Mexican food, much better and more authentic than Mucho Burrito. However, my stomach doesn’t agree with it at all. I have no allergies and I’m not gluten intolerant but I’ve had digestive issues and stomach pain both times after ordering here. I thought the first time was just a one off, but it happened again. A few hours after eating I get extremely gassy, and I have sharp pains in my lower abdomen that lasts for several hours. My assumption is that they don’t properly soak or cook the beans so there’s still toxins in them — not sure what else it would be that’s causing it.

Today was the any special deal and I am celiac. They used to make me a sweet pork burrito out of the corn shells or they would just let me get two enchiladas instead of the burrito but they wouldn’t give me the deal and they refused to make me a gluten free burrito. So I ended up paying full price for a very little amount of food because there so cheap with how much they give you and they charge so much for it. Very bad service food is usually good but there getting worse and worse every time don’t come to this location go to 130th avenue if you are planning on eating Costa vida.

Nancy Hamel

Omg… hands down, the best tacos I’ve ever had. And they’re gluten free?? Incredibly delicious. New favourite spot.

We came here tonight for supper. I placed an order on the app right before we walked into the restaurant. Less pressure as we can look at the menu as long as we want haha. We were greeted as soon as we walked into the restaurant. I let them know I did an online order and they checked for it and said it would be about 5 minutes. I went and asked my husband and brother which drinks they’d like and came back to order them. It seems like a small detail, but the cashier remembered my name and asked what she could get for me. Our food was delivered to our table promptly. We have gotten Costa Vida delivered or for take out many times, but we decided to eat in this time. I chose to write a review mostly because the staff were so lovely here!! Everyone we talked with was so friendly and attentive. They even thanked us and said goodbye when we left too. It’s those little things that make a difference, so kudos to the team tonight. Also! Ha. We all ordered enchiladas, our go-to, and the reason we crave Costa Vida. No pics but food was yummy, portions were great, sauce amount was also good! Our fave is the medium green sauce. I appreciate I can get gluten-friendly corn tortillas here too. Oh and there are high chairs! Thanks everyone at CV Royal Oak!

Maryam Hatam

The place to go for tacos! Food, service & atmosphere were great! They give you a free house shot on your birthday and it's delicious! If you're celiac, very knowledgeable staff and lots of great options that are gluten free!

Andrea Llewellyn

We had 3 different tacos and the food was great. I loved the Birria Tacos especially, but the Fish and the Lengua were fantastic too. The restaurant has a great aesthetic and it's authentically mexican. I highly recommend. Also lots of Gluten-free and dairy free options, I highly recommend.

Christie Bachelder

Reasonable price, friendly service, lots of gluten free options

Coco C

Great meals and gluten free options!

Best Mexican food I've had since moving to Calgary! The staff also is very knowledgeable about gluten free options.

Dana Olsen

Really cute place, with lots of vegetarian and gluten-free options!

Megan W

Absolutely amazing food, staff super friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free. Also has the gluten free wrap. Definitely gets my moneys worth. Love this place.

I've been a regular customer at this location, but my recent experience has left me deeply disappointed, particularly for those of us with celiac disease. The location has significantly declined in its commitment to providing a safe dining experience for gluten-friendly individuals. While the owner may take steps like changing gloves, using spoons, or fetching items from the back, his staff will not follow these practices. Instead of using the provided spoons for serving, employees are reaching into food containers with gloves that have just touched gluten products. This direct cross-contamination is a huge red flag for anyone who needs to avoid gluten. As someone with celiac disease, this experience was not just disappointing; I can no longer recommend this location to anyone looking for a reliable gluten-friendly meal.

Andrew Berkshire

My mother has celiac disease and we told multiple diffrent people multiple time, and multiple of the staff assured us the food was fine but she still got sick. Not only that it wasn’t even busy when we got there but the food still too a long time. Good tasted ok I guess, would not go here if you have celiac or allergies or any kind.

Lisette Xavier

Jenna was incredible. Tequila was incredible. I’m celiac and before we were sat at our table they did an allergy check and brought out Gluten free chips which were…you guessed it - incredible. Great vibes for a great night. Can’t wait to be back.

Kiran K.

Very friendly staff. This location is consistent with their service and how they make their bowls. It’s a consistent portion. I also appreciate the gluten friendly burrito wraps as well have family members that require the modification.

K Kealey

The service here is always super quick and the food is great. Lots of veggie and gluten free options too. I highly recommend getting your burrito cheese crusted!

Tim Gareau

Always great food and the gluten friendly tortillas and burritos are awesome!

Pamela Wilhite

A very special thank you to Sam for her service today during the dinner rush. I have eaten here many times for lunch as I work nearby, but Sam is the first employee ever to pull fresh containers of veggies from the fridge to ensure zero cross contamination in my meal when I mention I had Celiac disease! This may seem so simple to some, but to a Celiac, it is HUGE! Eating out can be distressing and the extra care Sam took today really made my day! Thank you Sam!!

Keith Uthe

We enjoy the Gluten Free and Dairy Free options that are available on the menu. The restaurant is always clean and comfortable.

BarBurrito in Symons valley offers a delightful Tex-Mex experience that caters to a variety of tastes. On my recent visit, I was impressed by the extensive menu, featuring options like the bang bang crunchy chicken burrito, which was both flavorful and satisfying. The pulled pork burrito stood out with its tender meat and rich taste. For those seeking a lighter option, the burrito bowl was fresh and customizable. The establishment also accommodates dietary preferences, providing gluten-free choices prepared with care to avoid cross-contamination. The staff’s attention to detail and friendly service enhanced the dining experience. Overall, BarBurrito is a commendable spot for anyone craving quality Tex-Mex fare in Calgary.

Delicious food, gluten free options and work with allergies

Christopher Skeen

Went in for lunch today. Employees were attentive to my gluten allergy and got vegetables that weren’t contaminated. Order a chicken bowl, was pretty good, and didn’t get sick.

Danika Jacob

All their sauces are gluten free. Corn tortillas are available. They are great with hand washing and changing gloves every time they get pulled away with a different order while making yours.

Catherine Carruthers

The food here is so good. It has so much flavour and every bite just as good as the last and they have gluten free options which is just as good as an regular taco I’ve had

Chloe Tse

We ordered doordash from this location and loved our lunch. Instructions were followed, order was fulfilled quickly, packaged well, and the staff even included a friendly note for us :) I love that they have vegan and gluten free options, and healthier alternatives for “fast food”. Will be back

Jaret Hargreaves

Probably the best soft tacos I’ve ever had. And gluten-free so my lovely partner can have them!

Gaby Dominguez

I was suggested quesadillas but I mentioned I could not have lacteos and the only reason to go there it was because I lOVE sopes!.. had a big craving for days and decided just to go and have that. Unfortunately, it came with lots of cream and cheese so I mentioned to the server, asking to just take the topping of .. so, didn't happen. I ended up swapping my nice, I guess delicious sopes ( I guess bc didn't have them) and I had my friends " birria" . Just a bit disappointed "overpriced" It was not enough meet or lots of juice and tortillas fried instead of just regular, nice warm and soft. Have to say, they were nice bringing me the warm tortillas. So, just still now, with my sopes craving 😩!.. I am celiac and lactose intolerance so that place is good option without the lacteos. Hope one day give them a try...

Natalie Forcier

Very affordable and so delicious! Love this place and can't wait yo try the weekend Pozole. Also had no issues for a person with Celiac.

The two of us arrived at Tu Tierra around 6pm on a Saturday and didn't have to wait for a seat, as there were plenty of available tables. We were greeted and told to pick any table we wanted and grabbed one near the window at the rear of the establishment. There was a substantial basket of chips and medium-spicy, fresh salsa placed immediately on the table (honestly, there was enough to almost make it a meal). The menu is pretty extensive with an emphasis on authenticity and combinations. We chose the Molcajete, which is supposed to be for 2 people, but when it was delivered, all gloriously bubbling and smoking hot on the platter, there was easily enough to feed three. We were advised that they were missing a certain ingredient for the Molcajete (pork rinds) so we asked them to substitute whatever they wanted, and it turned out to be a mountain of additional veggies on top of an already large serving of beef, chicken, and mixed veggies, plus a side of rice and beans. The sauce and ingredients in the Molcajete were excellent, and my only wish would be for about 30% more corn tortillas to make it a true meal for 3. As it was, there were just enough tortillas for two of us to completely over-stuff them and still take 50% of the meal home in a box (minus the tortillas). We also enjoyed a Pacifico and lime Jarritos. I highly recommend the Molcajete for $52+GST and tip. I'm only giving 4 stars on the atmosphere because there was no gluten or dairy identifiers on the menu, which I think wouldn't be hard to add and probably should be on most menus these days. Otherwise, great food, great service, everything is super clean and bright. Oh, and check out the floor when you are there... It's really cool. Looks like it's on fire.
