The service here is very good, and the ambiance quite nice; however, its food pales in comparison to other Mexican resteraunts in the city and I would be hesitant to return. Only one member of our party was satisfied with his meal - so I would suggest that if you choose this restaurant, you choose the burrito. Overall, I wouldn't... More

The atmosphere is so charming. I had such high hopes. I have heard from friends that there is no good mexican food in Calgary but we were sure this would be it. The homemade chips were good if not a bit too salty. The pico de guillo was strong on onion, could have used more cilantro and tomato. I noticed... More

As resident of Inglewood, I love the fact that we have so many good eating options within a stone's throw of home. Salt and Pepper is not the most refined of them, but it offers a good experience and tasty food. The service is always courteous, it is usually possible to get a seat, but be careful because they don't... More

I have only eaten at this restaurant once, and that was enough to find out that I would never eat there again. The service was horrible, the food was crappy, and the price for the whole experience was a joke. Please look at other options like Chinese food or Pizza before you consider eating at this place!

My wife and I were at the Inglewood Salt & Pepper restaurant Saturday evening. Warmly greeted, we were taken to a nice table in the outdoor patio area. Each staff member we met were friendly, and eager to assist as needed. Janine looked after us all evening. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and service was excellent. We started with salsa and...

The food is delicious and the portion sizes are very generous. There are several veggie items to choose from and gluten free options. The service was a bit delayed when we attended, but it seemed to just be a busy spell. I would return and recommend.

Anyone who has eaten Mexican food Anywhere in the world, will not like this restaurant! The entrees were not bad, but the appetizers were horrible. The Salsa con Queso was just a bowl of warm salsa with a sprinkle of cheese melted on top, instead of the traditional melted cheese with a little salsa mixed in. This dish was so... More

We used to go to Village Cantina all the time and were never disappointed. Not so with Salt and Pepper. The fajitas were disgusting and the server had never served wine before. He never filled up our glasses once and kept putting the lid back on ??!!. Will give it one more try since I live in the neighbourhood, but... More

We drove through Inglewood looking for some good food, and stopped at this amazing place. We were greeted with, "Hola, it's Taco Tuesday!" Yes, we had all you can eat tacos with some rice and beans on the side. I felt like I was "South of the Border". Everything was authentic from the food to the decor. The staff was... More

Been there a few times. Whenever we have family visiting in Calgary, we come down from Red Deer and often eat here. The food is delicous and the staff are so friendly. They are actually Mexican so they know what they are talking about. Great Sangria also.
