Reviews for EL BESO in Edmonton, AB
We found this place based on Google's rating but unfortunately were not very happy with the chicken burrito and our food. The... staff are super friendly and I like the vibe, but I wish the portion of the food was bigger. Basically, the main meal was morelike an appetizer than a full meal. Cheers! Read more
We ordered the guacamole & chips, the guac was delicious. For our tacos we ordered the Carne Asada & Pollo en Salsa Verde. They... were both tasty and filling ! The atmosphere at El Beso was very welcoming & kind, will be for sure returning :) Read more
Black owned local Mexican restaurant. Happy hour is from 4-6 which makes it a great place to go for an affordable dinner. I had... a classic margarita and tacos which were very good. The service was fantastic and the aesthetic was great. It’s located closeto Rogers place and is a good spot to go before/after a concert or hockey game. Read more
Incredible tacos, they have happy hour at a really good time. The vibes are good and decor is fitting. Its a little small and... cramped, but its popular for a reason. Great, friendly service. Read more
Really wanted to love this place as we live downtown and were so excited to try this new spot. But it was super... disappointing. Tacos were ok. The meat was over cooked and dry. Enchilada tasted like tomato paste. Refried beans wereundercooked, not at all authentic Mexican. Drinks were not bad but also nothing exceptional. The worst part? For a smallerspace, please take to considering the intimacy of your dining experience. There’s no need to blast the music to the point thatit seems like we’re eating at a night club. The sound caries easily through the restaurant and conversations add to theoverall sound level. I almost left because it was so loud I had to yell at my date for her to hear - just unacceptable for anicer Mexican restaurant. Read more
The staff were really friendly and fun. The cocktails were super yummy. But the food was a little disappointing. Ordered the... Hibiscus tacos which were unpleasant. The happy hour menu is also not clear so I ordered them expecting them to be part of happyhour and they were not. They definitely are not worth $17. The guacamole was also really disappointing as it was very bland. Thedecor and atmosphere is really cool, so if you're just going for cocktails and this is a good place to stop Read more
Horchata was amazing! Margarita was good as well. Fish and Chicken Tacos were great. Staff was accommodating and able to provide... a hotter salsa and it really made the meal enjoyable. Happy hour runs from 3pm-5pm, definitely will return. Read more
Went here in a Saturday night with 5 friends. Sat down, and waitress did not come for 20 minutes. Was not that busy. After... coming, she apologized and took our orders. Another 20 minutes later, still no drinks. She came back, apologized, and said wewould get a round of shots on the house. Waited 10 more minutes, still no shots, no drinks, nothing. First restaurant/bar Ihave walked out of in 10 years. Avoid this place if you value your time, worst service I have ever received. Bar probably losta 500$ table due to complete incompetence and lack of organization. Read more
