Conmi Taco
Description
Two Filipinos with over 30 years of combined experience in food and beverage are sharing their passion for tacos at our pop-up restaurant located inside Meat Bread in the evenings. Our tacos are made in small batches to ensure the freshest and highest quality ingredients. We grind our corn every morning and hand-press each tortilla to order.

So....I would have given 3.5. The tacos are delicious. We tried honey garlic brisket, Birria, Al Pastor, Shrimp, and Korean fish. 12 tacos in total, the cost came to $84. The portions are a little on the small side for people who can eat, and the cost would equal to a lovely meal at a nice restaurant. It would have been nice if they offered any 10+ tacos at a discount. Cost/portion ratio aside, if you are really into tacos this place is worth checking out.
This pop up is central downtown Calgary, inside Meat Bread a daytime sandwich shop. The ambiance was lacking too small, no vibe per se. The staff seemed inexperienced, not passionate or excited to welcome us. We went for the ceviche and tacos. The ceviche wasn't traditional, scallops and prawn with tomato, onions, cilantro and roasted peanuts on top. Overall, it was too salty and too citric the balance of flavours wasn't quite there. For tacos, we went for Al Pastor which was a safe choice. Good hand pressed blue corn tortilla, tender pork, fresh pineapple salsa. Next up was the Birra which was tender and flavourful but lacked brightness. Last, was the fish taco a mouthful of Korean style sauces breaded fish on a duck fat flour tortilla... not my favourite. The tortilla was too doughy, and the flavours and textures just didn't mesh. Overall, I'd rate it a 5/10, and hope the owners and chefs can refine their menu and find their own location.
I will never need to eat tacos anywhere else again; these are the best tacos I have ever had. The fish taco is simply incredible—prepare yourself for an explosion of flavor! The staff was friendly, contributing to an overall fantastic experience. A big thank you to the staff and chefs for creating such delicious food!
