$6 CHILAQUILES + $5 MARGARITA
= $11 AT NATIVE TONGUES TAQUERIA
HAPPY HOUR
When even $15 is a little much, Native
Tongues’ happy hour (2 - 5 pm and 10
pm - close) comes to the rescue with
a hearty plate of chilaquiles — totopos
piled with salsa verde, crema, queso
fresco, onion, and cilantro — and a
classic margarita. In fact, any two things
on the happy hour menu will be under
$15 (page 52).

AT HOLY GRILL $10 PANNENKOEK +
$5 DOMESTIC BEER = $15
AT PFANNTASTIC PANNENKOEK HAUS
If the spirit moves you, get thee to
Holy Grill for a basic yet well-made
hamburger topped with tomato,
lettuce, and onion (or splurge for some
extra toppings) and “holy water,” a red
and white wine mix (page 49). If you’ve never had pannenkoek — a
large, thin, crepe-like Dutch pancake
— it’s important that you do so at
the first possible opportunity. They
come in savoury and sweet varieties
at Pfanntastic Pannenkoek Haus, but
cheese and leek goes great with a cold
beer (page 50).

MAY/JUNE 2017
For the under 18 crowd,
teetotalers, and just about
everyone, nothing beats a
classic burger-and-shake
combo. Peters’ Drive-In
is a local institution and
lineups are a usual sight, but
it’s always worth the wait
(page 49).
Put that KD back in the
cupboard — we did the
math and came up with
10 tasty and varied dishes
that can be enjoyed at
Calgary restaurants for
$20 or less, including an
alcoholic beverage.
$10 RAMEN + $6 TO $8 SAKE OR BEER
= $18 AT GORO + GUN ON SATURDAYS AND
HAPPY HOUR (WEEKDAYS 3 - 6 PM)
There’s one small catch for this deal, so let’s get that
out of the way — it only applies to Goro + Gun’s
tachigui noodle bar, meaning you have to stand up
salaryman-style to eat. Choose from seven varieties of
ramen and add three ounces of sake or a draft beer to
keep the bill under $20 (page 52).
