 The freshest and fastest subs and wraps |
400 Crowfoot Crest North West Calgary, AB T3G 2P6 Canada +1 403 241 2201 http://www.badassjacks.com/loc... |
For sandwiches and wraps where you know exactly what you're getting, check out Badass Jack's. The beef here is sliced right off a roast, and the poultry is carved from a rotisserie chicken, directly in front of the customer. There are no real menus here, so you decide exactly what you want on each sandwich, right down to the sauce ingredients. A sub or wrap is usually ready in less than five minutes, making this a good place to grab a quick lunch. There are 10 or 15 tables in the restaurant, which uses deli-style self-service instead of waitstaff. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Extra cactus paddles, please |
2218 Ave SW Calgary, AB T2P 1B7 Canada +1 403 264 4777 |
Since salsa culture has become Calgary's latest craze, the owners of Casa must be smiling smugly: they have been offering the food, music and spirits of Latin America for years. The large menu includes classics such as ceviche, sopes, burritos, and steak and seafood dishes. There are also Italian dishes with a Latin American influence, such as fettuccini with cactus paddles and pizzas topped with chayote squash. There is live music here on weekend nights, and enough tequila and fruity cocktails available to inspire some hot dancing. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This unusual place combines Tex-Mex cuisine with some prime Alberta beef. Aside from a wide selection of fajitas and chicken dishes, you can also order some great Alberta beef as well as burgers and sandwiches. They also offer margaritas at half price on Wednesdays, and if you have a sweet tooth, be sure to check out the pecan/chocolate chip pie. It's big enough for sharing. Review © 2007, Wcities |
