   Came here with the family for my birthday dinner. Great food and cocktails. Amazing service. We couldn’t have been happier.

   Since the first time I went I fell in love with the people, the food and the feeling you get when you come in. Drinks and food are insanely delicious and the people ….awww the people are outstanding. They always remember me and my guy when we come in and staff will pop over even when not serving us just to say they missed us and hello.

   As a lifelong Texan that has recently moved to Alberta, I was craving some authentic Mexican (well, "Tex-Mex" is my love language) food after a few months of missing it terribly. We actually tried to dine at La Patrona, but they don't accept parties of more than 4 which I was really disappointed about as we are a family of 5. We tried The Other Place instead. We started off with the guacamole - which to my experienced palate tasted like it was made with avocados that weren't ripe yet (you could tell by the yellow color of the guacamole) and it seemed they tried to mask this by adding an excessive amount of lime juice. It left much to be desired. Also, as a Texan, I was disappointed that 'chips and salsa' weren't included at the beginning of the meal. This is standard at any Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant in Texas! We also were very disappointed with the quality and taste of the "strawberry margaritas". We tried a frozen margarita, which tasted super watered down, and I honestly could not taste any alcohol in the single or the double that we ordered. The restaurant did kindly honor our request to re-make the margaritas as "on the rocks" and while they did taste better than the frozen margaritas, they were still nowhere near the quality, flavor, or strength of any margarita you'll find in a Texas Mexican restaurant. The tacos were easily the best part of the meal - the Campechano TOP tacos were excellent and full of flavor. Our children were also very happy with the cheese pizza that they shared. Perhaps this restaurant caters to local tastebuds, which is why the guacamole and margaritas left much to be desired. Overall, as a Tex-Mex connoisseur, I will have to continue my quest to find something comparable in the Sherwood Park area, as this missed the mark for me.

   Portobello tacos was a little greasy and not much mushrooms in the taco. Totopos was great as usual.

   An enjoyable impromptu lunch to celebrate my birthday. The experience from start to finish was fabulous. The food was fresh, hot, and very well prepared. We ordered churros to celebrate and the waiter kindly comped them and offered the sombrero for birthday pic (thanks, but declined)! A true gem indeed!

   Another great meal at The Other Place. We really like both La Patrona and The Other Place. We were seated right away (always nice - I never understood why some places have you standing around when tables are open. Something for Earls and the Keg to think about). All the food was great, and the service was attentive. Tres Leches is a fantastic dessert. We will be back. Highly recommended.

   Best Mexican restaurant that we have been to outside of Mexico. We were in Huatulco in January and the food tasted exactly like the street tacos we had when we were there. Very authentic. Should add we were in Huatulco for 6 days and ate there at least once a day. Needless to say they were delicious. Service was excellent, timely and friendly.
