hat is this mysterious pachanga? Dirty Dancing fans will be familiar with what was supposed to be the ending dance of the summer (from which Baby and Johnny Castle steal the show). Fluent Spanish speakers will recognize the word to mean “party” in English (though it only seemed like the Pachenga was a party for the seniors at Kellerman’s resort).

Taking a cue from both the Cuban dance and Spanish party, this Pachanga is a fusion of Spanish and Latin cuisine that will entice Calgary diners with heated flavors and spicy aromas. Don’t expect Patrick Swayze though. –E.J.
