Some of the best mexican food around!
From out of town, Came here for a concert. We got out super late and everything else was packed and or closed. This place was an absolute treasure!! Not only are they open super late, but the food was hot and delicious. We got tacos and a torta, and all of it was so good and fresh. Very filling as well. The chips and salsa were fresh and refilled often. Truthfully, I haven’t had tacos this good in a very long time. The service was good and fast. Will be coming back here when passing through Birmingham!!!
Authentic, authentic, authentic ! I haven't visited this restaurant in over a decade but the experience was just as great as the first experience that I've had. They're open very late, which is awesome for people who like to experience the nightlife and get something to eat afterwards. The food is awesome. I had the quesadilla with rice and beans, fresh salad, & guacamole that was made to order with fresh limes. Customer service was excellent from beginning to end. We were immediately seated upon arrival with no hesitation of service. I will definitely be back. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food.
The food was great my wife and myself loved it
I came around 4 pm on a Saturday and the place was basically empty.i got the Pollo Ranchero and it was delish. The veggies were tender and warm and the chicken was well seasoned. The refried beans were creamy and beany. The rice was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be coming back.
Excellent service,delicious food.Everytime we good is a wonderful experience. I highly recommend the Carne Asada plate,Best sirloin steak cooked to perfection and juicy not dry 😋 👌
I will never return to this town of Birmingham again. After eating here we went to get gas and there was a dude asking my gf for money. Pretty sure he was thinking about trying to rob us. One of the customers in the station was acting sketchy too. Now as for the restaurant the food was good. There was hardly anyone there and it was a long wait for food. Their sauce is a bit different..I prefer traditional style salsa. Waitress was very courteous and professional. The music was pretty loud though and could have been turned down
Authentic and amazing food. Beware of reviewers that cant even spell meat correctly..doubt the have been very far out of the city let alone to central Mexico. This food is absolutely authentic and delicious.
This place has great food, and a definite hole in the wall vibe. Very much feels like a place that caters to its community. They're open really late, and serve food late too. It helps to know a little Spanish because the menus don't explain every item, but you don't *have* to. Overall, great spot for authentic Mexican that doesn't feel like a tourist trap.
Good food, polite server, BUT we (fiance & I) were the only ones in there & it still took quite some time to get what we ordered.
Tacos were not very good!! Food was over priced and even though it was close to closing the employees had a dry and stand offish attitude. Accidentally forgot keys inside their establishment and instead of letting us find them they declared keys were not inside and left us (2 females) alone in their dark parking lot. Needless to say the keys were found inside the next day with no apology!!
I just went to have drinks. The margaritas can be better & my waitress sucked. Most definitely won't go back.
We didn't get what we ordered so she took the plates back and returned with the correct order. Not going back!
Horrible unpleasant service. Does not serve frozen drinks. Waitress stated they were a beer bar. Margaritas taste and look like green kool aid. My complaint is mainly the server.
Manager was disrespectful to the waitress didnt have any consideration what so ever , i ordered a shrimp cocktail and got a tomato cocktail only 4 shrimps inside , food didnt have no taste .
The food was not good at all; didn't taste like authentic Mexican food too me. No disrespect, It just had a bad taste. I love Mexican food and eat it all the time. The margaritas had a bad after taste. ( I had frozen) gave mines to someone else. But, the service was great and the people was nice! 🙂
Everyone was friendly and the service was quick, And by that I mean I sat down and 3 minutes later I had food in front of me. Food was below average, I don’t even think it came close to Tex mex food, let alone “authentic” Mexican food.
This was by far the worse experience that I have ever had at a Mexican restaurant. The service was terrible, food was aweful, and the whole atmosphere was eerie and seemed to want me to leave. The staff was absent after our food was brought. We had to ask them to come from the kitchen so that we could pay and leave. Save your money and go anywhere else!
The chicken smelled off putting, the service was terrible, and the atmosphere was unwelcoming. I felt as if i was a hindrance to them. Took them five mintues to come to front so we could pay. I wondered why they sold Uhaul rents and why there was a stair case to a strip club. I now know one is to supplement income and the other is for escape!! If i could do less than one star I would.
