Awesome service and amazing authentic Mexican! The street corn elote was awesome - and so were the tacos and the green chili '. Managerial staff was great and came over to introduce themselves :)
Much better our second time around. shrimp tostada is amazing!The pineapple brings out the sweetness of the corn . An the combo of the creamy sliced avocado with the crunch of tostada , perfection.
The focus here is on fresh, local and made from scratch. Meats are humanely raised, family-farmed and smoked onsite. The restaurant’s only freezer is the one that stores the popsicles . Read more
I enjoyed the service by Kaitlyn. Very knowledgeable & good recommendations. Decent drafts . Chip and salsa are excellent. Can't go wrong w chile relleno . Fish taco was a bit fishy, not in a good way.
Lovely combinations of soul food and Mexican-Texmex influences. Love the catfish taco ! Wide variety of whiskies and tequilas at the bar as well .
One of my favorite places to go Molly the bartender is great she is helpful in selecting what to eat and has our drinks ready before we even ask
You need to try the drunken hog if you have not already. I think it has become my favorite.
It has been said that too many cooks spoil the broth, but chef Josh Gentry said that Sopa de puerco , sort of a Mexican-influenced pho , was the result of his kitchen’s collaborative environment. Read more
The patio is comfortable , but one table in the middle gets a wind-tunnel effect from both fans - be careful! Food is great.
The fried chicken here is unbelievable! I know you come here for Mexican but do yourself a favor GET THE CHICKEN !
Order the donkey daddy margarita . It will knock your socks off in a good way!
Ask for Collin and Kat! They are great! Fast and friendly service ! Love it when they are my servers!
Changed their menu, appears be to trying for a more formal entree based approach. I miss the a la carte sandwiches and tacos
The burrito bowl with chicken is terrific. Do yourself a favor, though and stick to beer -- the cocktails are very hit or miss.
Amazing first experience! Will definitely go back. Their pork was so tender!
Love the brisket burrito !!! My husband loves the fried chicken
The Fear and Loathing is great; if you're looking for a way to change up bourbon , this is it.
Remarkably the FRIED CHICKEN is the best in AL!
Everything here is completely made from scratch- they even grind the corn to make masa for their corn tortillas !
There's extra parking in a gravel lot across the street if the main parking lot is full.
After a recent visit, I understand why this place doesn't have the greatest of scores. As always, the food was great. The service was terrible. I felt like the server would rather us not be there.
Salsa : ok. Chips : stale, greasy & nasty. Veggie Quesadilla : quite tasty. Mexicoke: yummy, but too warm-- also a glass and ice would have been nice, instead of just the bottle. Waiter : absolute jerk.
This place is great. All tortillas , chips , bread made in house.
The lunch bowls are awesome!
The salsa is great. Taqueria was really good too.
Patio was very enjoyable. Server seemed fake but tamale and chile relleños were awesome.
Brisket . Brisket . I said brisket , so why is ya still thinking about ordering something else?
I had a Little Donkey burrito and my stomach is still thanking my brain for taking it on a hot date.
The bourbon stormy is SO GOOD! Try it!
Get the street corn !!!!! It is awesome.
Wifi !! Try the donkey daddy !! Fabulous!
After waiting for an hour and a half the staff allowed someone to take our table for a party of 12. So be sure to watch for your table!

Frozen Margaritas best in town
The servers have no clue what they are doing, but the food was still good!
Fried chicken is TERRIFIC.
Try the donkey, it's extra spicy !
Get the fried chicken !
Salsa is great. Drunken hog...not so much.
Fried Chicken !!
Very interesting.
Little Donkey has the biggest ice cubes ever
an untapped source of Blanton's
Service was not exactly great...
Refills are not free, big surprise on the bill
One word..."Paloma" :)
Terrible service. Got order wrong for me and my date. They charge for every refill you get. Took forever. WILL NOT COMR BACK
Yuck!!!!!!! Servers are unknowledgeable, cant make bloody mary , terrible food!!!!!
I've been here a number of times and always try something different. This is my favorite Mexican Restaurant in Birmingham - Latonia Nettles
My husband and I meet here for lunch once a week. I'm a vegetarian and they always accommodate my request. Today I had the #4 with a bean burrito and cheese enchilada substituted for the meat. Yum!! - Audra Hudgins
Loved the pineapple jalapeño (although it is red pepper flakes and not japs). The watermelon is amazing :) The avocado was good to taste but couldn't eat the whole thing! This place is awesome!!!! - Ashley B.
I can lose myself here for hours! So many top-notch quality items and you should definitely come by here to shop, sit down and eat as well! - Noelle
