El Gran Cafe Castillo

Amazing authentic Mexican food! Highly recommend!

Bit salty the food.

It really seems like homemade food! Muy bueno!!

Honestly, the food made shopping for furniture a lot better. 11/10 food was amazing.

Great steak tacos. Definitely worth visiting.

I had the pleasure of visiting El Gran Cafe Castillo in Birmingham, and it was an absolute delight! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The decor is charming, with a perfect blend of modern touches and traditional accents that reflect the rich cultural heritage of the café.

The menu is a treasure trove of authentic Latin American flavors. I ordered the Arepas with a side of plantains, and every bite was bursting with freshness and flavor. The coffee was also exceptional—smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. You can tell they take pride in sourcing the best beans.

What really stood out to me, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure a great experience. They even took the time to explain the origins of some of the dishes, which added a special touch to the meal.

El Gran Cafe Castillo is more than just a place to grab a bite; it’s an experience that celebrates food, culture, and community. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee or sitting down for a full meal, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended!

First of all, do not trust your GPS. This amazing place is IN the Ashely Furniture store. That being said, these are some of the best tacos I've had in Birmingham! The meat is super flavorful, the salsas are homemade and add even more depth to the already delicious tacos. The staff is amazing as well. Do yourself a favor and try this awesome place out!

Go into Ashley Furniture and go to the back left corner by the bathrooms. I had some excellent chorizo tacos that were not dry at all.

Very tasty food and friendly staff. Take a walk and you'll see, you can't eat just once, you'll come back with good seasoning. I recommend you.
