My husband & I planned a chill date night and they did not disappoint. The food was flavorful and the drinks were great. I really like the laid back atmosphere. We recommend the steak tacos!

FINALLY!!!! Somewhere in bham with good tacos!!! For drinks I got the salud margarita and the mezcal cocktail. Both delicious however for the price you’re paying it comes in a very small glass filled with ice. I got maybe 3-4 full sips out of both cocktails and I’m not exaggerating. To me that’s just ridiculous. However the food, hands down the best tacos in the city. Ask for extra tortillas as they are Homade, tacos were plentiful! Service above all else was phenomenal. They also have a “taco bar” it’s two salsas and some fixings so you do it yourself.

Edited: We got the chance to come back after their full opening and it was absolutely delicious! A great addition to Birmingham’s food scene and actually authentic Tacos Al Pastor!
Came in at 11:01 on a Saturday night and the kitchen was closed even though they say they are open until midnight. I guess they don’t like making money. We will have to try another time to actually taste the food, but everything looked great.

Came here because it was the only place open! The chicken quesadilla was yummy, probably the best I’ve had in a minute 🔥🔥

The tacos are good, but they were very expensive for me. I understand the location and the remodeling cost, but with those costs I couldn't go there often hehe. I thought the sauces were meh, I missed the typical green tomatillo sauce. The suadero tasted to me like the meat from Guadalajara. The very good shepherd. The drinks are also delicious.

The best taqueria in the Birmingham area, come and try it for yourself. I'll just give you a small tip, order 2 first because they are really packed with meat.
Salud did not disappoint! The food, salsa bar, and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere, music playing, the vibe was perfect. Our group of 3 sat outside and visited on a Thursday around 6:30pm, it was a great night outside. The location is great for downtown. Service was wonderful, everyone is outgoing, smiles, and very kind. This is my favorite Taqueria/ Mexican food. I can't wait to try the breakfast

Applaud yall for having cactus on the menu. Im vegetarian. I still eat egg and dairy but nice to have cactus on menu so it was a given to come here. Cashier was having side conversations with coworker and no holding down her position. New customers are coming in and would like attentiveness especially with exploration of Spanish menu at hand. I know some Spanish but I ain’t fluent. Anyways, other than that food was great. I like the variety at taco bar and thickness of sauce. Fresh chips. My friend and I enjoy. FYI: overkill on the beans, seriously mega protein. Just saying.
Vegetarian options: Cactus can be applied to any Mexican dish: taco, bowl, tortas, quesadilla

Best tacos in Bham. Prices are a little higher than what you're used to, but the portions are GENEROUS. Tacos are loaded with meat. All of the salsas and toppings are wonderful. Service is pretty quick too. Great hours!

Great new option for Mexican in the downtown area. Convenient location, cool atmosphere; my only complaint would be that the tacos are slightly small and it takes quite a bit of food to fill up, but what you get is tasty no question. Tried the Sonoran tacos and enjoyed it (but needed that 4th meal to finish the evening).
I'd give it another try in the future, but it's a bit of a hard sell when Paramount is right across the street. Regardless, I hope it does well for itself - the staff are pretty cool folks. 👍🏼
