“My husband and I just ate at Los Monchies Mezcarrita Grill. Lovely little spot right off of Hwy 25. Food was delicious ?
Highly recommend the choriqueso dip for an appetizer and the chimichanga cheesecake for dessert.
Staff was extremely friendly and super excited to tell us all about their favorite menu items.“

“First time at this location. The menu is similar to the larger Calera location. Food was good and consistent across both places. The only difference we felt was that the rice was not as good here. It was a bit on the plain side. However, the overall prices seemed less for a very similar experience. Would recommend.“

“Not a fan of the chips and salsa... WHAT?!? But, that's OK. I've been looking all over for a GOOD Molcajete. My search is over! This is it! WOW! The flavors are amazing! Thank you, Rancho Escondido Mexican Grill!!!“

“Maya is my go-to spot for Mexican food. They are fast & always provide great service, but this week they went above and beyond. When my server noticed I was trying to eat and feed my baby a bottle at the same time, he told me to eat, grabbed the bottle, and fed the baby for me. I’ve never had such a kind gesture happen from a server before. They go above and beyond for their patrons!“

“Good food. Good drinks. Good service!!“

“This place has the best fried Gordita. Much better Gordita than Gordos and Mi Pueblo... The tacos are delicious as well. One of the best Chorizo tacos I've had. The only thing to make this place perfect would be to have fresh tortillas, but I know fresh tortillas can be difficult to make for such a small place. I can't wait to come eat here again!“

“I have lived here my whole life and how I didn’t know this fantastic place was here I will never know..

My street tacos were the best ever! The salsa that came with it cleared a stuffy nose. My hairs started to sweat! It was PERFECT.

Friendly and fast service, I was at the tail end of a busy lunch break.

I will be back!“

“Hidden gem! The food is always delicious and authentic, and the staff is always delightful. Highly recommend.“

“Todo las quesadillas los tacos 🌮 ay todo lo demás“

“The cheeseburger and fries are absolutely amazing!!! One of the best burgers and fries I’ve ever had!!!!“

“I always have a great experience when I dine in/order take out from this restaurant. The staff are excellent and always go above and beyond to ensure quality service. There was a slight mistake with one of my takeout orders tonight, but when I brought it back, not only did they remake my meal in a timely manner, but also gave me more chips and salsa and cheese dip (not part of my order) as a courtesy. I will keep coming back to Casa Ortiz. They have quality service and the food is always great! The steak street tacos are always my go to.“

“by far the best i have ever had. my Lengua Burrito was absolutely delicious. i asked for a chicharrones. plain. oh my. the best i have ever had in my life. i have been frequenting this establishment for a couple years now and every single time its just the best food ever.“

“El Agave is one of our restaurants in Montevallo where locals and college students go to have some great Mexican food. They have drink specials at lunch and Tuesday evening margarita specials. The food is good, and I like their salsa, but I wish they had larger salsa bowls. They are quite small. Other
than that, it's great.“

“Fresh and wonderful tasting Mexican food. I’ve brought people here who have raved about how good their food tasted. It’s a hidden treasure for sure!

Vegetarian options: You can easily customize your food to match eating preferences and the food quality, taste as well as presentation are still immaculate.“

“We went for the first time today! My new favorite place! Very friendly and wonderful service! Made me feel right at home! Fabulous margaritas and food! ❤️🌮❤️“

“The assistant manager Destinie(I’m sure I spelled it wrong even though I asked 🤦🏽‍♀️) and her crew at this location are always super helpful, efficient and sweet anytime I have placed an order here. I love Moe’s! Always have since it was a drill weekend tradition for my mother and I while she was in the military. We have been to our fair share of Moe’s locations and this Alabaster one has been the best one yet and continues to be so over the years. Excellent customer service and a very hard working crew. CORPORATE, you need to make sure you are taking GOOD care of these great people that choose to show up and enhance your brand with their labor, as I’m sure you know good help is hard to find in this day and age.“

“My order is always correct and made properly. The food taste great. It is always clean inside and out. The service is exceptional whether it’s a dine or drive-through. I visit there at least once a week and I have never once had a bad experience. They are great. I highly recommend. Also their online app is very easy to use.

Wheelchair accessibility: They offer handicap parking right by the front door.“

“This location is the best! Drew is always polite when I see him. He’s always friendly and has a smile on his face. Ezra is by far the sweetest person! Montevallo only has a few options for lunch and it’s nice to know I can count on them to get my order right every time!“
