“Best ceviche I have ever had - and I’m from a costal state where it’s very popular. The atmosphere was great and our waiter was awesome! I had the Masa Custed Trout - 10 out of 10!! My son had Barbaccoa quesadilla, it was great too! Little one had a bacon quesadilla he ate ALL of it shocking for put 9 yo! Seriously though, go! You won’t regret it!!“
“The “vegan” tacos were absolutely incredible! Generously filled, excellent flavor and double tortillas. The mozzarella doesn’t seem vegan, though, so you may want to leave it off if you’re fully vegan. There are no tables or chairs. A place to sit would have been nice. But, the food was absolutely worth it and reasonably priced!!Vegetarian options: Awesome vegetarian tacos! They are labeled vegan, but the mozzarella did not seem vegan.“
“The food here is always very good. Their pineapple water was fantastic. I believe they didn't offer chips and salsa in the past, which made it hard to get the kids to go. However, they now have chips, salsa, cheese, and guacamole. Game changer for us, we'll be visiting more.“
“Walked in because of the sign. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised. It felt like an authentic Mexican taqueria. I order two steak tacos, which were absolutely delicious, and Mexican rice, which tasted divine! Very authentic Mexican food for a price that won’t break your wallet!“
“This is the BEST food truck in the city. Period. I've been going here for 10+ years and this is some of the tastiest food you'll find in all of Birmingham. Do not be fooled by the low prices - this is high-quality, fresh food you will love. Also don't be scared by some of the more exotic choices on the menu. My favorite taco is tripa (cow intestine) which I avoided for years because I wasn't comfortable with the idea of eating it. What a mistake that was! Dos Hermanos is amazing. Don't miss it.“
“What a great lunch!!!Francisco was our waiter and very attentive.I had the ribeye cheese steak lunch menu w/ grilled onions and cheese sauce. I opted out of beans and rice...asked for guac/sour cream salad instead and Francisco made it happen.She had speedy Gonzales... Wished the enchilada sauce was a little bit spicier, but she ate it all.Excellent job on the salsa for the chips!!! Best salsa I've had in a long time.Thanks again Francisco and Los Arcos Mexican restaurant... We will be back.Lunch for two=$26...what what!?! Great prices, so be sure to check this place out.WOOT WOOT!“
“The service received was very good and the margaritas were on point! I highly recommend the Guacamole Casera as an appetizer. I had the Chicken Fajitas and my date tried the Fiesta Bowl, it was fantastic! The brightly decorated dining room and bar area just add to the ambiance. My only reason for not giving a five star review is due to it taking almost 30 minutes to receive our food after ordering. They were very busy and the server kept us stocked on drinks and chips and dip. Maybe after my next meal I can update to five stars!“
“Hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant! My wife and I come here at least once a week, it's gotten to the point where the staff know our orders almost before we sit down!The staff are wonderful and make sure you don't go without anything you need. If I HAD to complain about anything, it's that they don't let a drink get below half before refilling, but that's not a bad thing. :)The food is easily the biggest draw. I'm originally from California, so I've been around some good Mexican, but La Cazuela is still the best that I've ever had. Most Mexican restaurants have a very similar taste and style, but they stand out among the crowd, and stand head and shoulders above!I note this below in the parking section, but parking can get a little hectic during peak hours. The restaurant is popular and the parking lot can fill up. There is a church behind that will get used for overflow, but DO NOT park in front of the fire station!Parking: This is a very popular dining spot. If you're going around dinner time (about 6:00-7:30-ish), it can get extremely busy and parking can fill up.There is a church behind the restaurant (Gateway Family Church) that people will use as overflow parking, as the church is usually empty. DO NOT PARK in the grass in front of the fire station next door.“
“01-03-2024 Wednesday supperWe orderd the #29 & it was A LOT of food! Chili relleno, enchilada, burrito, tostado, taco & flauta (I think). Everything was delicious! We love the salsa & cheese dip here. ?This place has been clean every time we've visited here. The people here are so very nice. Service has always been super fast. Love the atmosphere too! Highly recommend.12-16-2023 Saturday 7:PMThis place is always soooo good! Super friendly employees, quick service, DELICIOUS food. Everything we've tried here has been amazing. Huge portions. Highly recommend.(a year ago)Excellent food & great service. Steak fajitas were the best we've had from any Mexican restaurant.“
“Rojo is a staple in the area and I can’t imagine Birmingham without it! Tucked in beautiful Highland Park this gem is a must stop for the local atmosphere and diverse eats. Many gluten free/vegan options, dine in or to go… stuck at home? DoorDash it!!! You have to try the David’s Quesadilla, it’s a personal favorite. Stop in for open mic night for a good time or visit during any other special nights/events. Thank you for everything Rojo!❤️Dietary restrictions: Dairy free, Gluten Free, Vegan options“
“New local Mexican restaurant. The hostess said to try the queso because it is really good. She was right!!! It's a little different than standard fare and very good. The salsa has more of a kick than I'm used to so be ready for that. ;) We've been on a nacho kick (chicken and steak) and the portion is generous and they are excellent. Love the place. Staff is friendly. Service is quick. Prices are right.“
“I don't write reviews very often, if at all, and I could not help but do so here. I got delivery and wasn't expecting much, however, the maravil chicken tortilla soup tasted like home. I'm currently starting to get sick and figured I needed a pick me up, I am more than happy that I chose to order from here. The soup tasted just like how my mother made it. I was honestly close to crying, now is it the most complex thing ever? No. But it's a simple dish that, when done well, can heal a thousand wounds. It was perfect, and I can't wait to dine in some day! Whoever made the soup, needs a raise!“
“This is one of our favorite restaurants in the Trussville area. We love the food and the employees - always happy, helpful, and friendly (Becky's our favorite - she makes a mean Jose Jalapeno!). Have never had a bad meal, and the last visit we noticed they have even increased the size of their queso cup. Never hear a complaint there!“
“Had huevos rancheros wi cafe de la olla, and it was superb. I don't often review, but the food was delicious, service quick and courteous, and atmosphere relaxing but well-appointed. I'm incredibly excited they are in Trussville and will definitely be back!“
“Y'all better come get y'all one of these!Steak Nachos.This so good yall.. like think about homemade Nachos on 10! ON 10!!!yall. But the Tacos I'm goodness they hit too.this your new taco spot,trust me....This your new taco spot!!Go on every day that end with a Y. I'm making it my business to try the whole menu. Promise this good!!“
“I haven't been to a place like this in years..but I went with my friends family and I really enjoyed everything about the place the food there service and everything was clean ...the only complaint I have is about the price and after looking at the receipt when I got home I saw that we paid for an extra meal I'm fixing to call so I will update when I get a response!! Thanks guys!!Parking: They have wheelchair accessible parkingKid-friendliness: These guys were so sweet to the kids behind usWheelchair accessibility: It's ok“
“Favorite spot for Carnitas and Spinach Fajitas (so good that we seldom venture beyond our favorite dishes). Friendly family atmosphere although usually have some sports events on the screens. Food is delivered to table hot and in record time (seriously, you won't find a quicker time from order to eating). Also, very thankful for ability to substitute black bean frijoles. Portions and prices are both very reasonable; usually leave full and with a take-away box.“
“First time trying and everything was on point. Hot and fresh and authentic best tacos I've had in Birmingham and coming from Houston after living there 10 years I love tacos and not just on Tuesday but everyday and this place is great no gimmicks just good food and the people working there are very nice the owners son always has a smile on his face and friendly as is everyone else there. I will definitely be back again I've already been 2 times in 2 days and might be back tomorrow if time permits. Unfortunately these guys aren't on Doordash or Uber eats because the owner doesn't want to do it but he should at least give it a try because the food is good but everybody isn't able to get to the restaurant to come try the delicious food.“
“Incredible food at a great price. Your kids will love this place. The service here is super friendly and helpful. They'll do what it takes to ensure you have a great dining experience. Ashley for example is 5 stars. Thanks Ashley.“
“We have eaten here twice in the last week.. They have amazing fast service for a food truck and yhe baria tacos are best i've tasted in Birmigham... The only issue i can see is that its about 15-20 mins from the main highway. The food is worth the drive..???“
“I have been to multiple Mexican restaurants and by far El Compa Taco Truck has the best taco I never had. It's the first time I tried the food truck and now they have a new customer. If you are in Trussville near Lowe's please give them a try you won't be disappointed.“
“This tacos had been on my tummy for a long time,and they still delicious as the first time. I don't usually take pictures of my food,but today I decided to take one. I ordered some CHICKEN FLAUTAS, these are crunchy rolled tacos, they're not ready when you order,no,it only take 10 minutes to cook them,but trust me,it's worth the 10 min waiting. So,for those who order FLAUTAS, ENJOY MY FRIENDS ??“
“Absolutely the greatest food in Birmingham!!!!! A must amount must!!!!! It taste it looks like there's no way something this complex would make sense. And it never will. They pulled off greatness from what literally seems like they threw darts at a globe and made the menu. Absolutely my favorite spot will always comeback again!!!!!“
“We gave Casa Festa a try in our search for the best Mexican restaurant in Trussville, and it was very good. My wife had the steak fajita quesadilla and she really liked it. I ordered the shrimp, chicken, beef fajitas. It was very good, but l liked the taste of fajitas at Habaneros a bit better. The service was very good and the atmosphere was a bit more upscale than your typical Mexican restaurant.Parking: Plenty of free parking“
“This taco-bar is the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. It might be in a trailer behind jet pep on 1st Ave north. But the service is fantastic. The people are fantastic. The food is awesome. I'm serious. Plus the prices are reasonable. Very reasonable.“
“Went for time on last Saturday. Ordered Pastor, Steak, and Chicken tacos. Everything was, fresh, hot, and cooked to order. Service was quick and everyone was friendly as well. The truck moves locations but I was lucky to catch them on this day at the Dollar General on Pinson Valley Parkway/Hwy 79. I will definitely be back.“

“Taco Mama Downtown, you've knocked it out of the park once again! Last year, we celebrated my 16th Colon Cancer Free-Versary with an epic lunch at your spot. This year, we raced in the Rumpshaker 5k and headed straight to Taco Mama for our 2nd Annual Luncheon. The vibes, the grub, and the service (shoutout to Lee!) were top-notch as always. Thanks for always making us feel like family! Can't wait for the next visit! ?? #hardystrong #rumpshaker #family #fightingcolorectalcancer #survivor #goodtimes“
“Love the food. Gluten free peeps - this is a good place for you! They don't have a gluten free "menu" per say, but you can order just about anything with corn tortillas instead of flour and the food has never made us sick, so they don't use gluten-containing spices in their meats, etc. at least not in a concentration to cause issues. Very fast for to-go orders. It's usually pretty loud inside, but feels like home. Drinks are reasonably priced as well.“
“Fast and friendly! My favorite taco truck! I only order birria meat with everything I get. I've tried the chicken, it was good.... Nothing compares to the stewed birria meat, you must have the soup from it on the side as a dip, or just drink it.... Lots of limes, radishes, and cucumber.... Cilantro and onion come on as a garnish for several items. I only hate that they can't sell their beverages because of the gas station rules. You have to have Agua frescas! Check 'em out!“
“Great food great prices at baja California. Staff is always friendly. With quick service. Love this placeDietary restrictions: I get corn and gluten free stuffKid-friendliness: Kind staff kids menueWheelchair accessibility: Flat surface to get into it.“
“The tacos, omg!! The best tacos I’ve ever had. It’s soooo so yummy! They have cabeza, lengua, and then also your regular tacos like chicken, al pastor, carne asada, carnitas, and so on. I’m telling you. These are some of the best tacos around. It’s so flavorful and spicy! The green sauce and red sauce are so good. They make the tacos fire, if you’re into spicy food. I always get a jarritos drink to go with my meal too. Wow, so good! 10/10.The only down side is that it’s a small area for sitting down, so if you come at lunch time, it gets pretty full. There’s also a little shop attached to the restaurant, where you can shop for some Latino goods. I get my hot sauces here. I love this place! Truly a hidden gem!! Yes, most employees only speak Spanish, but they still understand when you speak simple English and ask for what you need plainly.“
“This place is our second home away from home! Been going for YEARS and it's still feels the same. Great, service, positive attitude, GREAT food. The owner is absolutely amazing.? I just love this place so much. Ahhhh, I think I'll get up and go there now??“
“The food was very good and drinks were fantastic, but you definitely pay for it! A serving of chicken Hawaiian fajitas was $28 and the portion wasn’t very big. WAY over priced! My husband went there and had two med top shelf margaritas, small cheese dip, small guacamole and Hawaiian fajitas and our bill was over $70!“
“I came here to grab a gift card so I didn't order any food. The staff were really helpful and fun to chat with. I was impressed with how clean the dining area was at this location. This was my first time ever coming here and I was pleased with the overall experience!“
