“Had a great time here! Had the smoked chicken quesadilla and the strawberry and dragonfruit agua Fresca and it DID NOT disappoint! Had an amazing server (Aspen) who was happy to ensure we enjoyed every aspect of the meal. The booths are a bit uncomfortable because the tables don’t overlap the seats very well, but other than that, this place is a must-try!“

The food was delicious and they brought us extra napkins I forgot to bring for the cake (it had been my mom's birthday 2 days before) our server was excellent too. I can't thank them enough for their kindness.“

“Amabilidad y muy rica la comida.“

“The food here was amazing.. They prepared my food fast but the only problem I had is when I came in with my Service dog, which had Service dog jacket on was told that I had to leave. I told him she was a service dog and he said he didn’t care and I told him that he might have the ADA down here if he doesn’t let me order some food and go then he let me come in and get my food. My dog was properly marked with a jacket service dog maybe they need to be educated about Service dog in the ADA.“

“Best tacos hands down. Tacos are always packed with lots of meat and served w/ grilled nopales (cactus) and cebollita taquera(green onion). They give you green and red salsa bottles to take to your table to enjoy throughout your meal. For drinks they offer Jarritos or agua frescas. Aside from tacos they also have quesadillas, pambazos, burritos, etc.“

“A hidden gem without a doubt!“

“Last night, May 22nd, my daughter graduated and my family and I went to Baja after the ceremony. They were so busy but our service was wonderful. Our server, Will, had multiple tables with big parties and he made sure to check on us as much as possible and apologized for being all over the place. He was absolutely wonderful and dispute him having multiple big parties our service was still great!“

“Staff is always friendly and very helpful. My husband loves to practice his Spanish here and they are always trying to help. He asked how to say something in Spanish and our waiter was kind enough to write the phrase down for him. Food and drinks are great. Gracias mis Amigos!“

“Ordered 4 chicken tacos & 4 steak tacos...I will say not enough sauce to even put on your tacos...very dry with the sauce provided. I got the green and red sauce (2 each provided) for 8 tacos; oh, and a steak burrito w/o beans. Was not very satisfying for the money spent. Please ask for a LOT of sauce if you get this order...I mean a lot.“

“The Birria tacos was very good.“

“The food and service was incredible, but the fried avocado was so different and delicious! It was amazing! I wish they had a location in Mobile!“

“Taco Mama is the kind of place that makes you forget you’re just grabbing a quick bite. The atmosphere is always buzzing — colorful, lively, and full of that laid-back energy that makes tacos taste even better. The menu keeps it simple but fun, with build-your-own options and cleverly named creations like the “Yo Mama” and “Cheezy Beef.” Every taco bursts with fresh flavor, and the ingredients taste like they were chopped minutes before hitting your plate.“

“Thank you all for accommodating our party of 18 very last minute… These guys are great. Literally called from Logan’s and asked if they’d accommodate our party due to poor service at Logan’s. They said yes come on. We walked across the parking lot walked in stood for less than 5 mins and they had us set up and ready to go. Food was fantastic… All the staff were so friendly.. Our waitress was exceptional. She handled our big crowd perfectly.. Highly recommend trying the fresh guacamole 🤩. If you want good food and good service definitely try them out…“

“I’m way behind in offering a recommendation for the Homewood location of Maya. Between there and the Alabaster location, my Mexican food cravings are more than covered and they are always patient with my substitutions and the like. Service is top-notch and the food is excellent. Highly recommended!“

“10/10- have used them several times for catering large groups and have never been disappointed. Neither have my guests!! Great food. Extremely affordable. Very accommodating. My go-to for Mexican cuisine in Columbia.“

“Had a great experience at Sol Azteca Mexican Restaurant! The food was fresh and full of flavor, the atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for a team meeting, and the staff provided excellent service from start to finish. Definitely a great place to enjoy authentic Mexican food with family, friends, or coworkers. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!“

“Ordered pickup and it was fast and delicious!!“

“Store #3105 is phenomenal!

Sodhi and her team are pleasant, attentive, and eager to satisfy. The restaurant is clean, fresh ingredients are easily available upon request, and the customer service is top notch.

My family is always excited to swing by when time and parking allows. One of our favorite lunch spots downtown.“

“Cuando voy a Homewood, siempre paso por Tortas Locas. Hay gran variedad de platillos, pero me encantan los alambres combinados y las fajitas de pollo. Ven y lo compruebas.“

“This place is tried, trusty, and true. It has no frills, only bright lights. The food comes out fast and hot, the margaritas cold and often. It's a cozy place to sit down for a loved one's weekend birthday celebration or a classic, weeknight dinner. While you can finds the old classics of tex-mex cuisine such as the pollo loco on the menu, you can just as easily find some more traditional dishes like mole, pozole, or tripe tacos. We cannot recommend it enough.“
