50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Irondale

“Great food and fast service. I loved the free chips and salsa. I ate way too many of them. My burrito was excellent and the fried ice cream dessert was amazing. It was definitely big enough to share. The service was friendly and the food was very quick. The restaurant filled up while we were there with people waiting to be seated which means it was popular with the locals. Enjoy.“

“We stopped in for lunch,while visiting Trussville, Alabama. The establishment was clean and quite tidy even with the high volume of customers. We did enjoyed a delicious meal. My hubby ordered the Fat boy burrito and I two tacos(cheezy beef and redneck) both are served with chips and salsa. We each enjoyed a refreshingly tasty margarita, a perfect compliment to the meal. The staff was friendly, polite, and attentive to customers. We much appreciated the delicious and relaxing lunch, after our travels.“

“This is probably my absolute favorite restaurant in all of Alabama. Not even remotely joking. It has the best waiters i have ever had the pleasure of meeting...They always get the correct order to you and fast. Everyone works as a team and they will bend over backwards for you to have a great experience. The birthday experience is top notch and a ton of fun. As the birthday boy or girl you get to wear a huge sombrero while you get to eat some fried ice-cream. I highly, highly, highly recommend El Patrons in Trussville.“

“Extremely kind and professional staff. They processed our catering order on short notice. Micah was so kind and respectful. The food was amazing and so delicious. Thank you for making our managers lunch a big success! Pat, St. Martin’s in the Pines“

“I can’t stop eating it!!! #Delicious #Day4OfEatingIt“

“This is my go-to spot, no question.

When I was first looking at places before moving here, I came across this taco truck and it’s been a favorite ever since. If I don’t have much money, want a quick snack, or just need something before dinner I’m coming here.

The chicken tacos are always my go-to, and that green sauce is undefeated. For $3??? You really can’t beat it. It’s basically Taco Tuesday every day here.

The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistent. I also love the location it’s right next to the gas station, so you can grab food and take care of what you need all in one stop.

I was never really a corn tortilla person (I always liked flour), but this place actually got me hooked on corn. That says a lot.
I usually get about 2-4 tacos and I’m good. I come here all the time and they’ve stayed consistent the entire time I’ve lived here.

I did try the street corn once because everyone in line was getting it, but it just wasn’t really for me I’ll stick to my tacos. I do wish they had shrimp tacos though, that would be a game changer.

Overall, I love this place. If you want good tacos and you’re hungry, you really can’t beat $3 tacos.“

“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.“

“First time going 3/8/25. The Food was Great. The atmosphere and staff was super helpful and so nice. We will be Back❤️“

“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.“

“This has quickly become one of my husband's favorite restaurants. The food and drinks are great, the service is fast, and the atmosphere is bright and upbeat. We have recently made this our go to Saturday night spot. We also recommend for kids if you can't find a sitter. Ours love to look at the interior and eat chips and queso.“

“Delicious food - highly recommend the tingas nachos! Will definitely be back the next time we are in Birmingham. Great food and awesome service!“

“Excelentes tacos y a buen precio.“

“Stopped in on trip to Birmingham and were pleasantly surprised at our good luck. The food was nicely presented and delicious. We had combo plates with chicken and it was moist and tender. Chips and salsa was spicy and delicious. Quicamole Mexican was fresh, made with chunks of avocado, onions, tomato, and cilantro. We will be back.“

“Without a doubt the best Sopes around. The tamale was delicious as well. Service was great. Why don't all Mexican restaurants have Sopes? These were fantastic!“

“I really enjoyed the food here. I got chicken enchiladas with rice and beans, and everything was delicious. Only thing was that I didn't like the salsa. It wasn't bad tasting just a little bland, but my fiance said he liked it. Overall I would recommend you give this place a try. We plan to come back to try more dishes in the future“

“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.“

“The service was great! Def recommend America!! She is friendly and sweet. The food came out fast and was very good.“

“Tenía antojos de quesadillas y me fuí para Estela Tacos, ahí siempre te atienden bien y la comida es sabrosa.“
