We’ve been eating at LaPaz since 1993 when we attended Birmingham Southern College. Every time we travel back to Birmingham, we can’t wait to eat at LaPaz. It has always been nothing but exceptional. Tonight, Valentine’s, we met our son and his fiancé there for dinner. We had to ask the guy cleaning a table next to us to find our waiter after waiting 12 minutes with no attention. A girl who let us know she was not our waiter came and took our drink and appetizer order. Later, we had to waive her down and ask if she could take our food order. Our food came out fast and she made sure we had everything we needed. But….after that no one checked on us again. We sat with dirty plates, had no water refills, or had anyone ask us us if we wanted anything else. Finally, after 30 minutes being done eating, we flagged her down so we could get our check. The guy who was our actual waiter (with a horrible attitude) dropped our check on the table without a word or even clearing a single plate off our table. The food was amazing, but the “lack” of service ruined it!!

La Paz is one of my go-to spots because they have my favorite guacamole. Always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made! The California quesadilla with black beans and goat cheese is absolutely delicious, with a great balance of creamy and savory flavors. Simple, satisfying, and good. Service can be inconsistent but they are always friendly. Definitely a family restaurant which can make it loud.

One of the best in town! Obviously the salsa and queso are favorites for a reason. I've had queso delivered half an hour away because it's so good! Love some La Paz!!

The service was great. Taste wise the best thing we had was the queso. However the drinks are so good you have to try the TX and the Fruit margaritas 🍹 😋
SO DANG GOOD!!! The people are incredible. The food made my soul happy. I'll be back and send all my friends!

Simply the best. I ate here after sports growing up. My mom and I had a waiter there who was the spitting image of Jim Carrey. So many memories of this place. My Paris born son looks forward to the cheese dip every time we come to Birmingham and we brought his French best friend here last week. He, of course, loved it too! We had a lovely Mexican waiter who was so nice to the boys! Thank you La Paz for staying the same. Please don’t ever change. You are an institution.

Been going here for 20+ years. Really love the food. Worst service I’ve ever had here the other day, and family members reported the same within the same week. In between lunch and dinner: ran out of salsa and chips when we still had cheese dip. Asked person who brought us our food for more, were told we’d have to ask our server. He sure didn’t tell her we asked, because she wasn’t seen for 10 minutes. Never offered a drink refill. Waited 15 minutes for check.
