“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.“
“I think his name was Felix, he was the guy behind the bar and serving tables last night. This guy is absolutely amazing he is what's going to make this company succeed. These people like him and his generosity and courteousness and his kindness, he really was something special and I'm really glad I had the opportunity to run into him“
“Went to a food truck near the Galleria on John Hawkins and was told there was something wrong with the grill but come to find out the girl just didn’t want to cook in the heat for a small order. Well, THANK YOU for turning me away because I discovered this food truck and man is it delicious!! Just Wish it was closer to me. I’d probably be there every other day!!“

“Food is consistently good. The brisket is always fantastic. The service can be a little hit or miss, but never terrible. Parking can be difficult at busy times but it’s in a pretty happening area. Margaritas are fresh squeezed and not made with a mix so they’re pretty tasty. Nice patio area when the weather is nice.“
“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!“
“Nice small authentic Taqueria. It's not a big fancy restaurant, what is honest quality food. Amazing. Great for lunch or a quick husband wife dinner. Casual. They got a wonderful Habanero cream sauce for tacos that gives a little kick but tastes great.“
“It’s nice to walk in, have the menu and you get to order your food, and go to your table. So it’s a different method of placing an order. Food is good, large portions, slightly salty, yet still delicious.Clean location. The outdoors and indoors are open into each other with the large windows opened up. Beautiful location.“
“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.“
“I'm not the kind of guy that likes to eat the same thing twice in a row. I crave variety like it's sold on street corners, so believe it when I tell you this place is special. I've eaten the same dish for dinner twice in a row because it was just too good. (Cabeza burrito)It's got mostly the options you'd expect from a Taco truck, but some that stand out as novel, too. I've had most anything on a Mexican restaurant menu before, but I've never had Tlacoyos before. They look like tacos with the tortillas fried, in the picture; trust me, I'm gonna try them soon. I mean, my girlfriend is the type to call black pepper spicy, and googles the ingredients before they'll eat them, and she STILL got the lengua! Twice!Listen, I mean what is there to dislike about this place other than the parking? As of March 2024, it's situated near Maya, the Mexican restaurant on Oxmoor Rd, off Green Springs, in a lot that gets pretty crowded quick. An hour or less till closing and they're packed, so try to come a little earlier if you want to find parking.They're lightning fast in that truck! I had my burrito in less than 10 minutes, and some of that time was us ordering. Incredible food, very friendly staff, and a mostly convenient location. You're making a terrible mistake if you don't come get you some. ¡Buen provecho!Parking: Parking lot, but it's got a building that's being worked on, so it might look sketchy at first. Trust, it's fine. They are super worth the tight right turn.Kid-friendliness: There's no dining in, so kids are fine if they don't run into the road or something.Wheelchair accessibility: Fairly flat ground, no need for a ramp. The exits from the lot are doable, but they are quite a dip.“
“This was like the fourth taco place I drove to on a Monday night and it was the only one open. I’ve driven by this place a lot and never gotten food here. I’m so glad I did! Service was amazing and fast. I got three tacos for under $10. The flavor was better than the surrounding taco trucks. I will be coming back! Also one of the only places I’ve ever been too that automatically gives you a cactus and onion side that is very unique.“
“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!“
“LOVE ?????? fattest n most SCRUMPTIOUS quesadillas I had in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I overestimated myself, ordered 2 quesadillas, and couldn't finish because they were so big fat juicy ?????????????????????????? words cannot describe my delight...Wheelchair accessibility: Not really wheelchair or mobility disability friendly sadly. Many stairs n not much ramp“
“Everything is fantastic here. It's always a wonderful experience. The food is excellent. I have tried several of their dishes. Nothing disappoints. The staff is all very welcoming, friendly, and courteous. The restaurant is very clean. The drinks are a must try.“
“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“
“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!“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“My husband and I have dined here many times and love the place, so we decided to invite my brother and sister-in-law to celebrate her birthday. It was just excellent!!First, the restaurant is beyond beautiful with the murals, decor, tiny ceiling lights, etc. We started with cocktails - Paloma (I always order this and it's the best in town), Ranch Water and a tequila neat. We shared the Sol y Luna Sampler, which is guacamole & pico de gallo w/ interesting assortment of chips - so fresh and delicious!For dinner, I ordered the grilled salmon w/ garlic mashed potatoes while my brother got the cantina house salad topped w/ grilled salmon. Both were excellent. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a wonderful sear on the outside and so moist inside. My husband and SIL shared the Gambas al Ajillo (the cooked garlic in olive oil w/ red pepper is outstanding!), Shrimp Diabla on a bed of mashed sweet potatoes w/ crispy potatoes, and Red Snapper al Mojo de Ajo w/ shrimp and an amazing tomato & onion sauce and all this came with baskets of bread to soak up all those flavors. As you can see from the pictures, each dish was just beautiful. And, each of them tasted amazing (I was lucky enough to get to sample their dishes). The seafood was not overcooked and each tapa was so unique and flavorful. In addition to the delicious drinks and food, the service was excellent. The hostess made her rounds throughout the night to check on customers and our server took great care of us. The owner, Jorge, was also very attentive, periodically checking on us and helping to make my SIL's birthday very special.So, based on this as well as our previous visits, I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. We will be returning soon!!“
“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..???“
“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 ??“
“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.“
“Taco Mama is always a treat. First time at this location, placed a to-go order that was out in no time, the food was delicious AND the $5 coupon I had just used was back in my bag!!! Thank you Taco Mama Dietary restrictions: Good option for gluten free and vegan“
“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.“
“Food is fresh, seasoned well and great selection. Ordered custom build burrito bowl, number of toppings included is too many to count and 10-12 proteins to choose from. Pineapple margarita was good too. Staff was fantastic! Food was quickly delivered to our table. Highly recommend.“
“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“
“One of the best hidden gems in town. Not many restaurants have birria tacos, but theirs are top tier.Kid-friendliness: Very spacious and accomodating for kidsParking: Tons of parkingWheelchair accessibility: They do have handicap parking and the entrance is easy to get into.Dietary restrictions: They can accommodate just about anyone. Just ask.“
“Picked up lunch to go. Left previous review and need add a detail or two. Chicken tortilla soup was excellent. Could have had a little more steak ?on my steak quesadilla but make no mistake, it was still tasty. As a business owner, I want to know that people feel like they are getting good value for their money. El ZunZun owner answered my review literally in 15 min. On the weekend. THAT is being on top of things. I guess I tend to leave reviews about places I really care about and this is one of them. Food here is consistently good and flavorful and my family loves it.“
“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.“
“Located in a shopping plaza, business is in a good spot. Entrance into the restaurant was clean and free of any debris. They do have an outdoor patio that is cozy and gives you a little view of the main street.We were greeted immediately and informed you to choose your own table. The restaurant was very pristine, floors clean, and Health dept. Rating was 99, and it might as well be 100.Our wait person was so helpful and friendly. Menu offers many selections. But what got my attention was the dessert display counter that held many authentic Mexican desserts. It honestly made my mouth water...lol. Plus, authentic chips are US company brands but are packaged differently in Mexico.The food was great, and the music made me forget how tired I was after hitting retail stores.All in all, it was a great experience and excellent service.Note: I did not check out the restroom this trip, so I can't report on that. But I'm hoping it was as clean as everything else.Vegetarian options: Carefully read menu selections and build your meal with options offered for a vegetarian meal.“
“Ate here with some coworkers, so I'll forgive them for getting my order wrong. The food was pretty good, and the drinks are what you expect. I got their lime margarita during happy hour for a decent price, and I wasn't disappointed. Next time, I'll have to try the strawberry one! ?Parking: Tecate Bar and Grill shares a parking plaza with other businesses nearby.“
“We went here after a friend recommended it and had a great time! The cheese dip with chorizo is a MUST! The Al pastor tacos were also FULL of flavor and were very filling. We would definitely go back! It is a gem but not a hidden one, so make sure you get there early or after the rush on weekends! The Cadillac margarita was a big hit as well as the spicy mango frozen marg. I would definitely go back!“
“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.“
“This place is a gem, it's not the cheapest restaurant in town but is one of the best value for money . They take pride in serving local organic food and will happily tweak dishes to suit your taste, allergies etc. We started with the quiche and a "bit of salad" which included mango, pomegranate, beetroot, peppers, avacado to name but a few. The result was amazing. My main course was strips of tuna served on asparagus with green beans and potatoes topped with a poached egg. I have stopped eating tuna in UK restaurants after some bad meals but this reminded me how good it can be. Being greedy we finished off with the famous chocolate brownie. Looking forward to the next meal there!“
“I love the place. Mexico Lindo steak fajitas are the best in town. The fajitas arrive at the table, steaming with big strips of steak lying on top of the veggies. Unlike most Mexican restaurants, where the streak is chopped into pieces mixed in with the veggies. Everything I have had on their menue is really good. In addition to steak fajitas, the steak burrito is terrific. They have the best salsa. The menue has the best bang for the buck. I highly recommend you give it a try. The only thing missing is fresh lemon as they only have limes.Parking: Depending on the time of day, the parking lot can be pretty full.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to enter the building, and dining is all on one level. There are plenty of seating options with tables and chairs that should accomadeate a wheelchair based on my observations.“
“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 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 was very clean when I walked in, the workers seemed happy with each other and their time on the job as well as very nice to me, and the food was cooked better than almost all the other Taco Bell’s around Bham. KEEP KILLIN IT GUYS!!???“
