Our waitress was lovely and made it worth while. The buss boy was extremely rude to my husband when trying to lower our umbrella at the table. Very unnecessary comments. Next day my husband and I end up with food poisoning so we certainly won’t be back to eat here. Also the food is way overpriced for what you get. You’re better off going to an authentic Mexican restaurant where food is cooked property and priced way better!

The food took over two hours to come out - there were only five of us. Drinks were messed up - alcoholic and non. Liquor was left out of my margarita. They forgot dessert. I’m highly allergic to fish and they brought only chips, fried in the fish fryer. I told two waiters of my fish allergy. It went over their heads.
For a Wednesday night, it was absolutely understaffed.
I give it a 3.8/10.
They even forgot my twins’ and I birthday treat. That made us very sad.
Wouldn’t eat there again, even for free.
I give it 15 months before it closes for good. That’d be a very good idea.

The food is pretty good, and it has a nice big selection. Obviously, not authentic Mexican, more so white people Mexican, but that hits the spot, too when all you wanna do is gossip and have chips and a margarita. Only reason I don't give it the full 5 stars is because I think it's a bit overpriced for the rest of the menu, but the vibes are great.

Great little spot to have a mexican dish or a drink. Would be nice to watch some soccer ⚽️ while we wait for the food but other than that it was worth the wait.

It's was a nice looking place in a good location on the corner. The food was not very good, but my wife had the shrimp tacos and she loves them. Also she doesn't like authenticate mexican food where I do so thay might have been the difference.

Stopped in for a business lunch at Alma Mexicana (party of 5) and unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark. While the atmosphere was pleasant and the staff friendly, the service was slow—it took over 45 minutes from the time we ordered to when the food finally arrived. That’s a tough wait when you're on a schedule.
I tried the fajitas, but wouldn’t recommend them. The chicken was shredded, and there has very (very) little beef and it was was finely diced, which made the dish feel underwhelming overall. The guac was appreciated for the long wait.
Might be worth a visit for a casual dinner, but for a timely and satisfying lunch, I’d look elsewhere.

Ordered Delmonico steak medium rare and medium, both came out beyond well done and burnt. I would avoid the steak or go somewhere else for red meat.
Rest of the experience was fantastic! Everyone else loved their meals

Server was super pleasant and knowledgeable of the dishes on the menu. He was patient with our party of 7 and ensured we had a great experience all the way down to the specifics of how our checks needed to be printed for reporting purposes.
Pineapple habanero margarita AWESOME Shrimp tacos the best. Shrimp lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. Jonah B super server / waitress

The atmosphere is lively, especially if you are sitting outside on a nice day. We had good service when we went, which was at a pretty busy time on Saturday night. However the food leaves a little to be desired. I will say the spicy margarita is good because it's loaded with fresh jalapenos.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely loved my experience at Alma!
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I ordered a spicy jalapeño margarita with a chili salt rim, and it was hands down one of the best cocktails I’ve had in Winston-Salem — perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat.
The food was just as impressive. I had a delicious bowl full of flavor, topped off with some Valentina hot sauce for the perfect kick. Fresh ingredients, bold seasoning, and generous portions made it a standout meal.
The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. The whole place had a great vibe — perfect for catching up with friends or just treating yourself to a solid night out.
Definitely planning to come back soon. Alma is a gem in Winston-Salem!
