★★★★★ 5.0 Osiel Esquivel · Jan 2026

Here on business and this place did not disappoint. My coworker took us here and it was very good. Huge menu 😋. Every time I opened the menu I changed my mind d on what to get. The house margaritas was also very good.

I had to ask... how long are you guys open??? Because we found them by chance and there were no reviews. Glad we took the chance, because this is the place for Mexican food in Gardendale!!! Absolutely fantastic. Great atmosphere, clean dining area, and friendly service. The fajitas came with a rib that put it over the top. I was a little put off by the "steak"... but it was good and should probably be listed as skirt steak... no biggie, since the flavor was spot on. I would have like to find a couple of local beers on tap, since Birmingham has some great craft beer brewery...but this is a Tex-Mex joint so... you can't have it all. This is the place... don't pass it up!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jorge Antonio · Nov 2025

Was a decent experience and understand the waitstaff was having a rough evening with 2 large parties going on. My order was not what I expected. Ordered a fajita taco salad unaware it does not come with lettuce like other restaurants

★★★☆☆ 3.0 RAFAEL RONDON · May 2021

Fairly good Mexican food. I went with a group of five and they got my plate wrong. Everybody else got their plates right. I felt like my food was cold for my taste. Flavor was good and service was average. Dessert was great.

Stopped in during our travels and was decently impressed. Friendly staff! The chips and salsa were very good, food came out very quickly and was pretty good. My only complaint would be the Margaritas which were lacking flavor and pretty weak. Overall, we were satisfied and would return, but not for Margaritas. 😉
