El Rancho Cantina & Grill is a great restaurant located in a rather nondescript shopping plaza…read more Walking in, the restaurant is a lot larger than I thought it would be from the outside. I was quickly seated and my server came over with a complimentary bowl of chips and salsa. I have to say that I found the salsa a bit lackluster, but that was the only negative (and really a slight negative) of my meal. I went with their carnitas and they were absolutely phenomenal. Tender and tasty, they were really incredible and I would definitely recommend their carnitas. My server was also friendly and professional. If you are in the area, I definitely would recommend El Rancho Cantina & Grii.

First off, the menu is AI and has little to no description of the food items or protein options for…read morethe meals, they don't have a drink menu. All of the staff was standing at the bar staring when we walked in not very welcoming. The owner seemed to be a few drinks in with some very intoxicated customers. And when it comes to the food if I could give it negative stars I would, I ordered a steak chile relleno (doesn't even say what kind of meat is in it on the menu and the waitress was clueless) when it came out I was shocked to see that it looked like a literal omelette, no joke. Folded egg over an undercooked chile stuffed with 1lbs of cheese and just steak, no fajita vegetables nothing but TONS of cheese and some dry steak. This was the worst restaurant I've tried in a while, save your money do not go here

I'm super glad my visit went excellent yesterday. Our server was our personal favorite because he's…read morebeen there a long time, he's friendly to anyone, and he does a damn good job. Why he got tipped $40.00 ! We appreciate good service ! They have new menus and a drink list now. My husband and son both got new dishes -El Pastor tacos (they were really good) and my son got birrara tacos . I got combination 3 which was also excellent. Our drinks were good and We even got flan for dessert (It's hard finding flan anywhere discounting a grocery store) Las Mesas has always had great food . It was just the service that was lacking. It seems they hired new waiters who were on point and friendly! So glad I can visit you again. I would have taken pics but I just came b from Biloxi so We were hungry ! I'll have to come again to posts pics!

The inside is very festive, colorful, yet a little dark on the lighting. The music is louder than expected and you need to talk loud when holding a conversation sometimes. But still love it here.

Dinner was served quickly and food was hot. Never disappointed with this place!

I have sat down multiple times to write this review and I've deleted it because I can't seem to…read morefully express how amazing this business and these owners truly are. My family and I visited this restaurant after my doctors appointment a couple of weeks ago, we are not from the area we actually live in Gadsden so it was our first time trying this restaurant. Let me just start out with this the food was absolutely delicious. I don't have much of an appetite these days and I. An honestly say I finished almost all of my food and ate until I was stuffed and that isn't something that happens very often. Each member of my family was happy with their food and was already planning out what they would order when we come back after my next appointment . I just opened a Farm Stand in our home town and while we were sitting and eating I spotted a mixer that was sitting off to the side with some other supplies. If you know anything about industrial mixers they are far from cheap I had been looking at a few in the $500 range so I thought I would just check. I asked the guy upfront if he could ask the owner if it was for sale and if so how much he was asking. The owner came and spoke to us and I quickly realized that the mixer he had was way more expensive than the ones I had been looking at and I told him I was sorry that I couldn't even give him a fair price after looking up the kind he had . He looked at us and gave me a price that was astonishing to say the least , but I still didn't have that much at the moment. He told me to give him what I could and then pay him later when I had it for the rest. This is a man who has never met me he had no reason to help me besides just being kind. When you hear this man talk about helping others and community he means it, it's not just talk to make him sound good. I left his restaurant that day with a mixer that was several thousands of dollars. So I say all of that to say this Alabaster and surrounding areas yall are truly blessed to have a business that not only has amazing food but has amazing people who truly care about others, and from personal experience I can tell you they don't have to have known you for years to treat you like family. We will be making this restaurant part of our stop each time we come through. Thank you again for blessing me I can't tell you how much it has ment!

We visited the Valle Grande Mexican restaurant in Clanton Alabama today for lunch. This was our…read morefirst visit and let me say we were not disappointed. The restaurant itself was exceptionally clean, and the theme was awesome. We were seated at once by friendly staff and were given fresh salsa upon seating. Our server (Reynaldo) was top notch. He was super friendly and helpful with menu items. He took our drink order and returned for our order. We barely had enough time to down a few chips and salsa when our food arrived at our table. Prior to leaving our table, Reynaldo ensured that our order was correct and asked if we needed anything else or had any questions. I order the lunch Mexican tacos with the birria meat. As you can tell by my photos, I couldn't wait to dig into my lunch before I remembered to take a picture. The tacos were perfect, and they were on corn tortillas with sides of habanero and tomatillo sauces. Even though it is a little bit of a drive from where I live, we'll be back to try other dishes. *The menu photos was taken from the restaurant Facebook page*
