I saw the great reviews of this place, especially for the birria tacos, which are one of my…read morefavorite dishes, and knew I wanted to try it out. This restaurant started as a food truck but saw enough success that it's now opened two brick and mortar locations, one in Decatur and the other in Priceville, so that seemed like a good indicator. I went for a late lunch after work around 2 PM a few weeks ago. The restaurant has a small, slightly bumpy/torn up parking lot and a curiously large step up into the restaurant -- watch your footing, as I almost fell forward trying to walk inside. The restaurant is small. You enter and are greeted by a nice bar area; go down the hall and it has maybe 5 tables at the end, along with restrooms. It did take me a while for anyone to offer me seating. It seemed like only one person was waiting tables. Though he made eye contact with me a few times from the serving area down the hall, he didn't acknowledge me until I walked down the hall to look around and see if anyone was available to help me. He then asked if I had a carryout order (I think -- pretty limited English on his part and even more limited Spanish on mine), and I said no but that I'd like to sit and eat. After that, he promptly seated me and took my drink order. Chips and salsa came out after that, and my food order and eventual check were timely, though I'd never really describe his demeanor as particularly friendly. Not the end of the world, but I wish I'd felt more welcome. The chips were solid - warm and fresh - but the salsa wasn't especially flavorful but for a strong cilantro vibe. I was starving, though, so I munched happily enough until my order arrived. I got the quesabirria combo, which comes with two quesabirria tacos and rice and beans. These tacos tend to be filling and many combos elsewhere come with three; personally, I think two is plenty, though I'd say the price is a little higher here than comparable spots I've tried. The rice and beans were exactly average...or, they averaged out to average, lol. Rice slightly below average (low flavor, a few slightly undercooked/crunchy bits), beans slightly above (pleasantly smoky), and so on and so forth. I was primarily here for the main event: birria tacos. And unfortunately, despite the rave reviews I read, I thought these were really disappointing. They didn't skimp on meat, at least, but...despite being generously portioned, the meat didn't have a ton of flavor. It was a little chewier than the silky, melting beef I've had at other places. But the worst part was they were overwhelmingly - OVERWHELMINGLY - greasy. Don't get me wrong, birria is by nature a rich dish and I wasn't expecting to get up and skip away home after a light meal, but... It was so greasy that the taco shells, which are usually pleasantly crispy after grilling, were for the most part sopping wet, even on my first bite. Every time I picked a taco up, fatty juices/grease spilled from the edges. And when I squeezed, a stream practically ran onto the plate. You'd think at least with this much fat/grease they'd be more flavorful, but they really were not a flavor bomb. They weren't inedible, but I must admit I left feeling disappointed and having not adequately fulfilled my craving. I know there are lots of well-regarded Mexican spots in Decatur, so I suppose I'll keep trying. Hopefully, I came on an off day. I wish this restaurant the best and I hope their success continues; even though it was not for me on this visit, it's clearly popular with others.

I just wish they had a location closer to Madison! Stop wasting money on those fancy-looking places like Rosie's...if you want real, authentic (non-Tex-Mex) Mexican food, Mi Mexico is where you go.

I'm so glad I ordered those to go! I can't wait to come back and try everything else on the menu. The pineapple Agua Fresca was soo yummy as well as the two salsas that were served. I was greeted with a smile and asked if I had a to go order or if I'm eating in. The waitress was very attentive and friendly.

I entered the supermarket and saw a crudely made sign that said taqueria and entered a hallway with another sign that said taqueria with an arrow pointing me further down the hall. It led me to a simple room with a few tables and a smiling woman sitting at a cash register. The room was a bit spartan, but I always have said that the best Mexican food comes from these humble little mom-and-pop type places and not some plave heavy on atmosphere and ambiance. This place had cheap tables, but pleasant (though cheap) prints hanging on the wall. I took a menu and found a table. The woman came and with the same pleasant smile, she said she spoke very little English. I smiled and said I spoke very little Spanish. I was able to order with no problem by pointing at the menu. I ended up ordering five tacos. I ordered chorizo, asada, carnitas, cabeza and barbacoa. They brought me very good bean dip and tortilla chips to start with. The tacos were very good, as well. They brought a red sauce and green sauce with the tacos and both were good, though the green was pretty impressive. All in all, this was a great experience and if you find yourself in Decatur, Alabama, I would definitely recommend here.

It's located in an old Pizza Hut and still has that feel despite the change in decor. I judge a Mexican restaurant by the chips and salsa. Tio's hit the mark. The salsa had a nice kick and was flavorful. The first basket of chips were ok, maybe a little stale and not warm but the second basket was really good. Try the chorizo cheese dip-delicious! Nice cheese flavor and a little spicy with the chorizo. Let me tell you about the chicken fajitas! The chicken was perfectly cooked- it was not dried out or tough. It was tender, had good flavor. I can't think of better chicken fajitas I have ever had. The warmed tortilla's were not sticky at all- perfectly warmed. I dont normally eat fajitas put together because the tortillas are usually tough but these were great! I ordered a beer and the frosty mug made it all the better. All in all, I wish Tio Juan's was located where I lived. I'd be there weekly. Perfect Mexican for me.

After relocating from New Mexico two years ago, we've tried place after place hoping to find something that actually hits the mark... and Taqueria Luna is finally it. Every single bite was on point. Not just the main dishes--the rice and beans were legit, which says a lot. The birria tacos were rich and flavorful with that perfect savory depth, and the asada quesadilla was packed with well-seasoned meat and cooked exactly right. And the mulitas? Honestly, they reminded me so much of pupusas--thick, satisfying, and just ridiculously good. And the consommé... omg. That alone is worth going back for. Rich, deeply seasoned, and perfect for dipping--exactly how it should be. If you've been missing that true Southwest flavor, this is where you go.

The service was really fast. I forgot to get the actual "mexican" name for the dishes we had. So here goes... I had Carne asada with bacon, peppers and onions. It was really delicious. It came with beans, rice and flour tortillas. My husband had steak, chicken and shrimp fajitas. This is why I gave 4 stars...it comes with chorizo but he didn't want that. He wanted the chorizo replaced with chicken. The waitress confirmed several times what he wanted. He also doesn't like rice, so he always gets no rice, extra beans. When he got his meal it had chorizo and he got rice and beans. We sent it back to get the chicken instead. We didnt send the rice back, my daughter ate it. His food was very tasty and came out sizzling. The steak was tender and cooked just right. My daughter had the birria tacos. She got 3 tacos, with dipping sauce. No beans or rice. They were also delicious. We finished our meal with fried ice cream and it didn't disappoint. Itw was crispy on the outside and frozen in the middle. It was served in a fried flour tortilla with caramel, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. It was big enough for all of us to share. We will definitely go back when we are in the area. The food was delicious but just a little disappointed that she didnt get the order right.
