Having opened in 2025, El Comal is one of the newest Tex Mex additions to the area. It delivers as…read moreintended, kind people, reasonable prices and large portions. To start, the salsa and chips. Fresh chips are solid, medium thickness. The salsa is extremely salty and does not taste as if it was made recently. Not a favorite. The steak fajitas is loaded with a substantial amount of beef, which is a wonderfully sized portion for the $14 that it costs in 2026, but the meat is not of good quality taste wise and very tough. The sides are all fairly good, except the guacamole, which is almost tasteless and of weird watered down pale green color, likely batch pre-made and preserved with an additive of lime juice. The ladies working here are wonderful, both attentive and kind. Interior is a nice conversion from the Italian restaurant Gino's which used to be in this space for close to a decade. As a whole, El Comal is probably not a place to run back to, but might be worth trying for some of the other dishes aside from steak fajitas.

What sold me on picking this place for Monday lunch: fiesta plates. Automatically feels like I'm at…read morehome... because I have the same plates at home. This is one of your classic, casual, sit-down Mexican restaurants. They have everything you would expect to see on their menu. Classic refried beans and spanish rice to accompany everything. I applaud them for their extensive lunch menu. Oftentimes you cannot order a fajita off of the lunch menu. Service was quick. I think we were the only people in here. I imagine when kids hockey games get out at the rink across the street, this place fills up. I have the lunch steak fajitas and it hit the spot. No complaints, exactly what I expected. Chips and salsa were satisfactory, too. I enjoyed a nice, big diet coke and was offered a to-go cup as well. That might be my favorite phrase in Spanish: "diet coke, para llevar."

My favorite Mexican restaurant. Been on a Taco cruise…read morelately, ran upon them years ago. Loved the El Pastor. Today made the special trip for tacos. The soft shell beef is good, the tortilla held together:) Tried the Sopes with chicken, I think am in love. Great corn tortilla, chicken done right, creamy salsa so good. I might substitute my tacos for Sopes. Can't Finnish without mentioning the famous bowls of bean soup. I'll travel just for the bean soup. A nice homey, comfortable place with good service.

The building is not fancy but the interior is nice and clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. They started with bean soup for everyone in lieu of chips and we all enjoyed that. I can highly recommend the chimichangas. The chicken was beautiful and it was cooked perfectly. It's about a 30 min drive from my house and I will be returning.

After checking out the menu I really wanted the 12 oz ribeye so that's what I ordered. Instead, I got a flank steak that I wouldn't even feed my dog and was still charged the ribeye prices. Someone in my party ordered the same ribeye, I thought maybe our orders got mixed up but they too got the same flank steak. I did not finish the steak due to a weird smell it had and my stomach is already hurting. All prices are unnecessarily high and I will not be back. Not suitable for parties of 6 or more was charged an extra $10 just for that sole reason. I would understand this policy better if it was a large and busy restaurant. Tortillas were delicious and homemade.

The girl that was eventually my server was on her phone the entire time before coming to take my order. I ordered the mojarra frita dish. The fish was bland and flavorless.

The ambiance is your typical Mexican restaurant vibe. I will never return back here. First time & last time!!!!! Yuck & complete waste of my money and time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fyi the first order of chips and salsa is complimentary. Not sure what the fee is after the first order.

Hands-Down the Best Mexican in Birmingham! After locals kept…read moresteering me toward disappointing spots, I finally discovered Acapulco on my own and I've been hooked ever since. It's the clear winner for overall Mexican food in the area. Their birria tacos are phenomenal, the drinks are delicious and refreshing, and the sauces actually have real flavor, none of that overly thick, bland stuff you get everywhere else. They nail the meat every time: perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned so well you don't get any of that "gamey" or off taste some places have. It's consistently solid across the board. They also have kind workers and the ambiance overall is good. Spacious enough for some privacy although I don't like some of their seating chairs...the benches that are connected between you and someone else behind you. A few times I had customers behind me moving a whole lot and it wasn't very pleasant. Honorable mention for tacos specifically: Mezon food truck (another gem I had to find independently). Lesson learned the hard way, don't trust most Birmingham recommendations; they've let me down too many times. Acapulco is worth every visit.

This is my second time getting them in less than 24 hours which should tell you a lot. Taqueria Los Dos Compadres is a hidden gem because I always typically go to a different Mexican Restaurant located across the street. This spot is rarely busy and I am surprised because the customer service is great! As soon as I walked in I was quickly greeted and sat. Our food came out perfect and hot every one was so friendly and the ambiance was great too!! Overall I will be a regular at this spot 10/10!
