    Blueberry cheesecake
    Ben S.

    I'm in Alabama at least 3 times a month sometimes. And when I'm close to here I always come to get food. The band that I'm in went here during the 2025 SEC Championship game and it wasn't busy at all. The bartenders and servers are all very nice and welcoming. We had a pretty large party but they took our drink and food orders and had the food out within 20 minutes. It's a very local feel to the place, which adds to its charm. I ordered the spicy red curry coconut chicken bowl, a great fit for the colder weather that day. And I also ordered the cheesecake they had which was the only thing I could get a picture of because I was so hungry. A must if you're in the area.

    Duck taco and pork taco with applesauce
    Sophie Jane K.

    The duck taco was my favorite. It was sweet and delicious. The pork taco was good too, but not as good as the duck. My mom got the pork soup, it was a little bit spicy but not too spicy. She is gluten free and they were able to substitute the noodles for gluten free glass noodles. The soup was huge and we had leftovers for two meals when we got home. The service was good, but they were very busy so it took a while. We went for lunch and watched the auburn game there. Good ambiance for a gameday. We were nervous that we would have to wait for a table on a beautiful Saturday but they had so many tables that we were seated right away.

    Great food. But pricey. Cost me $27 for one this is including tip. Service was great. It was a great treat for myself. :)

    Beef taco and Oyster taco
    Harrell B.

    Good folks of Daphne, have you been to this fine establishment? These local folks are doing something special over here! When you walk in, you get this neighborhood tavern/bar vibe, but the food here is out of control good. Someone carefully selected a nice well crafted wine list, unique craft cocktails and an extensive beer list are available here. The menu features an unique offering of tacos and broth and rice bowls. I had the steak taco and an oyster taco. Both were two of the better tacos I've ever eaten. The steak taco was overfilled with a delightful diced steak and the oyster taco, oh my, what a sublime delight. The chrispy, velvety fried oyster is beautifully complimented with a tangy slaw. I must say, that oyster taco as simple as it was, was one of the best things I've ever eaten; and folks, I've eaten a lot. My wife had a curry chicken noodle bowl. I've never been a big curry fan, I spent 8 weeks in India in my youth, but this dish was fabulous. I really can't over compliment the food here. Our server was very kind and welcoming. He did a great job explaining the menu. Really a great experience.

    The food and drinks here are so, so, so delicious! The last bowl I had wasn't so great, as if the basmati rice had been burnt so the entire bowl tasted burnt. But this last visit, my bowl was superb! Before I had the Elizabeth Swann drink, and last night I had the Four Sheets cocktail and just a rum + sprite cocktail. Both were delicious! The tacos I had before were so good, and I look forward to coming back to try more/different ones. My friends loved their Spicy Curry Coconut bowls. Such a fun atmosphere, and the service has always been great. Love this place!

    Great service, delicious food, and amazing atmosphere! If you're looking for a new place to try I definitely recommend giving Dragonfly Tavern a shot. The food is seasoned really well. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu! It took our group of five about an hour to order and eat out food. This is a second location for Dragonfly Foodbar in Fairhope, Al. You can check their Facebook page for any specials they may have as well :) Will definitely be back!

    Alice cocktail
    Jennifer D.

    Heard great things about this place, but was not expecting Asian fusion taco cuisine. The cocktails for the Fall/Winter 2023 season were Alice in Wonderland themed. Everything I tried was extremely good! For the drink I had the Alice. Also, tried the turnip fries for the appetizer. Then the Main Street taco (beef) and shrimp taco. So delicious! There was a specials menu that listed other tacos and they had gelato and cheesecake. I didn't have time to try it but I'm sure I would have loved the pumpkin spice gelato. Service was also very fast and friendly.

However, were we're very pleasantly surprised to find that the new ownership, a Jamaican woman is also gluten free and fully intends to expand GF options to include GF onion rings on the appetizer list. She is currently deciding which menu items will be replaced with more requested items. The new owner is a friendly, warm person with a feel for greeting and making diners feel welcome. We were greatly relieved that she has great Jamaican recipes that will add to the otherwise seafood specialties. My wife has been GF for several years and has been unable to enjoy most fried foods including seafood due to wheat flour. However, we were able to enjoy a wonderful GF fried seafood platter and only the hush puppies were not GF. We also had the delicious crab bisque that is also GF. I am fortunate to NOT be allergic to anything so I was treated to a delicious chocolate truffle that is absolutely the best. This delicacy will soon be available GF. If you are looking for a coastal restaurant with GF options in the Mobile or Daphne causeway area, you should try the Elite Pierhouse restaurant. You won't be dissatisfied. Great food, spectacular views and really good service with moderate prices. Not fast food, but really great southern seafood with Jamaican flare.

Is it a sports bar? Is it a wine-liquor bar? The jukebox on the wall kind of threw us for a loop as it loudly played tons of country, sometimes repeating songs, then R&B. Decor was pretty in its colors, but once there it screamed "look upscale at cheapest options possible". Tables are laminate, floors appear laminate, but the bathrooms appear to be of higher quality options. Certain drink ingredients requested weren't available. (The server didn't know what allspice dram was; the bartender didn't even know what allspice dram was, let alone have it.) A friend requested a particular tequila, but they don't have it. He then requested a particular mezcal, and the server suggested something else. I sought out two particular Cabernet Sauvignon wines, but they don't have either of those either. I ordered an Old Fashioned made with rum instead of whiskey. I was disappointed with how sweet the drink was. After watching the bartender it's as if she's not pouring to the top of the jigger, indicating under-pouring. Maybe because "it's messy" to pour it complete. So I ordered a margarita next, thinking it's harder to mess that up-- if it wasn't great, then that tells me a lot about this place. The margarita was soooo heavy on mixer/lime juice. I don't know that I'll want to come back for cocktails. The menu and execution were both underwhelming. But hey, the decor is kind of pretty... Again, it is nicer than other options around town, but it isn't what we expected compared to what we're used to. When you sell yourself as "upscale," customers expect upscale.

    Get comfortable...it's gonna be a while!…read more After my third visit, figured I had given it plenty of chances. The ambiance is great, cool set up and comfortable chairs (and you're gonna need them for the service time). Even with staff admitted "slow night," very slow service. Servers often seen on their phones rather than checking to see if another round was needed. Let down because this place could be a slam dunk. When I've eaten the food it's been good, but pricey. There's also a VIP section with sofas and chairs but a sign listed it as $50/person.

The ambiance is nice and cozy. But we always sat in a booth. Sitting at a table indoors next to the back door, I looked around in confusion. At first it felt like someone kicking the back of the seat like on a flight. But then I was trying to move the table and check the chairs, maybe it was an earthquake from the New Madrid fault line. But like a typical NOLA raised home, it was just a hard floor and heavy footsteps. I'll know better next time. But Sundays from 12-3pm is the time to be there. Having to wait for parking was about the hardest part.

Our waitress friendly and bubbly was there quickly to take our drink order. She checked on us frequenly. We started with the Boudreaux's egg rolls, they were awesome great texture crispy outside and soft avacado inside with a lot of flavor and great dipping sauce. Next I had the shrimp creole, with a substitute of side for gumbo. Both were very tasty and prepared perfectly, she had the black and bleu salad, the steak was very tasty and bleu cheese, well its bleu cheese and good bleu cheese. Last, we ordered an order of beignet's they were pretty good, a little on the heavy / dense side. The place was a little on the quiet side tonight despite the dining area being pretty full. One thing worth noting, we have noticed on our last two visits here the servers not clearing plates from the table when a persons is obviously finished eating either by the plate being pushed to the side or the universal silverware placement indicating, I am done eating. This time I had to ask her to clear the table before she brought anything else to the table. She was happy to do it, so maybe this timely removal of plates is not obvious, nor has it been explained/ taught by anyone. Service is important, this falls under the basics, if you are headed to the kitchen, do not go empty handed. Just a thought to improve the level of service. We will return.

A party of 30-35 people all still in full wedding attire flooded in around the same time, and the staff handled everything with incredible grace and expertise. Not a single order was messed up, and every guest was taken care of beautifully. The team that night Noel, Bella, Natalie, Sadie, and Brigs was outstanding. They truly felt like a local extension of our family. Beyond serving delicious tacos and making sure everyone was happy, they went above and beyond: signing our wedding cards with the sweetest, most thoughtful notes, and even snapping photos of the wedding party to capture those special moments. It was truly phenomenal and made the night even more memorable. We've loved Taco Mama for years and have never had a bad experience here. If there's ever been the tiniest issue (which is rare), the managers and team are immaculately on point in rectifying it right away. Brigs and the other managers worked out all the logistics with us ahead of time, making the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for fresh, tasty food in a fun atmosphere or need a spot that can handle a big group like a wedding party with warmth and professionalism Taco Mama Daphne is the place. We can't recommend them enough! Thank you to the entire team for making our special night unforgettable.
