We haven't eaten at El Cazador in a while but the food was very good last night. The salsa was delicious. My husband's margarita was excellent. read more

Ate for lunch, food was good temp inside was on warm side but it was very outside. Service was good and friendly

The staff is always going above and beyond! All the food I've had there has been 10/10! Very nice restaurant! Located in downtown Pell city!

The food tasted just like it smells outside around the court house delicious recommend it all the way

I was in Pell city and looking for some good Mexican. My friend recommended this place and it was very delicious. It used to be an old Rexall pharmacy. It's in the heart of downtown Pell city it's very quaint and cute. I started off with a frozen peach margarita which was very delicious. I got the medium, which was a good size. It was pretty strong which was a good thing. We also got the large cheese dip. It was a little on the spicy side, but then again I don't usually eat anything spicy. The chips and salsa were good. I had to put a little sugar in the salsa to make it a little less spicy. Chicken chimichanga with black beans and rice and it was very delicious. The chicken was shredded. The server was very attentive. She made sure that our waters were filled, and that we didn't need anything. This is located right next to thePell city courthouse I would definitely recommend coming here if you haven't been yet. read more

We have lived here in Pell City for 9 years. El Cazador is the only restaurant we have come back to again and again. The service is always great and the food is great. One of the waiters, Elio, is always fantastic every time we have one of his tables. read more

Great spot downtown Pell City. I always judge a Mexican restaurant by two things; the salsa and the margaritas. They are both very plausible. read more

El Cazador - Great spot downtown Pell City, gets busy in a Friday night. Salsa is phenomenal, margys are a delight. Try the Los Compadres. - Mexican Near Me - Pell City, Alabama

El Cazador - This was my lunch seasoned to perfection! - Mexican Near Me - Pell City, Alabama

This restaurant has reasonable prices but after more than approximately 8 times eating here either lunch or dinner, we have decided to give it up. Definitely nothing is invested in making the outside even remotely attractive, the food taste, as well as temperature is inconsistent and most of the time has very little taste. Actually the food Taste as if no "love" (care and seasoning) goes into cooking their meats. Well, I know everyone has their own taste and I wish them well, however this restaurant needs more love and attention by the owners. read more

I picked this place based on all the reviews. I'm traveling in from Colorado and love some good Mexican food. It was a pretty busy Friday night so I sat at the bar as I usually do. I ordered simply, an à la carte chimichanga with shredded beef. It looked simple when it came out, and I didn't expect a cheese sauce , but that sauce was excellent and the shredded beef inside was perfectly cooked. They don't skimp on the meat. If I could critique anything it would be that I would've liked the tortilla a little more crispy, but I am full and happy nonetheless. read more

Good food with an open atmosphere in a small town in Alabama. The food was good and the service was quick. The day I was there the place was very smoky due to a ventilation fan going out and the smoke alarms were going off. They eventually got that under control and no other issues. read more

Food was great! Prepared and served quickly. Waitress was very preoccupied, had to wait on speciality drinks when they were not that busy.

This location (Pell City) of El Cazador is always very quick and the staff is super friendly. It's pretty standard tex-mex food, but consistent and a great option in the Pell City area (where I work). I'm a little spoiled with the Mexican restaurant options living in Birmingham, but this is certainly a solid choice for basic tex Mex. Lunch prices are unbelievably affordable! There is a small menu posted on each table that has a handful of lunch offerings for only $4-a lunch price that is unheard of! Most of the lunch options on the full menu are $6-$7; great prices! I'm a fan of the chicken soup, a broth-based soup with rice chicken breast topped with pico de gallo and avocado slices, as well as the pollo parilla, a grilled chicken breast covered with cheese sauce, served with rice and beans and guacamole salad. The margaritas are also decent and there tend to be weeknight specials! read more

El Cazador - Pollo y Cameron - Mexican Near Me - Pell City, Alabama

To avoid being a "karen" I've saved this review for a time when I can counteract it with several positive reviews. I stopped in for lunch with a friend. We each placed our order and asked for a margarita and ice water. Salsa was very hot and delicious, but the waitress did not bring the water. My margarita wasn't mixed well, it was awful, it tasted like something from a can. I took one sip and asked the waitress if I could send it back, it wasn't what I thought. Ok, we all have bad days, and I'm going to assume that this was a rough day for this server, but it wasn't busy, I had one tiny sip of the cocktail, and asked if I could send it back. SHE FLIPPED OUT! The glaring, the actual seething, and then she said "I can pour some of it out and add Sprite or water" I said no, please remove it from our tab, and she was absolutely livid. Still no water. Complete tension. It was awkward. My friend wanted additional ice in her cocktail but decided not to ask since this waitress was visibly peeved. The food came out quickly, the prices were fair, to top everything off I got something other than what I had ordered. This server was so angry I just ate it. It was OK. Never got my water. read more

Been by during lunch. Decent food mess my order up once they did correct the issue. But the food is good for the price. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Yum. Their cheese sauce is the bomb. The chips are nice and light and not too greasy. The chili relleno was delicious. The tacos were just ok, needed a bit more seasoning to the meat. Their salsa is quite good and tastes fresh. The chimichanga was great. The burrito was sort of like the taco, just meh. But really good prices and a lot of food. We definitely had leftovers. read more

It was great food. Simple but effective service. We had enchiladas and the chili rellenos along with a cheese dip and margarita. We come to this area periodically and will be back! It might be better than our fav little mex place at home! read more

This is literally the best food I have ever had. The customer service was on point and could teach this country manners LOL. Seriously you will not regret choosing this place!! I ordered the quesadilla, rice & beans. My husband ordered the burrito, enchilada, and chile relleno (sp). It was the BEST!! I wish I could take this place home with me! read more

We have come to claim this as our "go to" place for Mexican. The food quality is just better than the other Mexican restaurants in the area. The margaritas are the best around - bar none. The normal queso and guacamole dips are good. We generally get good service. There is one waitress that requires a little more reminding and prodding to get what you've asked for. She is easily distracted and will forget your request by the time she gets back to the kitchen. By and large, the experience is generally positive. read more

Never had a bad experience here. Food is always fresh, staff is very nice, and margaritas are always stiff. Lol

Their food is gross and the temperature is crazy and the prices for these bad food is horrible.

Good Mexican food, friendly service and extensive selection of Mexican beers. This restaurant is located in downtown, a little off the main highway and the national food chains. It's inside an old drugstore and the drugstore signs are still up. So you might be standing in front of it and not see it. Extensive menu of Mexican dishes. I had the Chili Rellenos and they were the best I've had outside of the Mexican restaurants in Texas. My entrée was served with Mexican rice and black beans. The salsa is nice and spicy. It looked like they have a regular crowd of local patrons. Prices were reasonable. Given the opportunity I will go back. read more

Fast friendly service and delicious food. We had fajitas and they were loaded with meat!

Pretty standard Mexican food, cheese dip is amazing though! Inside of restaurant needs to be updated, staff could be friendly.

This place is worth getting off of I-20 for! Great food, great service, great drinks AND very reasonably priced. We have been driving from Texas to Georgia and found this place in yelp. It was a great experience! read more

Best Mexican Restaurant in town! My husband and I moved here last year but until last week we had yet to eat at El Cazador. We were wanting something different for dinner and decided to drive to downtown to give them a chance, we were not disappointed! The fajitas are FANTASTIC! Service is excellent! This is hands down one of our favorite places in town now! read more

So I was looking for a different place than the standard chain. I saw this place with great reviews and thought, great I'm in. My wife and I were not disappointed! I had the best Chili Relleno's ever. Ever! If your in Pell City, go downtown and have s great meal at this little gem. read more

Slow service. Bland food. Will not come here again. No no no no. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. No flavor

Love this place! The Queso is the best I've ever had! Just enough kick with some jalapeño, but not milky like some other places I've been too. I will definitely become a regular! read more

We have been twice now and the food is pretty good but the service is very inconsistent. I have asked both times for mild sauce and have received it with my meal, not before. Our sauce runs empty, drinks aren't filled. Nice people but need to pay more attention to their patrons. read more

THE BEST MARGARITAS IN TOWN!! My husband and I always come here whenever we wanna have a good drink for an awesome price! Definitely recommend their house margaritas :) read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in Pell City. We were pleasantly surprised by their food, drinks, atmosphere, and most importantly their customer service. I've been here twice now and both time they did not disappoint. Their margaritas are so good and taste very fresh. Everything I've ever tasted has been so great. Everything they serve tastes amazingly fresh! Even the chicken they put in their dishes is so tender and amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed!! read more

This is the best Mexican place in Pell City by far! The salsa and cheese dip will set your mouth on fire but the food is delicious!!
