Perfectly cooked and flavorful.

I wanted to try everything on the menu, but finally settled on the Carne Asada burrito. Wow! It was incredible. We've traveled a lot to various parts of California and this burrito was easily as good if not better than any I've had out there (and I didn't have to get on an airplane to get it). It was also very large and quite filling. It came with a Verde sauce that was spicy but not too hot. My wife got the lengua burrito and raved about it, too. This is now going to be a regular stop for us. I can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu, especially some of the breakfast items.

It is stuff with sour cream, pico de gallo, rice, beans, lettuce and your choice of meat. They have a selection of glass sodas but I always choose the Sidral Mundet.

Definitely recommend this place if you want some good tacos in Jasper.

They were really good. After enjoying the starters, I ordered some chicken tacos. They were great! The guacamole was definitely my favorite part. I really enjoyed my meal. The service here was great! Our waiter was super kind and helpful. The inside was super clean. The bathrooms were very clean too. This place had a good Ambiance to it. Overall, great Mexican restaurant and I highly recommend trying it if you are ever in Birmingham.

We heard lots of good things about El Barrio and since we were in the downtown area, we decided to…read morecheck it out ourselves... So glad we did! Being downtown, parking is not always the greatest, but it was a lovely evening for walking less than a block to the restaurant. It was a Saturday evening so there was a little wait, but we were able to sit outside and have a drink while we waited. Once inside, the place was dimly lit, really loud with music and very clean. And for having unisex bathrooms, those were surprisingly clean as well. Our waitress was great, I wish I could remember her name... but I do know she was from Cali. We ordered a couple of strawberry margaritas, which were just your basic drink, but still refreshing. Started off with a basket of chips, salsa and fundido. This is considered an appetizer, so no freebies here. The chips were fresh and warm, the salsa had a nice flavor and the fundido was ok according to the kiddo. We had the grilled shrimp tacos with rice and beans. You had to assemble your own tacos tonight, and order rice and beans separately as the taco plate had no sides, but all delicious.... Beans had a nice kick, the shrimp tacos were missing something in my opinion, but not sure what. We also had the best shrimp quesadilla we ever tried. It has overly stuffed and cheesy with wonderful lime cream sauce to go with it. This entree was a huge hit all around and it did come with a side, so no extra charges. To finish off dinner, we all shared the strawberry tres leches and OMG... Absolutely the best we have had in a while. Too bad it's seasonal. Over all, great experience and would definitely g

Place is tasteful decorated in a festive Mexican theme, service was fast and efficient. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Food was very good. I had the lunch fijatis, if I had any issue it would have been you only get 2 tortillas with the meal, I'm positive I could have ask for more. Also had one of the top shelf margaritas, would have had another except I was alone, so no one to drive. Really good margarita. This place is by far the BEST Mexican Restaurant in the Gardendale Fultondale area. All the others could close and not be missed.
