Leftover carnitas michoacanas
Charles P.

Authentic, delicious Mexican food with employees that work hard. After my wife and I finished packing up our leftovers, we saw another table leave. Within a few seconds, the employees were already clearing the table and before we even realized, the table was setup with no remnants of the previous customers. Great food, efficient and friendly employees...this is definitely our New Mexican spot in all of Alabama!

3rd time I've ordered something with steak in it.  3rd time it came burnt to a crisp. I had them remake it twice but I'm done... never again

Stay away from Anything with steak in it and check your order before your leave to make sure it's right. We have ordered from here 6 times in the past 3 months and had to drive back 4 out of the 6 times. The steak in anything is consistently burned to a crisp... fried beef jerky would be better than when they let come out of the kitchen. They have forgotten our chips and salsa twice. I had to show the employees their own menu to get what it says comes with the steak burritos. Twice in a row I was given steak burritos with no sour cream or tomatoes although the menu says it comes with the dish. The first time I had them remake the steak because it was completely inedible, like trying to chew charcoal. still came out with no tomatoes or sour creme. Why the 2 stars? They have really good soft tacos, taco salads, and chips and salsa when you get it. So that's all I'll order from there now if I ever go back. I wish it was better since it is so convenient to us; however, I'll be making the extra drive for now on.

Grilled quesadillas supreme.

Staff was great. We were greeted and sat promptly. Drink order taken right away. Clean. Food was hot & delicious. Reasonably priced.

La Coronilla - To go cheese quesadilla with side of rice and beans

La Coronilla

I moved away to Alabama to play college golf. As a young, homesick California transplant, I thought…read morethat meant the complete disappearance of my beloved Mexican food. Surely, I wouldn't be able to find any quality taquerias here, let alone any that could hold a candle to the ones back home. The late-night taco escapades would have to wait. Enter La Coronilla. Who would have thought that one of the most authentic, delicious taquerias I've ever seen could be found deep in the heart of Montgomery? This place was my absolute saving grace during my time as a student-athlete. I look back fondly on all the times I stopped in to reward myself with some tacos after a long week of grinding, both in the classroom and in competition. The Lengua tacos are by far the best I have ever had, and it is not even close; the meat is somehow perfectly crispy on the outside while maintaining lengua's incredible trademark tenderness at the same time -- nowhere else have I seen this accomplished. It is unbelievably rich, unctuous, fatty, and flavorful. The Al Pastor here is also dynamite; it's beautifully seasoned, has just the right amount of kick, and the pineapple notes really come through. The Chorizo is great as well; a little sweet, a little smoky, a little spicy. The Carne Asada's got a great char on it, and is also well-executed. The place just screams authenticity, and has generally friendly service as well -- though I find it much easier to communicate with the staff in Spanish, rather than English. I'm going to be honest -- having graduated this past spring, there are not very many things that I will miss about Alabama. That said, this place is definitely one of them, and it pains me to think that I may never have the chance to eat here again. La Coronilla became a great comfort for me -- it made me feel like I was home, even though home was thousands of miles away. Please do yourself a favor and stop by. Until we meet again...

Estoy sumamente decepcionada con la manera en que este negocio manejó nuestra situación y con el…read moretrato que recibimos. Hace aproximadamente dos meses, mi mamá, mi hermana y yo fuimos personalmente a este restaurante para organizar la comida para la recepción de mi boda. Hablamos directamente con la dueña, quien sabía perfectamente que el pedido era para una boda. Hablamos de la cantidad y del precio, llegamos a un acuerdo, e incluso ella misma ofreció incluir una charola de arroz y una de frijoles sin costo adicional. Cerramos el trato con un apretón de manos y ella nos indicó que llamáramos una semana antes de la boda para confirmar el pedido. Eso fue exactamente lo que hicimos. Cuando llamé una semana antes de mi boda para confirmar, la dueña se negó a respetar el acuerdo y nos dio un nuevo precio 250% más alto que el que ella misma había acordado con nosotras. Su explicación fue que no habían calculado bien sus costos antes de darnos el precio original. Sin embargo, esa no es responsabilidad del cliente. Como dueña de un negocio, es su responsabilidad conocer sus costos antes de dar un precio y comprometerse con un cliente, especialmente cuando sabe que ese cliente está confiando en ese acuerdo para alimentar a los invitados de una boda. Nosotras hicimos estos arreglos con dos meses de anticipación y seguimos exactamente las instrucciones que ella nos dio para confirmar el pedido. A pesar de eso, nos dejaron a una semana de nuestra boda buscando a última hora otra opción para la comida de la recepción. Cuando intenté hablar con ella sobre el acuerdo que habíamos hecho, me trató de una manera muy irrespetuosa y prácticamente dio por terminada la conversación. Cancelar un acuerdo para la comida de una boda con solo una semana de anticipación porque no calcularon correctamente sus propios costos me parece sumamente poco profesional. Después de nuestra experiencia, yo no confiaría en este negocio para atender un evento importante. Translation: I am extremely disappointed with the way we were treated by this business. About two months ago, my mother, sister, and I went to this restaurant specifically to arrange food for my wedding reception. We spoke directly with the owner. She knew exactly what the food was for, we discussed the quantity and price, and she even offered to include rice and beans at no additional charge. We agreed on everything, shook hands on the deal, and she instructed us to call one week before the wedding to confirm the order. We did exactly that. When I called one week before my wedding to confirm the food for our reception, the owner refused to honor the agreement and instead quoted us a price 250% higher than what she had personally agreed to. Her explanation was that they had not properly calculated their costs before agreeing to the original price. That is not the customer's responsibility. As the business owner, it is her responsibility to know her costs before quoting a price and making an agreement--especially when she knows that customer is relying on that agreement to feed guests at a wedding reception. We made these arrangements two months in advance and followed her instructions for confirming the order. Instead, we were left one week before our wedding scrambling to find replacement food for our reception. When I tried to address the agreement we had made, I was treated disrespectfully and the conversation was shut down. Backing out of an agreement for a wedding reception one week beforehand because you failed to calculate your own costs is incredibly unprofessional. Based on our experience, I would not trust this business to cater an important event.
