Taco Tuesday in Alabama and I had no idea where to go. La Hacienda was about 6 minutes from my…read morehotel so I gave them a try for lunch. The friendly hostess greeted me as soon as I walked in and took my to a table. My waiter brought me water soon after along with chips & salsa. As I looked over the menu I realized many of the other patrons were regulars. I loved hearing the friendly banter between customers and staff. I ordered the carne asada street tacos which are served with refried beans, rice and a guac salad. One thing I really liked is the onion and cilantro are on a separate plate so I could control how much went on each taco. The carne was delicious!! I could eat a plate full of that steak by itself. Everything was delicious and I have added La Hacienda to my places to visit when I'm back in the area.

We've been in and out of town several times in the past year and never noticed them. We saw the sign on what's like a strip mall place and always up for new places.

We live about 7 miles from The Shoals Shack and decided to try it out. The person that took our order was very nice and recommended a few choices which was spot on! I had the Shoals burger and onion rings and my husband had the Shack Attack with fries. We also ordered the pecan pie bread pudding. We were both blown away! The burgers were so good and the onion rings were perfectly crispy! The place was very clean and the staff were friendly. I absolutely recommend this place!

Shoals Shack was my personal choice, and I think I out bought the rest of our crew compared to the restaurant they chose. ;) it was so good! This is a small building on the outskirts of Florence. There's a little parking lot but it's carryout only. I was able to place my order online about 20 minutes before we got there. It was easy and you can even make modifications to your order, which is great! The website said my food wouldn't be ready till 1:45 (I think I ordered ~1:15 or so) but we pulled up at about 1:35 and it was waiting for me! I walked right up to the window and a friendly employee asked if I had an online order. I agreed and confirmed my name and the food was mine! Easy peasy and it was still super hot and not at all soggy. I ordered the Bella burger, which is a burger with mushrooms, Swiss, garlic mayo, and fried onion strings, though I asked for no onion strings on mine. I got a side of French fries and a cup of ranch for dipping. My order was made correctly. The fries were pretty basic but good -- hot, crispy, adequately salted. The ranch was delicious ranch and perfect for dipping. Unfortunately one of my fries did have a small, straight, dark hair attached to it. I'm not wildly squeamish about these sorts of things and it was sort of sitting by itself not touching other fries anyway, so I just chunked it and went about my business. This is really my only complaint for the whole experience. That burger...wow. One of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Perfectly cooked, juicy, a little unctuous but not too much. Soft bun, not soggy, right amount of melt on the cheese, meaty mushrooms in the perfect proportion. And lastly, the garlic mayo really pulled it all together. It was creamy, not overly garlicky, and spread just enough to get a little bit in every bite. I will be hard-pressed not to return here when I'm next in the area. Truly, an awesome burger! I'd be curious to try their other menu items like chicken sandwiches or tacos as well. Thanks, Shoals Shack!

I paid the bill I will never never go back to that business again there are too many Mexican restaurants in my small town I don't need this one. PS: she never even gave me the the bill where it says about adding a tip I guess she knew how much she was getting

It was full of chicken, steak and just a few shrimps with lots of onions and peppers (also 2 large strips of cheese and 2 roasted jalapenos) plus the sides of lettuce, rice and refried beans plus the sour cream, guacamole and Pico De Gallo and of course the chips and salsa to eat before your entree. The food was great, very tasteful (wasn't crazy about the steak, it was a little tough and chewy, but not so bad to take away a star). This dish was very impressive. I ate my fill and I've got enough food to have for dinner. My server was attentive and very nice. My water and chips were brought right out and then the entree was brought out quickly (this was lunch, right after they opened). Looking forward to visiting this restaurant again.

I have been very disappointed in the Mexican choices we have in Tennessee. Our in-laws live just over the border in Alabama and we took my mother-in-law here for an early birthday lunch. Three of us had a "SpotBowl" all with different proteins. My in-laws had pastor and chickens and said it was so so good. I had carnitas meat on mine and the carnitas were cooked PERFECTLY!! Just like they are supposed to be cooked. My husband had the carnitas street tacos and said they were perfect. Staff was amazing and always there if we needed them. The resturant itself is very clean, including the women's restroom. It's a very cute place that has lots of room and lots of menu choices. So the next time you are craving REAL Mexican food flavors go to the Taco Spot in Florence, AL. I promise you won't be disappointed. Oh and their red salsa is so so so good!!! Can't wait to go back!!
