Came here my youngest birthday and we had a very good time. Customer service was elite. Food was very good and they made her birthday a special event with sombrero included. We ordered the following: Texas nachos: 10/10 Fiesta plate: 10/10 I'm plates were almost identical except one had nachos but both were extremely good. The nachos added an extra flavor profile so we enjoyed both. Recommending this place. read more

It was Saturday night after Christmas and we decided to come here and have dinner. It is located in a shopping center off of 280. When we got there, there was not a way we were seated promptly. Our server was Fernando and he was very attentive. We started off with cheese dip, a lime margarita and then I had a blue margarita on the rocks. They were both delicious. I had the grilled chicken quesadilla while my boyfriend had the chicken and steak fajitas. The food was very filling and delicious. The restaurant was still decorated for Christmas, so it looked really nice and the bathrooms were clean read more

The food is Latin for sure but not Mexican enough for me. Mi mama is my litmus test. I usually try tacos, rice and beans. If you can't pass the basics, the Margaritas won't help. The restaurant is lively and plenty of televisions for the games. My in-laws go there all the time...I'll just have to pass. read more

I decided to try out this restaurant and it was worth..My first impressions : authentic vibes ..,the front desk was nice and I was seated quickly. Lots of televisions . Very spacious. The place is full of colorful things. My server was nice and helpful with the menu. Lots to choose from. Service was quick. Enjoyed the chips and salsa. They provide a generous amount of salsa and the chips are on the thicker side vs what I normally prefer on the thinner side. Plenty of drink and food options so, you will definitely find something you like within the menu. I ended up getting the Casa Brias Tacos along with a mango margarita. Both chooses were good. Will definitely be back.., read more

It had been a long time since I'd been here. Went on Saturday because we remembered the food and drinks to be supurb. This place was packed with large birthday and graduation parties but we were seated quickly. We were attended to quickly. And given the huge menu to review. We remembered that we loved the wings so we got lemon pepper flavor. Also got the queso and trojas dip (queso with shrimp, steak and chicken). Those wings are some of the best. The trojas dip was just queso with a few large pieces of fajita meat in it. I wasn't impressed. The plain queso was so good! The salsa is just ok. Almost like tomato puree. As for the entrees. 3 of us got birria tacos. 3 of us HATED the birria tacos! If I'd tried birria here first, I would have sworn them off for good. They were bland and over cooked. The consemme was even bad. One person sent hers back. I can't remember the name of the other entree but it was like chopped meat and peppers. It was OK. My friend and I got the Bob Marley drink. It's huge but doesn't pack a punch. At least not for me (my friend was feeling it). I'm sure this place has good strong drinks based on the crowd so I'll try something different in the future. With that said... I'll plan to return. But I'm sticking to wings and queso. This place is way too overpriced for me to waste my money trying things. read more

Las Trojas Cantina on Hwy 280 delivered a fun and colorful evening out. The atmosphere is big and lively -- lots of space, TVs, and definitely a place you can bring friends or family. I ordered the chimichangas: one grilled chicken, one ground beef. The chicken chimichanga was a win -- nicely seasoned, crisp shell, full filling, and the accompanying rice/beans were hot and fresh. Service was friendly. All in all, I'd go back for the chicken chimichanga and the fun vibe. read more

One of those quintessential go-to Mexican restaurants. Lots of drink and food options and huge dining space. Manager was nice enough to change the TVs around us to the game we wanted. The Alambres was sizzling fresh off the iron skillet. It's essentially a fajita type dish with beef, onion, peppers, cheese and a side dish of the classic rice, refried beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and guac. Corn tortillas over flour all day, every day. And a "medium" sized pacifico lager. The price wasn't cheap for Mexican food, but I would rather have quality Mexican food and pay a bit more for it. There is definitely a difference in quality between some Mexican restaurants. read more

FOOD BETTER THAN BEFORE, pleasantly surprised! I've eaten here a lot over the years since it opened. It's a beautiful restaurant inside, service is quick and good. The other night my friend and I noticed that the menu had changed some. I ordered the Enchiladas Verdes (Suiza), chicken enchiladas with green tomatillo sauce, which I'd had a number of times. It was better, fresher seeming and the guacamole that came with it was better than what they had served on the side previously, looked like it had cilantro. We wondered if it had changed ownership or if they had a new chef. My friend had grilled chicken quesadillas. Our food was good, margaritas good. read more

Unusual limitations to menu. No nachos option for lunch? Good service, attentive server. Prices not the best but not the worst. Chicken quesadilla had more veggies than I expect but that was a plus. Good salsa but too much sodium. Just the worst tortilla chips in town. Chips really set the tone, don't they? Won't be back. read more

Much better Mexican food to be had on Hwy. 280. I ordered the beef tacos, and they were absolutely terrible. Some of the worst I've had. The meat was mushy and silky in texture- something like baby food- with no flavor whatsoever. One of my dinner partners ordered a steak quesadilla, which was tasty but was $19!!! This place is WAY overpriced. My other dinner partner ordered the enchiladas special- a ton of food on the plate but just mediocre. This place is huge and was packed with people. It's way overpriced. Better to go elsewhere. read more

I paid $20, 20!! For a small chicken quesadilla and a SMALL side of rice and a lemonade.Then when we told our waiter we wanted three separate checks he sighed and continued to roll his eyes at us, and then his manager and the waiter talked about us, RIGHT in front of us.we paid $7 for a SMALL thimble of cheese dip.They deceive you by trying to be all nice but really they just want money.I would not recommend. read more

The Angel Plate, period. This is enough for five stars. Order it next time. You're welcome. Oh and by the way, the service was excellent, the inside is spacious and clean with LOTS of TV's, but the reason honestly for five stars is the Angel Plate, no lie. read more

Consistently good food. Horchata is really good when they have it. Try Angel's plate.

We've been going for years. Great food and service. We love the atmosphere. Please check them out.

Came here with some coworkers and it was pretty good. I've always wanted to try this restaurant but never got around to doing so. The servers were nice and attentive. The fiesta plate was really good. Its very cheesy but good. I would recommend, read more

Los Trojas Cantina has been my go-to Mexican restaurant since I moved to Birmingham. Wait times are usually not too long, and the service is always great every time I go. The servers are very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is huge so I typically try something new everytime I go, and I have not been disappointed yet. One of my favorite menu items is the chicken chimichanga with rice and beans. The margaritas are also good as well. It is a bit pricey compared to other Mexican restaurants. Overall this is a great place to try if you are in the area. read more

Las Trojas Cantina - Beef fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

We had a great experience last night eating very good Mexican food. The Mary Tierra was excellent with a combination of seafood, chicken and steak. The steak tacos were great along with the chili con queso. We had the cheese dip as an appetizer which we enjoyed with the warm chips and mild salsa (we prefer it hotter - but it was flavorful). The margaritas were good as well. Our server was very attentive and helpful navigating the large menu of options. I highly recommend this restaurant - the inside decor is really well done and it was a festive environment. read more

I went there with my wife and ordered a burrito and taco combination for dinner. The beef had an odd flavor, honestly I was afraid to eat it. I promised some friends I would go eat Mexican a few weeks later, I didn't know this was their choice until it was too late. I asked if they had a shrimp quesadilla and the waiter said that they did. I figured it had to be better than the beef. It came out with no sides so I asked for a serving of black beans. A big plate full showed up later. With a small cheese dip my bill was $35 and all I had to drink was water. I won't be back. read more

Came in on a Wednesday night and we were promptly seated and served drinks. They currently have some really good drink specials at the moment so definitely stop by and take a look. Our server was really kind and offered his suggestions without hesitation. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the restaurant because it was so inviting for such a big place. The menu was vast and extensive; so many great options to choose from but I ended up getting the fiesta plate and adding onions and peppers to it. The flavor was so rich and the serving was HUGE, so you definitely have enough for leftovers. One of the best Mexican spots in Birmingham. Definitely recommend! read more

The prices for menu items are roughly 50% to 100.% higher than other local zMex. restaurants! Food is average to good.!

This place is a treasure! I met my friend here on a Thursday night at 7pm for dinner. We were promptly seated and greeted by our server. All the staff were wearing masks and the restaurant is very spacious and spaced out. The space is well maintained, clean and very festive. I think their chips really stood out. They are slightly thicker than what you get in other restaurants which gave them a nice bite. And they came out warm! For my entree I ordered a salad with steak and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size is huge, which did not deter me from wolfing it down. It also was only $10.25 which is a really good price. The salad had grilled carrots, zucchini and mushrooms on top of shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. The veggies were really well seasoned, salty and modestly spicy, and retained good texture. The steak was slightly overcooked and bland but still acceptable. I really appreciated the service. We got our meals 10 minutes after we ordered. Our server came by immediately after and asked how the food is. Our drinks were refilled regularly. In all, I had a great time here and will definitely come back! read more

This was my first time coming to Las Trojas Cantina. I arrived around 6:30 pm. I met a group of 8. The restaurant is huge and was crowded. It's obviously a very popular place. We didn't have to wait long for a table. The menu is extensive. They serve everything from your typical Mexican offering to chicken wings and crab legs. The drink menu is extensive as well. It took 20 minutes just to look over the menu. Our server (bless his heart) tried his best but was overwhelmed by the crowd. The service was VERY slow. It took a long time to place our order and an even longer time to receive our food. The food was decent. I enjoyed my drink. But the service was not up to par. The prices are also a little higher than other similar Mexican restaurants. Lastly, the guacamole that was freshly prepared at our table was completely lacking in flavor. The cheese dip was flavorless as well. read more

Do you like alcohol? I know I do so coming here for margaritas is almost always on my radar. They're big, they're boozy and the bartenders are so friendly. The coco margarita, bob marley, and best mexican margarita are all delicious. Want something extra boozy? Get the Cowboy drink that comes in a cute glass boot. It is kind of smokey (mezcal) and they only allow you to order 2 per person. The food is very generously portioned and is actually pretty damn good to be TexMex (I am typically not a fan of TexMex). My girlfriend and I always start with the fresh guac that is made table side. My only complaint about the fresh guac the last 2 times is that the jalapenos have had no spice at all. Other than that, it's great. Our other go to options are shrimp fajitas, chicken tacos (lots of flavor), crazy quesadilla and fiesta plate (huge, delicious and shareable). S.N. - Sebastian (Bartender) is wonderful. Roberto (Waiter) is also wonderful. They both have great attitudes, make exceptional recommendations and do their jobs flawlessly. read more

Ugh. Besides them having large dining area to accommodate large group, this place is just getting more and more expensive with crappier food. Still charges small things such as sour cream. Come on!!! That said, I now found a New Mexican near by so I'll be taking my business there instead of here. read more

This entrée was literally a fiesta of flavors in my mouth! I've been coming here for a while and knew the food was good, but today I found my favorite dish ever out of all of the Mexican restive tried in Birmingham. The fresh veggies paired well with the chipotle sauce on the well seasoned chicken and shrimp. I'm only getting this from now on when I eat here! read more

Food was very good and service was quick. Need to go a few more times before making a final decision.

This used to be our favorite Mexican place. We even came on occasion after we moved across town but tonight will be the last. After opening the menu to see the sticker shock of the doubled prices, we started in on the chips and salsa while we waited several minutes for our drinks to arrive. The chips were ok when warm, but after a couple of minutes you can tell they are quite stale. They have also gone to thinning out their cheese dip along with the price hikes. Tonight we say "adios" to our long time friend. I understand that times change and the economic situation is though with inflation out of control and gas over $4, but there are just too many negatives here to make the trip worth it. Even if we were close like before our dollars would go a LOT further at other local Mexican places. read more

This place is good! I'm talking GOOD good! The portions aren't for the faint of heart, so don't fill up on the chips and salsa. That is easier said than done since the salsa is delicious. It's a smooth thick salsa that has great flavor. The hot salsa has a smoky chipotle flavor and is nothing but pure peppers, still it's delicious. I ordered the crazy quesadilla which our server, Juan recommended it was a fabulous suggestion. It had so much protein on it! It was a quesadilla overflowing with chicken, steak, green peppers and onions topped with a cheese sauce that had even more chicken, shrimp, tomatoes, and onions. It was incredible! The guacamole doesn't come in small ramekins with your order, we're talking about big dollops of it on your plate. My husband ordered the Alambres plate. He jokingly called it a Mexican philly cheese steak that he loved. Heaps of grilled thinly cut steak and bacon with grilled green peppers, onions topped with cheese and served with flour tortillas. As I said, the portions are monstrous, so be prepared to ask for a box to take some home. We're so glad that we found this place! read more

Have eaten here many times and always enjoyed it. Came in for the first time in several months and unhappily found the menu prices had skyrocketed. The food wasn't great, just as good as any other Mexican place, nothing to justify such exorbitant prices. The service was the slowest we've ever had and the restaurant is looking tired. The beautiful light fixtures we've always admired had many light bulbs burned out. Not sure we'll be back, very disappointing read more

I'm the beginning of Las Trojas moving into brook highland shopping center their large space and robust menu was extremely appealing. Over time, which Covid may have played a part, their consistency was lacking and the service declined. Their Miguel's pizza dish is typically my go to choice. Hopefully they've been able to gain some consistency and I'd be willing to try again in the future! read more

Las Trojas is your classic Americanized Mexican cuisine. The staff is usually friendly but almost always occupied with each other rather than the tables they are serving. It's not uncommon to have to flag down your server. The food is VERY underwhelming. We did not enjoy the salsa. It was thick, smooth and had a lingering flavor we didn't enjoy...our guess was that it was old! We decided to grab a few beers and split lunch. The beer prices are okay. Not the best deals and definitely not the worst. If you get a draft beer they have two options: regular or an elephant foot. I opted for the regular. The beer was flat but at least it was cold. My boyfriend just got a bottle. No problems there. We ordered the chicken chimichanga lunch special with extra rice no beans. The chicken was so dry we couldn't even get it down. The rice was okay just a little overcooked (probably because it was sitting in a pan). The guacamole was not fresh and had a paste like texture. The tomatoes were probably from a can! We have tried Las Trojas at least 3 times over the past year (twice for dinner and once for lunch). But it's just not our spot. And after this time around we won't be back. read more
