    I had been looking forward to trying this place because I have seen many reviews that proclaim "authentic Mexican". I've been disappointed before but not this time, they are the REAL deal. I've spent a lot of time in Mexico, and not just tourist towns, from Cancun & Cozumel or Tijuana & Juarez but in cities in central Mexico & many towns up & down Baja from fine dining to roadside stands & everything in-between. Me encanta la buena comida mexicana! Funny story: On our young daughter's first trip to Mexico we stopped in a small roadside cafe for lunch and when her tacos arrived she looked a bit confused. The soft corn tortillas with sliced flank steak (Asada) topped with fresh cilantro and finely diced white onions indeed looked foreign to her. After she discovered these were actually tacos she asked if we could find the nearest Taco Bell :-) I've told that story many times but honestly & unfortunately that's not an uncommon response when lots of folks experience their first time having authentic Mexican meals. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy many Tex-Mex dishes but it's different & it's unfortunate to see bad reviews that rant about no cheese, no crunchy tortilla's or queso dip, etc. c'mon people! If you put "Mi Tierra" in a translator it may say "My Earth" but when Gloria Estafan sings the song "Mi Tierra" it means "My Homeland" & that nuance is important because this restaurant serves the food of the Mexican Homeland... but I digress. Let's talk about this place. It's off the main drag tucked away in a small strip shopping and it's not fancy or decorated with piñatas and sombreros but it's clean & comfortable with friendly people. The owner/manager speaks fluent English but the servers I encountered weren't conversationally adept but handled my orders and other requests just fine. Some of the brutal comments I've read about language are totally unnecessary until you've travelled to countries or places where you don't speak the language or struggle with the basic lingo, you quickly appreciate patient people. There's 2 big screen TV's on either side of the place, there are no margaritas or other alcohol but I love me some Jarritos tamarind so I'm good, and they've got several soda coolers and make some inhouse juices as well. Onto the food, first of all, they bring out four different squeeze bottles of homemade sauces & two different bottled hot sauces already at the table give you nice choices to augment your different dishes. There are fresh tortilla chips out first with an inhouse fresh salsa, it's pretty mild but lots of options to spice it up in front of me. Speaking of choices, the menu offers beef, shrimp, chicken, pork and goat with all those options offered in tacos, burritos, fajitas and soups. For the authentic lovers, there's Menudo, which is hard to find around here. OI would be remiss if I didn't mention their excellent fresh-made tortillas, they are great and you receive 6 of them with your meal. The soups look amazing and there's a big selection so on my next trip I will seriously try one or more of those. For our choices this fine evening, my sweetheart went with the shrimp fajitas which came out fresh & hot. The shrimp were nicely cooked and seasoned with red & green peppers & onions with a side of good rice and refried beans. There's no cheese, guac, lettuce or tomato served with their fajitas but then again that's what I would expect in Mexico. I had the HUGE beef burrito that wasn't hamburger, it was a finely chopped beef that was once again nicely prepared & seasoned and filled with veggies & rice, it was one of the best burritos I've ever had, enough said. Bottom line: The food is authentic and delicious and the folks are professional, friendly and take pride in what that put out. This gringo really enjoys the "real deal" freshly prepared food here and I highly recommend it, period.

    Holy!$@& !!!!!! This place is legit!! I am Hispanic and I'm always looking for food that taste like home. This place is for sure that! Handmade corn tortillas that taste like butter! I had the caldo de res and it was over flowing with meat i couldn't even finish it!!! My kids all had burritos and they were massive!! Everyone went home with leftovers and the prices are good! We paid under $100 for 7 people!! I highly recommend this place!!!

    One of the best and authentic Mexican restaurants I've visited on the Alabama Gulf Coast, Great, simple healthy pinto bean soup, with Cilantro, onions, tomatoes, very soulful, fresh corn tortillas, in the hot containers, great salsa, verde, and red salsa.

    This spot is legit!! Fresh Homemade Corn Tortillas!! Tacos, Burritos, Enchiladas, Tortas, Quesadillas, Flautas, Sopes, Caldos..

The owner at first may seem reserved/unfriendly but trust me he really is a awesome person and the food is his love. Every plate he watches over to insure its done correctly. One night my wife was feeling under the weather and I arrived when they were closing so he said come back tomorrow which I can respect that so I mentioned my wife was sick and wanted some of the soup which he replied aww I didn't realize. Please come in we will take care of her and get her better. The soup was awesome and it did help her feel so much better. When you go tell him the "Bald Headed Fat Man" sent you that rides a motorcyle and has the biker vest said this is the best place. It won't get you or me anything LoL I just want him to know that we aprecaite and love his restraunt.

When we arrived we walked straight in, but didn't pay attention to the name, came to find out that the pictures and the name do not match the restaurant!!!! What the restaurant is really called is (El mariachi Hondureño)! And the pics shown online do not match the food or the restaurant. I do not recommend! Our waiter had the most unpleasant approach and attitude towards us!
