We arrived in town and stopped for lunch on this rainy afternoon. The hostess was less than…read moreenthusiastic about seating us and actually a bit rude. We should have cut our losses there. After being seated I ordered a michelada and was told they were out of the ingredients to make one. Seriously? Clamato, Tajín and beer. Okay... Our server is the only good thing about this entire visit. He was very polite and friendly. I ordered the "Mexican lasagna," and my wife had the Pollo Con Hondas. Which obviously means very bland and dry chicken. The "lasagna" was essentially just chicken, onions, peppers and mushrooms slapped between two soggy tortillas. Neither dish was very good at all. If you want decent Tex-Mex, I would advise you not to eat at this establishment. I really don't like to leave one star reviews but this definitely is a one star experience.

This was my first time consuming the well respected establishment of Frida's Cocina and Cantina…read more Usually my scores on Mexican food and Tex Mex cuisine can be viewed as quite critical amongst my peers because I spent many years in Houston, TX where Mexican is king. I ordered the Steak Fajita Burrito, which included a special gravy and cheese on top of an excellent fajita paired with tasty rice and refried beans. Words are not sufficient enough to describe how my tastebuds were taken on a rollercoaster ride of flavor. My peer ordered the Hawaiian Fajita which was cooked and served and a real pine apple. I was told that the flavor over delivered. I could not recommend this enough.

It was a nice day and I decided I wanted a patio and some margaritas. I have yet to try Fridas so I…read moregave it a try. I love the sunken patio which is perfect for relaxing in the shade. When we got seated outside by the friendly staff, we were given menus and free chips and salsa. As I nibbled on the chips and salsa which were just okay I browsed the drink menu. There's a full bar here and plenty of options. Over the course of the afternoon I tried the Frida's Rita and the wonderful rabbit. Both drinks weren't in your face with the tequila mezcal, they were mixed nicely and had a well rounded flavor. I much preferred the Woderful rabbit though as it tasted less watered down and the ginger beer paired with the mezcal was almost quenching. Overall if you're looking for a relaxing spot to enjoy Mexican cocktails this is a good spot! We did feel rushed to get out of there, and maybe it was because we weren't ordering food. Overall good experience however.

When me and mi familia were driving through Birmingham, we stopped at El Barrio for dinner. We had…read morea great experience! The food here was great. For starters, we got chips and queso. 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

Oh man, this place makes me so happy. Since moving to Alabama from CA I have not been actively…read moregoing to search for tacos. I just didn't want to be disappointed. I went to Taco Mama once with a friend, tried El Cazador because the stand on Hwy 72 looked too cute, and went to Cantina Laredo with the hubby for a lunch date. Don't get me wrong, the tacos weren't terrible, but they weren't something I'd crave necessarily. I read about this taco truck during a google search and thought omg this is too good to be true, but it wasn't! I tried it for the 1st time last week with the hubby and was so thrilled. We both got 4 carne asada tacos for $6. So cheap! (I've found that food is not necessarily cheaper here than in CA even with the high wages in CA just saying...) And man was it good. The meat was so well seasoned and they gave plenty of meat per street taco. The only thing missing is some darn Carne Asada fries! I wish that was a thing here! Oh and orange bang. Where can a girl get some orange bang around here? I need my whipped orange creamsicle drink stat! Or whipped pina colada drink! They do have horchata that is a plus! I'm so glad I found this place. Makes this Cali girl so happy!

The tacos were great and the service was fast. I definitely need to go back to try more.read more

She placed my order incorrectly then when I politely ask her if the order could be fix she started rolling her eyes and huffing and puffing.

I'm not sure how the food taste due to the service I didn't stay to eat. Thumbs down! I wouldn't recommend this restaurant! CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS AWFUL! Ok

We ended up coming back a second time with our kids within a couple weeks. I had the brisket Philly cheese steak. The meat was so tender and had a lot of cheese.

You order at the counter and they bring your food to the table when it is ready. Soda and iced tea are self serve at a drink station. The ambiance is very cozy. Prices are about average.
