I was in Montgomery dropping my daughter off at college, and someone recommended Little Donkey. We actually went twice during our visit, and both times the service was great. I ordered the fried chicken taco, smoked beef brisket taco, Gulf shrimp taco, and catfish taco. I enjoyed most of the tacos, especially the fried chicken, shrimp, and catfish. The smoked beef brisket was the only miss for me because it was pretty dry. Now...the rice and beans. This is where my L.A. taste buds kicked in. The rice wasn't the flavorful Spanish/Mexican rice I'm used to back home, and both the rice and beans were pretty bland. I also ordered a top-shelf margarita, but you could barely taste the liquor. They have a sign posted stating that their drinks contain 1.25 oz of liquor, which I quickly learned seems to be pretty common around Montgomery. Definitely different from what I'm used to in L.A.! The chips and salsa, though? Really good! The chips were fresh and crunchy, and the salsa tasted fresh. We liked them so much we ended up ordering two orders. Overall, Little Donkey was a nice spot. The restaurant was clean and the service was consistently good. While the Mexican food is definitely different from what I'm accustomed to in Los Angeles, there were still several things we enjoyed enough to come back a second time during our trip.

I was okay with Cheese Enchiladas, so I always ordered those. The first time we ate at San Marcos, he urged me to try a little guacamole taco with my Enchiladas. I did, and was very pleasantly surprised with ALL of the food there. Their Cheese Enchiladas were much better than they had been at any other Mexican Restaurant, and every single other entrée I tried was very good as well! The Service was Always excellent. We never had to wait forever, nor were we rushed into ordering. No matter how busy they are, they take good care of their patrons. Many other Mexican Restaurants look nice and fancy with outside and inside decor. Not quite as much at San Marcos. The MOST important thing about a restaurant, is the quality of their food, and their service. San Marcos beat out every other one, in my opinion!!

The person that accompanied me was in disbelief when I conveyed the poor decorum of the "waitress!" I deliberately called her attention to my empty glass and asked for another drink and purposely said "I think I can afford a second" to prove that I I couldn't make this up! She chuckled and said "the price of drink is why we ask!" How presumptuous and not to mention humiliating!? To patronize me with this assumption was baffling. I will NEVER step foot in this location again spending my hard earned money to be insulted because of my race. That was the epitome of racism! Absolutely unwarranted. I wouldn't have stopped to have a drink if I couldn't afford to. For shits and giggles a second was ordered to prove that " this isn't that!" IF indeed this is a question asked to ALL guest that order a patron margarita, find a more suitable professional way to see if they are capable to pay.

I checked Yelp beforehand and noticed some pretty negative reviews, but after eating here, I honestly have no idea why. I had a fabulous experience! The food was great and very reasonably priced. I ordered the enchiladas verde, half chicken and half beef, and the portion was huge. They also bring complimentary chips and salsa, and the salsa was really good. My waiter was incredibly friendly and helpful. He took the time to help me decide what to order and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The service was top-notch. It definitely has a lively Mexican bar atmosphere, but I thought that was part of the charm. Great food, generous portions, reasonable prices, and friendly service--especially when you need a good meal later in the evening. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend this place to my fellow business travelers!

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.
