Delicious, yummy menu full of authentic Mexican street tacos, quesadillas and apps. On the inside, take advantage of the toppings bar. Definitely catch their frozen margaritas and spicy margs for drinks. They also have brunch on weekends! And seating on the sidewalks offer up great opportunity to connect with passing community and people watching. Definitely the cool corner to be on in Birmingham's Downtown foodie scene. read more

Gave this new spot a try tonight. Atmosphere is nice and glad to see a late night option in the downtown area (they are open til 11pm). The salud margarita was good! The tacos were just ok... a lot of meat on a small shell. Has a topping bar which offer three salsa and veggies. Service was great as he did a great job greeting us and explaining the menu.I'll return and try something different in the future. read more

Attentive staff and vibrant, modern atmosphere. Affordable with generous portions sizes and lots of meat. You add your own toppings to your tacos. Meat could have been more flavorful. Overall decent. read more

This place has filled a niche in Birmingham- late night casual yet authentic Mexican food located in the heart downtown. The ambience is just casual enough to watch a game with some friends (if you can score a table) and classy enough to have a date night complete with apps, cocktails, and entrees. Don't be fooled by the prices- the flavor is absolute out of this world and the ingredients are fresh. Don't skip out on the chips and guac and the massive burrito which has generous serving of meat (not rice and beans). I wish this business much luck but I certainly look forward to returning for another late night Mexican meal after a night out! The service was extremely attentive despite being very busy. They were quick to bus tables and clear the area. read more

Very cool and trendy looking restaurant and convenient. The service was nice and speedy however the food was not good and counter effective to my appetite. I had the California Burrito which was something I've always wanted to try but not always available down here so I was pretty intrigued when I saw it on the menu. However the key disappointment was that it was very unseasoned. To the point where I could not detect if even simple salt and pepper was used. I'm not even a person that is accustomed to or enjoy heavy seasoning on my foods, again maybe just some salt and pepper in the cooking process. I could at least live with that even though this is supposed to be a Mexican restaurant and I never known Mexican food not to have at least a pinch of flavor in it. This was simply bland, and it was also soggy for some reason, that may have been my fault because I ordered it to go. There was no cohesion or uniformity of ingredients, the guacamole was browned and again did not have any detectable salt, cilantro, or lime to bring it together, and I never seen a medium rare brisket. I'm not trying to be a hater, I'm just trying to find good food and this place was recommended. But I promise at least this item tasted like wet paper wrapped a untoasted burrito shell. Maybe I should have gotten tacos at least that may have come with a lime or some kind of sauce to enhance the lack of flavor. I was told by my friend after the fact, who said he likes this place that I should have gotten tacos and used some kind of special bar that has toppings. It was my first time there so I wasn't told about it or noticed any bar with toppings on it. And it was probably all my fault for ordering food to go. However, whatever toppings those are should just be a nice enhancement if needed and not what makes the actual food on the plate taste like food. I'm not going to write them off entirely, but should I choose to go back I'll try the tacos and ask if I can have some condiments from the bar. read more

Absolutely phenomenal tacos! We tried four different proteins and each were Amazing and amplified by the toppings bar! Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can be social at the bar, intimate at a table, or take in the city on the street side. Highly recommend! read more

Best tacos in town hands down. The space is beautiful and the staff is amazing. The asada is delicious and the suadero is so tender and delicious. Also, can't say no to a fabulous margarita! read more

What a great urban taqueria. The out door seating on a nice day is peaceful and relaxing. The tacos were amazing. Prices are good, and the meat is served in generous portions. The carne asada was a little dry, but the pork belly was cooked to perfection. Counter service, and they get the food out to you quick. The toppings bars is hands down the best. Variety of onion options, and other items to spice up your tacos. A must try. read more

Great location. Friendly and inviting seating. Tacos were okay, but the drinks were great! Good option for something quick and fresh.

Honestly, there are so many great ways to describe this place. It's everything you'd hope for from a taco truck--if that taco truck were transformed into a modern brick-and-mortar restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a friendly, welcoming staff with big smiles. The vibe is spot-on, with music that perfectly complements the lively, modern taco dining experience. I ordered tacos based on the bartender's recommendations, and they did not disappoint. The portions are generous, and for $5 tacos, they definitely don't skimp on the meat. The sauce bar is a fantastic touch, letting you customize your meal exactly the way you like it. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a sit-down meal with a drink (as I did), SALUD delivers. The food is flavorful, the service is excellent, and the overall experience is just what you'd want from a spot like this. Highly recommended! read more

Such amazing food paired with amazing service. Our group was the worst, we came in 30mins before closing and they still got us our food and drinks and didn't make us feel like the most annoying people in the world. Truly amazing food and would go back (at a reasonable hour) thanks!! read more

Very casual and friendly, I was impressed that they were serving a heavy lunch crowd of both tourists and workers with ease. The food comes fast and fresh, and the condiments are great! You can't go wrong here. read more

Wow!! The tacos are over stuffed. Huge portions. Meat was tender and cooked perfectly. We also had the burrito it was delicious and packed with protein. This place has great outdoor seating in the middle of downtown. Service was fantastic. Drinks prices are a little high. They have plenty of options from beer and specialty cocktails. I will definitely be back. read more

I just had the most expensive extremely mediocre meal at Salud. Nothing but a fast food chain on steroids. All items are Alacarte and very expensive. Service was also poor with the staff handing me a cup for water and telling me where the salsa was and to get it myself. I'll never be back to this place EVER! read more

Tacos are my favorite food. I've heard amazing things about Salud and really wanted to love it. I went with my husband one evening and, since they were out of suadero, we opted for a Cali burrito, tacos al pastor, and nopales. The Cali burrito was greasy and flavorless. The carne asada on it was good, but it was drown out by all the other flavorless ingredients. It didn't even taste like there was salt and pepper. The fries were hard and cold. The nopales were a good vehicle for the salsas from the salsa bar. The pastor was ok-- it was kind of dry and there was no pineapple except a thin slice to garnish the plate. The margaritas were trendy (read: expensive with unusual components). I am dying for a taqueria that just has great tacos and high quality classic margaritas. It shouldn't be hard, but apparently it is, because none has succeeded yet. I'll probably give this place one more try, but I thought the prices were too high for a lackluster experience. read more

We got the birria tacos & the burrito! Both were absolutely delicious. The burrito is huge! They have a condiment bar and have all sorts of different sauces, onions, and cilantro. We also got the frozen peach margarita, and the watermelons mint marg on the rocks. both were delicious and beautifully garnished! We will definitely be back. shoutout to kendall who is doing an amazing job!! read more

Salud has a nice atmosphere and good service, but overall the experience didn't quite match the price point. The food was decent, but felt a bit overpriced for what was served. Seating could also be improved--most of it is on backless bar stools, which aren't ideal for a relaxed meal. With a few tweaks, it could be a much more enjoyable spot. read more

I can't stop thinking about how good the food is here! Tacos are FULL of meat, salsa bar is excellent! Highly highly recommended

We really enjoyed our meal at Salud. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by nice ambiance and even nicer staff. I ordered 3 tacos (pastor, pollo, and suadero), my husband ordered 2 sonora tacos (pastor and suadero), and we split some chips and guac. Everything was excellent and authentic. They also have a garnish bar with sauces, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, etc. for you to add to your meal as you like. Well deserved 5 stars. We can't wait to come back! read more

FINALLY--a true taqueria in Birmingham! We have all kinds of Mexican spots, but a simple, authentic, and delicious taqueria was missing. This place fills that gap perfectly. Love the small, cozy location and the concept--your tacos come with just the meat, and you customize them at the seasoning bar with salsa, onions, and more. The service is always friendly and helpful, and the ambiance is great. Well done! read more

What a great experience! Simple menu, choose your protein then choose your style such as taco, tortas, burritos, etc. Pay for your meal, find seat, relax with a beer or handcrafted cocktail. The portions are large and very satisfying. The burrito was absolutely delicious and the quesadilla was perfect with the homemade masa tortilla. The salsas are served buffet style with accompaniments like onions, cilantro and jalapeños to make it your own. Each salsa is exceptional, full of flavor and not your average boring canned tomato offering. There are a few sides which we did not try at this time but will on our next visits. Service was quick and flawless. A definite great addition to the Bham food scene. read more

my only complaints: the tortillas are too thing for the a generous amount of meat on the tacos. they should at least have 2 tortillas on the taco because they easily break and don't hold together. also, i wish they guac was a bit more limey/vinegary. read more

DO NOT go after 8 pm. they were out of pretty much everything. they told us at first what they were out of so we tried to order based off what they had but after paying we were told that they were out of another item we ordered. we were a party of 4 and charged a "large party fee" that was 20% without notice and was asked for a tip after, which we paid. the food was ok and staff was nice but not worth all of this. read more
