    Super Burrito - $5.75 lunch special
    Charles C.

    Came here with family last night. Special of the day was lunch fajitas (with a drink!). No lunch portion; they were huge and looked delicious. Can't imagine how much food comes with dinner portion. Two of us got that and they loved it. I had chicken/rice and it came with a salad. It was very delicious. My wife had an a la carte enchilada with the white cheese sauce on top, she loved it. My daughter got a taco salad and tore it up. I also had to get a 75 cent taco. Can't beat that with a stick! Cheaper than Taco Bell and fuller shells. I love the chicken and beef tacos. Even the salsa was on fire tonight. Young girl was serving us. She was friendly and attentive. Thanks Sami's! We will be back.

    Bad Pico de Gallo, ranch dressing, something they called salsa.

    OMG! What a worst representation of Mexican food!! Old El Paso out of a can has more flavor. The chips were ok but the salsa was little more than crushed tomatoes, no flavor what so ever. The Pico de Gallo looked almost translucent it was so old! And the white stuff ended up being Ranch Dressing!!! Who dios chips in ranch or even uses it on Mexican food??? I ordered their special of the day. It was a ground beef burrito with lettuce and tomatoes covered in a red gravy and cheese. After having worked in a Mexican restaurant in high school I can tell when it's real ground beef or the TVP (texturized vegetable protein-soy based wannabe meat) This burrito was TVP. I found three pieces of tomato and a few strands of lettuce. Nothing from the dips to the burrito or the sauce and cheese on top had any flavor. The best part of the meal was the iced tea. Wonder if the folks who voted it Best of the Best even know good Mexican food?

    Sami Fajita Burrito with salsa verde and cheese.  Across the table is the arroz con pollo.

    So, the menu is vast, and the margaritas are actually generous. The service is incredibly slow. First visit: took 15+ minutes after being seated for our server to come to us. The man seated after us actually left instead of waiting. Second visit: It got much better.

    The food is good but the service is very slow. I can honestly say that the food is really not worth a long wait. Good but not great.

    Don Alejo Mexican Restaurant - Chicken Fajita Quesadilla

    Took a risk on a random spot in a town I haven't been to in over 10 years and struck gold…read more Driving from Nashville down to Birmingham and landed in Hartselle right at lunch time. Decided to go Mexican. It's a tiny bit sketchy looking on the outside being in a strip mall front, but Don Alejo has so much character. The inside is beautiful with an intricate floor plan and DIY wood features. Table lights were so pretty with that opaque stained glass look. Tables and booths were clean and had nice style. Staff was fast and nice. I don't care if they make the greatest quesadilla of all time, if their chips and salsa aren't good, it's not a good spot. This place nailed both. They use the thicker, denser chips that I love and the salsa was perfect consistency and had a great flavor. Not too spicy, not too bland. Just right to throw back 50 chips before the food gets out. Prices were insanely cheap. 3.50 for a chicken quesadilla. Tell me the last time you got multiple entrees at a sit down spot and got out for less than 7 dollars! Quesadillas were on the smaller size but I'd gladly pay 3.50 for them. Really good amount of cheese and chicken on them and it tasted great. Good on these guys man. They knocked it out of the park at 1:30 on a Friday afternoon. If I so happen to take another detour to Hartselle, I will be giving them more business

    Have eaten here before but probably not again. Had two ground beef mini tacos with about 2…read moretablespoons of meat and some lettuce in shell. Beans,rice and meat were just warm. Better tacos at Taco Bell! Medium margaritas were large and good. Didn't see waitress until bill came
